Gamespy – Late - Entry Fix For Insane Before
Altering this file make a Backup With
this easy fix you can allow people to join your games after you start them, people
won't have to IP in the old way. 1. Open
up "C:\Program Files\Gamespy Arcade\Services\full.cfg" in Notepad
or your favorite text editor. 2.
Search for the line "[insane]" 3. Go
down roughly 15 lines below "[insane]" to where it says
"lateentry=0", and change that to "lateentry=1" 4. Now
Save full.cfg and restart Gamespy. 5
optional While
you're in the file, If you
let the game room fill to 8 before launching into game change the line "maxplayers=8" to a higher number,
like "maxplayers=9". This
helps ensure that your room won't fill up, because
if your room is full when you start it people will not be able to late-join
afterwards, even if
some players drop out. Note If you
have the late entry fix and launch your game before it fills then leave it at
maxplayers=8 This
will help prevent game.exe errors. Example If your
room is full with 8 and you
have any watchers when you go back to the in-game lobby it will crash / lock
up. Note. in the
Gamespy Lobby – when a user has the late entry fix. Under the
Room Name Tab the icon will show a green arrow meaning late joining is enabled. To join
just double click the room. Under
the Players Tab only the people in the room lobby at the start will show
here. Late
joiners do not show so be aware If you try to join the room maybe already
full so you
will not be able to join you will return to the main Gamespy Insane lobby. Tip Say
only 1 room is open with late entry and is only showing 2 people in there look to
see how many people are in game by looking at the gamers in the right of the
Chat area you
will see an orange rocket in front of their name. Late Joining by The Buddy List Most of the
time when there is a game open they do not show like they should This means
that you will need to join by the Playspy Buddy List. To get your Buddy List to show You
will see a Green dot
in the top
right of the gamespy window Click it to open. If you have no Buddy’s in your list you will need
to add them Adding
Buddy’s Right click a players name in the Chat window
then select Add To Playspy List. When a room is up and running and any of your
Buddy’s are playing It will show Playing
Insane under their name in your Playspy
List To late join Make sure you have done the Late Join Fix – info
above Now you just have to Click were it says Playing Insane and
you will join. if you do not have the late
join fix then the buddy list join will
not work because you would not be able to click Playing Insane DO-NOT Late-Join
Online Games with add-on Vehicles. Unless
you have been given permission. If your
last online game was with an add-on then it’s safer to switch to a standard
before joining The
person joining will automatically switch to the hosts game mode. you don't
go straight in you are in watching mode Be
sure you ask before You join. |
