Multiplayer problem

Post by bigseb »

Over the weekend my son and I were going to have a little multiplayer Warzone session. For some reason though I couldn't get it to work. The guest PC just couldn't/wouldn't see the host PC. It couldn't have been the LAN 'cos all other games worked fine, just Warzone. Both PC's running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Help.

Thanks.

What do you mean by 'couldn't get it to work' ? What is the problem, and what error message do you get ?

If you are hosting on a LAN, and the other machines on the LAN are trying to use the lobby to connect, then that means your router isn't smart enough to understand what is going on.

That is why you need to have the other machines on the LAN connect to the host's LAN IP directly.
and it ends here.
