I love this game and I am extremely appreciative of the hard work that went in to bringing it back into daylight. Rescuing this game from its insane legal limbo was itself a heroic victory worthy of our endless praise and song. Then you add improved graphics, sound, etc.? Amazing.

BUT 4-PLAYER CO-OP IS BROKEN.

From my wishlist item description: "Per many forum discussions, the GOG version of SS2 has non-functional 4-player co-op. When a 4th player attempts to join a game (with 3 already registered), another player gets kicked out, ad infinitum. Please fix! Remember Citadel!"

Let me reiterate: I am SO thankful for this game finally being re-released! But 4-player co-op is broken, even while the GOG game card continues to say that we can "play the story with up to three friends in the co-op multiplayer mode." If at all possible, this should be fixed.

In my own 4-player experience, we ended up building Windows 98 machines to play the game on. Multiplayer was that delicate. It just wasn't ready for prime-time when it was first released, it had some funny hooks in DirectX 6 or 8 (can't remember which) that didn't play nice on newer versions... It won't be easy to resolve. But please try! Please respect the will of the many. The Glory of The Many demands 4-player co-op.

Co-op isn't getting fixed, unless whoever is behind the NewDark patch decides to fix it. GOG and Night Dive have absolutely no control over this.

won't happen Co-op's been broken since the patch that added it to the game first came out and without access to the source code for it it will continue to remain broken.

That's assuming New Dark didn't come from Night Dive. Becasue even if it did, they probably couldn't admit it (source code manipulation without owning it is illegal and they only have right to publish game from what I read).

there is still a chance (if slight) that le Corbeau (whether he is part of night dive or not) might be browsing around, so wishlists of this sort are not completely pointless - one can always hope.

one way or another, even being the pessimist that I am, I've added my vote.

They do really need to reword the "4 Player Co Op" part on the store page, considering it doesn't work at all.

Edit: Scratch that, they changed it on the store page.

I can't get 2 player coop to work. Help?
