Question about N2003

by Kai ?ber » Wed, 07 Jan 2004 21:31:25

Can N2003 be played on 3 monitors using 3 computers connected to a LAN like
GPL so that you host a multiplayer game on one computer and join the session
with the two other computers and use them for watching and this way get left
and right sideviews.

I know N2003 supports Surround *** with a Matrox Parhelia card, but I
don't have one and the Parhelia doesn't have drivers for Windows98 which is
the OS I'm using. I do have however 3 monitors and computers  because I play
GPL in the above way and would therefore be interested to know if N2003
works in the same way.

Cheers,
Kai

I don't know why it wouldnt work.  Just look at the readme file to
figure out the networking.  The only thing i can imagine being a
problem is you're gonna need three copies of the game, or the no-cd
patch, in which case you won't be able to race online through sierra
(unless you're using something like Daemon Tools or another such hack.

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't race online so that's really not a
problem.

Cheers,
