I would like to join! But, you need to look into giving the "share" link either a longer expire time or an infinite expire time.

I thought it was permanent, sorry about that!

Edit: The permanent link is the same, it really ought to work. Try this one instead: CLOSED

My apologies, I was not logged into Discord in my web browser, which seems to have been the issue. I am now in!

Glad to hear it Charlie, welcome aboard. To be honest I thought Discord would give you a temporary username as I tried to set it up so that making an account is not mandatory. I will look into it...

gear

For Tunngle with Windows 8 there are a few things you can do to help your chances of it working properly:

Disable non-essential network interfaces by right-clicking on the start button and going to Network Connections. You can right-click on each one and select "Disable".



After that, press the "Alt" key and you will see some options appear at the top. Click "Advanced" and then "Advanced Settings..."



Make sure Tunngle is at the top using the green up and down arrows.

Almost done! Now open dangerouswaters.ini in notepad and scroll down. Look near the bottom for .AdapterName "Tunngle"

Windows 10 note: adapters.txt may see Tunngle as something else (ie Ethernet 4). Bottom line is it has to see the adapter with the Tunngle IP address, they start with 7.

>> Make sure to restart Tunngle so you don't break anything <<

Keep Tunngle running and connected to the Dangerous Waters lobby when you start the game initially
To check what adapder DW is using, host a game yourself and check near the bottom in the chat box at the game lobby.
Good:



 
BAD

User @diegotiger from the discord server:
Quote:
Tunngle renames the adapter when installed
that's where some people get confused
In windows 10, the adapter can be renamed like the other windows but the adapter directly isn't changed in name so like a nickname
So it appears as Tunngle there but windows reads it as Ethernet 6 for me and for other is may be ethernet 3 or 5 depending on how many adapters are considered local and the sorts
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the automatic adapter priority that windows 10 has compared to the older OSs









^^ Big Image. What you should not see.


Once everything is matched up, you should be able to play.
We'll see you out there!

Running Windows 7 and already had a look at all that! I'll keep you posted.

We had a great turnout on Saturday the 10th. Thank you everyone who showed up! Unfortunately due to some technical issues we were not able to start until about 2 hours after the scheduled time and even then had some technical issues.

I have decided to rent a VPS through Vultr.com and will be testing out the ability to host a game with that, for next time. A VPS should allow players to connect without having to use Tunngle, not to mention the high speed, high throughput internet connection! Stay tuned!

Once again, I will be making another post later this week when I have an idea if hosting via a VPS is going to be possible. Expect the game to be about the same time as before.

I would recommend people to show up earlier if you can in order to test their configuration. I was the one that had a lot (all) to do with the two hour delay last week but I now have a fix for my issue that could potentially help others out.

I will be around this Saturday most of the day to help people test configurations and hopefully play a few games. Stop on by and say hello!

After contacting Vultr.com technical support (Props to them. Really fast response and definitely knew their stuff!) it seems like a huge pain in the butt and more expensive than I had anticipated to host Dangerous Waters over a VPS. I will have to consider other options. The good news is that with proper port forwarding, and considering the risks of having open ports, almost anyone can host without having to use a VLAN client.

OK See you there!

I'm a bit curious. I haven't played a simulator online in any form since Longbow 2 in late 1999 or so. I think DW would make for a fun multiplayer experience. Not sure if RA will work. My old laptop is a bit wonky. I'm on LwAmi 3.11 for now.

Only one way to find out. Drop by the discord and we can test it out.

I'll have to attempt to install RA first. Since getting LwAmi installed took a lot of time and effort (got so many errors it's not funny), RA will probably be worse, squared!
