Post subject:  problem while playing games on a LAN

While using BW 2.1 (also happened w/ 2.0) on a LAN game, a player will walk over a weapon, the text will display as if it was picked up, but it can't be held or used and isn't displayed in the GUI. After a second pass over the same weapon, the text doesn't display, as if the player has the weapon. Any melee weapon/pistol the player spawned w/ functions normally.
It doesn't always happen, but never happens to the host. Our machines are ancient, so that might be the problem.

Any help you guys can provide would be much appreciated.

Hmm... initial guess would be that maybe the Server packages aren't set up right, but if that was the case it seems like it'd affect all but the host, unless all computers minus the host do have this happen?

Or was it just one or two computers?

Thanks for the reply Captain Xavious.

There's only two machines on our network, so by default it affects all but the host.

Gotcha. In that case its probably the ServerPackages. You can figure that out by reading through the install instructions I made in the help forums.

I've always looked down on those who don't RTFM, and now I'm one of them. My apologies sir.

but yeah, that not only fixed the aforementioned problem, but also one I was having with Bonus Pack 4. anyway, thanks for the help!
