To solve multiplayer connection issues in Sniper Elite 4, you can try to get NAT Type Open or NAT Type 2. You will need to forward the correct ports in your router and then check the NAT Type in your gaming console. NAT Type Open and NAT Type 2 allow you to host the lobby so you can game while experiencing the least lag possible.

Description of Elite

Here it is-- the game that started a whole new genre of space trading games. Elite gives you complete freedom to find fame and fortune in a vast universe, as a space mercenary.

It is difficult to find fault with Elite: from the amazing flight model to the intuitive interface, revolutionary graphics (for its time), great variety of ships, and many other novel ideas, Elite is a true classic.

Beside revolutionary 3D engine for its time, Elite also boasts a huge universe to explore with many random elements to ensure virtually unlimited replayability. Trade various cargoes, salvage enemy ships, and take on increasingly difficult missions as a mercenary for hire.

Ian Bell has released the game into the public domain, so go to his site right now for the game and other assorted goodies. Two thumbs up!

Mine doesn't load. I save it without problems, but when I load it just says 'ERROR: Retry (Y/N)?'. I am running this on DosBox. If anyone could help that would be fantastic.

I used to play this on the ax spectrum.... There was a bug so that if you launced then stopped and turned over so you were in line with the space station entrance you could fly right back it and if you hit hyperspace while in the docking tunnel you found yourself docked at the target planets station....I did that u too I could afford a docking computer....lol. Wonder if it works on the other versions?

Best game i found for the DOSBox, the gameplay is amazing although there is quite the learning curve. However, i have not yet found a way to save and load my progress.
