c4n -> Vista: game works fine but MP doesn't detect my IP (3/23/2008 5:45:04 PM)
|
Hi, I have a kind of strange issue here. I'm running Vista (SP1) and the game works fine in the Win 98/Me compatibility mode, no problems here. My problem is that when I try to run MultiPlayer the game doesn't detect my IP address (it's not shown there) and the "Internet TCP/IP" button is disabled (see attached file). It's not a firewall issue because a) I disabled the software one and b) it works fine if I run the game in XP insted of Vista The thing is if I reboot the PC in Safe mode with Networking it works fine and the IP is detected (but I can't play like that as there is no way to enable sound in safe mode)! So I guessed some application/service is causing problems, so I rebooted in diagnostic mode and disabled all startup applications and every service that isn't needed (all these are loaded in the safe mode as well) and no luck. Anyone has any ideas?
