aaman 0 Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Before i could host a game just pressing the new game button in multiplayer mode, and become a dedicated server. Now i cant even find the server/host in LAN mode. Whats going on? (I have windovs vista, before i had windows XP) And before i had GOLD edition, now i think i have GOTY edition, or No.1 bestseller edition. Updated it to 1.96 GOTY. Without any updates before. I can join other servers without problem. Edited November 19, 2010 by aaman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ww2weasel 10 Posted November 20, 2010 Have you tried the sockets and direct play options? Is your port 2302 - if not perhaps change. switched to internet to see if other servers populate. Can your friends ping your machine/IP Address? Do you have a router setup maybe a firewall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can your friends ping your machine/IP Address? Do you have a router setup maybe a firewall? I disconect the router, and turn off the firewall, first LAN worked good. Nothing work on the internet beside the remote, where i have to write the IP ??.???.??.??? and port as you said 2303. The problem now is, if you dont know the IP you cant join. It was not like this before, i remember i just had to create a new game and lots of players would join the game. Edited November 20, 2010 by aaman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zulu1 145 Posted November 20, 2010 @ww2weasel I can host using sockets, never tried direct play. @aaman The problem now is, if you dont know the IP you cant join.It was not like this before, i remember i just had to create a new game and lots of players would join the game. Since I have been hosting missions for OFP this has been true. In ARMA/A2 any host shows up in gamespy and players can connect to your host without using IP. Perhaps prior to 1.96 patch players could see your host in gamespy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aaman 0 Posted November 21, 2010 Not sure, maybe it was before 1.96... The new thing with Arma is just that you can join when game is going on. Im sure it was the same like in arma, just that you have to wait on all players just like now. One problem was ofqourse many servers shut down in game before the game was finnished, different reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
