You could also try turning off the animated backgrounds.

That was my first idea, too, but actually you don't have any animated backgrounds when you are connecting to a network server, I think. But I always have them off, anyway... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Yeah, turning them off was one of the first things I did long ago, after first installing ... hey, I'm coming up on one year really soon! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

I can't remember where they show up either, but it was the only thing I can think of. On my 'dead' clients I've perma-connected to the server, all I see is a blank black screen.

Wait, I remember, I think you see those lights, some kind of star field, when you don't have animated backgrounds off...

It's really trippy. I have been hypnotized by them several times.

Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
 

Just to clarify, you are not keeping them open once you connect, correct? You only need to open the extra clients long enough for it to prompt you for your pretender's password. Then you can close the other client(s). I've never had to launch more than one extra client, guess I am lucky http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif.

Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
 

yeah, i was leaving them open in the background, and I also had animated backgrounds turned on, so the combination of the two probably caused the overheating.
