    Just so you know, Arcanum wasn't really meant to be multiplayer. If I recall correctly, Troika had made it specifically singleplayer, Sierra just forced multiplayer on them in the later stages of programming. That's why multiplayer Arcanum doesn't work as it properly should.

    That said, I hope someone will be able to actually help you.

    And welcome to the forum! :wavey:
