I have tried to play some older games online like Red Alert, Dune2000, Railroad Tycoon2 and I keep having problems with "Out of Sync" errors in ALL of those games. I have an Athlon 700 on the Epox EP-7KXA motherboard and I'm trying to connect to my brother's P2-333 system. Before I upgraded to the Athlon 700 I had the P2-333 and my brother had a K6-200MMX and all of these games ran fine.
I am not sure what settings may be causing this, but I am sure the problem is on my Athlon 700. I have 256MB of PC133 (2x 128 dimms). I also have the ASUS V6800 geforce DDR card.
I do not have my system overclocked, and my brother does not have his overclocked either. Are there any recommended bios settings that could fix this?
I have Win-ME, but this problem still existed when I had win95. My brother currently has win95 on his system.
Other server run games work fine, games like online flight sims with 1 server running the game work great. The problem just exists on games run between 2 people, no matter who is hosting.
I also have ADSL and my brother is on dial-up (56K) I have no run any connection tweaks on my system, and I don't think he has run any on his either. The games seemed to run fine when I had my P2-333 connecting with ADSL, so I don't think that is the problem.
So, does anyone have any suggestions besides telling my brother to build himself a new PC???
I also forgot to mention, this "Out of Sync" problem also exists when my Athlon 700 is connected to the P2-333 through a LAN, though the same problem does not exist between the P2-333 and the K6-200MMX on a LAN.
