Author Topic: Friend Can't Join Game Online (Read 1933 times)

As the title says, my friend just got BL on his laptop, and though he can start a game online, he can't join a game in progress. His background console keeps saying "Sending Punch Packet" and I don't even notice that he is attempting to join.

Any ideas why and/or how it can be resolved?

First off, do you know if your server has UpNp enabled? Check your console log to see if it finds any UpNp devices while starting the server, because sometimes people can only connect to UpNp servers for some reason or another.

A pal of mine is having the same problem but He's had BL for a while. According to him, He downloaded Return to Blockland V4, and after that he couldn't connect to the master server.
