    Either that or they are just too busy playing well programed games, like Supreme Commander.

    Or even really old games like StarCraft or Total Annihilation or Theme Hospital.

    All of those games could play by the rules

    Re: [H3XU5].lan3 - 20/21/22 February 2009 - Uttoxeter

    My point was simple, Red Alert has always been coded by muppets, from the very begining, it took ages to load etc.

    Bad code will always break, be it new OS, new hardware, or even new firewall software!

    Its kind of like someone complaining the road wasn't built how they wanted, as they try to transport a house!

    But this is off topic, however feal i should point out i've played Transport Tycoon at a lan before now (it was like 3 am, and our reaction times where shot!)

    Re: [H3XU5].lan3 - 20/21/22 February 2009 - Uttoxeter

    my point is also simple, game that we play at lan + vista = fail, therefore vista fail for lan

    If all thats played at a LAN is one game, which can run fine in a virtual machine, thats scored not that great:
    http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpage...uer%20generals

    Then its kinda not worth the trip imo.
    (even TA scored 3% better!)

    Or mabye we should all start playing some IPX games under DOS?

    Whoever said anything about just playing that? Just said that a few of us enjoy playing it!!

    There's plenty else going on, all we found is that C&C is not the kinda game to be installed ont eh fly @LAN as its difficult. deffo a pre-load kinda game!

    Meh, I don't know the difference between different configs and all that...

    Vista came pre-installed on this laptop, and rasta said it was hard to load in the first place (confirmed when I tried to have a test game)
