Port Range is incorrect.

Needs to be 4255 to 4259.

Quote from Jackah

Yep, that's perfect. Now restart Rising World, load up your world again and tell me when you're ready.

ok restarted game and in singleplayer again

Quote from Jackah

For the 'Protocol', are you able to change that to Any? Rather than a separate one for each?

i put any but it still makes one for each

I've asked @red51 to take a look to see what's wrong.

i would just do a dedicated server but i dont know how to host that stuff or server restarts or anything im sure thats where people just lag out in most servers so i just would rather a simple setup but obviously its not that simple lol

Quote from red51

Yes, it is possible that the current multiplayer issue prevents you from connecting.
But it is also possible that your firewall or antivirus program, @Degalbro, is blocking the connection. What antivirus program do you use? You can try to temporarily disable both, and then try connecting again.

i actually dont have antivirus lol

Quote from Jackah

Do you use Windows? If so, which one?

windows 7

is there anyway @red51 you can just host one main server and hive it? so for example just a normal server its a german host and i join as im australian it would be about 300 anyway to hive servers so if i joined i would have a perfect ping even though its a german server? servers like world or warcraft or lord or the rings online or any MMO where you can all hive of one connection and still be fine with low ping no matter where you're from

Click the Start button, go to Control Panel, select Security, then Windows Firewall.

At the side, click 'Advanced Settings'.

Now choose 'Inbound Rules'.

Under Actions, choose 'New Rule'.

Select Port, click Next.

Inside 'Specific Local Ports', type this exactly:

Code

4255, 4256, 4257, 4258, 4259

Click Next.

Select 'Allow the connection'.

Click Next.

Choose the network type, usually Private, but it might be best to choose Private and Public.

Click Next, then for the name type 'RisingWorld'.

Click Finish.

Should now work... if not, then, uh, must be a bug, surely...
