Hello all, recently I made a multi-player game for me and my friend, and when I went to host a server, people could join in but they could not spawn into the game, they kept getting the message saying waiting for players.

Has anybody ran into this and is there a way to circumvent this?

Thanks.

Yeah, I've had this problem before, too. Were you and your friend playing the game in the same house? Most of the time, the game wont work when both players have the same IP Address. Did both of you guys try to host it? Try putting a wire whisk on your Wi-fi Adapter, it'll speed things up, lol... seriously. One more thing, I recommend you don't use light-maps for online games, it just slows things down... turn the ambience up all the way and the game will still look fine.

Cheers mate

Only the host needs to forward port 2303, which I assume he did.

My friends said with light mapping when they connected to my server, everything was smooth sailing.

I will check to make sure my ports are forwarded, I have them forwarded for Garry's Mod though. I assume 2303 is for the begining port, what should I put as the end port? As well as should I be setting it to udp, or both? I forget the other option.



Thanks.


Edit: Oh, and yes I made the game fully in MP mode, I did not switch between SP and MP.

the end port should also be 2303 (at least that's what worked for me)
