So my friends, my brother, and I are trying to play a 4 person multiplayer game on factorio. Note that my brother and I are in the same house so we are on the same router. My brother as port forwarded so we can host. (My brother is hosting on a mac, and I am also on a mac) Anyways, our 2 friends connected fine using the IP, but it refuses to allow me to connect giving me this error: following peers are not responding: unknown username, unknown username
And then it quits me out of the server. Is there any way too fix this?

Re: multiplayer error
Please post the log and all the server settings your brother made on setup. It is not clear from your post, why you think this is a bug.

Are you trying to connect with the local IP address while your friends are connecting with your external IP? Does it work if everyone connects with your external IP?ravensbeard103 wrote:Note that my brother and I are in the same house so we are on the same router.
