Silent Hunter 5 Multiplayer UK

Herr_Pete · 05-29-10, 04:12 AM

Hi guys, other than the hopeless in game multi system, is there another way for UK users to go online? Steam still haven't bothered to release SH5 for the EU so this is not possible unless I am missing something.

Hi Pete,

Honestly - I don't know the answer to your question I reckon however, you may have more luck in the multiplayer sub forum

Hi Pete , perhaps an option to make in Multiplayer your first game session and see if people can join your session.
When yes then you know it is possible for the UK players to use Multiplayer.

Also when I go online in Multiplayer then I see no session but when I push on Refresh then sometimes I see somebody have made an session. and am from the Netherlands so when i can use MP then you can also do that.

Guys in the EU join our games all the time. I have seen some UK guys hosting games as well.

I have been giving it a try, any server i do come across the Latency is sky high at 999 of course meaning the host has gone. Left up a few sessions with no luck! Perhaps it's my poor timing.

999 means they dont have the ports open to host. They are sitting waiting for people to join an un-joinable server. Most people trying to set up MP have never been to subsim and simply are not aware of the router settings they need to change to host a game joinable through the ubi servers.

hi pete ive got the same prob with the 999 lat, seems more ppl in the lobby with it then without,did you manage to sort it out and was it the router ports. ive tried forewarding ports but still no joy. also getting conflicting numbers to forward tried them all but my head hurts now

I'm in UK and host games.
I followed the port forwarding information ddrgn gave.

I have played games with billcarphead, he's a really good player and a nice guy
