Hi All, I would like to try and host my first sim and have been trying now for a few days with a few friends but for some unknown reason I am unable to create a new game or be able to host, I also sometimes have issues joining games. can anyone shed some light please as I'm very confused . I've been told I need to set up port forwarding which I'm also trying to do but cant find sim sig in the list of games. regards Paul Last edited: 18/11/2017 at 21:00 by signalmanpaul Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Quote: I've been told I need to set up port forwarding which I'm also trying to do but cant find sim sig in the list of games.You need to set up port forwarding on the ports you wish to use. SimSig usually uses 50505 or 50507, so set up Port Forwarding on those ports. If your router is offering you a list of games, all that does is load in the default ports that those games use- there will be a place to enter your own port numbers.
