Yup! Simple as that.So first, open all these ports 7777 (TCP/UDP) 28900 (TCP) 27900 (UDP) 28910 (TCP) 6500 (UDP) 9989 (UDP) THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO DO THIS 1) Create private game 2) Invite friend, let him time out completely 3) Exit private lobby, remake, invite, play! OR 1) Create public game 2) Wait for someone to join (don't know if necessary) 3) Exit, create private lobby, invite, play![/quote][/quote]
