You don't actually have to purchase the game to play with us online.......all you have to do is "acquire" it (I'd suggest Skidrow)...and then just patch up the game to 1.4 using google searches etc......

If you do that you can pretty much join us online......

It's not the simple.

After DLing the game you need Winrar to extract it, then a disk emulator (download Daemon Tools Lite) and mount the bin file.

You can only play online through direct ip connections, not metaserver.

Tbh I thought that stuff was assumed.

What's the difference.

Basically it allows you to pub with other players you don't know.

Also, apparently some people are (COUGH BAD DOG COUGH) unaware of what winrar and disk emulators are.

Also give a link to where you patched to v1.4

I have the game and it is patched, also what Potshot is talking about is mainly at my dumb ass -_- (*COUGH*SublteAsAFlyingBrick*COUGH*)

If the game is as much of a hastle as it was for me to "aquire" it, prepare to lol @ my failure.

I searched a private site, found what I was looking to acquire and profited.

I wasn't really sure if I had to do this...but I downloaded patch 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4.

Considering the similar (and increasing) size of each patch I'd guess that you could just download 1.4 and it'd patch up fine.
