fitness88 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 At the bottom of the Multiplayer window there is a button 'New Server'. I opened it and set up a server but I don't see it listed in the Server Name/Mission name of the Multiplayer window. How do I get people to see my server name and mission name so they can join? Thank you.

I see there is a lot more to do than I thought. I'll do some reading and see how it goes.

ilikepie Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 You can host from your game machine but you still need to open ports and allow through firewall. the router needs to know what to do with the incoming info (your friend) and where to send it. otherwise it is rejected and there is a connection timeout.

OK thanks for that info.
