Johan I'm going insane!

[JohnMK]

Help me! I'm addicted, a testament to your fine program. Unfortunately, I can not play this game multiplayer because of DirectPlay DX7. Could you please implement DX8 DirectPlay instead of DX7? I believe this might help in solving the firewall issues I've been experiencing.

Thank you,

John

Its true this man is going insane.

Imagine being stuck with a 10mb link and not being able to play.

I think I would have already wiped out a small town in my madness- Johan, spare them his wrath and give the man a break.

I simply don't have a month to rewrite it now.

But DX8 DirectPlay is pre-configured and stuff, isn't it? Wouldn't it only take a few seconds to implement?

How are you handling multiplayer in future games?

 

[JohnMK]

Bumpershoot.

Hmmm...

Okay ill maybe look like a noob but... I have DX8 and dont have any firewall trouble!?! I mean,would DX7 be better for blinding the firewalls?

 

[JohnMK]

It depends on Johan's implementation of Directplay. If it makes DX7 style calls, it doesn't matter that you personally have DX8 installed. It'll function just like you're using DX7. That's my understanding of it anyway.

Wow, I'm glad I learned to speak the Queen's English. Almost everyone understands what I'm trying to say with only a minimal exertion of effort in doing so.
