Yes, they can do this. But both players must play under the same user name on the same computer for it to work. Probably also under the same IP address, though I am not sure on this Last point. You do not ever have to delete any files for it to work.

I have always found this kind of stupid. I mean, it allows a player to play multiple races on one computer, but does not allow my son and I to both play in the same game from our separate computers, even against comps! It's not like we are going to buy a second copy of the game to get around this, so I don't see that it is a valid form of copy protection, at least in my household. Just an annoyance.
