multiplayer

Shaggy · 10-16-2003, 07:47 PM

could anyone possibly give a detailed description of how to start a multiplayer game as we're having difficulty with starting one, I put in Xzirox's I.P but it wont connect.

Make sure your host is already connected, for starters. if you do that, and make sure you have the correct name and password, it should work.

i, too have had problems with that...

RoSs_bg2_rox · 10-18-2003, 12:10 PM

make sure that youve both got the exact same versions of the game. (same patches etc.)

andrewas · 10-18-2003, 12:39 PM

Make sure the host starts first.

Make sure that any firewalls are either disabled (bad idea) or configured to allow BG2 traffic to pass. The information you need for that is in the readme, although softwre firewalls should ask automaticaly when BG2 requests internet connections and should set themselves up from there. (You /do/ have a firewall right? Running without a firewall in this day and age is asking for trouble).

If the host has a router he will either need to set up DMZ (bad idea) or port forwarding - the information for which is in the readme. A router on the client machine shouldn't be a problem, its just hosting that causes troubles. Theres a few threads on how to host through a router in the NWN and general discussion forums, if you need more information.

Make sure you have the right IP. In the host has a LAN, you may be trying to use an internal IP which is only visible from that network. You need the external IP.

1) Both of us have SoA, ToB + no mods (exept official patch)
2) Both of us have tryed to host
3) "Make sure your host is already connected, for starters. if you do that, and make sure you have the correct name and password, it should work. "......We cant "get past" the first part where you write the IP address.....it says "connection cannot be established"

PLZ HELP! We really wanna play multiplayer :'(
