Multi-player

[Walkin49ers]

Just wondering if you can play multi-player in trainmaster or patch 1.06. I have the games working no problem but when my friend and I try to play a multi-player game in lan connection it crashes as soon as you try to build a train. I love the game but find it much more enjoyable playing with a buddy. Is it possible and if so how do I stop it from crashing when I try to buy a train. FYI- I'm using the no-cd crack would this make a difference. Thank-you

It's been so long since I've tried playing RT 1.06 multi-player I don't remember. I know i was able to get 1.05 working multi-player, but I'm not sure about 1.06.

I'd check to make sure you have everything installed exactly the same way. Most of us here don't play multi-player so it's our one area of weakness in answering questions.

I just found a post from Milo from 2007, and he said that he would recommend playing RT3 multi-player in 1.05 as he (and the others who helped create 1.06) did not test 1.06 at all in multi-player, so it's unknown if it would work correctly or not.

TM is based on the 1.06 exe, and I don't think it works multi-player. Not something I ever thought about.

Thank-you for the quick reply. I play multi-player on the 1.05 patch no problem, its just the 1.06 and trainmaster that crashes when i try to buy a train. I'm wondering if this might be a quick fix since it works and loads all the way to that point where i try to buy a train but understand I'm probally out of luck seeing as the majority of you's play single player. DRAG Once again thnx for the quick response and I guess its 1.05 or nothing. thank-you

I see you're from Hamilton Ontario Ned. Well if you want to help out a former Ontarian if you're bored and get TM workin for multi-player that would be great. LOL Just kidding(No I'm Not) I'm from St.Thomas Ontario not too far from you. Anyhow like I said thnx for the quick response, Ive played and replayed 1.05 so many times it's lost its charm, so I guess I'll have to find something new. Have a good one, don't work too hard. LOL

Have you played all the 1.05 maps in the archive here? There's a slew of them.
