WTFH whenever I try to start a game of SS2 it says ERROR: Direct 3D device driver does not accurately report memory usage. Contact your 3d accelerator vendor for updates. I have a 6800 GT, is taht the problem?
 
The game's too old, try running it in compatability mode...
 
I've got a 6800 Ultra and i can run the game fine with XP
 
I got it working, I had to add something to some file. Does the whole game take place on this ship? I keep getting my ass kicked, I went Marine.
 
There's parts in other locations later on.

Also, the classes don't really make that much difference in the long run.

Ok, I am going to play this co-op with my brother on the same network, it is possible right?
 
System Shock 2 is abandonware now by the way, you can download it legally free :)
 
I can't make a ****ing multiplayer game. I am using this hamachi program too so it should work. What do I need to do to get this to work?

Have it patched with the latest version (which you probably have if you have the multiplayer menu). Know the ip addresses of your server machine... pray (My friends managed to crash our game by jumping through the bulkheads too much.). Also, the first section isn't multiplayer - the skill selection bit is played solo. Though you can talk to other players, they're not physically there.
 
Ah god these forums are slow today. Anything else I still cant get it to work.
 
****, nothing ****ing works. This makes no ****ing sense at all, why isn't it working? I have tried everything, it is like the game doesn't know how to connect.
 
Dang - I've been hearing good things about System Shock 2 and was hoping you'd shed a little light on that. That's a tough fix, especially for a game that old. Is the game not working or just the multiplayer?

The game is working fine I just can't connect to my brothers game and he cant connect to mine. He started 2 copies of the game and he could have 1 copy connect to the other but that is as close as we have been.

Any idea where? I've wanted to play this forever, just never got around to picking it up
 
Hm, just found this.

But isn't abandonware illegal?
Unfortunately, yes. Despite the fact that publishers no longer derive revenues from these games since they have stopped selling them (and any revenues from retailers that still sell them were gained a long time ago, at the time of sales), it is illegal to distribute them so long as copyright holders have not released them into the public domain, and 95 years after the games' release have not elapsed.

I'd still like to know where I could get it though ;)

okay have you checked what settings you need for the game IE if it needs IPX networking, And your firewall settings?

I can't find any info anywhere about this game, so I have just tried everything. I had some program found out what ports it uses, and I enabled all of them.
 
Anyone want to play this online? Or just host a server for my brother and me to play on?
 
I want System Shock 3 !!

Too bad we'll probably never see it ;(
 
SS2 Multi require the following ports to be opened
* UDP ports 2300 through 2400
* TCP ports 2300 through 2400
* TCP port 47624
* UDP port 47624
* UDP ports 28800 through 28900


After that just host a game, if you are on LAN, you can use aim to get your computer's IP. You can do this by opening an instant message window>right click>insert>IP Address. It should be 192.168.0.10X, where X should be a number from 0-9 depending on how many computers are connected to LAN. If you need an actual IP address, use www.whatismyip.com

I tried that already :(
 
That's quite odd foxtrot. I play SS2 online often actually, and I've never had a problem save for one time when I was behind my firewall.

I am behind a router :(
 
I am going to try a crossover cable, that should work right? I have to make it first though.
 
I tried playing that game, and I hate to say it, but the graphics were just too bad for me to stand it.
 
I tried a crossover cable, still didn't work. POS game.

Ever.

I just spent a day trying to get the multiplayer to work, its multiplayer is a POS...oh and its graphics are a POS.
 
But the game is still far superior then almost every other game ever made.

Save Deus Ex and Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, its pretty much the best game ever.
