in Multiplayer
Alright I can't find mention of this anywhere else so I figured I start off a new topic. If this already is a topic somewhere then I apologize, I just don't know what else to do.
A friend and myself are trying to set up a multiplayer game on BG:EE. No mods of any kind, just the vanilla game which we both bought on Steam.
When I get in my game and go to multiplayer, the TCP/IP option is unavailable, it's the same way for my friend. How do we fix this?

Make sure the host has a publicly reachable IP address and forwarded Port 47630 UDP. If the host is behind a transparent NAT [UMTS/HSPA/LTE, some cable ISPs], he will need a paid VPN with dedicated IP addresses (i.e. HideMyAss Pro VPN) to obtain a publicly reachable IP address.
Alternatively use Hamachi or a similar group tunnel tool.
The coming patch will introduce Beamdog.net which makes use of NAT traversal servers which function similarly to VPNs.
