Hammerwatch Discussion / Connection Inquiry
« on: October 10, 2014, 01:40:21 AM »
Dear Game Devs,

I bought hammerwatch for my macbook last month to play with a friend. In order to host, I have assigned my macbook a static ip and have done port forwarding (9995). I know my port forwarding is successful based on the software Simple Port Tester for macs.

When I set up a game lobby, my friend can join my game through steam friends list or manually putting in my public ip address in Join Game. But the problem is that he cannot join my game through the list of servers which means people who are only looking through the list will not be able to join my game unless they know my ip address and manually input ip address in the Join Game section. My ping also does not show up for my friend.

I tried joining other games on that list that does not show a ping and it turns out I can only join games that show a ping. There are quite a number of games with no pings on that list. I am asking for an option to maybe filter out games with no pings or better yet, a solution to the former problem.

For now, as a work around I am putting my public ip address in the title of the game I host in hopes of people figuring it out and manually inputting in the public ip address in order to join my game.

Thanks for your time and for reading this and have a great one.  ;)
