Hosting a LAN Game

[AussieJay]

Hello, I have a few questions about hosting a LAN Soldat game.

I have two computers, both connected to a LAN hub. We've played games such as Empire Earth, AOE and some shooters so we know the LAN system works. I know that Soldat is LAN compatible but I'm having trouble setting it up.

With most LAN games there is a HOST GAME button. I can't find something like that - is it the dedicated server thing? I want to play and host the game. Can someone please explain how to set up a small LAN game?

Thank you in advance!

Hosting and playing in the same game is as easy as clicking Start Game on the tab with the very same name. You might want to set up the server options from the Options tab beforehand, and change the Connection setting to LAN as well (I doubt this is required, but what the hey).

As for the person joining the game, do note that Soldat's LAN server browser will rarely (if ever?) work. Just manually put in the IP/port of the host instead.

Already done.

I've noticed that! It produces errors and glitches for some reason.

Okie dokie. Thanks.
