We find each other with commit(using ver 1.4, blood ver. 1.11) but everytime short before the game should be starting, it locks up with the msg: "waiting for network players" after "initializing sound system".
If that problem ist well known to you, please help us.
Hi,

yes im getting this problem too... anyone? I never used to have this problem...
Try taking out the internet cable from both pcs (or from router if you got a box), then disabling both firewalls.

How does commit 1.4 support TCP/IP??? my 1.4 used IPX so i disabled that thinking it would default to TCP but didnt and crashed. Could you elaborate on this please?
Check this out.

That file in the posted link should work. It did for me. Firewalls should not interfere with COMMIT communication, but it may be necessary to disable security programs, or allow COMMIT.EXE or BLOOD.EXE internet access through their security screens.

"OK,

I tested this on my lan tonight and it works fine,

just get Blood to work in XP using the BuildXP page
http://www.deathmask.net/buildxp/

then change the Blood.vlp to point to setup.exe instead of blood.exe,,

TA DA!!! Blood multiplayer in XP....

Very Important:::: Make sure you have loaded the IPX protocol on your network connection in XP or it wont work[/url]"

This works PERFECTLY and runs PERFECTLY! :)
