Would it be possible to add IPv6 support?

[GraveDigger]

Hey, I sadly can't host games as I only have a IPv6 address. It would be really great for me (and probably a lot of other germans, as Unitymedia doesn't light give IPv4 addresses away) if we could get some IPv6 support.

In other games (few) it works though, like the newer Paradox titles (EU4, CK2, Stellaris, etc.)

it should be supported, i mean ipv6 is a standard now...

RWR uses the UDP network library ENet which hasn't IPv6 support (yet).

So, does it depend on you or on the network library to add IPv6 support? And do you know any specifics about that "yet"?^^

it depends on the library we are using, we didn't write this library ourself. They are planning to add IPv6 support since a while, but not much has been done yet in that regard

In other words, RWR does not create computing protocals and architecture. They are game makers not UDP support library creators.

Alright, thank you. I hope it gets updated and implemented soon :)
