Can't connect to Ye Olde game.

[archaeolept]

I haven't been able to try a duplicate of the connection because I actually have to reboot my PC most of the time after trying to connect (can't alt tab out, etc.).

ahhh, have the shortcut open in a window. that way, its easy to open up a second process, and then kill the first in task manager.

for instance, here is one of my shortcuts:
E:\games\dominions2\dom2.exe --tcpclient --ipadr 80.161.86.108 --port 2298 -m --res 1065 804 --clickvol 0
(those are double dashes, except in front of the m, which is a single dash to turn off music)

to create a shortcut just copy and paste (to the desktop) a copy of your domII shortcut, then rename to the game name, then rightclick "properties" and change "target"

the --res xxx yyy command creates it in a window of the specified dimensions (since i run my desktop at 1152 by 864, the window created is just the right size for me)
