Hey guys, i've been trying to set up an online game with a mate for a while now and we just can't get it working.

I've followed the instructions you have on here to a tee, but always come unstuck at one particular part.

Once i've set up the game and my mate tries to join he enters in my IP. What should happen is he goes into the "game status" screen and can then create a profile. What does happen though is the ball comes on the mouse (as if it's loading) and it just stayes like that, untill eventually he quits.

We've tried it both ways (such as him creating the game and me trying to join) but the same thing happens. By the way we use Hamachi and have tried turning all firewalls off etc

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks for the reply mate

We read through that but didn't really understand it

We're still having trouble with the whole loading bit. It just loades and never actually goes though to the "game status"

Anybody know what it might be?

once again any help much appreciated

m8 read up onnit its most prob wats wrong,also do yas have same version of game?

Harry Kewell

Sorry bout the late reply.. for some reason this site goes really slow for me.

Anyway yeh i dont think thats the problem because we don't have wireless connections.

I've got the patched version but when i create a new game i just put it to 8.00, so i'm assuming it should work? On his it says 8.0 though (instead of 8.0.0) could that be a problem?

Cheers

i think you need the 8.01 patch to play a network game i may be wrong

you both need to have the EXACT same patch so get your mate on the patch and it should work :P
