I tought LoMO could only be played multiplayer by using ethernet, and not internet? Or have I missed something very critical? :roll: :lol:

You can either arrange games via gamespy, or you can make/join them directly ingame by clicking a simple button.(see attachment below)


I can play Loco multiplayer if someone just wants and isn't too far away from me and has good connection.

Well, atleast Loco does auto-resync your games instead of just quitting them. :roll:

Either your co-player had very slow computer & connection that couldn't keep up, or it was a problem on your end.

If you are who start the sesion, the other player needs to know your IP to connect to session.

Maybe you haven't installed some patches... That way you both have other versions... When I wanted to play it online, I also had to install a patch...
