: 4.oh yea ONE MORE THING... it used to be that
: you needed the essential zone file to play on
: gamespy. i am not exactly sure if it is still
: needed,but i would keep it on for now. i still play risk2 there,so keeping mine.
: that is the setup file for zone, the 800kb(or was it 450kb???) .
: 5.the risk patch-if you used it on the zone,you will need it on gamespy. if your game played fine on the zone, and you haven't made any changes, don't change anything. the patch is only for the 'host'
: cd of the 2 cd set. it does no good for the single (red) cd version. in fact, it wrecks it, and you will have to uninstall/reinstall risk.good to see you all there, keep trying.
: i know you will figure it out eventually !
