Hello there.
I am trying to play Call of Juarez bound in blood (PC version) with my brother over the LAN option in multiplayer.
If one of us tries to host a game everything goes normally. He proceeds to character selection and can even run around if we set min. number of players to 1.
The connecting player however (switching roles yields the same results) is put on a loading screen for a very long time. we usually wait 3-5 mins before the hosting player quits and then the connecting player gets a notice prompt.
For the connecting player, the "loading" text at the bottom right dissapears after a short amount of time and a "please wait" text appears near the middle, and it stays in this state for apparently an indeterminate time.
We think the issue is not with the loading of the level itself, but with the final stages of connection between host and player.
Is it normal that the connecting player takes a lot of time to join? Am I just being impatient and will the game eventually start? Is there a known issue with the connection to LAN multiplayer that can make a certain process halt, loop, or otherwise make sure you are stuck on that loading screen?
Call of Juarez is on the allowed programs list for windows firewall.
I have not made a call of juarez internet account yet. (I do not know the specific term, but I have never used the normal internet version of the multiplayer)
Thank you for your time.
