hey all...
trying to set up a home server, and when i connect locally (from the same network) using the server's local IP, the game works fine. however, if i try connecting through my public IP (but still from my house) it gets to the "Midnight - by jitspoe" and then nothing happens.
i've set up port forwarding on port 27910 for the server, but it still won't work, it just hang (not freezes) while loading. Info is below:.
any ideas?
