Playing w friends
-
I have read the thread explaining how to play with friends but one step isn't working.
To join a friends game you double-click their name in the Friens List, but when me and my friends try that nothing happens.I have made sure to check things such as UnPn is enabled but I don't know what the problem is.
Thank you for any help.

UPNP / Portforwarding is only needed on the host. If you have it enabled but the host does not it won't work.

Xerxes We all have it activated so that shouldn't be a problem.

If you can't get it to work this means the host either did something wrong (like not being in-game while the others join or bad port forward etc.) or has something still blocking the connection (firewall, antivirus firewall etc.). Make sure to allow Plutonium through your firewall (some antivirus have firewalls too!)
As a last resort, if you really can't get it to work you could try using a software like Hamachi or RadminVPN but you won't receive help for that! (make sure to switch to LAN mode instead of clicking on Play in the launcher)
