I'm getting the "new computer" bug that makes people move too slowly. The workaround for this is loading any sort of MP game first. Fine. Tiresome, but fine. Unfortunately I can't seem to manage doing that without freezing H&D2. Any time I try to join a server, I get a connecting dialogue. I never can connect. If I try to cancel, the game freezes.
I thought, maybe hosting a game will fix the walking bug. Well, I can't host a server either, because clicking that button freezes the game. I have to force it closed with task manager. In fact if I was not running a window, I would have to reboot every time. For some reason the video can't get through in that case.
I don't imagine GameSpy is any help, because I assume I have to not exit the game before starting single player.
I have forwarded ports 1004, 11001, 11002, 11003, and 11004 on the router. Added H&D2 to Windows firewall. Running 1.12 with Windows XP SP3. I just want to play SP...
