While it may not be directly related to this place, Gamespy is the only thing keeping me from getting online with SFC2! I downloaded it, set up an account and then....nothing. The startpage for it keeps asking me to put my email into it to validate it. I did this, and then it didn't find my profile.

I've set up about 4 profiles now - none of them work with my AOL email or Hotmail email. This is a right bugger - I'm so close to finally getting online with this thing, and now this swine slaps me in the face. Please help

Hmm, I'll put this into simple terms -

How on earth do you play on an online campaign with SFC2? I downloaded the latest patch, got Gamespy...uh, what now?

TalonClaw · « **Reply #2 on:** April 24, 2004, 07:19:16 pm »

Don't log on to gamespy. Go into the game and go into multiplayer and pick dynaverse. Before you do ,make sure you are properly patched to the right version.

Hmm, righto Bilko. The option 'Dynaverse' should be there?

Oh...

.....must....

.....keep....

....trying...

What version shows up in the bottom right of the title page when you start up SFC2 (assuming EAW and not OP)?

frazzle · « **Reply #5 on:** April 26, 2004, 05:11:37 am »

2002 mate, but I definatley got the latest (and final patch) for it, and it works. Hmm, let's see....

-I'm connected to the internet, what now?

I hate to bring you down and all, but you have not patched up correctly. If you patched correctly then the new version (2.0.3.6) would be displayed.

Once you have patched correctly the Dynaverse will be accessible.

He is right you have the wrong patch it is outdated if you want the new one don't down load ir until you have unistalled the game and delete the game folder.Then reinstall the game say no to both direct x and gamespy.When you have installed the game you can download 2036 from www.sfcx.org and look for DL when SFC2 coome up click on it and you see a the DL for 2036 down load from the right country eg.2036US.You do not need a membership there to DL I hope all this helps.Your Welcome

Cheers. I suppose I'll have to goodbye to the USS Stardust....

R.I.P Stardust, Gastrian, Custer's Army and Cubed3

Man, this had better work.

We all learn the hard way I had to to but in the end it is well worth it you could always get Stardust back agian if it is modded ship just redo it agian.I hope you used the link I provided for you .

*Sigh* Yes, I used the link, downloaded 2036 server thingy (the one at the top of the list), but I can't figure out what to do now. The game didn't update itself like it's done before, and I've waited an hour for this download, much to the annoyment of my family.....the folder was zipped, so I unzipped it, but wha-?

This is really frustrating, I don't have a clue and all I want to do is get the friggin' thing online once and for all. Why can't I get onto Dynaverse 2?!?

I'm sorry if I sound hostile, but I am literal banging my head off the desk here

TalonClaw · « **Reply #11 on:** April 27, 2004, 11:10:46 am »

You say you downloaded the server thingy? Why? That's only if you want to host a server. What you need is the 2036 patch for SFC2.

Aw crap. I'm assuming that I will have to uninstall the game (again), re-install it (again) and then download something that will take absolutely aaaaaaaages to load? Okie dokie. Man, and I'll have to get rid of that patch I got for the server....

hmm, and to make sure it works, it will display 2036 in the bottom right hand of the loading screen? And in multiplayer, it should have a seperate Dynaverse option?

Look, before I do it (and here's hoping that it works), I want to thank you all for having the patience and diligence to try and help me

I won't forget it, I owe you some amount of favours already

frazzle · « **Reply #14 on:** April 27, 2004, 01:15:27 pm »

I live in the UK - so I guess that's where I mucked up. Hmm, so I better not download that US one....

Right *thinks really hard*, if I get this patch, will it display 2036 on the loading screen, and allow me to get onto Dynaverse 2 through the multiplayer menu?

No, wait! I'll ask them! D'uh! Obvious answer!

Age · « **Reply #15 on:** April 27, 2004, 02:01:26 pm »

Ok.You will need the 2036 UK version and get is just a DL loading manager especially if you are doing big DL it doesn't matter whether you are on high speed or dial up it is good tool to have.What are you trying to do play EAW in D2 you can but there won't be many in there as everyone now in useing OP and that is the standard game in D2 not EAW you can still get a copy of OP there is a sticky in posted bt TostyO I believe.
I know this frustrating but that you got the wrong patch now you will have reinstall everthing after realizing that you now have the wrong game for D2.It is just learning exprience don't be hard on yourself or get angry just except that you are new to all of this and be patient.I would suspect you are young you have lots of time to do all of this it is not like the world is going to end tommorow.I hope you aren't getting angry at me to as I am helping you out here.I had to do this several times but I did have all STC series 1,vol.2EAW,vol.2OP and 3. I hope this relly helps you out.
BTW I do not yet play in D2 as I am on a shared ISP and at times I have get off so theres my reason for nor being in D2.I am looking at getting my own but I have get the lines checked where I live.

frazzle · « **Reply #16 on:** April 27, 2004, 03:04:12 pm »

No, don't worry, I'm not angry at anyone for helping

But, OP? Is that Orion Pirates? Um, please explain, since I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'm halfway through downloading the UK 2036 patch for SFC2 EAW, but I should still be able to play it online just through the multiplayer option in the game? Is there any additional requirements I need to know about?

I feel a lot better after smashing level 9 oppenents in Super Smash Bros. Melee for half an hour...damn...this PC has swallowed my GC time.

frazzle · « **Reply #18 on:** April 27, 2004, 03:40:56 pm »

Thank you very much. In fact, the dowload has just finished

Sooo, the moment of truth. A clean install of SFC2 and the patch is ready to go....this had so better work, or else you'll have me annoying you all forever more

Oh, and I got the sledgehammer ready as well.

I know this seems like alot frazzle. Hang in there buddy. Once you get it all set up right, it is loads of fun.
