Hi, I've been playing N4 for close to 2 weeks now, and most of this time multiplayer. One thing that has completely mystified me is the fact that I can join any race on the sierra server, EXCEPT the papyloop games. I can a "timeout opening network interface" or something... What is so special with papyloop servers that I cannot join them? I want to race in those since they are usually the busiest ones... Regards, Mike
You should be able to join them fine as long as the session has not progressed past the joining state. -- Don Burnette D Burnette in N4 Some people do nothing wrong. The problem is, they do nothing. And THAT is wrong. "Micha�l" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hi, > > I've been playing N4 for close to 2 weeks now, and most of this time > multiplayer.

No no no!! I somehow knew that was going to be the reply :-) I know exactly how multiplayer works, I've been playing on other servers with no problem whatsoever. But trying to join the papyloop races, it timeouts. There is no limit on ping quality (and my ping is around 100), it is in practice, it is not full, and my rating is good. I have been completely confused as to why the papyloop races are different... Mike On Thu, 15 Mar 2001 03:02:18 GMT, "Don Burnette" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I have been in a few. Cant say that I noticed anything different about the connection. Mabe something like your trouble is the reason for the beta patch for multiplayer? If you havent already, give it a try. "Micha�l" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
