HOSTING MULTIPLAYER

[Cesare]

How do you make the MP work, me and my friends have been trying to join each others games all day and it will not load, what are we doing wrong????

[Evoro]

Had the same issue, a friend of mine tries to join a multiplayer session and just gets a "Can't connect to session" error. No idea what's going wrong as we haven't modified the game in any way and have kept the same settings since before the update.

Seems the update broke a lot of stuff. Any ideas?

[»NoNick«]

I have the same problem. My friend can't connect with me unless i choose new game, if I load a saved game he cannot connect. But even if we choose a new game and create our characters, the game crashes for me as a host after starting the game. I just bought the game, so I can't tell if it's the update that causes these issues.

since this evening we are also having problems

[Swagrath]

Works fine for me, had it been working for you before?

[Dawi-Zhar/Shanks]

Its a on going issue for good while, in all the games.

yea i spent this eening trying to connect myself, i did port forwarding, but the game has other issues also, i hope they adess them, like performance and bugs where you get stuck behind a closed door......but at least i am able to connect to online games so maybe it works for some of you to

but try this link , look for the post with port list

to be honest im kinda sick of his portforwarding in games, dont really get why some games need it and others wrk just fine

I'm also having problems with this no luck on finding a solution i'll try to do that port forwarding. The games that have ports that need forward are for games that don't have dedicated servers to host. The port has to be forwarded on the host network because they are hosting all the data/ minecraft/ terraria. Vs games that pay extra to host games on dedicated servers / league/ CoD. This is the first article i've found that even makes mention of port forwarding is there any official guide by beamdog on setting up MP?

I try to do that port forwarding but it doesn't work. Any solution :'( ?

Been trying to play with someone and it seems to work randomly. Often times one of us crash, but after reconnecting x number of times it works.

[David Lo Pan]

I have the same problem... It's impossible to host or join a MP...

[EleCtRicJeSUs]

Ok, this is just silly. If they release an updated game on Steam of all places, the multiplayer should work...Which it does not. This is insanely frustrating since this is the main reason we picked up the game. They talked of cross platform play...we can't even play same platform! Is this an issue they will resolve or tell us how to fix or what.

[Ricepuff]

Well i'm annoyed they better fix this soon

[MentalRobot]

how are people still in games...? it worked last night

[Testsubject32]

So the port forwarding thing didn't work. I also turned off my firewall to see if that was the problem didn't work. I also DMZed the host IP which opens all the ports or close to it and that iddn't work. I sent an email to beamdog support this morning no reply yet. I would consider sending one the more complaints they get the more likely they are to respond. I'm out of ideas I used to use game ranger for multiplayer on this game but it doesn't work on the Enhanced version. I'm out of ideas... must be on their end.

I just fixed it!!!! the port forwarding worked! you have to select 'local network game' or w/e when the host creates it! and then give them your IP!
