Hi guys,
First of all, great work on LiNK and FSD and everything. Much appreciated, and well respected!
I personally own two RGH consoles, as I am a huge fan of local co-op. Recently, I added the LiNK plugin as an alternative to XBSlink, which I use for playing remotely with a friend (X-Link is unreliable for me, for some reason...) because XBSlink is a real hassle to set up sometimes.
So the way I understood it - there's no way to do both, right? To play Locally and via LiNK, that is. The reason, as I understand it, being that the LiNK plugin funnels traffic from your device to an external address, that being FQE, instead of regular system link usage which is to the router and to other devices on the network. What XBSlink does is, as part of the "other devices", sit and listen for Xbox packets and THEN forwards them to the external target.
So my question is - is this how it works? If so, can't it be made so that the XBox transmits the packets as is to BOTH targets (the network AND the external FQE) so that folks with more than one XBox can enjoy local play whilst on LiNK? Is there some other fix, other than unloading LiNK on both consoles, for playing local System Link again?
A different question is - how do I make it so LiNK doesn't load by default? I'm more prone to play locally than online, and I'd prefer LiNK to be off by default for the time being, until it can support both local and online play. I know there's an "Always Off" setting, but it doesn't seem to re-enable local system link; only unloading the plugin does.
Anyway, thanks, and keep on the EXCELLENT work!
