LAN problems. Can see, can connect... game won't start.

[Kraiye]

Hi all,

Has been a LOOONG time since I last LANed UT. I started a server at college the other day, others could see it and connect to it but the game wouldn't start. It just sat there saying waiting for players to join. I feel like a n00b again

Is there something simple I'm probably missing? a check box? a setting? or is there a know mod/patch I may have installed that messes with LAN games?

All help and suggestions appreciated. If I don't get this working we're stuck playing CS. (There's only so much CS one can take when UT is at the fingertip!!!)

Cheers.

LAN should work fine, don't need anything extra for it.

Games sometimes won't start if you didn't include everything you've got going on listed in ServerPackages.

Also sometimes won't start until actual players get into the game, not just bots.

In the "Rules" tab there is an option "Tournament".
With this on it waits for everyone to signal they are ready by clicking the fire button.
Try switching it off.
