Request...Only one can join
« on: July 14, 2006, 05:18:43 pm »
My problem isnt that no one can join...seems only one person can join my game, I have Custom maps on, so i dont know.... But the thing is I have a whole list of about 20 people trying ot join on my cusom maps. The one person can join but others cant. Oh, I only see requesting game, not the downlaoding etc...in red text. so I know its not the map. Anyone know how to fix this? My Firewall lets Soldat have Full Access, so thats not the prob...Is it the lobby prob again...or self kill? Im tired Of justing hoping for a miracle that someone will join... any help?Thasks.

Try running on a standard map, and see if multiple people can connect, and we'll go from there. Better yet, leave an IP address so we can try connecting after you do so.

Also, what is your setting in soldat.ini for lobby forwarding? Your firewall might allow Soldat to access the outside net, but block clients from connecting to Soldat itself, since it has no way of knowing that random connection request X is meant for soldat. The first client might be allowed to connect because it happens to use port 23073, which is probably forwarded to Soldat, but the next player can't.

I've seen this with some models of routers, they will allow the first connection then cut off the rest. Usually the result of some misconfiguration of the settings.

Perhaps try going into soldat.ini for the server and tweaking the max connections settings (increasing them)
