Lan server does not work

[-VG- Napster]

It never shows up in the lan tab
if i change it to not use lan it shows up ........
i don´t get it

LAN servers = Local Area Network
Meaning if have 2 or more pcs on the same home network with the game. You can play MP through your home network rather than go online to play. Only real players from your home network will show up and/or AI if you choose to have them. If you don't want to play on home network and join MP public servers . Choose the internet option. And you will get everyone that is playing MP online and/or AI.
I hope this helps you

I've used the LAN option. I didn't have any problems with it :)

interessting i open up a lan server on the same machine as the game is running i cannot find it, as soon as i change the server config to show up online ( in config labeld "with steam ) it shows up without problems

I am not sure. I didn't have to change anything. Hopefully someone else with a similar problem can help you more. Wish you luck .

LAN not working on local ethernet !

IT Tech 40 years... Cant get 2-3 players working on LAN via Ethernet. I was seeing server last night on 3rd pc and this morning after update none can see each other, despite whose hosting. Same with firewall off on all. Used to work fine with 2 player now after i've payed for the 3rd copy it wont work. Was going to buy a 4th copy for my sons birthday party but not now.
Same machines will all connect to serves on internet
Very disappointed

LAN not working, anymore

Last week this hosting LAN worked like a charm but yesterday, I think it stopped work after newest patch/update came? Am I alone with this problem? I tested my computers with other game with LAN and no problem, so I am sure its this game :/ Help!

Yes, it's new bug that makes broadcast type of searching servers in same network subnet impossible. Option in server.cfg lan=1 or 0 does not make difference and seems broken anyway.

If you host server in your internal network and also have it visible for internet players by using port forwarding then if possible enable NAT loopback option for these portforwards, then you can see your local server in internet tab.

It must be fixed, Im waiting for a solution - it worked perfectly fine before last update. LAN broadcast needs fix!

Well then bring this up directly with the devs on Discord or their forum.

Based on our findings the LAN issue is caused by a bug recently introduced to Steam API and a resolution is in the works.

What this exactly means? The problem is still "under construction" or what?
