Heya, quick question. I downloaded FM onto my laptop through steam, without the disk (as I already installed it on my desktop at home). Now I'm unsure if the problem is definately related, but when I am connected to the internet directly (through my port in my uni room) I can join my friends network game fine. But when I'm in his room next door networked to the same internet through a modem switch, I get an error message telling me a number of things might be wrong.
"You may not have the same patch version."
"Unable to connect to server."
And a few other things.
Really don't understand why it won't work as I'm still hooked up to the same network, just not directly anymore.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix?
Cheers in advance!
Holy
 
unable to conenct to the server is when the host isnt playing the netgame i think
