Multiplayer Help!!!
Hi
Thanks for keeping this project going, it's awesome to be able to play especially with all of the addons.
Problem:
Having difficulties hosting a multiplayer server and my friend joining me from the Internet. He lives across town. Tried some port configurations, and even disabled my router firewall, but in the CUSTOM SEARCH option in the multiplayer screen he cannot see OR join my game. I can see my own game and even join it after creating a dedicated server in the kickstart menu.
He is PC I am Mac running Lion OSX.
We are able to see and play together in the master servers, but his client constantly crashes with segment violations, whereas I don't crash at all.........
Can anyone help us with these two problems?!
Thanks!

It also sounds like the other person's network packets are being blocked, ask them to ensure they've opened the correct ports for both listening and sending of data.
I went over to his house and downloaded the PC version 1.9.8-1 as per your instructions. We are both running the SAME version and yet STILL he cannot join my game when doing a custom search for it, despite me disabling my router firewall totally. Please help!!
HIM - Windows 7
ME - Mac 10.8.2
1) In snowberry menu I select Ultimate DOOM run as dedicated server which loads terminal and the server? then I have to load snowberry again and uncheck the dedicated server box to load the game. Then I am able to see myself and join my own game from inside the game in the server menu. But he cannot.
2) We are able to connect to the dedicated servers however they are glitchy and laggy.
Can you help further with this? It's very frustrating!
Will you be incorporating a HOST game feature from WITHIN DOOM like the older KICKSTART versions?
Someone?
The multiplayer worked fine a couple of versions ago, when the HOST GAME option was available inside the game on the multiplayer screen.
What details do you need exactly, in point form and I will get them.
