hi there, is there any possibility to continue in saved lan game with other players on LAN?

how to get back to the game? when i use save and load, i am alone in the game. the game time to times crashes, so i need to get back with other players.

I think, you'd have to go .....

get in contact with the other players, and get them to know your IP address ....
you could set this up within BBGC, but not run it from within BBGC. you'd quit from BBGC, and then go back to Siv cd game load screen.

load a LAN MAP game, and wait for them to connect to you, then continue .
(?) sound good ?

a saved lan-game can only be continued by the "original" players

hmm... i dont know what you just said with all the
BBGC thingys and all. =P i dont know much about computers or english. x_x so there is no easy way of loading a saved multiplayer game and continueing it with the other players? ive tried playing Settlers 4 in lan with my bro and we havent finished a single game cause it likes to crash alot. =( ...and we cant even load the saved game. =(

Have you and your brother both got the latest update for Settlers4,if not theres a link at the top of the forum.

When you play LAN games especially when adding the AI (PC players) the game will desynch alot,there is no cure for this,its best to save often,but not when the game has started to desynch.

BBGC means BlueByte Game Channel its where the players meet to play online games via the server.

To load a saved game select it in your menu,give the players the IP as you do when you create a game,if your alone in the game,it could be that they didnt get the save.
