Jeff Gilbert Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 Quick question ... I hope. I have had success in playing TacOps over my LAN in Mac to Mac play but I have been unsuccessful in getting Mac to PC to go. The PC starts up fine but the Mac keeps timing out looking for enemy commander. This leads to 2 questions: 1 - Is Mac to PC network play supported? 2 - If it is, did I miss any settings? I am using a TCI/IP network 10/100 fully switched and all in the same domain. Thanks in advance for any assistance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorH TacOps Developer Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 TacOps v3.x and earler does not support Mac vs PC networked games. In those versions the Mac used an Appletalk network approach and the PC used a shared folder Windows network approach. You can however start your Mac vs PC game session in PBEM mode and then manually exchange the saved orders files between the Mac and the PC by floppy disk. TacOps v4 will support Mac vs PC games by LAN and or Internet using TCP/IP. [ 11-19-2001: Message edited by: MajorH ]</p> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Gilbert Posted November 20, 2001 Author Share Posted November 20, 2001 Thanks for the reply. I will wait for TacOps4 to do the LAN play. Somehow, the idea of carrying a disk between two rooms in my house to play the game seems a bit odd. I will bide my time and continue to look forward to TacOps4. Thanks, Jeff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
