My friend is having problems connecting to games I run sometimes.
What I mean in this case is, we want to play Sven Co op together. My brother, in the same house, can join me just fine.
My friend who is trying to join me, who uses the same internet provider, cannot connect to my server.
I've tried running a dedicated server, and the steam servers claims that my friend is connected and "validated", however on her end, all she see's is an endless "validating game resources" progress bar. We waited a good 5 minutes before she just gave up. An older title like this on her brand new computer shouldn't take that long to load and connect.
This isn't the first time we've had problems either. Before we tried playing Borderlands 2 together, with me hosting the game at first, when she would join her character would just endlessly run off to the side and she said on her screen things were just jumping around before she got disconnected.
I've tried port forwarding, and I admit, I have almost no idea if I'm doing it correctly.
My router automatically assigns every connected device an IP4 address (10.0.0.X) and my IPv6 address I can seem to get just by googling "whats my IP".
If there's something I can do or information I can find that could help any of you to tell me what's going on, I'd appreciate it.
