Win2k NFS5 multiplayer w/ error!
This is a discussion about Win2k NFS5 multiplayer w/ error! in the Windows Games category; I renamed that file and got NFS5 to start but whenever I play multiplayer I get a error saying invalid shape I play regular games fine. Any ideas?.

OP
Also, Using tnt2 ultra and Sidewinder joystick USB.
multiplayer works fine on my 10mb/s ethernet lan. i played all afternoon with a friend and it ran perfectly.
we had both win2k computers using graphics maxed out, one with ATI Rage Fury, the other with Diamond Viper 770 Ultra.
I don't know about dial-in or broadband connections, but I did notice the game was using most of the bandwidth of the lan, so I would expect any tcp connection that is not broadband would probably be very laggy.
Hopefully EA will tune their network code in a patch soon.
