I used to play this game a long time ago when it first came out. Heck, was even hooked by the demo. From out of nowhere, I just got the itch to play it again. I'm surprised that a community still exists for this Anyway, I'd like to say thanks for all those keeping it alive. Playing this on Vista and needed the dmsynth.dll workaround and 445++ patch. Thanks for that.
One quesiton...I've tried going onto the multiplayer. Of the seven IPs listed on the help page (http://www.arokhslair.net/tech.html) I only see Atimar's Little Server (though I see nobody playing). Are those other IP's current?
Also, I've been getting disconnects from Atimar's within a minute. Is there anything to do about it?
Thanks! & some questions

Hello yoodaa!
I'm very proud of this community which I am part of: there are very few games that were published 8 years agp and still have active fans. Some time ago we've even had a new fan level!
As writer of the 445++ patch, I tried to fix two most disturbing problems with single player game, however note that applying patch will probably cease multi player subsystem, as the game won't be longer "pure". I've included downgrade app, so you can test both solutions. I am going to check in near future if it will be possible to "cheat" checksum to bypass this limitation. I am going also to work on some multi player improvements (on my friend's computers game used to crash or freeze even at few <b>second</b> from launch game in multi player). This is hell a lot of work and I don't have as lot free time as I used to have (mainly because I am now working as webdesigner for "MA" company in Poland and also I am studying game programming in Polish University)
