A question about OpenRA Lan support

drive

Hello,

I want to play with my brother open ra and want to know if it is possible to create a server and play both on it, even if we have the same IP?

I created once a server and other players were able to join me only my bro couldn't join my game, so my question is: Will be there a lan support in the future or somthing or will this stay like it is now?

A note: When my bro try to join my server it is saying like "server not responding" but other people can join my server without any problems.

Something must be blocking the connection. ORA supports lan matches (I just made a test with a server that WASN'T advertised online), try the Enable network discovery option (settings -> advanced), and if doesn't doens't work well, I don't know much else to help you, the only network problem I ever had was that I wasn't able to host matches online, and to fix that I had to annoy my Internet Service Provider until he finally unlocked all the ports of my net (or whatever that's called).

Have you tried using DirectIP yet?

It should work, but doesn't come with a LAN server browser though. https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/8906

Hello, after I heard it should work I began to search somewhere else the issue, and I found it looks like Telecom is fucked up I looked into the support forums of telekom for my router version (How to enable Ports) and found answers like: Buy a fritzbox, or other answers like: that router have a secrurity system that make it difficult to enable ports on it, so I prefer you to use a fritzbox.

And the funny thing is those answers came from the T-Online supporters.

So I know what my problems are, because I nearly tried anything.
