His upload and download speeds are both higher than mine, at 85MB download and 265MB upload.
I'm going to be running a game this Sunday for my friends to play OpenTTD on one map, but he can't join for some reason. I've searched a while for a solution but none have worked. I'm hosting on steam.
Here are the things we have tried (that haven't worked):
Setting affinity of OpenTTD to just one core (taskmanager)
Setting priority value to high (taskmanager)
I tried hosting a 64x64 map
This seems to be an issue with steam authorisation or something like that, as he gets stuck on the authorising page (2/6) when joining - even without a password. (Screenshots attached). He can join other lobbies that have a lot of people and much larger maps too, not sure why this is the case. Not all, just some.
The weirder thing is that when I tried to join his game, it worked. The obvious solution is to host the game on his server but we really don't want to do that.
If any of you are willing to chip in and suggest solutions - or even have had this problem yourself and are willing to help out - I'm all ears and I thank you greatly.
Cheers everyone
