What is the "fix file" you mentioned? Got a link?
Not to hand, it was on the Tunngle forums somewhere, it gave a "health warning" before using it, so that put me off.
Voice chat / no voice chat : I had always been against using voice chat, for several different reasons, but I have found it to be vital in helping people get involved with HWLG MP, and in bug finding/helping with bug reporting to JMM.
xfire has voice chat, and it has
type chat, for those that don't want to use voice, or can not use it.....my mic cost £7, the type chat is as good as anywhere else. In the time we have been using it there has only been a problem for about two days while something was being upgraded, apart from that it has been faultless. As far as I know xfire has no installation problems and no "pc" work involved, you download it and use it.
I agree in full that if JMM "recommend" a place top meet, most would use it, but if that happened to be Tunngle, then I would be excluded - as I find it totaly impossible to get working.
I don't expect JMM to "recommend" any system, why should he ?.......untill we get a "special" HW lobby we have to carry on as now.
My one and only objection to Tunngle is that it does not work !....I'm not sure what the objection to xfire could be.
