• Port Forwarding: Ensure port 27960 (or your chosen port) is opened/forwarded in your router settings for the UDP protocol.
• Fill in the Details:
• Game preset: Select "Generic TCP/IP" or the specific game title.
• Port: Enter 27960.
• Public IP / DDNS: Enter your public IP address (find it at whatismyip.com) or your DDNS hostname (e.g., myhome.ddns.net).
• Create the Room: Click on Create TCP Room.
• Share Access: The system will generate a Room code and a PIN. Send these to the other players.
