Loading Characters [LAN]

[eqgolemar]

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
Me and a buddy of mine are currently having toruble loading characters in our lan games at the moment, allow me to tell you what it does:

I/he will make a game, but only the hosting character can load their characters from our single player saved game files. (1 person wil have their character form a previous game but the other will have to start at lvl 1) The actual button to load the characters from a saved game file, isnt on the person's screen who joined the game channel.

I was wondering if it is at all possible for each of us have our own individual characters and adventure together. I dont really want to play the same character

Any help with this issue would be appreciated :)

I play LAN all the time but we don't use our single player characters, we use characters we created specifically for LAN. Try that.

I am familiar with this because I haven't actually played the game single player. All I have done is LAN play with one other person.

Here's the question I have...

What "load character" button are you clicking?

Because there's only one button to load a character, and that's normally used to load a fresh character. If you both want to load the characters you left off with, you first host the game, then load the save game. You will see your two characters listed on the right hand menu. Your friend then joins the game.

Now, you click on your character name (the actual words in the right hand menu, two columns to the right of your user name.. there is no button) and the name moves from the right hand menu to the left hand menu next to your player name. Friend clicks his character name, both click ready, you click to start game.

Don't feel bad, I started over like three times with my roommate before figuring out that the names were clickable and no one needed to use the load character button.
