Can't Connect with Steam friend

06-02-2011, 06:19 AM

When I invite my friend to a private match, he gets the invite and his machine starts to load, but mine says it is still waiting for someone to join. He never gets in the game though, because I am not there. Then it times out. There is no "join game" button for the game creator. So I guess when the other player accepts the invite both systems are supposed to start loading.

It does the same thing to him as well. When he invites me to join his private match, My machine starts loading the game, while his says waiting for joiner.

What are we doing wrong?

Very likely that you didnt configure your router or firewall.

Creating and joining a game works perfectly.

could all of these router issues account for all of the failed online co-op connections. i know im good as i have connected and played online co-op before. it takes 20 mfailed attempts to connect though. anyone?

yeah its cos most people are just casual players who dont even know what a router is.
