Network Latency - message

[Traveler]

While playing MP game with NA 1.07 patch we recieve multiple "Network Latency" messages, then we're dropped to desk top.

Note, we played for several weeks with EUII NA 1.06 patch with up to 3 players, before patching to 1.07 lastnight.

The game we played last night only had myself and another playing. We both have cable modems. I have an Athlon 750 MHz processor, with 384 Megs of SDRAM, runnning windows 98se ; the other (who was the host) has a 2 GHz machine, with 512 megs of RAM, running windows XP.

After encountering the message and problem several times we reloaded uninstalled EUII, then reinstalled EUII then patched it to 1.07.

Again we encountered the message and eventually we were dropped to the desk top.

Another note, the host never recieves the message, only I did.

I hope this helps if ya need more info let me know.

Thanks,

Traveler

Actually I think the fastest response will come from the MP forum so I'll move this thread over there, but I'm guessing it might possibly be related to a firewall setting on one of your computers (wouldn't necessarily be yours though).

Moved to MP forum

I dont use a firewall program and I know the host doesn't either. ALso, I've only played MP games with same 2 players over the past few months ( and the other doesn't use a firewall either). We've played with 1.06 for several weeks, with the occasional drops and lock ups.

We just encountered this new problem when we patched to 1.07 last night, we can't play for more than a year when it locks up and drops to desk top.

We'll reinstall tonight to 1.06 and see if the message appears. Then patch again to 1.07. And take turns between the 3 of us to see if we continue to get the message.

Thanks for your help,

Traveler
