5 posts by 4 people · 19 Feb 1998 - 22 Feb 1998

A newbie question: If I want to run F1RS on a 2PC's LAN do I have to buy two copies of the CD ? Thanks ! A.S. Brussels

Yes, you should buy two cd's, you're running two copies of the program at one time....... Craig Marcho

No. But it requires swapping the CD back & forth between connected machines until you get the race started (fortunately once the race commences everything is ok).

Craig, This is certainly (thankfully) not the view taken by many manufacturers producing games with both single & multiplier modes. Lucas arts even prints in the manuals of recent titles how many players can play jointly before another disc need be purchased. Q2 although needing the disc for single player mode allows multiple players to connect for multiplier mode without additional discs. F1GP2 & F1RS both take the approach of allowing you to start a multiplier session provided you have at least one disc that can be passed from machine to machine during the race start process. etc. etc. Regards DM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- To reply please remove < .nospam > from my e-mail address ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- "Error, no keyboard - press F1 to continue." - PC Bios Message Joe User wrote ... ?
