Cod Waw Zombies Multiplayer Not Working

[Rosicler Kleckner]

OnT6 and T5 most players should be able to invite people out of the box.

In case it doesn't work you will have to take extra steps just like before.

On T4 and IW5 you may need to take extra steps to be able to join your friends.

This guide will teach you how to play with friends over the internet in a custom games match.

No matter which game you're trying to play the first step is to follow each other on the forum.

Hosting isn't complicated but involves several networking concepts that you need to understand before diving in so please make sure to take your time to read this guide to understand the concepts involved in hosting.

You can also take a look at the Introduction if there's anything you don't understand.

First of all you need to know that Plutonium ask you to do all these steps because hosting servers costs money, which is why most games on Steam don't require anything from you other than clicking "Create a game".

But for indie games and passionate projects like Plutonium hosting a server for everyone would cost way too much money so you're required to host your games yourself instead which is free for everyone.

As for Black Ops and Black Ops II, Plutonium worked on a system that tries to make it all work out of the box but depending on your network configuration it might fail and you will then need to port forward to ensure that system works.

Basically when you want to host a service such as a game server (or a private game with your friends) there is an important concept to understand: who can access my network and which service can they access. You don't want people from the outside to have access to everything on your PC.If you want to play with 2 PC connected on the same internet router you can connect to each other using your local IP because both devices trust each other.But when you want to play with people who aren't connected to your router (so basically people from outside your home) that's a different story because they're all considered as strangers and potential threats. This is where the concept of ports and port forwarding comes in.

Throughout this guide you'll see the words "port forwarding" and "UPnP" mentioned. To host a server/custom game you need port forwarding which requires manual setup on your router.The idea behind UPnP is to let your router automatically open and close ports as you open/close services (such as game servers) on your PC, so it's basically an easy automatic port forwarding.Keep in mind that UPnP and port forwarding are two different things so port forwarding will not enable UPnP, but they have the same goal. UPnP is nice to have things work right away without any configuration but it doesn't work with every network setup so if it doesn't work for you, you will have to manually port forward instead.

To make it simple everything connected to the internet running on your PC uses a port.The internet going through these ports can either be outbound connections (you connecting to Google or to a game server for example) which doesn't require anything on your side or incoming connections which means you receive connections from the outside (hosting).In that case you need to forward the port used by your service (in that case your game server) to tell your router to allow connections from the outside on that specific port.Otherwise, by default and for security concerns the incoming connections on this port will be blocked. So if you understood this correctly: only the host needs to have a port opened (or UPnP enabled) on his router. The people joining don't need to do anything on their end, just like when you join a public server.

Enable UPnP on your router if it's not enabled already.

Since every router is different we can't make a guide for every router.

We recommend searching "your router name + enable UPnP" on Google or searching in your router settings.

Hosting a private match without UPnP or when your friends cannot join out of the box requires you (the one who invites the others/hosts) to port forward (see What is port forwarding?).

Since every router is different we can't make a guide for every router so we recommend searching "your router name + port forward" or "your ISP name + port forward" on Google/Youtube.

You can either create a port range rule, for example 1000-1005 will open every port from 1000 to 1005 including 1000 and 1005 or you can create a rule for each port required, the result is the same.

The port(s) value/range is given on the section for your game. Each game can have a different port so read the section for the game you're trying to play on that page.

For example 28960-28961 means both the port 28960 and the port 28961 or a port range from 28960 to 28961.

On the other hand 3074 means you only have to open that specific port.

Once you both follow each other you will see your friend in the game's friend list (or in the Plutonium overlay's friend list tab for T4).

If after following each other you can't see each other in your friends list in-game just restart your game.

If it still doesn't work no matter what you do then you will have to port forward the port 3074 (UDP) on your router (see How to port forward?).

Once this is done you can restart your game and invite your friend(s) again by following the instructions above.

To be able to play with your friends on round 1 in zombies you can force the game to wait in the loading screen until a certain amount of players connect with this command sp_minplayers 2.

This command needs to be entered in the console.

Replace 2 by the number of players you want to wait for before starting the game.

If the match requires 2 players to start you can force it to start anyways by starting a game using the solo button.

Don't worry, it's not actually solo, it will start an online private match that your friends can join.

Alternatively you can use the xpartygo command to force the match to start.

To play with friends on T5 Multiplayer you must start a private match and invite your friend to join.

You need to be in-game to be joined. Inviting your friend in a multiplayer lobby will not work.

Multiplayer is a mode in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes which the player gets to play against other players in real-time. The player gets to choose between the plant's or the zombie's side, where the player will fight a plant or zombie hero, depending on which side they chose, similar to regular missions. It is unlocked after beating the game's tutorial. This mode requires an internet connection to be accessed.

In Casual Mode, there is no penalty for losses, but there is no winning prize other than Tickets. This game mode is more suitable to test new decks whose utility the player isn't sure about, to learn new battling skills, or to prepare for Ranked Matches.

In Ranked Matches, there is a leveling system that determines the skills of the player. Winning rewards the player with Stars, while losing takes some depending on the league. Ranked matches also feature seasons, which last for five weeks and will reward the player with prize piatas depending on their final standings. These piatas contain a number of card packs from every non-Basic set available.

At the start of each season, the player will start their season from a specified league depending on their final standings in the previous season. For example, if the player ended their season in the Gold League, they will start their next season at the Bronze League.

The player is free to choose which hero to play as and which deck to use, as there is no obligation. However, depending on which side their hero belongs to, the player will be matched up against another player on the other side.

Before the battle, each player gets to shuffle their first four cards. During this section, the player has 30 seconds to shuffle the first four cards. If the timer ticks to zero, the game starts right away. Once both players have confirmed their given cards, each player will be given a free superpower to start with, after which the battle starts. There will always be a lane for heights at the far left, and a lane for water at the far right. The setting of the battle area is randomized between the available areas, including the playing field, where plants and zombies are seen in the background watching the game. However, the match remains the same as other matches in multiplayer.

A timer is added, which is placed under the cursor showing the phases of the battle; lasting close to 1 minute for each phase. The timer can stop for a while when a fighter's ability animation is played. Once the timer ticks to zero, the phase ends right away. If a player takes too long to respond, the game will end with that player conceding automatically.

Since in this mode there will be real-life opponents, some that will likely have more cards in their collections than you. Before you hit gold, losing doesn't cost you stars. However, when you face tougher opponents, you will have to deal with stronger cards, so be aware. Do not use weak decks on higher leagues, since you will likely lose repeatedly and lose multiple stars. If you don't want to lose stars, or you're not sure about the deck you are using, try Casual mode for practice. Since each season will end with a prize piata, try to rank as high as you can. This can also be useful for the next season so you can advance faster once the next season starts.
