Physical Multicrew STILL broken.

[Einar Donarsson]

Port forwarding only makes it slightly better but my Wife still keeps getting connections Errors or Transaction Errors every Second Jump or simply while being in Supercruise.

We tried to get into the Same System/Thargoid conflict Zone Via Physical multicrew for an hour Today. We then Gave up and played something else.

Can we ever expect Multiplayer and Physical Multicrew ESPECIALLY to work without constant crashes or rather without constant connection Errors?

My Wife used to call this Game lovingly "Bobblehead Game" cause at first she was only able to watch me play it and i got 4 bobbleheads in my ship. Her old PC couldnt run it. Now we call it Elite: Connection Error

Yeah that's not going to work, port forwarding directs all data coming in on a certain port to one PC, but if you have two on the same subnet that will seriously throw a spanner in the communications of the one that the ports aren't being forwarded to. Here's a test, do you have a phone you can use as a temporary hotspot and can you connect one of the PC's to that, so you are effectively running on two entirely different networks and see of that helps. That will tell you if it's a problem with your network setup or not.

It works fine as long as you forward different ports to each PC.

Sometimes people think "enable port forwarding" just means turning the option on in the network menu of the game. That's only half of it, the other half is actually setting up the forwarding rule in your router.

Well yes you can do that, I was assuming by the number of connection problems with was just a basic port forwarding setup. Of course it also depends on your router, cheap routers often don't have the flexibility of more expensive versions and may not provide the necessary options. We don't really know the setup the OP is running so we are guessing, but testing using two entirely different networks as I suggested and seeing if it changes anything will indeed tell us if it's a home network issues or something else.
