Sufc-Ownage Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Is it possible to play online cross country? Me and My brother have started an online game and our friend from the Philippines wants to join but when he searches for the game, he cant see it in the server list even though I could. Ideas?

Quads Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 You could see game in server list because you're using LAN with your brother. Your Philippine friend will need the IP of the host. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPSb0y Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 If not how do you enter an IP address? I can't see any options for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deen Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Maybe the game is region dependant through Steam? Try going to Steam->Settings->Download+Clouds and make sure you are all running on the same download region. Restart Steam and try again. I hate it when games do this. It splits the community... EDIT: Yes! This is definitely a problem. I've just changed my region from Toronto(Where I live) to UK - London and I am seeing a ton more games!! SI, please make games visible to all regions! This can be very confusing for people, and North Americans will think the online scene is dead since soccer/football isn't nearly as popular around here.
