When i host a private match, my friends usually get a "steam connection failed" ERROR. What I have to do? Do i need the dedicated server tool?

Are you making for LAN or WAN?

And what have you done so far? Have you forwareded ports? If not forward port 28960.

I'm trying to play LAN, i just open my client and type in the console connect "ip" to join the private match hosted by another computer. Do I nedd hamachi or something to make it work?

And, i can join (or they can), but after a few minutes the error occours.

You friends and you use the FourDeltaOne client?

There is some legacy client (which i am not going to name now) you know?

Well when i where making one for a LAN i just did this:

 

Open Run -> cmd -> ipconfig

 

 

Find " IPv4 " And take that ip and give it to your friend!

 

Then your friend use the command in console: connect IP

He's asking a legitimate question. Some legacy clients do not support private match connection to fourDeltaOne users.

Excuse me, didin't know about that legacy thing. After all, no, we are all using 4d1 clients (we are 2 in the same house using the lan).

And if you take the IPv4 ip from your pc and give it to your friend then it works!

 

And if it don't start the game and try the same command while you ( As host ) are ingame

Ok, next we'll set up a private match i'll take a look to console after they get steam error, and i'll ask them to take a look too.

AND, i don't remember if i've already written this, we adre doing exaclty as s1mon explained.
