=TF=bintynz Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Hi all, My friend and I have tried finding a thread that covers our issue but haven't been able to - I apologise if there is one out there that we haven't seen! We play mulitplayer (through PWCG) no problems. However when I am overseas and using my ipad hotspot to my laptop to then link up to the internet to join him I enter the normal multiplayer lobby but there is nothing available to select i.e. he has created a cooperative server as usual which I join, but I can't see any 'click here to enter aircraft' options. The lobby screen literally has 'Multi Player Lobby' at the top and then Server Options and Exit at the bottom - nothing where the aircraft to enter are. I can't host (no port forwarding through my ipad) so he has to host. The strange thing is that when I have tried to join my brother using the same set-up it has worked no problem?! He hasn't changed any router settings from when I join him from home so we can't figure out WTH is happening?! I'm usually joining him from NZ (he's in AUS) and the only differences are that now I'm in China and I'm using my ipad as a hotspot. BUT I can still join my bro in NZ but not my mate........ I know China-AUS relations are a bit sketchy but surely there's not something that allows me to join NZ using this setup but not Aus haha. Has anyone ever seen this 'empty' multiplayer lobby screen on a cooperative server and know what causes it? Much appreciated...
