Windows LAN Hosting Instructions
- Make sure you and a friend are on the same WIFI network.
- Find your IP Address in IPv4 format.
- If you already know your current IP address, you may skip this step.
- Click the "Find IP" button in game to display addresses that the game was able to find.
- Isolate the correct address.
- The correct address will likely start with 192 if you are on home WIFI or 10 if you are on school WIFI. 155 may also be correct.
- You may also type "ipconfig" into Windows Command Prompt to help isolate the address.
- For more information, see the Reserved IP Addresses Wikipedia page.
- Host the game.
- If prompted, allow Windows to create a local server on the port.
- After gaining control of your character, have your friend enter your IP addresses and click join.
- Troubleshooting
- If the connection was not created, then there is either an issue with the IP address or the port.
- To view available ports on your computer, type "netstat -aon" into Windows Command Prompt. Scroll to the top of the output to find a "Listening" port with an address that starts with 0.0.0.0. Enter the number that follows these 0s into the "Port#" in game before hosting and before joining.
- If there is still an issue, try isolating a different IP address.
