3 Players on Same LAN

Postby GateKeeper » 18 Dec 2011, 13:34

We (3 friends and I) have been playing fine for a while now when each of us at our own homes.

Every three months we spend a extended weekend playing games at my house.

This morning we tried to load FAF: the one person who is away at his home can connect, no one local can connect.

Any ideas?

PS I have followed the Wiki and have changed the ports around as needed and set redirect rules in place.

fa.log shows it trying to connect to the machines on the right ports but times out.

Try this, your not the first and not the last. I have a feeling that the networking code in FA isnt great for this scenario.
