hi everyone,

I had succesfully installed the game, but when i try to run it, a box shows, telling me that the
(step 1) loopback interface isn't working and that i have to check my network configuration. I've installed Microsoft Loopback Adapter, then restarted machine. After that, the game actualy worked, but....

i had chosen a single player mode and started ... i were waiting some time and then another box poped up... msg: waiting for other player to join (or sth like that)... and counting time: 260, 259, ... (to developers:have you really made a single player mode thru network adapter)... I didn't want to wait that long, and I closed the connection. Next time i was trying to start a single player or anything else, there was msg like: could not make connection to host...
I restarted the game and GOTO step1..



someone please take me out of this endless loop... I really want to play this game...
by the way, it is demo version of the game.... my OS Windows XP...
sorry for bad english
tnx

hmm never heard about that happening before... hopefully the devs can help you out

In reality a loopback device has nothing to do with the network. It is just a way to communicate internally with the program itself as you would with the network. We do this so there is no difference on the code regardless if it is a singleplayer or multi player game. All windows installations should have a loopback interface by default. There is no need to install anything extra or do any special setup. I suspect that either your system has some kind of error, or you have a very aggressive firewall that is somehow interfering.
