Multiplayer doesn't work :S

Post by gallo »

*Couldn't establish network communication with server when trying to log into any multiplayer game...
*Failed to determine External IP Address, when trying to host a game :S

Port 34197 is wide open, firewall is not blocking, hamachi does nothing, changing ports in config files does nothing.

This has to be the dumbest multiplayer implementation ever concieved, just plain stupid that one can't just play without this BS

Any ideas?

Lazy ass devs dont seem to care about this issue.... SAD

For *Failed to determine External IP Address" see viewtopic.php?f=49&t=53992

It might be your router, but it could also be your isp's router. Other than that I can only suggest using netcat or something similar to try to diagnose whether you can successfully send and receive udp packets in general and on port 34197 in particular. If you can't then talk to your isp,

  • 1. You have not provided any of the information required to make a bug report.
    2. Believe me, I've seen worse implementations of multiplayer.
    3. Insulting the devs does not help.
    4. I think it's a stretch to say that it's completely broken........

Many people having this issue and no fix = devs do not care. Simple. No game is worth having to set things up in router to make it work.
But I found a great fix, it's called a refund...

Most of these issues are things beyond the devs' control. And only a tiny minority of people actually have issues. Additionally, the devs can't really look into it if you don't provide the information they need.

Really?
How many games require you to mess with your router?
It's in their control to use systems that actually work when building a game, they seem to understand the issue pretty well, some posts on this very issue are at least a year old, but they seem to think their game is just fine as is by pointing ppl to a post saying it's your ISP's fault instead of implementing a fix. Again NO game does this! And i've played some pretty shitty games.

You still haven't provided the things you need to make a bug report.

Just forget it, wanted to play with some friends, but no game is worth a day of troubleshooting it's not 1993 FFS

Ordered a refund already
