Re: [Audyssey] top speed 2 issues: was: Top Speed 2 multiplayer troubleshooting
Hey, Yeah, there are some problems with the start menu folder. We advice to uninstall older versions of the game and delete all the folders, and then install the new version. The server selector isn't included in the game, but we've talked about that before. - Regards, Leonard de Ruijter e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On maandag 1 december 2008, at 20:41:16, wrote Dakotah: > Here's the tricky bit.

Re: [Audyssey] top speed 2 issues: was: Top Speed 2 multiplayer troubleshooting
Here's the tricky bit. The start menu folders for both top speed 2 and top speed 2.1 are called top speed 2. If you want to fix the problem, try reinstalling and changing the program group to top speed 2.1 or something. This will fix all issues with shortcuts.

Re: [Audyssey] top speed 2 issues: was: Top Speed 2 multiplayer troubleshooting
Hi, no matter what the confusion with reinstalling and upgrading and disappearing start menu folders is, you can easily set the server to connect to,even without the X-Sight-Interactive TS2 Utility Pack. Just open the topspeed.cfg file in the folder where the game is installed, and move to the last line of the file containing text, it's the second most bottom one. There, type the ip or hostname of the server right behind the "multiplayer=" string. Sorry for accidentally sending this message to the list before it was complete.
