Unable to make games in WormNET

[Vaxen]

I used to be able to host games without any issue on WormNET in #PartyTime. Now all of a siudden I can't seem to be able to do so. People can't join my game.

What should I do? How can I fix this? I disabled my firewall, forced my IP, it still won't work. Please help !

Thanks !

Do you have any firewall software? Could be it's detected the recent WA.exe update and decided it's something fishy. If you have a firewall, try deleting any exceptions you might have made for WA.exe from its config, and then host another game to let the exception be re-created.

I only have Windows Defender and Windows' basic firewall. I disabled it and it still doesnt work.

I really don't understand why I can't. I didn't need to port foward before or do anything before

Hmm, Worms Armageddon has always required port forwarding to host. Perhaps in the past you had the WormNAT2[worms2d.info] WormKit module, which automatically tunnels your hosted games through a proxy? Or perhaps you used HostingBuddy in the past?

game was just updated so that probably has something to do with it. not sure if nat2 still works but if it doesnt then youd need to forward ports

Have a look at the hosting guide for instructions for how to set up hosting:

OH

Yeah I think I did have that. I reinstalled my PC a couple months ago after an upgrade. I absolutely forgot about that. Just reinstalled it. Will try it tomorrow again or so.
