DK1 KeeperFX multiplayer over TCP/IP

[psycix]

Not sure if this belongs in DK1 multiplayer or KeeperFX... move if required.

I noticed KeeperFX had a TCP/IP option in the multiplayer screen.
However, I have tried with both LAN and hamachi and I am unable to see eachother or eachother's game...

Does this option even work, or am I required to get IPX running on Windows 7 64bit?

In KeeperFX, only the TCP/IP option works. It is mentioned in readme, and there's a separate text file explaining how to use TCP/IP.

Ah I see it!
Awesomesauce, I'm going to try it out. :3

Hope it works for you. I've never played DK1 multiplayer before myself. I'm not really that good with the game. D:

Haven't tried it yet (other player's PC decided to bluescreen right before we went to try it and had to be re-installed), but I will get back to you with my experiences after we tried it!

It worked!

I played a few games, 1vs1 over TCP/IP.
The game speed is OK, and once in a while it might have to take a few seconds resyncing, but other than that it goes smoothly!

It crashes when you use posession though, so we had to agree to not use that.

Were you playing in the same room or you played against a player far away?
