I'm trying to set up a lan game on two computers, both on the same LAN. I own one copy of the game from GoG, which is installed on both. We can each see each other in the lobby, but when attempting to connect, we get a connection refused message.
This happens regardless of whether we set a password or not.
After trying a bunch of troubleshooting, the only reason I can think of that it might not be working is that whenever we try and create a game, the username given to both of us is automatically Solusphere, with no option to change it. This might be causing the issue?
I distinctly remember that local multiplayer with a single copy of the game was possible with the original BZ2. I bought this on GoG, which has significantly less modding support, for the sole reason that it doesn't include (or isn't supposed to include) DRM restrictions in it's games. So if it turns out that it's not possible to run a lan game with a single copy, I am absolutely going to be asking for a refund.
If it isn't that, can anyone tell me the ports I would need to set up port forwarding, or any other possible fixes for this issue?
