RA 3 LAN COOP CAMPAIGN CANT PLAY

[sand forge]

RA3 VIA STEAM + TACITUS

Hello there, im from argentina, i have the next issue.
I have a local router in my house + another router to my room, i had to connect the port 1 from the main router to my router and port 2 directly to my pc. And i can play LAN.
BUT, i tested everything (open ports in my main router, deactivating firewall, settings differents CDKEYS from any pcs via STEAM (i had to configure it locking the CDKEYS, else we saw %cdkey% and had Issues)
Just one time i could play, hotsposting with cellphone in my room pc, config options.ini setting set delay in both pc. Port = 16000
FirewallPortOverride = 16000
GameSpyIPAddress = My ipv4 (From data cellphone)
IPAddress = Same case

The another pc on the main router had the same config, but with its IPV4 and we could play CO OP ONLINE.

I commit an error, i wanted to avoid some ping and download hamachi, pretending that i will have another IPV4 and simulate that we are not on local.

The error bad connection 1-2

No mods/tweaks/patches/map packs

Any helps?

First, please avoid CAPSLOCK usage, thanks 😉

are you two on the same network white trying to play coop?

[sand forge]

yes, we use te same network, but, i hotspoted with data on my cellphone and we could play together.
Problem? Ping Issues
I tried using hamachi simulating different ip (on the same network) but didnt work and then we never will play again in coop
In this days i will try again hotspoting but from 0. reinstalling, removing cdkeys

Please don't use the hotspot

also, don't use hamachi, it is very hold

My advise, the one hosting the match should use a VPN. The game has a stupid limitation where the players can't be on the same network, a VPN circumvents this
