how you can create lobby games

Post by DT-170x »

Can you create lobby games. Can you tell me what to do to create a lobby game. I want to play more people in lobby mode.

erm... 'Host game'? If you've got the correct ports forwarded and no firewall problems then your game should show up in the lobby. I'd tell you what ports to forward but I don't know them. If you've got xfire you could always add kipman725. He's usually up for a game and he'll let others know as well (including me).

The ports are 9997 and 9999. Sometimes disabling the firewall is enough.

DT-170x, first of all you must make sure the right ports are forwarded. Then you start the Game and click "Multi Player Game"->"Host Game". Then choose the map and other settings. After that you must click on the button with arrows to the left of the menu, its tooltip sais "Start Hosting the Game", if you don't, then your game will not be visible to other players.
I also suggest to restart the game after each hosting, there's a bug which sometimes prevents the game to become listed on the game server.
