Lan Problems

[elmwood]

hi, pretty new to the game.

my room mate and i want to play a lan. we can get into the lan game start up screen, but when we start the game there is a long load then it says server closed.
we have our ports enabled in options and our anti virus is off.
any help out there? :hitting-self:

did you try disabling your firewall as well? also, are you running any vpn software like hamachi? if so, try disabling them. Some games other games I had similar issues, and directly connecting to their network IP resolved the issue.....are you living on a college campus? if so and after trying this above, you may wanna check with your tech support there to see if their firewall may be preventing it.

you have to load the game in engagment first because of the long load.
