Grawr! i've tried to play drakan recently (after a few OS installs and suchlike) but my multiplayer keeps saying that I can't even host a LAN match because there is something wrong. I've clean installed it, put patch 445 on then put my multiplayer folder with all my mas over it. Then it just refuses to work.

This is both on win XP and 7,
My win2k lets me join but I dont think it lets me host, or was that the other way around..

i've got the same problem with Win7 and can't fix it. With XP though, it worked fine for me ... maybe you can try to run the "Drakan.exe" with "Compability Mode" (rightclick -> Properties) of Win98.
This site also explains how to set up Drakan-MP: http://www.drakanbonded.com/multi.php (but don't know if that includes your problem)

nevermind I figured it out. I use gamespy to connect to other people and can host from the games multiplayer section now.. This is on windows 7.. i have yet to fix the other computers copy of drakan.. What I did was I deleted all drakan files from my compueer, redownloaded patch 445, and only saved the map folders from my multiplayer one (air, ground ect) full reinstall and copied the MP folders over.
