Hi

Me and a friend is trying to play Panthers in the fog on steam but we can´t get it to work. We linked our Slitherine account with steam but we cant register the product since steam don´t have cd-keys.
Sometimes i can see my friend in the lobby but when we press host och join it just says connecting to opponent. Nothing else happens.
Is i possible to play multiplayer on steam?

If you can both get to the lobby then it sounds like it may just be a very slow connection. Have you tried opening the ports for a direct connection? I paste here the info from the readme.

NOTE: If you experience significant lag while playing a multi-player game you may be able to improve this by setting up a direct connection between the host computer and the client computer. To enable a direct connection, the hosting player must configure their router and firewall to allow incoming connections on TCP port 1944 and, if necessary, make sure connections on port 1944 are forwarded to the correct computer on their local area network.

Cheers

Pip

Hi

The connection wouldn't be a problem. We both have more then 100mbs.

We'll try opening the ports.
