Hey all.... New player here.
I created a server for myself and my mate to race on.... Server starts fine and I can join it no problem. My mate can see the server but it doesn't respond to him past asking for a password..
I know I had to forward some ports to get the server running.... Question is does he have to open the same ports..... Apologies.... Lifelong console player so a bit clueless about this.
Other than that the game is blowing my mind... Yeah the graphics are a little dated but the driving feel and immersion are the best I've ever used.
Any help would be appriciated

#

Also we were both able to join another server.... Weird

Hopefully @potent meteor ? I'm guessing as I can join the server and get to the track the server is set up correctly but I may be wrong.

#

@potent bane could you give that a go whenever you have a sec

Lol... Wow good stuff... I get tired driving to work lol

#

is all about forwarding ports (i always suggest to go both instead of TCP and UDP indications) and remembering about the option "allow players to join in qualifying".

#

with that, if others can join but you don't you have a connection issue with the loopback... but is configured ok

#

if you can join... then everything is perfect

#

have fun!
