ecpasar 0 Posted November 8, 2012 IP address server can also be modified, as long as we have enough decoding software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caffeind 10 Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) I just ask that you please don't base the next update on one servers version of the dayz mod. The 1.7.3 update failed because you reintroduced bugs that were fixed in 1.7.2.5 and 1.7.2.6 (Vehicle Damage, Humanity etc etc). And please don't call "Not being able to eat and drink in a car" a new feature, it's obviously an unintended side-effect.Cheers.Edit: I suppose this post doesn't have anything to do with NAT so just ignore it. I won't delete the content as I do think it's food for thought. Edited November 13, 2012 by Caffeind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icomrade 201 Posted November 13, 2012 I agree yeah we can use port forwarding etc and all of that or that automatic port forwarding protocal i forgot the name of for it but I'd honestly really like to see you guys get away from gamespy, their server stuff is just awful.Port forwarding is difficult for beginning users, and lots of people would get frustrated with doing it every time they want to play on a different computer or their local ip changes. Also, UPnP (I assume you mean UPnP) is not for WAN port forwarding it is generally used for local device discovery and local port forwarding, would be useful for LAN.

ominouspenguin 10 Posted November 14, 2012 Port forwarding is difficult for beginning users, and lots of people would get frustrated with doing it every time they want to play on a different computer or their local ip changes. Also, UPnP (I assume you mean UPnP) is not for WAN port forwarding it is generally used for local device discovery and local port forwarding, would be useful for LAN.You are talking about the client. This thread is about the server.Anyway.. No, port forwarding is not difficult... unless perhaps the user is blind and their screen reader struggles with the web interface of their router.. then it could be difficult.Can we please get away from the idea that everyone is stupid and it's ok for them to stay stupid? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rocket 16567 Posted November 29, 2012 Closing this. Gamespy is gone. Bye, Gamespy... that's what happens when you don't update your technology for like ten years. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
