only one of my 2 friends Im playing with can host we did everything the same. all of us downloaded all the files and changed the ip of our own servers to our IP (from hamachi) added firewall ports so we can play solo as well. We can connect to one friend no problem but when he is at work the other dude cant join me and I cant join him. It says Deafult server "spt-aki" is not avaliable in launcher.

~~"issue resolved thanks ! : )" ~~- worked for about 1 minute than launcher crashed and now on step one again ...

From the start.
Who is hosting the server.
Let's say player A
How does player B connect to the server ?
slate sky
player A hosts and launches the game , so he is in no problem and can start a raid and what not, player B is stuck at step one so he cant even get trough launcher xD
it says connecting... and than a red line Deafult server "SPT-AKI" is not avaliable.

Yea, so how does player B connect to player A ?
Is it by WAN IP with portforward or is it in the same VPN network ?
slate sky
VPN network "hamachi"
it works when player C hosts somehow. than player A and B can join no problem but player A nor B can host themselves. as in They can host "signleplayer" sessions but B-C player cnat join them
we all set it up the same way ...
and yes we used OUR ips for Hosting and used Hosts ip when joining xD

Start Aki.Launcher.exe and click 'Settings'
In the URL field, change it to reflect your VPN IP. Using the example in step 5 it would be: http://20.20.56.73:6969 (remember to remove any trailing forward slashes /)
Start the game, and once your account is created set both Force IP and Force Bind IP to your personal VPN IP.
wait, from the launcher alreayd
slate sky
Yes we did that : D
for some odd reason it worked for about a plit secodn and than nothing again
i tried to force bind my ip he tried his ip
twilit haven
That's why I hate those hamacchi thingie
slate sky
should one of us try to force the other ones ip ?
twilit haven
Client side everyone should use that
slate sky
the redmin or whatever works basically the same from what i can tell so far
mortal musk
it all works the same yes
force/binding won't do anything if someone can't make it into the server
slate sky
now we are just expreimenting and goofing around trying every possible combination
slate sky
oh damn didnt try that ... it timed out
twilit haven
xD
slate sky
yeah so inbound traffic blocked ...
but at the same time it says ok sooo ... this is weird
OK i think i can work with this this should be fixable imma get to you back when it works
twilit haven
I believe
