I can't seem to get co-op working with D64 TC, I just want people to be able to connect to me and play a co-op game (if at all possible). Can I by pass going through master servers and all that crap? Also, when I think I'm about to get things working, TC crashes on me, is there possible a common fix for this?

I found a secret room in Altar of Pain that says 'You play too much doom', but before you can see it, a picture shoots out fireballs at you, then you can go up to the picture and hit it like a switch and it'll move up and reveal that message ;)

I hope this bump is frowned upon buttt.... To find the first artifact: In Outpost Omega, near the exit, before you hit the exit switch, run back up the hallway and go to your left (opposite side of the switch that brought the cacodemons and pain elementals) and there'll be a wall opened, go in there to go to crisis... In crisis, when you get the red key, turn right and look out the fenced window and you'll see a switch, shoot it and run back out the door to the room and run up the the switch in from of you. Next, go back to the area where you can look out and see stars. Go out the exit that leads to a teleporter. Go into that teleporter and you'll be inside a wall, before going out, turn to one of the other walls and open it, there'll be a switch in front of you. Hit it and run out of the walled area and turn left, another wall should be down, go into that teleporter and you'll appear in a hidden area. Go to the only switch in the room and the conveyor belt will activate. Wait for a moment and the artifact will come to you. For artifact #2: At the exit, before jumping off the ledge, walk past the yellow "arch" and to your right, on a pillar, a switch will be exposed, shoot that and go back to where you got the red key. They'll be another exit there, but don't go in it. Walk up to the exit and turn back around and go to the artifact, the platform will be lowered. If you go into the 2nd exit, it'll lead you to hardcore.

Ah yes, that cacodemon is a real bitch, transparenty, fast as hell, and shoots 2 fireballs at a time. What I like most about this game is abundance of traps in the game. I've beaten both Doom 1 and 2 (playing Plutonia atm with Doom 64) and it seems Doom 64 likes to trap you (like going into a seemingly empty room and having a ring of lost souls appear around you). Or falling in a pit and being attacked by Spectres in a dark room. Or pressing the "exit" button, but to only have 4 barons of hell come up for the pillars in the 4 corners of a locked room. Yeah, the active changes in the landscape make this the best doom imo.

Ah, well I've yet to continue on from my last save cuz I want to get those artifacts, is there a faq/guide on telling you how to get them? Finding secrets in Doom like the artifacts isn't the easy thing in the world to figure out on your own :\ And now a bit of how I what I think of the TC: I think it's excellent, sure it's not a perfect conversion, but it gives the same enemies, same level styles, and most importantly, the same feel of the game. I found myself screaming out loud as I was being chased by nightmare imps in a hallway with a Hell Knight at the end I was heading for. Now _that's_ what Doom 64's all about. Just amazing work.

Ah, I've got it working, but now I have a question, I'm loving the game and all, but are the secret levels of Doom 64 (the secret levels that have the artifacts) accessible the same method? I can't seem to access them (I know Hectic was pulled out).

I've been trying for hours now to get this thing to work to no avail. I can get the music to work just fine and everything else, but trying to run a Doom64 game always crashes, I don't get it, I just get the standard Windows "Would you like to send an error report" deal.
