So the issue was the default gateway setting, I have a modem and a router in bridged mode. Then put them back on the router and it still worked, put them on dhcp and didn't work anymore. I connected both pcs directly with a cable and gave them static ip addresses. Search the internet, only to find one post that describes the same issue with another game which I can't remember now.Īny suggestions? I could of course just make him play on an older machine, but because it worked some time ago with Windows 10 I want to try and find out why it won't connect. Have the Windows 10 host and the 98-2K PC connect Using an old executable for the game, one that doesn't have a 'DirectX8 Multiplayer fix' (official by Bioware to fix Multiplayer issues with DX8 and newer) Put Win2k DirectPlay files on his Windows 10 PC
#BALDURS GATE ENHANCED EDITION MULTIPLAYER INSTALL#
Install DX9 June 2010 redistributable on the Windows 10 PC I tried some virtual machines (XP and 7) and they can connect without issue, it's only the Windows 10 PC that can't connect. I also typed in my PC's IP address, this didn't work either.īoth PC's can ping eachother and share files, they're in the same subnet and there are 0 connection issues aside from the game's. In the server browser he can sometimes see my server, but when he clicks 'Join' the game states 'Unable to join game'. I installed it via control panel on his PC. Thats's good, it needs that for multiplayer. Upon trying to start the game Windows 10 states the game needs DirectPlay to initialize. I'm on Windows 98 (or 2000, it's a dualboot and both have the same problem), he's on Windows 10. So, now Windows 10 has had a couple of updates and maybe this is the cause of my problem.

A year ago he joined my server with his Windows 10 PC. Worked perfectly.Ī couple of years ago I played the game on Windows 2000 (hosted) and he played on Windows 8.1 (client).

He was over at my place last week and I used my Windows 98 PC to host and he played on a Windows XP PC. I've been trying to play BG1 with my brother over the network (internal).
