A friend of mine was over at my place the other day, we've played RTW online a couple of times but was finally looking forward to some flawless LAN playing.
Atleast we thought it would be flawless over a 100mbit LAN connection!
We played a map where i attacked and he defended a city. I used two siege towers and a ram. Battle commenced and he succeded in taking out the ram.
Both siegetowers got to the wall ok though, and i got my troops up to the wall on both sides of the gate.
I took the gate and went ahead into the town, somewhere around here i called out "Hey, you're done for" or something like that "I'm inside now!".
"Huh?" i heard him say. "Not on my screen".
I ran over to his computer and had a look, yup on his screen i wasn't at all inside the city. In fact he had managed to take out one of my siege towers before it reached the wall! I never managed to take the gate, and he had poured lots of oil over my troops standing in a mess in front of the gate trying to get in.
We never finished the game, i wonder what would've happened if i had taken the square on my screen and he had finished of my troops on his?
Who would've won?
We tried another game, this time out on the countryside without any settlement, and it worked better but not very good really.
One more try with a city (after having restarted both computers) showed that the first time wasn't a fluke.
What's going on here? RTW doesn't play that good over internet, but i was pretty sure it would be alright over LAN!
Any ideas? Is there some settings that could be tweaked, a fix, something to solve this?
