Hi there,
strange problem:
When my friends starting a lobby they can join each other without any problems. I am not able to join. Also if I'm starting a lobby they are not able to join my game. We all using GOG for that. It dosen't matter if we use the online lobby and connect to the lobby (the lobby is visible!) or by using the direct link code or GOG invitation.
And now the strange thing:
Once in a while (feels like every 100 tries) it works without problems! Yesterday I started a lobby and one of my friends was able to join. He logged in and out of my session. Worked with invitation direct join and with code... until I closed my lobby and started a new one. He wasn't able to join. Also I wasn't able to join him.
First thoughts: Firewall, network etc. But: if firewall blocks that stuff it would block it everytime. That drives me crazy.
Both other friends using the same provider. I have a different provider. When I use a hotspot with my phone it seems to work fine.
I tried to explain that to my provider and asked to check routing between the providers. Answer was: Buy a fixed IP and the problem is gone... I don't think so...
Anyone have an idea on that?
