Can't see friend's servers or connect by IP


Recommended Posts

+1

 

I do not run a dedicated server. Just using my own PC to host a mission for 1 or 2 other players. Can setup the server and mission fine. Can enter myself but server doesn’t show nor does direct ip connecting work. My friend gets the message ‘server offline’.

 

Should I get an error message if my router blocks the port?

Should I get an error message if my router blocks the port?

 

Most routers dont block the port, but when they do receive packets for that port, they need to know to which Computer of your LAN it is meant to be sent .. this is called "port forward" and you need to configure your Router for it.
