So here's the deal.
We got 2 laptops with the same game installed. Far Cry. We want to hook them up together as a local area network, so we can of course play on the same map etc. How can we go about doing this or with another FPS game?
We tried hooking them both up to a router, and even though both computers recognized the router, we could not both get into the game together. One person would be hosting the game from their computer, and the other person could not connect. Are there any other options to get this setup? Maybe by not using a router at all and just connected both computers directly with an ethernet cable? Or a hub? Or would we need to type in that set of numbers in the web address box to get to the router config?
It's our first time trying to set this up and it's rather frustrating lol, if anyone could give some advice we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
