My brother and I are playing FFH2 multiplayer over a direct IP connection using his computer as a DMZ host. We're using DXPort to get around the port issues along with manual port forwarding on our router (it's old and dosen't support automatic port forwarding for applications).
Anyways, we've installed the latest FFH patch, Bruic's unofficial patch and cleared the cache but still when we try to load a multiplayer game it always comes up as failed to load. We're both using Windows XP SP2. We've tried loading the game and having me reconnect to it, no dice. For now though we're just keeping the one game open on both computers but while he's sleeping that means no civ for me!
I'm the tech of the family so if there are any other information you'd like me to provide feel free to ask and I'll post it as soon as I can. If anyone has any ideas on how to improve the performance as well, I'd appreciate it. Churn of turns seems a bit slow to me.
Can this be resolved? Thanks for any help or advice.
