Hi!... I installed the itp (upgrades available for the TIEs) and it causes communications problems during online games. Is this a known issue?. I'm using the correct resolution for the patch i have, but i don't understand why this is happening.<P>thanks for your help.

unless everybody in the game has the same exact patches as you installed there will indeed be problems, mainly due to new models having different hitzones than the original TG models. I do believe this is in the FAQ though with slightly different wording...<P>[EDIT] Read <A HREF="http://www.xwaupgrade.com/faq.htm#3c" TARGET=_blank>THIS</A> Image[/EDIT]<p>[This message has been edited by Admiral Alistair (edited 12 February 2002).]

AFAIK, you have to make sure that the guy you're playing against has the same upgrades as you have, or you're asking for errors. If both of you have the same upgrades installed, I wouldn't know what the problem is.

having the same patch version means that all players must use the same resolution too?
