+ | The server requires a unique ID number for each client. The ID number is stored in the Client.ID file. If you copy a Doomsday installation from one computer to another, the ID number file is copied as well. This means when the second installation tries to connect to the first one, a duplicate ID error is reported and the connection is aborted. To fix this, you'll need to delete the Client.ID file from the copied installation. A new ID will be automatically generated when you start the game. | ||
