How to direct connect multiplayer?

[Lek]

i managed to do most of the game singleplayer but cant play multiplayer with friend in new world help would be apriciated. (i can't spell and i've tried the port with ip adress thing

[Lek]

The port thing is really confusing we tried with the correct port number and ip adress but some sort of error would occur. this happened in another game aswell. Apparently it has something to do with config files but also peer to peercomunication. im being sent mixed signals -_-

I do it with hamachi, you need to activate the P2P to do it. If you need more info tell me

how do you use hamachi for it because im not entirely sure how to connect using it

What kind of router do you have I can tell you how to set it up correctly.

I think a lot of the problems I had were time warner, they block a lot of inbound ports as I imagine other ISPs do.

I have been to different ISPs here in norway and none of them blocked ports. Even the latest ISP i got transmitts internett trough microwaves so i dont have a router with forwarding possabilities. But it is stil possible and easy as they even made a own website to forward the ports at the antenna.

Becasue, America. Everything here must be gimp in some way or another. Its the way of our people.

To bad the ISPs in america are so strict then... Our current ISP made an own website where the only thing you can do is to setup ports. And when the site bugged out/stopped worked they fixed it as soon i told them. And i have not yet talked to anyone with different isp's here where opening ports where not possible. Either you have fiber, ADSL line, microwaves (as me) it has always been possible one way or another and some of the isps are nicely able to help out explaining how. I didn't even think it was possible with my current ISP because we have this microwave antenna as told connected to an usual router via an ethernet cable. This means this router does not have port forwardings or anything. Then i went to ask my ISP and they told me about their custom made website just for port opening. Arent any of the ISPs in USA like this? that is a shame.

That's actually pretty interesting. If there are any ISPs around like that I dunno, Google Fiber may not care. Will you adopt me? I am being held here against my will.

Also i learned how to open ports several years ago, I thought it was hard as impossible without good computer experience (was at the time when i wanted to launch my first minecraft server when minecraft stil was alpha). We was used to hamachi but it stopped working several times and was like crap. So i decided to learn porting. When i first learned it i understood it was simply easy. Step 1: Log into router/modem. Step 2: Go streight to NAT settings. Step 3: Add the ports you want opened to the NAT rules. TCP/UDP both or whatever the game wiki says you should open. Then i went to a nice website where i both can get my ip and ping the server to see if the ports are opened (some game servers cant be pinged and give false allerts) so the most secure way to see if it works is to let your friends try joining for real. After that i have been opening ports more than i remember to setup various MP games.

Thats great and all but is there anything simple? i tried doing the port thing through a tutorial on youtube and i did everything correctly but it wouldn't work. HOW THE ♥♥♥♥ DO YOU ♥♥♥♥♥♥ DIRECT CONNECT. I DONT NEED THE SERVER ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Without portforwarding no one can connect, but joing in game is simple once its done. Once you hit join game in Factorio you put in the persons ip that is hosting the game followed by :34197. But as other people said ports need to be forwarded. If you cant do that using a third party program llike hamachi would be your best option. Im not 100% sure what you mean by direct connect. Maybe give me a bit more of an explanation?

Ive had no probelm connecting directly at all. Whoever is hosting the world needs to have port 34197 forwarded in their router for it to work.

American cable companies are knowns to be pretty nasty with what you do with the internet they "allow" you to use on top of TV.

Very much this, I used to have Clearwire aka. Clear (Sprint in the USA) as ISP ... they were actively degrading my internet connection whenever they detected me playing MineCraft, HLDM2, etc.
As in: I could connect and play but after a little while the whole server started lagging untill I removed myself from the game and everything was fine again for everybody else playing too at that time.

Worst part about this was that I was/am the one renting the dedicated server. :/

Anyhoo, I solved it by changing ISP, for less than half more of what I payed before I now have 50 times faster download speeds, still unlimited data, my upload speed is faster than the download speed I had before (!) and I can use the inernet as it was supposed to be used in the first place again.




@OP:

First, check the small print in your contract to see if your ISP wants to supports peer to peer at all; if they don't it for sure is not mentioned in the less small print and you're out of luck.

Secondly,
If you can not figure out opening ports by yourself ... call your ISP and ask for help ... that is what you are paying them for.

It's also kinda weird to hear about those ISP's in your countries where there is limited data. No ISPs as i know of do that in norway. We have only limited data on mobile phones but never internet for home use. the ISPs out there is really strict. I remember reading about a farm in america that had so bad ISPs they made their own ISP company providing internet via the same method i get internet here now (high speed microwaves) and then put these microwave antennas around on top of their silo providing it to the neightbors.

[Qlimax]

is the port set to UDP? check its forwarding to the right router address (such as 192.168.0.2) yours may be different use ipconfig to check

[mid endian]

check your internet security software, for myself I had to tell COMODO to allow network traffic through. pretty embarassing, but easy to forget.
