Rise of Nations Multiplayer Game - saving and loading

[Budarow]

How do you save/load a Rise of Nations multiplayer game (which was played on a LAN and NOT through GameSpy)?? I've looked all over the place trying to figure it out with no luck.

I see the option to load a saved single player game and see my multiplayer game in this menu, but I get a message similar to: "can't load a multiplayer game in a solo mode"??

I've also read that I've got to go through GameSpy in order to load a multiplayer game. This seems strange since the multiplayer game I'm trying to load was NOT played through GameSpy (i.e., I play multiplayer ONLY on a home LAN).

I've also read various patches were supposed to fix multiplayer bugs and I've updated to the latest version (I believe 1.04).

Thanks,

Bud

It's been a while since I've played RoN, but I believe you create a game like normal with your friend on LAN connecting. Only then do you select the saved game with one of the various options on the right side. It's at the very top, IIRC. Something like choosing "Saved Game" from a drop-down menu and then it bringing up a list of saved games.

I hope this helps and I'm not confusing it with another RTS.

I'll try it out tonight...worth a shot. I can't believe something so common as "loading a saved multiplayer game" would be such a pain in the arse.
