Merrin Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 For those of you who still don't get it but want to play PZ multiplayer badly - here's how I did it.Kirrus added this: There are bugs. Lots and lots of bugs. Read the full release release details here:http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/5577-multiplayer-open-test-details-inside/This is merely for joining already existing servers. - open steam- Right-click PZ and click properties- Select Beta tab- Select onlinetest- Close Project Zomboid [onlinetest] will be the name of PZ in steam now. - Various servers are being posted on the forums, choose a public server and copy that (ip) address - Start up PZ- Select Join Server- Add server- Fill in IP, Port, Username and Password. IP will be offered on the forums, and a specific port can also be provided, but my default port 16261 works for most public servers right now. Username and password can be random, fill in whatever you like.- Save- Join Server In short, if I had seen this guide, I would've played it sooner. I hope this helps. To return to single player, go back to the beta tab under properties and opt out of beta. rorschach, Footmuffin and MadDan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorschach Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Good guide, Merrin! You covered the basics nicely there.I will add that port 16261 seems to be the 'handshake' port where server and client connect before the server moves the client to another dedicated port (one per player slot).

rorschach Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 theres multiplayer now?Yes indeedy, kookikaykitti! Come join the party, loot some houses, get beaten to a pulp by a frying pan-wielding fellow survivor, and hug a zombie. Not sure about the last one...

kookikaykitti Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 every time i click on join server it says "connection failed". anyone know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckle77 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I had the same issue a few times. It just means that whatever server you are trying to connect to is either full, or offline....at least thats what I assume. Aaaannnddd assumptions can be dangerous.

It can also to do with the computers firewall, that might be blocking the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
