Cant join game together with the same ip

Postby DukeNukem » 04 Mar 2017, 22:03

Hi all,
me and my son playing FAF, so sometimes we want to play together,
but its impossible because we dont have conn to each other.
I think its happens due we have the same ip, because connect to WAN
throw the router. Is there the solution of this problem ?

There are two things you can try:

1) Have one of the connections use the relay. This means one of your clients should have UPNP turned off and no ports forwarded.

2) To try direct connection, make sure you forward different ports and set those ports in the client

Sadly, having two clients on the same LAN is not properly supported by FAF yet.
