It's off-topic here.

Playing alone Commander Keen 4 Ultimate Edition has been a blast, thank you for all the effort. :p :love Yes, pass your efforts to Keen 5 and 6!


However, when I tried to play with a friend of mine it went badly. I am not sure it is my fault or if I missed something, but here it is. Any help is appreciated.

We started Commander Genius selected Keen4U set up the graphics as we like; set up the controls so the movements are separated; disabled friendly fire; and started playing.

However, we had few problems.
The first is that when someone dies we did not find a way to revive him, it appears a message like "to revive you need to stand still" but we did not find a way.
The second, when one enters a home, the second player may find himself stuck in the floor unable to move. In some cases the stuck player may be able to just out of the floor, but it is quite annoying.
The third, it happened few times that one player started controlling also the other one. So when moving, both Keens would move in sync.

Does those problems ring any bell? What can I try? Playing Keen with friends is a childhood dream...

I also found a bug; Keen gets stuck over the island of tar in the main map. To replicate just start a game, do the border village and miraga. Start swimming and go ashore in the island of tar, then try to swim to the island of fire. I found impossible to swim back.

If your issues are with Commander Genius and not the mod itself, you might want to ask about it on its subforum.

You need to run "UCK4.BAT" in Dosbox, not "KEEN4E.EXE".
