coupe73v Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hey Folks. My cousin and I each purchased DCS A-10 from Steam for the purpose of doing some multiplayer co-op flying. We tried to setup a multiplayer game and were unable. I attempted to use the "new server" option, but he was unable to see me. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what a new server is. I assumed it was like hosting a game. Are our only options to set up a dedicated server or to find one that someone else created? Is there somewhere I can find more info on how to setup a multiplayer game? I didn't see much info in the manual. Any help appreciated. Thanks Coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ_BPK Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi coupe73v When i host a server i do the following (Example with my own settings): 1. Start up DCS World Multiplayer and login. 2. On the first screen you choose "Internet" and click "New Server" 3. On second screen you choose/type "Server Name", "Server Type", "Interface" (Local IP), "Port", "Players Up To" and "Password" (if needed). Select the multiplayer mission you want to fly, and press "Start" 4. The server needs to be fully started before it shows up in the list over multiplayer servers and other players can join the server. Hope this was helpful?

Jona33 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 You need to open some ports I think before your server will show. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quax456 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 You have to open the PORT 10308 in the windows firewall and in your Router for incoming connections.

Soulres Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 make sure both of your copies are up to date,make sure your connecting using each others' IP example bein 192.168.1.110, also make sure to have the person connecting wait till you start the server before they even begin to startup their Client.the refresh button needs some tweakin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 And don't give up, when the server is not showing up immediately after launching. A friend of mine and I have the problem, that I see his server randomly when pushing the get new list button. That can endure up to 5min and many times pressing that button but that works even better than connecting via IP, which says: unable to connect in about 80% of the cases.
