HI folks,
I have just been trying to play NWN2 coop with a friend. We've been able to play together via Lan when in the same building, but we are trying to figure out how to play via "Direct Connection" and it never seems to connect properly. Documented instructions are hard to come by, I guess because it should be obvious, but it isn't working for us. What we do:
- One person starts a multiplayer game, looks up and shares with me their "external IP address"
- I enter that into the direct connect window's IP address slot
NWN2 says that it timed out, couldn't find server.
This should be super easy, right? So what am I missing here? Is it just a matter of setting our firewalls to trust the other person's IP addresses?
