Hi akviejozorro,

1. As far as I know, the original maps don't work properly with rttr . But most of them aren't designed for Human vs. Human games,
because they aren't really balanced.
2. If you want to host a game, you have to forward port 3665 in your router settings.

I hope this was helpful.

1) have you installed settlers 2 gold or settlers 2 + mission cd? Which maps? Which version have you used (nightly or
stable,if nightly which revision)

You have to open port 3665 tcp or you have to use an other open port.

Edit: damn you were faster :p but most maps should work

2° You need to open one port on your router, standard is port 3665 (shown when you open a new multiplayer game).

too slow...

Hi again.
My game is  Settlers 2 Gold edition v1.51 english version
+ Return to the roots  v20120908-81-83

you both must have the same version of rttr, otherwise you cant play together ;)

Did you really open the port? Here you can check if your port is really open: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
And do you and your friend have the same version of the game? Because it really should work if you have done everything right.

Yep parasit is right,if you have different versions of rttr you may not see the server of the other player.
