Can't host? whats the secret.

Post by Grimshad »

For some reason I can't host a game, I go in, everyone else sits at contacting server.

ports are open, no firewalls, no anti virus. Whats wrong?

P.S. yes, i did search the forum, and google for help on this and found nothing.

K relayhost does nothing, I used it and when I click the host button nothing happens.

I read the log myself and found out the game was trying to use the wrong network adapter.

Select a specific relayhost, not random one

If you're using Windows, try using the zklobby instead. It comes with your spring install, just run it from your programfiles\spring folder. It uses an autohost when you host (same as relayhost).

You say ports are open... Did you forward them in your router? An open port simply means that something is listening on that port (in this case spring), but if the ports aren't forwarded in your router, your router doesn't know what to do with the information so it is discarded, leaving the person on the other end with a connection dialog.
