Multiplayer Evolve

ridley · 08-07-18, 11:30 AM

I have read the instructions and installed Evolve but cannot see a "Evolve Virtual Network Adapter"

Windows 10 BTW

Anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Hi Ridley

after you installed evolve did you install the adapter software
open up control panel then system then device manager then network adapters
on the evolve network adapter it has a yellow triangle so it will not work
tells you your online when on evolve but your not
to get rid of that yellow triangle on your evolve adapter under networks
open up evolve under network adapters click on advanced in value box to the right of MAC Address it should be blank or if theres anything in there backspace it so its empty enter 0 click ok when you go back to evolve under network adapters no more yellow triangle so you host a gaming party you are truly online with your green dot and your virtual ip 140.28.64.12 and your buddie that joins your party has a similar ip 140.28.64.13
job done happy partying

OK got the adapter sorted but now I get

Broadcasting and media system : temp maintenance
matchmaking : overloaded
party system : overloaded

Have had this for the last day, is this normal or is something wrong?

Yes.
Try again 5-6 p. I'm enter sometime with 9-10 p

5-6p? Not sure I know what you mean there

Do I have to open any ports on my router in order to host or play?

I just created a game and my friend could not see the game, he was in my Evolve party at the time.

Hi Ridley re 5-6 that could be 5-6 players in SH3 Lan Lobby
as for opening ports you don't need to do that only thing I had to do was when hosting SH3 on Evolve for the first time was alt/tab out of the game with the game and Evolve running in the background then clicking on allowing SH3 to send and receive data packets on my fire wall popup on my desktop then my friends could see my hosted game in the SH3 Lan Lobby ok
