In the game's description on Abandonia it says;

"The multi player mode supports IPX and TCP/ IP as well as direct connection or modem."

I am yet to discover where this TCP/IP or direct connection feature is. All I see is IPX (which doesn't work at all for me on Windows XP) and dial-up modem selections. About the only chance at multi-player I have at making it work is Hot Seat.

Does anyone know how to get this game to work on Windows XP to another Windows XP machine on a LAN or over broadband internet?

(I've actually tried reading every tutorial on the internet about how to use DOS Box's IPX emulation and still couldn't get this game to work in multi-player!!)

I love this game

And I am use to play it from time to time. I have an original disk bought from e-bay but i have same problem with freezing.

I will try your advises with DOSBox and I will keep you informed

There wouldn't happen to be a way to increase the window resolution above 640x480, would there?

You can run DOSBox in fullscreen mode. Alt+Enter when the program is running switches it between windowed and fullscreen.
Additionally, you can make DOSBox start in fullscreen by default. Open dosbox.conf and find a line that says fullscreen=false , then change it to fullscreen=true .

The exact size of the window can be controlled by the windowresolution= setting inside the config file. Note that this will not increase the actual resolution of the game screen, only the size it's shown at.

The problem is the resolution of the game screen, not DOSBox window.

In this case, it's unchangeable.
Only DOS games where you could change the resolution were some later 3D titles - Duke Nukem 3D, Quake etc.

Hi,
an error occurs everytime I try to run one of the last four training missions. Same problem for some other missions from time to time, few work but then suddenly one in the middle doesnt. WTF?!
the error looks like this:
there is the initializing screen of a map(most zoomed out look on the map and loading bar)and after oading bar is ful screen freezes and over the top of it is written in red letters:

assertion failed: object_index == read.objects.GetCount()+1, file smrtfile.cpp, line 183
ABNORMAL TERMINATION

It performs some (different) error when ending the game as well, so I always have to Ctrl+F9 the dosbox

any ideas? thx

[_r.u.s.s.]

hmm try different core settings, but if that fails, i'd try asking on dosbox forums
