Greetings !

My friend and I are trying to start a new game together starting at Chapter 1 of the regular campaign. When we try to create a game for the other to join, the server doesn't seem to start up right. The game will be greyed out an show our IP address and the status in the server browser says "Contacting Server" and after a while "Server offline".

I see a bunch servers online that I can join no problem and also a bunch of other servers that are greyed out and offline.

What are we doing wrong ? How can my friend and I play together ?

    Sounds like the host needs to forward their ports. 5121 is the default port for NWN.

    I hope a future update will allow people to host without needing to forward their ports.

    Also if you can't seem to forward your ports through port forwarding, make sure to try port triggering through the firewall.
