EHM The Blue Line

I have tried the ports and still no luck. Will not let my friend connect with me. I have tried the external and internal IP addresses with absolutely no luck. Has anyone got this working yet?

ADMIN NOTE: As a first port of call, we recommend reading through this guide (which applies to both EHM 2007 and EHM 1): https://ehmtheblueline.com/wiki/index.php?title=Setting_up_online_gameplay_in_EHM_2007

I set up a server and i can see that my friend is joining but then his game just crashes and my screen blinks that he disconnected. any ideas on what this could be?

I found the solution between me and a couple random on r/ehm . Host needs to be in the chat while others connect. Also have your ports open

Hope this helps anybody having connectivity issues

Edit: I love how the ehm community is "figure it out yourself" almost a week after release and not a peep about the bugs in online

Can't really say much about something most of us haven't tried yet

that was by far no way a slam at people here btw. they won't even respond on the si forums just figured i'd put down my solution i found as alot of people seem to have had the same issue

No worries. I think SI are figuring the thing out too, and posting the solution is a good idea, I'm sure it'll be helpful to other users, as you said. We try to help, but there's no point posting stuff like "I don't know" to a question.

My friend and I have been trying to start up an network game, but whenever either of us put an ip in it sais unable to join the game. Help needed!

open ports 10095 and 10065 then give him your actuall ip, google "whats my ip" to get it. then when he connects go into chat then let him connect.

How do you open the ports??

thanks

For the past few days I've been trying to get a network games going with some friends. We've tried, but whenever it gets to the point of putting in the ip's it tells us that game is unable to join. I opened the ports 10095/10065 as told, and looked up my ip and still nothing. Anyone know anymore on how to get it working?

use your personal ip not the one provided on top of the screen. That ip is a local ip, you'd only use that ip if you were hosting a LAN. Google "whats my ip" then give them that. once you are in the lobby give them your ip then go into chat and let them connect

Still doesn't work. Anything else, like little things you need to have like the ports?

I must admit I am new to the online playing, but I decided to play with my friend. He started game and send me IP adress, I try to join but I always gets message "unable to join". Same if I start game and send him my IP adress. Anyone has similiar problems ? Please help...

Hi guys,

My friends and I want to play an online game . However, when I create the game, no one can connect. I've read the forums, but there is nothing about this new version of EHM.

Can someone helps me ?

Hi,

Me and my friend try to start an online game, and when we want to connect to the game, that said "unable to join the game". We try a lot of things but nothing...anyone can help me?

thanks

The host needs to open ports 10065 and 10095. To do that you need to go into your router (type your ip address into your browser) and find a way to open the ports.

I'll try that! thanks

My friend is able to join my server, but is constantly getting kicked out when trying to do anything more than reading his news. We both have solid internet connection so I don't think that's the problem. Anyone know what it might be? PS. Both of us are playing via PlayOnMac.

Is there a manual for network play? Searching but not finding anything... Open ports 10065 and 10095 you say... hmm not so easy on windows 10... shall i open them for inbound or outbound or both? Is there any risks involved with opening those two ports?

Would be very thankful for help, managed to edit all trades, even draft-trades, up to date with help from the helpful admins on this page and are finnally home from a 3 week long workshift at sea and are gonna startup a network game tonight with a friend... havnt been this exited about anything since my son were born hehe

Check windows firewall.

I don't know much about the risks involved. All I know is that it worked.

Doesnt work... ...

I've even sent him my database and everything.... Anyone got a tip? got our windows firewalls all shutdown....

We have an online network game going and when certain people go to assign their scouts the whole game gives a DATA FULL error then has to be closed to and restarted.

Any Advice to prevent this?
