I traversed most of engineering with 0 psi points and 3 hit points, wielding a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless wrench, and having only 1 point allocated to anything besides psi, that being hacking.

I'm sure that this is common knowledge, but psionics playthroughs are late-game oriented and start out completely hellish, particularly on impossible. During my first playthrough I specialized in the easiest build, that being Navy, hack, repair, and standard weapons on hard difficulty, then I decided to go on a more interesting psionics run on impossible difficulty. I'm planning to repeat the experience - although at the moment I can't get the GOG version to run at all, SP or MP ! So as you'd expect there's clearly a number of problems with modern platforms - but if they can be worked round, the MP mode should give you a great time.I'm on the Recreation Deck of my second playthrough of System Shock 2. Perhaps I'm only remembering the good bits, but if it was many minutes I'm sure we'd not have kept playing. I don't remember any particularly long sync time. It was a TON of fun, and worked pretty much fine, in fact I'm not sure I ever finished the game in SP mode.

The day the multiplayer support was released, years ago, I started a co-op game with a friend over a 64k ISDN link, and over several evenings we played the whole game through that way. Is there anything to be done? I can't solve the problem but I can confirm that the criticisms of multiplayer support are overstated. It takes up to 15 minutes to load up a game. JCD-Bionicman: I was playing LAN with two other people and the first time we managed to get in, but it took very long for us all to synchronize past the training phase and into the Von Braun section.
