Gonzoreader Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) I love this game so much, I bought it for my wife so we could play on a lan together. She cant connect. I really dont understand why. Ive changed switches, i can ping her computer fine. Ive let vintage story through both of our firewalls. I did port forwarding for port 42420 to try and open a public server, but it would either say my router didnt have UpnP enabled (it does) or that it couldnt connect to the master server. If anyone has advice or suggestions, Im open to it. UPDATE: figured it out, I had disabled the block rules on my firewall but i had to go and create new allow rules for the public profile. I feel dumb lol, but to be fair it shouldnt be this involved to set up a server imo. Also the LAN connection still isnt working, only the public advertised server ip works, but im sure it has something to do with my end. Hope this maybe helps someone in the future.

dakko Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 I would love to see an answer for this too. Granted we're not very tech savvy, but DH and I could not get it to work either (even with help from discord members, although that was several years ago with much fewer players than now). Fingers crossed that someone has a solution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDTheOG Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Make Sure UPNP is enabled in your router. Should be by default but some don't somtimes. but also if you're connecting to LAN, she needs to type in your Local IP address in the address when adding the Multiplayer Server. I'm also going to assume she is within the same LAN network as you and she isn't at another building or something. Open your single player game press ESC and hit "Open to LAN". after that. have her connect to your Local IP address. should be something along the lines of 192.168.x.xxx Hope this helps.

LCDTheOG Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Do you use anything unique on your network because. I'm having 0 issues doing everything I posted in the previous message. the only thing left is either something is on your network like a firewall, or one of the end points is refusing to connect to either.

Sabrium48 Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 If her Computer has an Anti-Virus running in the Background, have her try shutting it off and then try to connect. I know it sounds weird, but this was the Issue I was having with Kaspersky while trying to connect to my Wife's Server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
