Hey, i've just downloaded the game but it doesn't work. I did the shortcut thing, but when I try to run the game only appears a background and nothing else. What can I do?
This game is controlled using your phone, so you need to connect to the game with your phone's browser. Here how you do it:
- Take any device with a web browser and connect to the same wifi network as the computer running the game
- In your device's web browser, type the IP address of the computer running the game (You can find your computer's IP address by typing "ipconfig" into Command Prompt and using the IPv4 Address number)
- After entering the IP into the browser, a button and a D-pad should appear on the screen of your smart device (make sure it is held sideways), and a cat should appear on the computer screen to show that you've joined
- Drop in as many players as you like. You need at least two to play the game, but it plays best with six or more.
I would try again, starting from scratch, just in case something went irreversibly wrong the first time. Delete all the files you downloaded for Catastrophe, download the game again, and create a new shortcut, pasting " --hft-installation-mode" (without the quotation marks) to the very end of it's Target field. Then try connecting to the IP with your devices.
I just ran through the process myself, and I noticed that Windows will ask for permission to allow the game to operate on private and public networks. Make sure you check yes for both.
Let me know if this works. Thanks for bearing with me so long, I hope it'll be worth it.
