AI War / Re: Multiplayer Problems - Direct Connect Mac & PC

Thank you everyone for the prompt, enthusiastic and helpful replies!  These are easily the best game servers I have ever had the pleasure to visit!

Are both your machines behind the same router?  Or are you in separate locations?

Separate locations

I have a Mac and he has a PC, could that be the issue?
That should work fine

Great!

So, does that mean my best bet is looking at port forwarding?  The link above from homeboy x4000 looks promising, so I will investigate and see how easy it is.

Thanks again for all your help - will let you know how we get on

+1000 for steam integration to make multiplayer a breeze without having to fumble with routers or VPN 

One-click to join a game lobby... oh so nice.

Yep, +1 here too...

AI War / Multiplayer Problems - Direct Connect Mac & PC

« on: July 06, 2011, 04:32:30 AM »

Hi all,

Is anyone able to help me?  I just purchased a copy of AI: War ion Steam for my brother and I to play multiplayer.  I didn't realise it wouldn't have the same multiplayer functionality of other Steam games and we are unable to connect a game and there seems to be very little information out there to help us.

Any suggestions?  Have tried using www.whatismyipaddress.com, but it still won't connect.  I have a Mac and he has a PC, could that be the issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
