What the hell is going on?

[Dridmar]

Hi, whenever I try to join my brother on a server, my joining game screen gets stuck at the beginning and the server kicks/crashes him off. When he tries to join me, the same thing happens. What the hell is going on? It has never done this before.

For the record, we both have different Steam Accounts.

Any console information?

Nope, it just...well one of us can load on fine, but as soon as the other joins the server freezes and crashes, at first i thought it was items, but well we were both well under the limit, and i even dropped extra junk like arrows.

Both connecting from the same LAN? (This is beginning to sound familiar...)

 

[Drake Wingfire]

yes

We are both hooked to a wireless router, (not that it makes a difference) but yes using the same connection.

I've had people connect to my servers when they're on the same LAN, no problem.

 

[Dridmar]

I think it's stopped for now. I'll have to check again later.

We've had issues with two people connecting from the same LAN before. I think we resolved most of them, but ye may want to make sure ye are both using local static IPs.

Same thing happens to me with my server on FN. Can't get my brother to join. We both have static IPs on LAN.
