Open RA, Mac and Hosting troubles

Worldmind · Post by **Worldmind** » Thu Nov 29, 2012 2:14 am

Hello all

Just found out about this fucking awesome program. however I have a small issue.

I'm on a macbook pro
I want to host a game and have my roommate who is also on a macbook play in the same game.

using our only internet connection.

I chatted with someone in a game lobby saying that only Windows XP users can host rooms.

I kind of find that hard to believe because it just seems like a stupid idea.

I was informed by a friend I could use Hamachi, I'm am trying to figure out how to use that or even get the Open RA to read it.

Any help?

This has nothing to do with Mac. See https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/FAQ Nobody can join my online game!

You can also check your server.log if UPnP fails. This will be fixed in https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/2403

Please keep in mind that your personal firewall has to be disabled manually.

dedicated servers can help you, there are many on the newest playtest, but the playtest is not stable. The most stable version is now 630
