Third Party Mirror: Typing in the ip adress and clicking "Client" won't connect to the host

Hey,

I'm new to Mirror, and I have a problem, when my friend is typing in my ip adress, from his home, and I am hosting a game, it will load a little time, but then it takes him back where he can type in my ip adress. Why? Can somebody help me out?





Have a good day,

Please check the console log. You should get some kind of socket error. Most likely your port isn’t open.

You can use our epic online services transport for a free relay. Allows for player hosted games without worrying about ports.

Note, test localhost and LAN first, before WAN, might also be good idea to use one of Mirror/Examples during connection experimenting, to rule out any problems within your own game/code

 

Hello @Skyflamme,
I am not a expert when we talk about Mirror. But I think you can find many docs searching for "Mirror + SteamWorks".

In my project I am following this steps:

1) Instal Mirror (you know)
2) Instal SteamWorks.net (816kb)
3) Instal Fizzy steamworks (13kb)
4) Start the project.

See u soon.
