Nexus - The Jupiter Incident > Multiplayer

Multiplayer solution for Windows Vista and Windows 7

(1/3) > >>

nasharas:
hi guys, look what I found on one of steam forums:
"As I wanted to play Nexus in MP with Vista installed, i wrote a library which pretends to be DirectPlayVoice but does nothing. However, I'm afraid you still have to disable voice comm in the multiplayer options and .Net 3.5 is required (but should be installed anyway on most Vista PCs)
If you are interested:

Nexus MP fix for Vista and 7


INSTRUCTIONS:
- Copy that dll to a simple directory (e.G. C:\nexusfix\DVoiceEmul.dll)
- open a command shell(start menu: type cmd, press enter)
- Switch to %Windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 (type: cd %Windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727)
- Register the dll. (type: regasm C:\nexusfix\DvoiceEmul.dll /codebase)
- There should be some warnings and finally it should tell you that the types have been registered successfully.
- Now you can play Nexus MP.


- However, you should not move the dll from there once you registered it. If you wish to move or delete it, you must first regasm C:\nexusfix\DvoiceEmul.dll /u to unregister it.


This Library *could* work for other games with the same problem as well, but I'm not sure.
Have Fun.

PS: *Technically* it's not a wrapper "

And guess what, IT WORKS,

Damn, I totally overlooked that post. That is great news. I'm actually even baffled by the simplicity of this solution after looking at the code of that DLL. Now if only there'd be a working master server, so we wouldn't need to rely on Hamachi for multiplayer... but getting any multiplayer to work in Vista and Windows 7 is more than I expected anyway.

So thank you very much for posting that here. ;)

Great, this will help a lot of people.

Thanks for posting it  :thumbup:

Sorry to bump a two-year-old-thread...

Link in the OP is no longer in service, and was apparently the only place on the entire internet where the file was hosted.

Is there another fix for Windows 7/Vista?

Arparso:
Hmmm... it appears I don't have the file anymore myself. I've contacted the author and will upload the file here shortly.

/edit:
Ok, got the file, and updated the download link in the first post. There you go:
