Guest blah! Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 Hi! I bought this game when it first came out and absolutely loved it...however, I quit playing it. But I'm back! The thing is, I never set foot in the multiplayer section of the game...for some reason I could not get the multiplayer working with Microsoft gaming zone. So I thought I would give it a shot since it seems that you guys got it working. So whats the deal here...clans? tournaments? ladder? good community? How do I get to play on a server? Are all the servers private? Any information would be greatly obliged. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blah! Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 I see some resemblence of clans here...how many clans are there and whos considered the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNIGHT_FEDAYKIN Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 well, to play a game you just go onto the MSN Gaming Zone, go into the XWA room then choose a game to play in. You can set privacy and stuff from there. There are many clans of varied size and ability. take a look at <a href="http://www.battlestats.com">Battlestats</a> to see quite a few of them. You can see stats from wars and upcoming events on there too. ------------------ There are things i can do, i can walk, i can sleep. But i will not put numbers in words!

Guest Wedgey Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 I've been having problems getting XWA to run properly from the Zone. Each time someone launches the game, it loads up and then just dumps me at the concourse screen instead of connecting me. I've never played XWA multiplayer so I don't know what's supposed to happen. Anyone know whats wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNIGHT_FEDAYKIN Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 have you set your XWA Multiplayer settings to be the same as the single player ones? Usually if it dumps you out its because the graphics hardware is set up wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blah! Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 i was a little lost on the battlestats web page...where do i look for the clan listings? there arent any mods for this game are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNIGHT_FEDAYKIN Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 to find the clans, go to the left of the page where it says "Clubs" then click "View" underneath it. I dont know if you can get a full list but i assume you can. Also if you goto <a href="http://www.battlestats.com/games/xwa">http://www.battlestats.com/games/xwa</a> you can see the Club and Player hall of fame.

K_Kinnison Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 mostly you should look in the zone and see who is around. there are several types of groups There are the cherry pickers, groups that only take in good pilots Newbie groups: Groups that are usualyl founded by one person, and everything is based on thier Egos IP groups, jsut a group of people that play via IP, not very exciting Compition groups: allways competing against others, and them selves. Zone groups, groups that normally play on thje zone, and chat, or play, but allways do more then ust play the game. You really need to search around. If you ahve an idea on what kinda group that you want to join tell me, and i will suggest a few good groups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wedgey Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 I copyed my single player settings into the mp settings so it isn't that. I've got the no-CD crack on so I'll take that off and see if it helps. ------------ I reinstalled, put the 2.02 patch back on, made sure I had the same SP/MP settings and it did exactly the same thing [This message has been edited by Wedgey (edited July 11, 2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNIGHT_FEDAYKIN Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 try turning all the graphics settings right down. Actually, is this while playing online? can you play multiplayer offline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blah! Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 well i would of course like to be considered as a good pilot and be in a group with good pilots...i would also like to be in a good competing group...do they have individual web sites?

Guest RAF_Corran Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 Hi! so you want a clan to join well goto RAF clan it is small but that means you well be a Captain right of. You can be in command of a Squadron of fights too. goto Http://rebelattackforce.hypermart.net ------------------ General Corran Horn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wedgey Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 I can play skirmishes offline if thats what you mean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Kinnison Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 Blah! jsut to warn you, a group that ask you to cammand a squadron is a newbie group (no offense to corran) may i suggest you join a fully functional group before you decide. Probly one of the better competitive groups out there for XWA is RSF or UPA both are big groups with over 100 members, and have a wel orginized system, and website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNIGHT_FEDAYKIN Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 heh, most of UPA are newbies. If you are a good pilot join <a href="http://omega.clanpages.com">Omega</a>.

Guest blah! Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 heres the deal...the first and only multiplayer game i have ever played is 'the wheel of time'...truly a kick ass game...the multiplayer section of the game is much like ultima and quake in which you log onto the internet and a list of servers that are available to play on appears in a window in the game...it also list the how many players are on a server and what the players names are...very simple and lots of fun...i take it that this isnt quite the same? follow me?

KNIGHT_FEDAYKIN Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 i play quake 3 quite often so i know how you mean. I suppose you could get somekind of tool to do that, i dont know if GameSpy supports XWA though. This is basically what MSN Zone is anyway though. Except that it is easier for you to host aswell. To host all you need is what you have already (a comp, xwa and a net connection). I have had xwa kick me out to windows or to concourse an useally just trying again works. Go through with me what happens when you try to enter a game on the zone. You go into the room, the host launches, then what? do you get to the area to select ships? where you can talk to other players? if not it could be a connection problem, try playing someone with a green connection. If you do get this far, tell me what happens afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wedgey Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 All that happens is that the host launches the game, XWA loads, and there's the concourse screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
