network game issues
hello all,
i know it's not only me who noticed issues while playing over LAN but let me summarize in this post a little bit. so, this is what fails for us:
- often there is an error that there were different maps generated. this is a workaround: the player running server will wait until all players are connected and THEN he does the map selection
- when any of the players exits the game before it finished when it comes to his turn it just waits and does nothing, the game has to be terminated
- sometimes the game idles for no apparent reason (there is a network icon animation in upper-left corner of the screen), after a while you'll get server timeout error
- queue error -
maybe somebody has experienced a few more bugs or can provide more info/workarounds.
regards, joe
