Let me start off by saying that I have close to 1000 hours in this game, it is by a gigantic margin my favorite game of all time. However, if you intend to play multiplayer, this game only has peer to peer multiplayer in which you have to port forward and connect to specific IPs to play with your friends. On steam, you can simply join your friends and have your friends join you as the developers created a tool on steam for easily playing with multiplayer. If you plan on playing multiplayer at all, I recommend the steam version for its ease of use. However, this version is DRM free and if you would rather that route with its harder multiplayer, more power to you.
When I start the game up it just shows it loading everything up on a dos prompt and then shows a black screen and if i touch any of the keys it goes back to windows. Please help because I love this game and I want to get back to playing it again.
