Direct play

Recommended Posts

We recently put a dedicated server on Direct Play. It runs great but there is one problem someone might be able to shed some light on.

When you click "Direct Play" then "Internet" to find servers using Direct Play the server shows up. But when you click on it, it always says "connecting failed", as well as all the other servers listed do. The only way to get there is to click "Direct Play", then "remote", then punch in the ip and then it will show up on the list again and when you click on it you go right in.

Why won't it do it the other way?

It sounds like the wrong IP address is being reported to the master server -- if your server is behind a firewall or NAT solution, that is probably why.

Well,

this must be a bug in 1.75 Resistance dedicated server.

Two 1.75 servers do currently show up with

Implementation:DirectPlay. I get "Connection Failed" for both

of them.

There were never any problems connecting to the server from the in-game-browser when the implementation was set to Sockets.

/Happy

PS. It also works fine with the IP address in the hosts file.

We care, we just don't like answering the same questions over and over and over when the person hasn't done a search themselves to find the answer, if they do a search and the answer is not there we help all we can (obviously we being Mr. Frag wink.gif) smile.gif

Bug confirmed in both 1.75 and 1.85. It will be fixed in the next patch.

I was speaking in general, this as far as I was aware was a question not answered anywhere else thus the thread remained open smile.gif
