Re: Why can't we team up with friends for multi-player? Why no text chat?

Bump.  is there maybe a firewall option,  Some setting we need to change?

We can each play online without issues.

We can both host and join each others Garden Ops games, just not the other games modes, Gardens and graveyards etc.

    If you're playing from the same internet (house)

    Go into your router and try Disabling UPnP.

    If that doesn't cut, try in windows too:

    "services.msc"
    "UPnP Device Host" -> "Stop service".
    "SSDP Discovery" -> "Stop service".
    control panel-> Network and Internet-> Network and Sharing Center-> Change advanced sharing settings-> "network discovery" turn off network discovery
    ---------

    I don't know if it works for this game but you can try adding this argument to the launch of the game:
    +clientport 2xxxx ((number between 20000-29999))

    Make each computer different.

    (still have not heard from anyone if this even works, I don't think it does, it's all UPnP)

  • That worked (UPNP on router)

    Thanks very much 😕mileyvery-happy:
