Hosting a Game on ICO

November 26, 2011 10:40:09 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Having issues with this again.  Somewhere in the past updates, I've lost the ability to host games (Alloy being on doesn't matter).

I've manually configured the ports on my router and have tcp & udp enabled but not having any luck.  I can play but not host. I'm running Windows 7 and have allowed Sins to connect through the firewall.

I figure with new players on its a good time to ask and there are not a lot of Windows 7 directions about the forums.

So, any suggestions?

What exactly is the problem? Can you not click on the "Host Game" button, or is it that no one can see your game once you've hosted it, or what?

Sorry to not reply to your reply earlier.

When I ran the hosting test it would always show my IP as "not visible".  I went ahead anyway after resetting ports and the like and still getting the same result...lo' and behold--it worked anyway.

I still get "IP not visible" on the host test but ppl see and can play fine.
