Can't you just press the "Host game" button while on the advanced listings?

Yes ?

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life

Yes, you can. A FDS just gives much more possibilities.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

SSAOW (Now SSGM) only works with the FDS, as do many other patches, it also is more resource effective (well... Renegade... just... whatever..) etc.

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Oh. I'm guessing it better suits the job (web transfer and handling wise)?

Originally i thought that Renegade had another bug on my computer.

If you click "Host Game" then you have to be playing in that game.

The FDS is for servers, where there isn't a person sitting at the actual PC. If allows more options and modifications than the simple "Host Game" option in Renegade.
