F1 2001 - Multiplayer?

Hi; I understand that F1 2001 has only a few multiplayer options. Is it possible to connect IP to IP and still have a full field of computer players? Looking for a good F1 game to have a season with a few friends and hoping this might be it. Thanks

You can do it on a LAN, but I haven't tried it IP to IP. I'll get back to you on that. :) Raymond ACT LABS www.act-labs.com On Tue, 15 Jan 2002 09:10:28 -0500, "John" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Oh...Maybe it is another game I am thinking of...dang...I am getting them all so mixed up.... :( Did F1 2000 or Championship season have it? I am almost sure I played it in some F1 game recently with AI. On Tue, 15 Jan 2002 19:04:50 -0000, "Ashley McConnell" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Bah, I was hoping you had found an option I had missed :) Ash "Raymond, ACT LABS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Oh...Maybe it is another game I am thinking of...dang...I am getting > them all so mixed up.... :( Did F1 2000 or Championship season have > it?

Relay enables online play (IP-to-IP) with a client/etc. goto: http://f12001.relaygames.com and grab the Relay Software. Then you can all meet in there... create a session, and race. Unfortunately, there is no AI enabled in F12001 Multiplayer (game limitation).

Schumi, I never did get it working properly :(. I have never managed to get round a single lap without disconnecting even with no firewall :(. It must be something to do with my setup as there seems to be hundreds of other people who can do it fine. All the best, Ash Schumi wrote:

I never got it working either. Partway around a lap -- even after a chat session with the host so I know it wasn't a host 'boot'ing me off -- I would get the message "You have been removed from this race" (or words to that effect). Tried: Firewall enabled and disabled. Router enabled and direct connect to my modem. Antivirus program enabled and disabled. (no problems with VROC) And not that many races anytime I've been on the Relay site, and only three or four racers per race. Basically a recipe for leaving F1 2001 and Relay alone (IMHO). The only reason I haven't removed it from my computer is lack of energy. Posted a message in the Relay forums asking about this; the last time I checked -- more than a week after posting the question -- there were no answers or suggestions. Forums seem as moribund as the racing. Too bad! -- Darryl Ashley McConnell wrote in news:[email hidden]: > Schumi, > > I never did get it working properly :(.
