Now the real misery starts.

[Krenn]

Tried to open the nightsoft site but i get an error message that the site can not be found?  Is there a different site to get the files from?

[Krenn]

OK got it to open think it was a shopnav problem... Now I crash to desktop when I try to join from the multiplayer page I select Dynaverse and go to desktop.  Did i need to type the wonserver file manually?

Hello, I have just stating play SFC:OP after a long break. Anyway, I followed your instructions and  now when I try to play a Gorn Skirmish mission it does not start(I can here the shields come on but see no ships and the control panel does not display, the only thing I can do is hit escape and exit mission). I have also tried other races and it starts up fine(Fed, Klink and a few of the pirates). When I launch one of the Gorn campaigns it starts me with a Klingon ship(disruptors and fighters) is this suppose to be a valid Gorn ship now? Thanks for any help.

Did you install GW4 as recommended above? (Uninstall it- it is a mod for a server that is long over, you'll need to start a new singleplayer campaign)


THIS THREAD SHOULD BE UNSTICKIED -The original post was written by someone who just figured out how to get on the dyna. It tells people to install GW3 and use the Enhancemenet pack without direct links to OP+, missions, EzINI etc... I feared this would happen. Perhaps I will take the time to write up the basics of logging on the D2 (mod free or stock). Then users can play with messing up their game.


Here's the short version (for OP):

1) Clean install from CD
2) Patch to 2552 - 2500-2552 Patch
3) Edit the shortcut to the game as indicated in the 2552 patch readme. (in game install directory)
4) Directory server fix - Dynaverse.Net Client D2 Patch Installer
5) Totally disable all software firewalls and anti-virus software (while playing)
6) Login

Thanks for the info.  I just dug my copies of SFC2 + OP and SFC3 out of "The Box of sh*t."  I am hoping to get back into SFC but I haven't played for years.  I look forward to seeing some of you on the Dynaverse!
