Hi all,
Just started playing in my house. I have a wireless network and 2 laptops. Trying to play the game together. I have seen other posts indicating that people have had problems getting the game to work over a LAN. We are having similar problems. In fact one of our PCs starts getting jerky as soon as you enter the multiplayer menu and the message box shows that the network is ready. So jerky we have a tough time getting the cursor over to the cancel button. It seems to work fine single player. We have a Linksys wireless G network. I have played several other games via our current network setup, so I know that it works as intended. Has anyone else seen a massive slow down or jittery reaction when going to the multiplayer menu. We even tried changing over the default settings to reduce the video and audio settings. Any help would be great.

Have you patched the game to 1.1 yet? I've only tried LAN with one other person and it seemed ok in the 2 hours we played. I'm not sure how it is with 3 or more people.

One thing I do wish is that they would somehow autosplit all the loot between all cooperative players.

Yes, we updated the game to 1.1. We are only trying to play with two people. Only one machine is having the jittery problem.

If you need help finding your machine specs

1. Hit Start, then go to run
2. type dxdiag and click ok

This will tell you pretty much everything about your system, including on the display page, your video card, the date of your video card drivers (which may need to be updated).
