Online problems

Post by Qwerty »

Hi, I am trying to play Glob with a mate over the internet.

However we are unable to connect to each others games. When ever someone makes a game and the other tries to connect a message that says we are unable to join a game due to a timeout.

I am running Ubuntu 7.04 and my mate is on windows. We both have the same version of the game (alpha 23)

Thanks in advance for any help :)

This is an obvious answer but it's surprising the number of people that don't check this... is his/your firewall blocking the game at all? Another useful piece of information is, are you connecting directly with IP addresses or going through YOG?

I am not sure about the firewall, and I was connecting to his game I could see in the game list within YOG.
