Really? Damm. Okay, since what I was doing obviously doesn't work, could someone tell me what the actual way you're supposed to mess with Firewall and Router ports is?
EU III Multiplayer Game Sign-Up Thread
- Thread starter Yelnoc
- Start date
Some people were have trouble accessing the metaserver, but I can try setting up a test-host right now.
EDIT: Just to make sure we are all on the same page timezone-wise, the game was scheduled to start 4 minutes ago.
Alright, everyone get in the metaserver (though King Henry, if you're reading this, try and complete the setup for a normal host as I have a feeling this won't work).
yeah, I deeply overestimating how much I remembered about this stuff, probably best if you do it.
What's the metaserver's password?
Okay, I got it sorted out - something buggy about my Steam CD-key not being put into the proper place at the Paradox forums and me not realising it (since all the expansions are also registered).
Also, Yelnoc - for teh record, I can see teh game, I can try to join, but it says game not found.

Yeah, I didn't expect it to work. I'm on wireless internet, and my POS router reset itself sometime between the last time I did this and now.
Okay, my computers steadfastly refusing to let me get at my router, so I definitely can't host today I'm afraid. What's the password for the metaserver being set up, and how do those work exactly?
I hit host and i made a game called AH.com
Didnt see anything about passwords though
what's your IP and do you have the ports open?
Passwords are for metaservers
There was no password, but it didn't work (I tried setting it up and my ports are still closed).

What is your IP (host again, please).
And sorry, everyone. I thought my computer would still be able to do this, but I guess my router must have reset itself. If today doesn't work out, I will fix my computer and we will do this next Saturday, one way or the other.
In the multiplayer menu, there is a button called metaserver. Clicking on it takes you to a lobby, where a bunch of us are hanging out. Games can be joined this way.
That's a shame. I guess you will have to contact the MEIOU guys. Perchance, are you using a wireless or grounded connection?
You have to register with Paradox Forums first to be able to access the Metaserver. You'll need the CD Keys for the game, HttT, and DW.
It might be linked to Paradox Plaza. If you have an account on the Paradox site, put that username and password in.
