WRONG FORUM!You are incorrect. Bungie Universe evolved from the Underground, the home to ALL things having to do with Bungie's older (pre-Halo) games. One of the 4 stickies gives directions for downloading and installing Marathon. That thread is much more technical support than it is story discussion, yet it belongs in the Universe because it deals with a classic Bungie game. All threads having to do with Pathways, Marathon, Myth, Oni, etc belong in the Bungie Universe and nowhere else. Ease back on your "WRONG FORUM!" posts (particularly when they are misplaced). They don't help anyone anyway.

I have been playing Marathon through Aleph One recently and I noticed that when somebody hosts a game online in Marathon 1, the characters weapons are very messed up. Now don't bash me for liking the original Marathon more than Marathon 2 or Infinity. But anyway, assault rifle is angled sideways and only shoots grenades, the SPNKR is the flamethrower sideways, and I forget what is wrong with the Flamethrower and Magnum Mega Class. I was wondering if I did something wrong, or if it's a known bug, or if I just need to replace a file. And if you ever want to play some EMFH or Survival, I'm usually on, and my username is SkaterPriest.skapunkdonthate, Are you playing Marathon 1 and trying to join a game hosted in Marathon 2 or Marathon Infinity? Or conversely, are you playing Marathon Infinity and trying to join a game hosted in Marathon 1? I believe that it is possible for Marathon Infinity players to join Marathon 1 games hosted through Aleph One, however because the games are not 100% compatible players will experience odd issues.
Also, are you seeing the Marathon 1 weapons or the Marathon 2/Infinity weapons? The graphics for the weapons are different between Marathon 1 and Marathon 2/Infinity. If you are seeing the Marathon 2/Infinity weapon graphics while playing Marathon 1, there is likely something very wrong with your install of Marathon 1.
My only other suggestion would be to make sure you have the most current versions of Aleph One and M1A1. You can get the latest versions of both here.
If all players are playing the same game (be it Marathon 1, 2, or Infinity) and you all have the latest versions of Aleph One and the game in question, everything should work fine. My only other suggestion would be to delete and completely reinstall M1A1 and Aleph One.
While Aleph One has become significantly more stable in the last few years, it has always been a bit of a buggy program. I put the blame on Durandal's excessive laughing...
If you try all those tings and still have problems, try asking around on The Pfhorums. That is where the Aleph One gurus hang out these days.
Edit: Nice post Placid. I see that great minds think alike. Good call with the high res textures/sprites. I never use them, so I didn't think of that possibility.

There are no other public forums on this site dedicated solely to the latter, thus the Universe has for years (yes, even two years ago!) been used as the place to post questions such as the one asked by the OP.Even 7 years ago.
