A solution that did work for me was using jgaz-uk's advice and try evolve. We generally only have small coop fireteams though so I wouldn't know what it's like on a full server. Simple to set up, streaming features, Recorder, fps counter. For us it works fine I can find our LAN server every time, without problems.

ps I wouldn't say this was anything innovative? But i'm glad your addressing this problem all the same.

Hi I have the same problem, cannot find friends server. I've opened all ports, not a problem with my router. We can join other peoples servers not in our group. But as soon as we try to create our own server. I will try a 3rd party lan emu. XD

ps thanks for the advice

There is no audible indication of rain hitting the players clothing/helmet. The rain is strictly an ambiance sound effect at present. Off-course this should be more noticeable in 1st person. great concept though ;)

This would be a great addition. I'd like to see some kind of modular rail system eventually. That's what the rails are for after all.

I'd also like to hear the result of the bad weather included in the audio engine. e.g. walking directly into the wind.
