Has anyone been able to get the multiplayer in this one working?

I granted it access when the Windows Firewall prompt popped up but I cannot ever get a multiplayer match set up. One will host but when the other station goes to join it just sits at searching forever.

@HunterLaneSBVR Multiplayer has not worked since this game was released and now the “free trial” period is ending with no word on if/when this is getting fixed. @DigitalWorldsVR commented on this not working a week ago. Has anyone contacted the Devs? Do we have any update on this at all?

HunterLaneSBVR

gameovr The devs have been contacted, I’ll update here when I hear back from them!

HunterLaneSBVR

gameovr Can you give me some more details on the issues you’re experiencing with it?

According to the devs it should work via LAN and that they’ve tested it multiple times to make sure. Are you experiencing errors, crashes, no founded session etc.?

They are more than happy to help anyone having issues though!

The stations just never find each other. One person hits host and the other hits join, theres no other options in the game. We’ve tried multiple different stations. It just doesnt work.

HunterLaneSBVR

gameovr Heard back from the devs. They said that the only way they broke the ability to play LAN is to have an aggressive firewall or antivirus blocking game traffic.

For successful connection you have to have available 7777, 14001 and 15000 ports in the local network on both PC’s you’re trying to play on.

I have no firewall or anitvirus running and every other multiplayer game functions just fine. Having to go to each computer to manually open ports when that is not necessary with any other game is ridiculous. I dont have time to invest hours into troubleshooting and testing to get a game working. If it doesnt work as is, its not going to get licensed by us plain and simple. Devs need to know that requiring arcades to go through extra steps to try to get their game working is a non-starter.

I’ve granted the game access through my firewall. I’ve got other games that go through LAN and they do fine. Like Mega Overload does just great.

HunterLaneSBVR

DigitalWorldsVR Hey there. Just to confirm. You are able to get the multiplayer working but it required you to manually open ports on your firewall?

DigitalWorldsVR

HunterLaneSBVR Nope, I granted the firewall access when we booted it up the first time and I’ve still never been able to get a mutli-player match going. I was able to with Mega Overload which has the LAN option, but not with Galactic Rangers.

HunterLaneSBVR

DigitalWorldsVR Hey there. Let me chat with the devs to see if there are any logs you can send that may help with troubleshooting.

DigitalWorldsVR

HunterLaneSBVR Sure thing, let me know what I can send to help out.

Did we ever get an update from the developer? I’ve still kept it on my stations as it is a fun shooter but I’m about to do another cleansing of my storage drives to make way for newer titles and this one is on the chopping block since it doesn’t have multi-player.

HunterLaneSBVR

DigitalWorldsVR I’ve reached out but still haven’t heard back. Will keep trying though!

DigitalWorldsVR

HunterLaneSBVR Bummer.

Heard back from them!

As you can imagine, many development teams have also been affected by the health crisis but they are looking into the issue.

I’ll continue to update this thread as I hear from them regarding a fix.

Quick question, did you try making sure that your 7777, 14001 and 15000 ports in the local network on both PC’s you’re trying to play on are open? (I have let them know that this is not an ideal solution but I’m curious as to if this would allow multiplayer to function correctly)

Thanks!

DigitalWorldsVR

HunterLaneSBVR I’ll give it a shot sometime next week.
