Click on Multiplayer and then select the Sierra.com logo in the upper
center of the screen. Once you register, you will be taken to the lobby
screen showing available races. You have to have your CD in.

I think people just don't notice that you can click on the Sierra logo.

> -- I think the PROBLEM with that screen is twofold. The Sierra logo looks
like a logo,
not a clikable button AND the manual says you have to register at
Flipside.com(another Havas step-child) but NOWHERE in the multiplayer
screens do you see the flipside
logo.
also they changed the way you connect slightly. before you went to the
WON.net servers first then if you chose, used an ip address to connect or
use the displayed races via Won. But now it's reversed, you immeadiately
are at the address screen with nothing
displayed that moves you on to the next item...i.e. flashing arrows pointing
at the Sierra logo...The Sam & Max people could have made a very interesting
menu display for this...:)

There are lots of things that didn't get into the manual or readme file. Like
what the column headdings mean. You are just left to figure it out for
yourself. I still don't know what two of the three left hand columns
mean.....I figgured out that P is password and + means you need one to join the
race but what do the others mean.
Maybe a lot of folks don't realize that when you click on the column title it
sorts the available races alternately in ascending and descending order by that
factor....If you are looking for a certain track you can have races in
alphabetical order....or for latency minimums or current pings to look for
races that you might be able to r;un with little warp....or even to sort by
whether or not you need a password.
Why didn't Pappy put any worthwhile info and instructions in the game?????
(Don't gimme NOCRAP in E-mail)
If you right-click on a column heading, you will get a pop-up description of
the column.

>Don't you think that this is all common sense? I mean, if I see a column or
multiple columns, my immediate instinct is to see if I can sort a column
though clicking it. Who really doesn't know this? I'd guess that most of
us do. The ones who don't are the ones who ask such questions as, "How do I
play N4 online"?
In writing a manual one has to consider what to include and what not to
include. If you try from the onset to include everything, you'll be writing
until the Second Coming. You must therefore assume a certain amount of
common knowledge from your readers, and I consider sortable columns and
other things in N4 common knowledge, which would, as a matter of course, not
be included in the manual.

Yes, but unfortunately they need to think about the MTV Generation and their
15-second attention span.
