DirectPlay sucks.

When I tried it, the game went OOS. On a lan. Not even Doom does that.
Interesting that it's a problem on both sides.

Admittingly, they were slower machines, and for the short time it was okay to play, the game for some reason has to snyc the fps or something, it was odd.

I tried it just recently with faster (P3) machines and we couldnt get a game to be seen. Dunno if MS took out DirectPlay 2 in DirectX 7.0a, because no one uses it.
