Concon1 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) My friend and i have this game, both on Mac, i have Snow Leopard and he has Lion, the game works we can play offline skirmishes against AIs.BUT, we cant seem to connect to each others servers, well we actually dont know how to set up a server, we can host game, but the other cant join.I read something about the port 20595, i have port forwarded that and gave my friend the IP but he still couldnt join.Can someone please give me a simple (no technical stuff) answer on how we can join each other.Thanks.-PS this game is awesome. Love it. Edited May 12, 2012 by Concon1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Just to get the absolute basic things out of the way: are you 100% sure it's an external IP and not an internal? (I.e. one that can be accessed from the internet and not just via a network.)Have you both allowed 0 A.D. to connect to the internet in any possible firewalls/antivirus programs etc?

Concon1 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 yes its an external IP, ive had experience with Minecraft servers and my own server (people could join) its definatly my external IP.My Firewall is turned on and allowed 0 A.D. to access incoming connetions.

feneur Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Do either of you get any error messages? If so, could you please post them here?Also, are you using the same version of the game? I.e. are you either both using the Alpha 9 version, or the same SVN version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concon1 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 we didnt get any error messages, just said connecting to server and didnt connect, it could do it for days and wouldnt connect.i downloaded the game a day before him only a few days ago so it is the latest and same, as for SVN i dont know what that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concon1 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 we tried again today, i tried my IP with :20595 on the end after it was port forwarded and it said (on his screen) failed to connect to server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 we tried again today, i tried my IP with :20595 on the end after it was port forwarded and it said (on his screen) failed to connect to server.You haven't mentioned your friend's firewall or router, can you confirm those are also allowing 0 A.D. to make a connection? You appear to have done everything correctly at your end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concon1 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 ill ask him to allow his firewall to allow 0 A.D. to make connections and add it to the list, he might not even have his firewall turned on, i know i didnt have it turned on.

Kupcake_King Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Can this game cross platform connect to servers? Ive tried it on my friends mac at his house and we could connect the macs but on my gateway he cannot connect to my server, are we just doing something wrong?

quantumstate Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 The game can connect cross platform. I don't know of any bugs in the network connectivity area so it is probably worth checking how you try to set up the connection. Check things like firewalls and port forwarding if you are connecting over the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
