LAN with no Internet?

[Sikri]

I am on really bad Internet at the moment, and neither of us can stay well connected. Is there a way to play LAN without relying on a decent Internet connection?

Once all of you are connected and verified to steam you should be able to play without internet connection on LAN by connecting to the host/servers IP number manualy (type in the bottom).

There is a section in the "Connect to Server" that is relevant to LAN games. So if one of you starts and host a SurvivalMP game, opened to 2 players tops (or 4 if you're that many in the house at that time), you should all see it in there. So IP input is not necessary.

Make sure to password protect it though - especially if you allow cheats (dm, cm commands).

Thank you! We got it working

If they play off-line they dont have to worry about ransoms coming in.. :)

If their internet stinks and they are "offline" due to bad connection, maybe not, but by default - a SurvivalMP game appears in the Server list nonetheless. So better be safe than sorry.

Sorry to necro but I need to know what you mean by Connect to Server. Because when offline but connected to a router, you cannot Join A Game and access any of the other options.
