I am going to sound like a total retard by admitting this, but, I have copied the save files into every multiplayer save directory that I could find in the SR2020 directory. Then I even copied the MP save folder into mydocuments/mygames/... and still the game will not show up on the MP list. The only thing I see is "Waiting...."

Did you try hitting "host game" ?

Hhahahahahah, okay, you need to host a game.Bottom right button at that window i think.Then once youve declared yourself as hosting, you get to pick what game your gonna host.At that point look in the save game tab, and pick the save to play.Then pick the region you want to play,then start it.

If your going to delete they units in reserve,make sure you let the clock run at least one tick afterwards, then save the game.

Then start that save as the region you want to be playing in single player, let it run for a click,then save it.

Then move that last mulit save into the single player save folder, and load it in single player.And continue on as normal.

That first part has confused alot of people for some reason.

I must have the folder structure screwed up or something else as I have hit the Host Game selection and its looking for "Available Local Games" and all it shows its the "Waiting...." button. I can not believe that this is kicking my butt! |O

When you press the "Host Game" button at the bottom right of the screen it takes you to a lobby that looks like the single player scenario/campaign selection screen. If it's stuck there alt-tab to see if Windows security is holding it up.

I did this and there were no security alerts showing. When I select MP game, the window underneath "Available Local Games" continuously shows "Waiting .... (the dots are flashing)". When I select "Host Game" the "Waiting" word remains showing but the dots go away. I have no idea what the issue might be - something ridiculously simple I am sure.

From that point it should only take a few seconds to move to the next screen.

Do you have a really slow machine ?

This could be caused by a problem in your networking settings on your machine.

have you been able to play any other games in multiplayer on that system?

I do not have time for MP games, so that answer is no. What system options can I check? I appreciate your help.

no clue. If it's a problem beyond the game I'm at a bit of a loss without being in front of the system to start troubleshooting.

Just thought I would drop this here. Same bug, but I find this one fun. All engineers, and this is wave #3. Good job I keep fortified positions where ever I conquer. :lol:

Any chance of a save just before that hex changed hands?

Sorry I don't. I thought the autosave might have grabbed it before hand, but it was quite a bit before.
