How-to-play On-line

The unpatched game is, with the shutdown of GameSpy online services, sadly unplayable over the Internet. It will still be a blast on a LAN!

Note that Dailatana 1.3 does not support Frag-Net, so you're unfortunately not able to host any servers without the need to port-forward or browse servers.
