Thanks for all those options. I look forward to steam peer to peer networking.
What do you mean by forward ports ? Are you saying just allow open ports on firewall? I think I already have those ports open in that range. If meant by that something else I guess I don't know.
No Rent of a game server,
I seen Hamachi and I thought about VPN
I don't know how much third party software I want to stack on my PC it's already running so much each one causing a person to be exploited either by such third party or hackers. Also my dad would get frustrated
if he has to create a new login + go to Hamachi + download app + remember all the logins + save all login info, that just to play a game.
Hmmm. This ipv6 sounded like easiest for both us, I didn't know +ipv6 was an option. We both using IP4 but also broadcast Ip6 at same time.
I guessing based on what you mentioned would this be how I would do this?
PLAYER 1:
1. adjust the start parameters of my game to +ipv6 (screenshot 1)
2. go to http://whatip.me/ then copy / paste my IPv6 address in - Steam send Player 2 a chat message of IPv6
3. go to single player even if multiplayer hit LAN (screenshot 2)
PLAYER 2:
1. does he also have to adjust parameters? (screenshot 1)
2. go to multiplayer then hit connect to ip (screenshot 3) paste in Player 1 IP6 sent him via Steam chat
Is there a password something like that somewhere for login as an option?
