hi,
im using a6.60 com and i have a problem with running my prog as server+client and client only on the same pc:
at first i start the program with -sv -cl. this works fine but as soon as i start another instance of it (- cl ony) to connect to the first one, the first one freezes.
the logfile of the client shows

...
Searching for servers... session CLIENT_MAIN found
Session CLIENT_MAIN joined as spieler1
...

the logfile of the server+client shows:

...

i always have to close the first program by using the task-manager.. it uses 99% cpu power and dosnt react anymore after the client joined.

any idea what is causing this?
it also happens with an "empty" project, just
function main(){
level_load(NULL);
wait(2);
}

if i start both with -sv only or both with -sv -cl it works fine

the os on this pc is winxp sp3

Perhaps you're having a hardware problem? When the second instance starts, the two engine windows might be going through a "tug-of-war" where each one is trying to control your sound hardware.

Try using the -ns parameter to stop the engine from initializing DirectSound.
