Cant get a LAN game going.

April 19, 2009 5:19:54 AM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

Both myself and my brother have the game and we want to play LAN, problem is that we cant see each others games over the network. The layout is: My brother is directly connected to the router and I am connected to a switch connected to the router.

We dont have a problem with any other game other than Sins of a Solar Empire and I would assume it uses the same network code.

On a side note, thanks to whoever came up with the solution of mashing enter on the games shortcut to get it to open, as its the only way to actually get the game to start for me.

Make sure to allow the game through windows firewall or any other firewall software you may have. If you can't see each other and you're on the same subnet that's the most likely cause.

Nope, not an issue. Firewall isnt blocking and on the same default subnet. As I said, its only Stardock games which LAN doesn't work.

Hmm a bit strange. I had the opposite experience. My son and I have played several Lan games. Im hooked up directly to the router (A linksys router) and my sons computer upstairs is wireless hooked up to it. The first time I just started a game...he saw it...been playing fine every since.

Is there any way for you to get say the switch out of the equation for a test and hook yourself directly to the same router to see if that is somehow causing the issue?
