Zampa Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Morning all, Apologies if covered elsewhere but couldn't find it. Played a few network games down the years and always had to use a third party server programme called Hamachi in order to link IPs with two freinds. Is this still the case or can I sinply set up a new game as a network game, invite my freinds and thats it! Please help. 😀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vara Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) you wont need hamachi anymore. FM links between steam and epic games fine. when you start a new game, make sure you press host online career and in preferences make sure the circled section is set to 'anyone' or 'friends only' your game should be visible in the game lobby for your friend to search for, or join off steam. i host a game with 9 other players through steam. i have mine set to viewable by anyone, but have it PW protected.

Zampa Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Superb mate thanks for that reply. Do you find any latency issues or longer response time on clicking through the menus etc.. or all good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vara Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 there'll be slight delays for the joiners, but if everyone has decent internet its not an issue. host wont experience any delays in screen load times. dont go too heavy on the DB size too, that'll of course increase load times.

Hi everyone, I did it correctly, as you recommanded, but the game is still not visible in the game lobby... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
