Hi,

We need some testers for the new NAT punch-through method.

This method consists of 3 components:

Automatic port forwarding

NAT punch-through facilitator

Direct connection

This will allow 90%~ of users to play online (unless your network or router blocks the above methods e.g. school networks)

If you haven't already port forwarded please try connecting to another player online either with quick match or friends invite (invite accept appears over your controller)

I'm particularly interested in if you are able to connect to the facilitator which will be noted in the output log in the Arcade_Data folder.

Please also note any loss of performance.

To test the new NAT punch-through you have to opt-in to the beta in steam.

Happy testing ːsteamhappyː
