Hello, I've been trying for a couple of days to get multiplayer to work, I set up the port forwarding and have changed the IP address every time I want to try multiplayer simSig (as when you restart your PC it will give a new IP address). But it hasn't yet worked. My friend is trying to connect has disabled the firewall and everything, I also disabled it but it doesn't work, at all. Any idea why?

Have you tried setting up a multiplayer with yourself first, on your local network ?

Then it is a case of step by step through the wiki. Somewhere along the line you (or the connector) will have missed something.

Yeah, I've tried everything, I do join Multiplayer but enable the multiplayer before loading the game, should I enable it after? But I do everything it says, my port does say 50505 in forwarding in router settings but my friend keeps getting disconnected, even trying local IPv4 and Router IPv4. Yet, nothing.

I've sent you a PM to see if we can get you up and running. Saves the thread getting cluttered by mulitple replies.
