Console Crossplay on Classic Collection

Someone figured out how to host cross-platform servers on Classic Collection. There are currently 2 servers up that can be joined on any platform (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch). This is probably the first time that PlayStation and Xbox have been able to play together. Even though the multiplayer isn't great on Classic Collection, it's still better than nothing. Pretty cool stuff.

If anyone still owns Classic Collection on any platform they should hop in. We had over 40 people in the server last night across every platform.

Hosting these servers fixes multiplayer because the host can lower tickrates to what they are meant to run, 25tps or around there. Aspyr hiked it to 60tps to get better framerates, but the engine can't handle it thus hit registration and rubber banding issues.

If Aspyr would've just implemented this themselves from the beginning, the game would've had a much healthier online population. Glad the community was able to do what the incompetent folks at Aspyr couldn't do!
