AAAAA Posted Sunday at 11:45 Report Share Posted Sunday at 11:45 Hi I used 25565 port, and could create a new account in Multiplayer ----> Game Lobby and enter and also use "join games" option. But "Join Game" option from main menu still doesn't work. I receive "failed to connect to the server". My question is: The option "Join Game" from main menu does the same job as "Join Game" inside lobbies? Are they the same or different? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted Monday at 13:37 Report Share Posted Monday at 13:37 No they are not the same. One allows you to directly connect to a host without the lobby while the other allows you to connect via the lobby. The problem you have is that the person you are trying to connect to is blocking you through firewall or because they have a symmetrical network EDIT: See also https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/FAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAAAA Posted Tuesday at 23:26 Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 23:26 Hi That problem still is there. I was going to ask you is it possible that we play it on our own server? I mean do you allow us legally do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean do you allow us legally do it? The game is P2P so you technically always play on your own server. That's written in the FAQ did you read it ? You can play in LAN if your friend comes over and connects to your Wi-Fi you just need to get his IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAAA Posted 8 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Hello Thanks for guide. we can't play on lan from different cities, what we need is to abe able to play through our own VPS, but don't know how to setup or which files must be edited and set for our VPS. (I also can't play online some other games like "stormgate" or "Empyrion - Galactic Survival" ... through internet ) Again thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperion Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Lobby games are also just lan games in essence, the only difference is that the needed address gets passed to others via a neat ui. The lobby also adds some mechanisms to allow some additional network setups to work, like firewall puching / stun. As a bonus you get a chat and a ranking bot. I'm pretty sure you don't want to setup your own lobby but you could, the code and instructions is at https://github.com/0ad/lobby-infrastructure If you create a lan game it means 0ad on your computer will listen on the specified port for connections. Everyone around the globe that can connect to you computer will be able to join that game. How to make your computer reachable from the internet typically means adding portforwarding to your router and configuring the firewall. But even then, due to IP4 starvation your ISP might make it virtually impossible to get it working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
