FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Network and Multiplayer

• No servers in serverlist?!
• What to do about lags?
• How to play in LAN?
  Just setup a normal server and activate the "Offline/LAN" checkbox (this is only necessary if your LAN is connected to the internet and you don't want that people from the internet join!).
  Other players should now be able to join your server by selecting the LAN-tab in the serverlist! Try "Connect to IP" if you can't find the server!
  Do NOT activate "U.S.G.N. users only" when playing in a LAN! U.S.G.N. only works with internet!
  Use port 36963 for LAN servers only! Otherwise you will not see them in your LAN list!
  (you have to join with "Connect to IP" when using another port)
