La Panda del Centollo

Problem:

Which ports are used by Sacred 2

Solution:

Lobbyport

The lobby for online gaming uses port 6800. Thie value can be changed in the file "optionsCustom.txt". Normally it already has the correct value after the installation.

Gameport

By open an own Online game you can set the port in theaccording menu. Please use a port which isn't used by another application. Because of that it's recommended to use a portnumber above 7000.

An Overview over the used ports on your computer you get with the command "netstats". Open the command prompt (start -> programs -> accessories -> command prompt) and type in "netstats -ao" ("netstats -abo" shows you also the according programs)

"portforwarding"

If you have a firewall or an A/V program with integrated firewall you will be asked to allow sacred2 the communication with the internet. If that isn't the case consult the manual and/or help how to allow Sacred 2 the communication with the internet.

If you are connected to the internet via a router you eventually have to forward ports. This can be done by the configuration interface of the router which differs depending on manufacturer and even model. Do you just want to connect to a server this is normally unneccessary. Starting an own multi player game/server you have probably to forward the specified port, normally the options are called forwarding, applications or virtual server.
