What's New in This Release:
This patch adds LAN (Local Area Network) play to the PC version of Need for Speed ProStreet.
LAN Play
Overview:
This patch introduces multiplayer game play in a standalone LAN environment. Up to 32 games of 2-8 players per game are supported. The patch has two components:
- Updated ProStreet game client
- New ProStreet LAN Server
IMPORTANT:
- ProStreet PC LAN Game Server is a separate application that must be started before attempting to use LAN Play.
- Run one server only per LAN. Only one ProStreet PC LAN Game Server is required per LAN. Each server can host up to 32 games.
ProStreet Game Client
Prerequisite: The PC LAN Game Server MUST be running on one PC connected to the LAN before selecting LAN in the ProStreet game. LAN Game play option can be found on the main menu.
Step 1) PC LAN Game Server Auto-Discovery
When LAN is selected, ProStreet will automatically discover and connect to the LAN Game Server running on the LAN.
If not found automatically, the player is presented with a screen to manually enter the IP Address of the PC LAN Game Server in case the server is running on a different subnet.
Step 2) LAN Account Creation
ProStreet PC LAN play requires each player to create a user account on the LAN Game Server. The username and password are case sensitive. All LAN statistics and leaderboards collected during LAN games are associated with each players account.
Note: LAN play does not require an internet connection and does not use EA Nation user accounts.
Step 3) Login
Login using the created LAN account.
Step 4) Lobby Screen
After login, the user is presented with the LAN lobby screen which shows a list of all active games (1 or more players) running in the ProStreet LAN Server. From the lobby screen, either create a new LAN game or join an existing LAN game.
If the ProStreet LAN Server has not been configured with enough game servers, then an attempt to create a new LAN Game will fail. In which case, see below for instructions on ProStreet LAN Server configuration.
