I need help with local custom games
Posted: 24 May 2020, 10:39
my room mate ( lap top) and myself (desktop) were trying to set up a game so we both could play.
now i was using the steam version, I since uninstalled that version and installed the non-stolen version once i learned what it was.
now we were having issues having the game lobby work. I could see his lobby and i couldnt join it.
i forwarded the ports ( im pretty sure) to 2100.
now his computer would say it had port 2100 issues. So I would go forward the 2100 port, then my computer wouldnt connect and his would.
so i spent about 3 hours trying to figure out what the hell was wrong.
I did pretty much every google search and nothing helped.
I'm really trying to get my friend hooked on this game and it's not helping when i can't even get us in the same game.
sometimes the notifications in the chat would say to open the port, but I wasn't sure how that could have been done.
I am not a computer wiz, SO i need someone to explain this to me like I'm 5.
