Nesplu Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) 1. Are you both running the same version? 2. Are you connecting from the same IP? Ie are you both connecting from the same LAN?Hello! In my case - we use the same LAN: 2 pc on 1 router. How can we play? Both can connect to other people's games, but can't connect to each other games Edited March 29, 2015 by Nesplu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Split this into a new topic as it's not the same issue.To connect to another player on the same LAN I believe you have to do a direct connection to the local IP (in other words, I don't think you can use the lobby in that case). Here's a guide for how to find it on Windows/Mac: http://lifehacker.com/5833108/how-to-find-your-local-and-external-ip-address (there's instructions for Linux as well in the comments in case you, or someone else reading this, needs to find it on Linux). The one who hosts should do that, and set up a game according to the instructions here: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Manual_SettingUpAGame#JoinorHost and then give the local IP found via the method above to the other player, who will enter it in the Join dialog in the Server Hostname or IP box.As far as I know that should work. I don't think you can connect to players outside of your local network at the same time as you're playing with someone on the same LAN though.
