HapiJuice 10 Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Okay, so my girlfriend and I live in the same house and go through the same router to play. We tried to join our first game together today and she got in and was playing and when I joined, My game crashed and in game it said something along the lines of my steam ticket check had failed. Is there a way that we can be recognized as different IPs even though we are in the same network? I have a 2wire router/modem and it sucks. I have already forwarded my ports on this computer (port 2302). I'm not quite sure what to do now to get it so we both can play on the same server. If I can change the port that the game uses, I can port forward the different ports for the computers and hopefully that would solve this. But I don't know how to change the port. If anyone knows, please let me know Edited May 23, 2013 by HapiJuice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jxjcksn 1 Posted May 23, 2013 Hey HapiJuice, We will need some more information to help you .. but also please search through the forums for your "Steam Ticket Check" issue. I can see from a quick browse myself that there is an issue related to what you have experienced. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154590-Player-x-kicked-off-Steam-ticket-check-failed-(null)&highlight=steam+ticket+check Also ... even though you go through the same router .. your PC's will have different IP addresses on your network through your router. If you start cmd and use ipconfig /all (on each PC) you should see the different addresses to confirm this ! My house has 3 PC's, 3 individual Steam accounts, 3 copies of Arma and all go through the same router ... and connect to games fine. If you started the game on your PC and your Girlfriend joined from another PC .. then port forwarding is not your problem. Try and create a control scenario to eliminate if it is an individual PC problem. I presume you have 2 individual copies of Arma3 ??? Are you talking about a game YOU host or is it an external Multiplayer game ? Are you both running same version ? Stable / Dev Build ? Are either of you running any mods ? 1. Start PC 1 and join an External Multiplayer Game - See if it runs ok. 2. Shut down that ... Start PC 2 and join same External Multiplayer Game - If Still ok then 3. Start Both PC's and try and join same External Multiplayer game together. Repeat process on a game you host and get your Girlfriend to join over your LAN rather than internet to see if this throws up any flags. Again, check through the forums and please submit any further information you can. I don't think you have an IP or a port problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HapiJuice 10 Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) jxjcsn, Yes we do have 2 individual copies of Arma 3 and we are trying to join an external multiplayer server. I just tried to play on a different server while she was on a different one and it let me in just fine. I also looked at that ticket check post before I posted and concluded that I got that error for a different reason. We are both on the stable build and we are not running any mods. I will try to have her join a local game over LAN and let you know how it turns out. I'm also thinking that the server we are trying to join is seeing that there are multiple connections coming from the same IP and rejecting them. If that was the case, why would I be getting the ticket check failed? Edited May 23, 2013 by HapiJuice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HapiJuice 10 Posted May 24, 2013 Okay, so I have solved the problem. For one of the computers, use a different port in the launch options for the game. add "-port=2350" without quotes to the launch parameters of the game and it should work. It worked for us! How to access the launch parameters for steam: Right click on your Arma 3 alpha in your games library and select properties. Under the general tab, click the "set launch options" button and enter "-port=2350" without quotes and hit okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
