Hi,
Just wondered if any of you has tried to set up a LAN Multiplayer game with your own official dvd game or Steam version against a crack version ?
I have the Steam version, and would like to test the LAN gaming before my friend comes with his DVD version of the game. (So we know it works as he has had some connectivity issues with his DVD version in F1 2011 online sessions - he has been kicked off in the Lobby/Garage - just before racing, but he can play a various number of other online games).
The Steam version cannot be divided to also run my testpc, at the same time, as to licensing issues. Fair enough.
I am now left with testing my Steam version on my pc, and a crack version on the test pc. The crack version works fine, as far as starting up with an offline Windows Live Gaming account.
Whenever I host a LAN game from either the Steam version on my pc or the crack version on the test-pc, they cannot see each others LAN race. My Steam version can of course host Multiplayer games online, and join online. No problem.
Both machines are member of the same local network, IP adresses, subnet etc is set up as you would normally do, and they can both map network drives from other machines, to each machine, and they can map local drives to each other and share files and folders. The network connection works so to speak ;-). Both running updated Windows 7 Ultimate x64 versions. Firewall disabled.
The LAN part in F1 2011 does not work. Is that because of the crack version and WGL offline account on the test pc or has someone a fix to this issue.... or at least has tried the same setup - any experiences we can share ?
It would be much appreciated.
Cheers Peter
EDIT: I will anyway get back with more information when he comes by at some point, with his DVD version so we can test the LAN Multiplayer with two official versions, it would just be nice to know some expereinces of LAN if it is to be forgotten until F1 2012...
