Look for a line that says "IPv4 Address." at the end of that line will be a number (such as "10.0.0.8" or "196.0.0.9" as examples) which will be the LAN address for the host, that is the IP number you enter on the client to join the game on the host. In that type "ipconfig" and it will display some text. If you don't know the IP address for the Host on the LAN do the following. Not knowing what the Host's IP address is. Problems you may encounter is different game versions not working well or at all with others.įirewalls blocking the program from connecting, on either the host or client side. From there it should attempt to connect and join the game instance on the host. It may also ask for a password, which you may have set on the host. Here you will have to enter the IP of the computer hosing the game and a port (leave the port on a default value if you haven't changed it when creating the host). Then on any other computer on the network that wants to join, open the game and look for a multiplayer/join game option. Open the game and choose to host/create a multiplayer game (this will be called the Host/Server computer), entering any details it requests. Without getting into a GOG vs Steam thing, or how much a developer decides to support one or the other (which seems to be the real issue here since Galaxy), this should help you get going with some multiplayer over a LAN. Yet, the GOG version requires Port forwarding and/or a separate application to do basically the same thing. Why do we have to do a complicated process to play the game multiplayer? I know this has been brought up a ton in the past, but now this is more of a sticking point with me, as Steam has an easy way to play with your people on your friends list. Txsizzler: We play through a wireless router (Netgear 7000).
So while the current set up on GOG isn't ideal, they could use some slack.
#Free port forwarding terraria update
Plus there are only 2 to 3 guys who currently do the coding on the game(previously it was just Red and he was pulling 72 hour days when working on the updates) and they just spent the better part of a year working their asses off to get this update done and working on the Mac and Linux ports. So it may be hard to set it up so that GOG users can play with Steam users using this method. It may take sometime though since one of the features of Galaxy's multiplayer API is the ability to play with those who use Steam and how the Steamworks multiplayer in 1.3 currently works is you or someone else sets up their world and handles hosting duties and the persons joining click "join" on the hosts profile. sadly the devs weren't able to add Galaxy.api multiplayer features like they did with the Steam version for 1.3 for a few reasons but the big one was probley they probley didn't have access to the API till late in the updates development, now that doesn't mean they won't once they get the bugs in 1.3 straightened out and the Mac and Linux ports squared away.
