[not a bug]Netgame crash

Epoch · Post by **Epoch** » Fri Feb 24, 2006 20:26

Whenever I try to host a netgame, GZdoom freezes before loading anything, creating an HOM on my desktop. When I press escape, it crashes and gives me a "netgame synchronization aborted" message.

It does not seem to be anything to do with the "waiting for players," as I can't join the server from my other computer.

It freezes when it doesn't get the right amount of players for a netgame, which is what you are experiencing. All it's doing is waiting for the correct number of players, even the original Doom wouldn't start up until there were the number of specified players in a net game.

No bug.

Then how many players does it expect?

From 'ze ZDoom Wiki:

"-host #" Use this command to host a game with ZDoom, where # is the number of players.

This also applies to GZDoom.

I trust Phobus on this one.

Still not working, same error message.

Do you even have anybody joining your game? If not then perhaps you may want to find somebody to do it, or join it yourself from a second computer, or just play single-player. It seems to me that you don't have anybody joining, or you don't know how to join.

Try running one instance of GZDoom, that hosts for two players, then run another instance of GZDoom (on the same computer) and join with the IP of 127.0.0.1 (the loopback address... basically, connect to yourself)

In case you haven't read the first post, I have been joining from my other computer.

I'm trying the self-connect right now.

Have you been doing it properly though? All the evidence we have says that you most likely are making a mistake somewhere.

You might want to take a look in this forum. This isn't a Gzdoom or a zdoom bug, it's something on your end.
