Hello everyone, having a very specific issue with Worms.
On my actual Dreamcast with a DreamPi, I am able to join someone's lobby and battle against the other players, but I cannot host a lobby myself; If I host a lobby, the game never "begins".. no black screen with text before the match (just endless lobby screen).
This is only on my Dreamcast; I can host/join on Flycast without issue.
I also want to point out that on Flycast, I was only able to host with a CDI image; Same issue as my Dreamcast using a GDI. I've tried a GDI of my actual disc, a GDI from online and a CDI from online. Using a CDI on my Dreamcast did not make a difference, however.
My DMZ is functioning; I can play Alien Front.. Tetris... Chu Chu -- All without fuss on my Dreamcast. It's only Worms with this specific issue.
I read that if there was a DMZ/Forwarding issue, I could host but not join; My issue is the complete opposite, and it's only on the Dreamcast.
Thoughts? I have spent hours trying to figure this out -- really bugging me.

Re: [Worms] Specific connection issue
I'm partially intoxicated so apollogies for my spelling mistakes but i waent thru the trouble of setting up dddw-wrt with Windows9X because we sthought his rotuer r(R6700v3) has a problem with dmzing properly or opening ports it was one of the two from some forum posts on netgears site btw so i'm pretty sure its not his router

Re: [Worms] Specific connection issue
Yeah, I don't think it's my router anymore; It works on Flycast both ways. Further proof is that with dd-wrt, I can finally play AFO since the base netgear firmware couldn't DMZ properly.
I really don't know why it's only Hosting from a DC that doesn't work -- Really scuffed.
Anyone experience this??

HI! The usual is the opposite, if you have DMZ problems you only can play if you are the host of the opened game.Windows9X wrote:Yeah, I don't think it's my router anymore; It works on Flycast both ways.

Very rare you error, and more if you can play AFO or CCR without problems. Sorry for the no answer.
