Question on MP

Stossel · #1 August 11th, 2004, 02:17 PM

Hello,
I've just recently started joining MP games and I had a question I figured someone would know around here. I have Dom2 installed on my pc and my laptop, my question is that if I start playing an MP game on my PC, can I at any point log onto the server with my laptop and continue play there?

Thanks in advance.

you mean submit your turn to the host in an MP game?

sure, I do it all the time, as I bounce between two locations and two machines. the only thing to watch out for is that if you check up on an already submitted turn (ie. before the game hosts and there is a new turn) from a different machine, it will wipe out the turn you already submitted and you'll have to redo it. I did that once in a huge game w/ 10 minutes left till hosting :O

Im trying to remember but there is something about the difference in the menu between hitting "E" versus hitting "esc". If you hit esc you get an option to "quit without saving" which I believe lets you out of the server without update.
