    Hi,

    Can anyone tell me what is the average bandwidth (kb/sec) that is sent from host to client and client to host when playing Throne of Bhaal in multiplayer. I cant see it quoted anywhere. Even a ballpark figure would be very very useful.

    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    A friend of mine played through all of SoA in multiplayer with a friend of his with a run-of-the-mill 56k modem. He said everything went (mostly) smoothly, except for a few weird happenings (like items duplicating) and a little lag. That was for only 2 people playing multi.

    I can't see why ToB would be any different. Then again, I never actually tried multiplayer myself, so take this for what it's worth. My friend had a great time though, especially using RogerWilco to talk in real time.

    You can play just fine on a 56k.

    The bandwidth is probably about the same as it would be for any other game.
