blkdeath75 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I bought a separate steam account for my wife as well as a copy of the game, and for some reason I have NO CLUE how to get us playing a local game together? Is this something that is being implemented with the new steam multiplayer tools? I would think that my other comp would automatically see any LAN games running. I'd rather not use a 3rd party program which I have seen a lot of people saying they use Hamachi?(sp) Is there not a built in way to see local hosts or start local play? Thanks.

EasyPickins Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 You can play coop on the same computer. That requires one (or both) of you to use a game controller. For multiplayer (even LAN) you must start a server. On Windows that can be as easy as double-clicking the ProjectZomboidServer.bat in the game folder if you're not using the Steam test version.

What he said. There should be a file called ProjectZomboidServer.bat, open that and it'll start generating the map etc and when it finishes it'll start listening on a port, have to make sure it's forwarded of course. To connect to your own server locally on the computer that's hosting you need to join 127.0.0.1, other computers in your network have to connect to your internal IP, usually 192.168.0.X.

blkdeath75 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 So essentially I need to be running 3 versions of the game (i.e. Server x1 Client x2) to play with 2 people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyPickins Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yes, one client on your computer, one client on your wife's computer, and the server on either of those computers (or any other). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
