  1. Can't host or join game


    I use a Client for LAN gaming called Tunngle, I use it for an old game. This is kinda weird. Sometimes when me or my friend hosts, we can't find either of our sessions, and then later or the next day, it suddenly works. Why is this happening? Is the game just old? And there are times when we do see the game session, when me or my friend click join, it just crashes and freezes for 10 seconds and then resumes but doesn't join the game. Firewall isn't the problem, I checked it and it's approved the game and Tunngle. Can someone please help me fix this?

    :)

    DirectPlay protocol old games issue on Windows 10

    I'd like to add additional information:

    My brother, to whom I'd like to play against, is on a Windows 10 Pro version, 1703. When he hosts, I can see his game but can't join (take too long and will abort) but when I host, he can't even see my game. And when I use GameRanger the way I found, when
    he hosts, I still can't see his game so GameRanger connection process stops. On the other way, that is I host and start GameRanger connection, he can join my game (but I have issues due to no compatibility options set).

    Can't host or join game

    Welcome to the forum. When bwindows looks for a pc on the lan it uses netbios and it doesnt look it asks the master browser for a list. If its a new lan it may take a long time for a pc to become master and for it to discover pc. you should be able to see pc via IP and it often fixes it if you map a drive to the pc via IP

  5. What? I'm kinda confused. What do you mean by this? Is it the reason it always happens?
