I can't get in!

Post by RDBoles »

I get as far as trying to find server and that is it. A few days ago I got in two games using the host's IP address. This time it did not work. Any help?

This almost all the time has nothing to do with the game itself. It's the setup.

If you are doing direct connect, then you have to make sure you have the ip and port correct, and also that the host has the port mapped. Also, sometimes software firewall programs like to interfere, but this is rare.

Is the port map the same as 31791 or does that change as well?

The server sets this and if he didn't change it, that's what it defaults to.
