So here's the issue. Three computers, two running Windows 7, one running Vista. We can start the game in windowed mode and through that we can host and join games, no problem.
What the problem is that once we start the game, all computers but the host instantly disconnect and all characters are erased. They are replaced with two characters that were allegedly created by my brother and his friend years ago but which they never saved (our discs are too damaged for reinstalls so we spread the game from old computer to new computer via USB).
Anyone have any idea what could be happening here? Is this a port forwarding issue or something?
My friend and brother and I love this game like there's no tomorrow and being able to play it multiplayer again would be incredible so any answers anyone could have would be hugely appreciated
