Isnt Hidden and Dangerous II freeware now?

clear the H&D Setup files from the /TEMP/

re-install under the ADMIN account (not a User account w/ admin permission, but the actual ADMIN account)

Other than that, you'd have to contact the publisher, since they would know which string is causing the issue.

H&D Deluxe has been freeware since the H&D2 release in 2004. Where do I find the /TEMP/ file ? BTW thanks for the reply.

Finally found a solution to this ! I ran a Windows Installer clean up tool, and all is good.

Let me know if you can get the multiplayer to work. I reinstalled H&D 2 a few months ago on my Win 7 PC and the single player worked fine but multiplayer refused to work.

i have Windows 7 and i can play H&D 2 multiplayer.

i can't run the game but someone with Windows XP can.

i can play with Eugene and Recluse who both have Windows XP.

one of them will run the server.

Right so what you're saying is that someone with Windows 7 cant host the game but they can join a server that is being hosted by someone with Windows XP.

yes.

in the multiplayer menu can you see games listed?

some of the servers use the community made maps/missions and you can't join them unless you have them also.



i currently have the Ultimate Coop Map Pack 1.4 installed, but i see that there is a newer version available so i will install it now:

H&D2SS Coop Superpack v 2.1: http://www.hidden-and-dangerous.de/downloads/index.php?file_id=454

Thanks for the info newman. Unfortunately my friend who I do most of my online gaming with also has Win 7.

i have not played H&D 2 for quite a while now.

Recluse is telling me now that i could host the game on my computer, so i might not be correct in telling you that it can't be done.

i apologize if my information about not being able to host the game on a Windows 7 computer is incorrect.

we are going to try playing again tonight so i will be able to see if i can host the game.

p.s

maybe using Hamachi would help you connect to your friend's game?
