Unable to play multiplayer from 2 pc's in same house! | Forums

[SOG-Phantom]

I'm unable to play multiplayer because me and my brother both play the game.
As soon as one of us joines a game the other one will be kicked out.

I gues this is because i can only forwart the TCP/UPD ports to 1 pc.

Anyone has a solution for this???

Ideally if we had the freedom to play LAN Offline Multiplayer unranked mode without needing an internet connection and uplay
Then it should be possible to play 4 player offline LAN coop , 4 player offline LAN gorilla , 8 player offline LAN conflict .

If you use an Hardware ADSL Modem+Router with NAT+SPI firewall then I suggest uninstalling/disabling software firewalls on all pcs.
Make sure the ports are forwarded on the Modem+Router or the Modem+Router is setup for UPNP mode.

Best bet would be setup a party (Thats if the friends system actually works still) and create a party unranked session of coop/gorrila/conflict.

Hey, thats the problem, you all use a computer and you will all fix problems by open ports shurtdown tthe firewall and ubisoft engage an opera singer named Guillotine to jamming and whining about hackers ( the thing that cuts heads off at french revolution18th century ), if the game needs a port it has to tell the OS to open it with a declaration of its interests and rights ( for Hardware there is a logo test ) you use a computer in the 21th century I dont know what the f***** you want do yourself these things you should game here nothing more and game is not possible. dont "fix" it yourself, please.

I would say you should try to update your routers firmware first and see if the problem is resolved.

If that doesn't work, then you could forward ports to one machine and set the other machine in the DMZ of the router. You should google DMZ to understand the ramifications of doing this. You may only want to setup the machine in the DMZ for game sessions.

But seriously, start with updating your router firmware. Its a little network computer and a software update for it may resolve the problem. I can play with a roommate (2 pc's at same locations) and we dont do any portforwarding.

I have to say...this is appalling! I *was* going to get two more copies of GR:FS to play when family and friends come over but it if the game does not work behind NAT, then to heck with that. What year are we in again...2012?

Well, some much for the additional sales Ubi!
