Does anyone know of any conflicts between Supremacy ( UK version ) and Rebellion which the rest of the world has got??? I have tried linking up with Lord Vader several times and always get the message '*.dat files are incompatable..etc'. We have both tried version 1.0 and 1.01, cleared out our save files ( ie clean start ), but nothing seems to work.

 

I also tried to link up with Xeqtr, and had the same problem. Both players have Rebellion while I have Supremacy. I thought the only difference between the two platforms was packaging, but this does not appear to be the case.

 

If this is the problem, has anyone out there got a spare copy of Rebellion I can purchase? Please help a poor megalomaniacal Empire player with several Star systems to support.

Supremacy and Rebellion are the same. Assuming a clean install and then the 1.01 patch, both should work just fine.

 

If you've edited the game, I recommend using RebED's Save Setting feature to transfer the edits to the other player. RebED does not allow you to cheat.

Neither of us have edited the game, I don't even have RebEd installed (have used it before though).

Also, Gamespy does not support version 1.01.

 

So if you have Supremacy vs Rebellion, you cannot use Gamespy but will have to link up using msnm or IP.

Yes thats right......Gamespy picks up Rebellion but not Supremacy

 

HELP

Have since found out that you need a clean install of Rebellion. By unistalling Reb Ed and Reinstalling Rebellion I have at last been able to link up and start a great game with Lord Vader

Thus I stress the point of this thread:

good stuff imperator, sry i couldn't stick around and play the other night .. i was just to tired. But i hope u had a good game with vader.

I certainly am!!! Looking forward to a game with you XeqtR too!!

 

In reply to Evader99:-

I thought if you reset Reb Ed to its default settings it 'wiped' the game clean as if you were back to the games original settings. I am still getting used to RebEd...... there was NO intention of cheating my opponent.

I wasn't naming anyone in particular. Just making sure that point is noted for anyone who wants to use RebED multiplayer. Keep things honest and have a good game.

 

Actually, even RebED's Restore may not work too well. To get a full clean Rebellion, use the Partial Installer to copy all the files from the CD.

 

Hope that helps you guys out!

Thanks Evader99 for your help. I should have read your note vis the RebEd problem more closely instead of pressing every available button that came to hand!!!!!!

 

I've got Rebellion running fine now and have some great games going with opponents over the Internet. The game really does come into its own against a human opponent.

 

Who knows, perhaps one day you will offer your sword to my Emperor in a match??!!!
