synchronization problems?

<t>Didn't think it could be anything like synchronization problems. We use timed turns and both clocks never have more than a few seconds difference. Thought it was something like units in bad order (routed, retreating, etc.) might not be capable of reporting their situation, hence the player doesn ...

Unseen Opponent Fire

<t>Just started playing SPWAW on my home LAN and noticed something strange. The computers we play on are in close proximity to each other, consequently my opponent and I can hear each others fire on both computers. What we've found is that many times when one side is firing the action is not showing ...

<t>Most of my H2H LAN gaming has been IPX, never a problem, always connected. It's just since I've started with TCP/IP connections that I have such problems. A really irritating discovery I had the other night is though I've always played Starfleet Command via IPX, as an experiment I connected via ...

<t>Hello again gents, thanks for your continued support. Larry: one unit has Win98 while the other has Win98 SE. I just put SE on the other system, however when both were running Win98 I still had the same problem. Paul: Checked my hub, you're right, I too have an uplink port, unfortunately neither ...

So much for the "reinstall an unpatched version theory". I unfortunately have to report that after downloading version 4.5 complete, and reinstalling on both systems I still achieve the same result.....no H2H play. I remain absolutely baffled and frustrated.

<t>Well.....at this point what I've decided to do is about as radical as I can get. My version of SPWAW is 4.5, however it started it's life on these systems as 4.0 with patch after patch, following patch. My thought is my problem may be manifesting itself because I've been through so many ...

<t>First....my sincere thanks to all of you who have responded. The bad news is I've tried all of the above suggestions but to no avail. I have however discovered perhaps another clue to this puzzle. After "host" (player one) turn 1 is over, and as "client" (player two) turn 1 should begin the host ...

Computer 1 which I'll call "host" has a modem, computer 2 which I'll call "client" does not. Don't know if the modem makes a difference because ...
