Me and my friend was playing Arcanum only to find his PING number is around 30-400!!!So damn lag...Even we switch the Host.I'm using AMD ATHlon XP1800+,512MB,Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB,WinXP HOme and his is Celeron 800,256,8MB video,Win98.We are using crossed-cable to connect(Means only 2 guys play the game)... Need some suggestion to smooth the playing experience...
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:
