Can't play Wreck fest with friends

[ottociruzzi]

Hello a week ago with a friend we bought the Wreckfest but we have a problem that every time we invite each other to play, steam tells us that the server does not respond and we can not play, does anyone help me? Thank you!!

The host of the game has to open certain port ranges friends can see the game and join.

Joining the game via steam will still not work in this game tho, but you can find your friend's games via the friends tab in the in-game server browser.

The port ranges to open are as follows:

27014-27016 TCP/UDP
33539-33541 UDP

You have to access your Router's configuartion interface via your browser and open the port ranges I described. This is also called port forwarding.

Port forwarding looks different depending on what Router you got. So best way to figure out how it works for your router is to google "[your router model here] port forwarding" or look it up in your router's manual if you got one.

Oh and this is only needed if you want to host your own games. I think if you and your friends all just want to join the same server, you can just use the friends tab in the in game browser.

There is a pinned thread on forum main page on how to set up a server. ;)

in the page of my router what appears to me related to this is an option called applications and gaming and within this option I see several options related to opening a server, I put the one that says port range forwarding in which I asked :
start port (I put 27014), end port (I put 27016), ip adress (the ip of my pc), protocol (tcp), then add another similar tab and place the following data: start port (33539), end port (33541), ip adress (pc ip), protocol (udp). I put something wrong? because my friend can not see me yet, so we can not play
