Having trouble playing BG2 on Gamespy through firewall...

Maniac · 06-06-2002, 04:02 PM

Does anyone know if there's more ports than the usual GS Arcade ports? Thanks ahead of time!

Oh, and I do have ToB installed, so it's updated. I'm trying to play a regular BG2 game, so I posted in this board.

In the readme (Why do people never read readmes? It would seemt to be obvious, but they never do) it says to leave port 2300-2400 and 47624 open. Id guess 2300-2400 are standard and 47624 is BG2's assigned port number.

In my experience port info is always in either a readme, or a technical document. Its always available in the provided documentation somewhere. Can be hard to find though, although with the newer games HTML readmes can make it easier. Althogh slower.

The only other one that I can think of that I've found not online somewhere is Starcraft.
