Hi all,

Heres the thing. I can't join `net servers because I'm behind a [Linux] firewall. So, the other day I create an internal LAN server, and check 'List in lobby', because the other guy on my lan can't seem to list it. It didn't show up on his computer anyway, so we thought it didn't matter. Halfway through the game, an internet player joins. It took me a few seconds to realise, but oddly enough, a few internet players started joining, and weren't dropping off. When I try to join a game, however, I can join and walk around, but after a few seconds, it just stops.
What sort of network architecture does Soldat use?! Firewalled, I can't join an external server, yet external players can join my game?!


(Not really a support message, but a discussion on Soldat's networking)

Cheers for now

I think the problem you're having is joining dedicated server... firewall's have that problem, if ya run a search through the forums for "router" and "can't join" and "server", you should be able to figure out how to fix that :p (Something about setting Compression=0 in soldat.ini - might wanna, as I said, check up on that first :p)

Hey shouldn't this be on server corps?[^]

That only helps if you create the game
