The PC hosting the server is at my friend’s house.
My friend and I are trying to play the game. I can join the server either by using the IP address or through the normal in-game server search with no problem.
However, if he tries to join that way, the server bugs out: I get disconnected, and then I can’t rejoin. The server itself is still running, but no one else can connect.
The strange part is, if he joins me through Steam, it works fine—he can get in and everything runs normally. But if he tries to join through the normal method, it fails, and we have to restart the server before anyone else can connect. AMP still shows the server as online the whole time.
Any idea what’s going on?
