pls help me

im trying to play custom zombies with my friend but its not working any ideas

[Dss0]

funkalicious private match? Check this guide out: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/6975/custom-games-with-friends

If it's a custom map your friend also needs to download and install that map. The host of the match then needs to load a mod so custom maps work: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/9341/how-to-load-mods-custom-maps-on-your-client

Dss0 you are awesome for trying to help and thank you but I tried all of these steps and guides and none worked maybe can you give me a guide on how to make a server with a custom map that only me and my friends can play? thank you for your time

[funkalicious]

Dss0 or could you just give me another way to play/host a normal map with my friend other than double clicking on their name?

funkalicious you can either host a custom game or a dedicated server but a dedicated server is harder than private game and you can't host a dedicated server if you can't host a custom game

Having trouble hosting a custom game either means the host did something wrong or has something still blocking the connection (firewall, antivirus firewall etc.)
Make sure you follow the Custom game with friends guide correctly and check your router/firewall/antivirus firewall to see if something could be blocking the connection.

The 2 ways you can be joined is either by double clicking on the host name in Friends list when he's in-game or by using the connect command while he's in-game (check the Custom game guide)

If with all that you still can't get it to work you can try using Hamachi but this isn't really recommended. It really is a last resort.
