Problem Connecting to any game

[izagawa]

Hi,

Already have a couple of cups, however online worked once, and so that it won't be misunderstood, i mean once in somewhat like 40 attempts amongst the last 24 hours.

Does it already have a multiplayer mode? I can't host either!

Are there any ports upnp stubborn? Is there any help available?

Or first of all, does anyone else is experience this kind of trouble?

Thank ya.

There has to be a different MP mode as soon as possible. We need a lobby and stuff. Come on guys this game has so much potential..dunno why you sell it so cheap..not that im not happy but it is worth much more. I really appreciate the work you did and hope it will grow !! I also hope that there will be official leagues someday.

can you play online without any trouble?

Hey izagawa.

Mini Motor has been designed to use a NAT punchthrough system, so that no port forwarding is needed on the part of the user. So long as you are directly exposed to the internet, or are behind a NAT compatible router (as most modern routers are), and your game version is current (v1.0.09 at time of writing) you should be able to auto-match on-line. The hours with the most on-line activity are between the hours of 8:30 and 15:00 UTC-8.

The match facilitation system upon failing to find a game, automatically sets you as a host and waits for any others also trying to play on-line. These people will automatically join your server.

Alternatively, it is possible to Host and invite steam friends to join you by going Multiplayer => Host Private Game, then clicking invite beside the friend you'd like to join you.

Is it possible that there just aren't that many people looking for games? I've had the same problem 15ish times, at all hours of the day. It searches for a quick match, finds nothing, then (presumably) sets me as host and starts looking for players. I always give up after 2-3 minutes.

Is there any way to see if players are joining your hosted game, and you're just waiting for a full match? The lack of feedback makes it hard to tell if the system's working at all at the moment . . .

(Great game though - tip of the hat to all of you.)

Thank you for your response.

I've tried the host a private matych option but after spending something something like 30 minutes trying to join and vice-versa and not having played a single game does't look very normal.

Anybody else?

I can´t see multiplayer host´s.

But the rest of the game : I love it so much.

ive played this with a bunch of friends no problem using private host option and inviting friends via steam but for some reason one friend cannot connect to my server anymore, and we cannot connect to him. ? but the rest of us can race together fine.

we tried verifying the game cache, and he has current version 1.09 i think?

[izagawa]

Well,I have no idea of what to do? I was trying to play in private also with a friend and nothing, private or not, we couldn't connect. And it sucks.
So please, someone say something and if there are more people experiencing the same issue please confirm,

Cheers

Just bought the game in steam summer sales, I didn't see this issue beforehand. I'm kind of multiplayer or at least coop biased gamer.

[izagawa]

Well, if i knew that i wouldn't be able to play with my friends, I would never bought it.
However, i don't know if this issue still exists because at a point, a while ago both me and a friend to whom i offered the game just quit trying to play it online.

[GabeNewb]

bought the game for me and my gf and can't play it online.. can't find a solution for this.

[MMZ>Stickman]

we want to be able to host an empty public room.

[izagawa]

yuo can host one, after you've completed a search without success, you supposedly automatically create an empty room.
The thing is, I've tried it, and my friends couldn't join, neither thru directly envite from steam...
I guess there's no interest in fixing it, maybe there were few copies sold, i dunno but I would like to play it online.

My friend has the same problem. I can connect to one of our mutual friends just fine, but the first friend can't connect to either of us, nor can we connect to him.

To answer someone's question from above, the best way to know if someone is playing the game is probably to make friends with people in the community and add them to your friends list so you see when they are getting online. It sounds silly, but it might actually work.

I've had success doing private races with a friend.
