How to set up a game with two friends.

Post by SpiritofTheWolfx »

How the hell do you play the game with two friends? Like the wiki page for the multiplayer explains absolutely nothing. Can I get a step by step. We aren't looking to set up a server. Just have a world one of us can load in multiplayer then send the IP to join and just play.

Pick one of y'all to be the host. Preferably someone with port forwarding ability if necessary. Once the host starts it up, tell them to find their ip address (plenty of websites, search whatismyip).

After the host is setup and in-game, the others will hit Connect and enter the IP with the port (34197) at the end. So 111.222.333.444:34197

If it connects, good to go. If it doesn't, likely a port forwarding issue or firewall/av. Don't try to connect at the same time as someone else - 1 at a time.
