Doom 3 system link?

Kai Beginner Joined: 09 Oct 2004 Posts: 2 Location: Canada

I have my xbox connected to my router, and my pc(with the everything running) is wireless connected to the router..I set up kai, logged in, and went to the doom 3 joining a game screen, BUT.. it kept saying "cannot find any games"(or something like that), and whenever kai tried to detect my xbox with that screen, nothing happened..Any reason why?

Crying or Very sad

I also tried to use xbmc x link kai and the engine running on pc, i selected play on a doom arena, went back to xbmc and opened up doom 3 and went to join a game, but doom 3 could not find a game.. Confused

Please help asap,

Thanks..

I have been having a problem with Doom3 too, a friend and I got the game together at the same time. We play on kai with lots of games and have never had a major problem, minor lag, but we always get decent pings. Playing doom3 co-op we can start the game, and not soon after it will look as if the other player is standing still, even if they are moving on their screen, and even talking. No choppiness in voice, just all of a sudden we can't move on because the nobody can move on the other person's screen.

What gives??? Rolling Eyes

I have been trying to play Doom 3 as well, not to many people are playing it. Halo 2 is the "in" right now. Maybe I will meet you guys in there and we can play.

Whenever I click on Doom 3 in arena, it sends me to the Halo Country section. This doesn't happen with the other games, any help is appreciated.

Edit: Sorry, got it now, found it in another thread.

I'm using it on Kai linux mips (WRTG) and it's happening...
In my opinion the problem isn't the kai... must be some versions of the game. Tha't why i asked those questions...

Try playing it in the Arena/Special Interest/Routing Mode Test Arenas and see if any mode works better than the other.

i've been having this problem as well. i haven't looked into it very much but is it possible certain ports need fowarding. i read on other forums (gamefaqs) about other games having similiar (from what i can gather) problems. turns out the other games used random ports above something like 10000 and that port triggering needed to be used. does anyone know if this is the case with doom3?
