RA1 new lobby: cannot play with two PCs from one houshold in same game

[FoutVarken]

Hi,

 

We play RA1 with multiple PCs from one household. In the new lobby, when a second player joins the same game, the first is thrown out.

Is there a solution for this?

Are you guys using CnCNet? And if so, what version?

[FoutVarken]

Hi,

Yes we use cncnet. The version that comes with the full RA installer.

Where can I see the version number that you want to know?

In the CnCNet-Settings window I see:

 

CnCNet 4.0

git~eedb49

choose LAN at the login screen in the new lobby

Hi,

 

We don't want to play LAN. We want to join online games with multiple players.

In the old lobby that is possible.

ah okay, well that doesnt work yet in the new lobby but there is already a plan for it, hope it will be working soon.. until that you guys gotta play in the old lobby or one of you needs to mask his ip with a vpn, i use www.anchorfree.com to do that in the new lobby!

If you're trying to do that. You have to change the game port so they're different on each computer. Then forward both of those ports, and then you should be able.

@funkyfr3sh

Thanks for the info. We wait until it is supported and use the old lobby until then.

 

@ferret

When we use the old lobby we use the slow connection. I've read that cncnet does not support changing the port number. Only one PC can work with a forwarded UDP port. If this information is incorrect, let me know.
