DennyFrontier Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I hate to resort to this, but I really would appreciate help getting Ghost Recon coop to work. I've tried every program (tungle, himachi, game ranger, evolve, zero tier etc) and Ive watched every single tutorial out there but I still cannot figure it out. I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to changing router settings, and setting IP address and all that jazz. This is where things get grey for me. I simply cannot figure it out. I am asking if someone would be willing to voice chat with me and be patient because I am completely green stuff this technical. If you are willing to help me get coop going, I will gift you a game on Steam that is equal value to the original Ghost Recon as a way of saying thank you.

Rocky Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 LOL you do sound almost desperate. No need for gift incentives, let's see if we can get you going though... So a few things to check first before we get on to troubleshooting the co-op issues... This is for the original Ghost Recon? You have it installed on Steam? Island Thunder, Desert Siege installed? Game patched to latest version? Graphic card drivers up to date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Ok. So what exact problem are you having - do you have a mate who is hosting and you cant join, or is your mate unable to join you (ie via direct IP connection - are or you looking for a server browser?

My friend has the same problem I have. Neither of us can host a coop game and neither of us can find each other's server. I guess the root of my problem is I don't know how to use those third party programs aforementioned. Ive watched and studied as many tutorials as I could find.

Rocky Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Okay you don't need any of those programmes if its just you and some pals - you just need to know your own IP number, give it to you coop pals, and then the join using that, right there in the multiplayer tab of ghost recon.

wombat50 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 In the search bar of your browser type my ip and when you search it should give you your IP. Like Rocky says just text it or email your IP to your buds and they should be able to join unless... -you are behind a firewall or anti-virus that needs you to give permission for GR to connect to the internet. - you are using a router, then you need to do port forwarding in your router. I think the ports are: TCP: 2346-2348 UDP: 2346-2348 There are tutorials online and on YouTube. Knowing the brand and model # of your router may be of help. Not sure about this idea so anyone please pipe in that knows more about it. If you have a router and don't want to do port forwarding plug your Ethernet cable directing into your computer's Ethernet port bypassing the router. Again unsure if this is a good or bad idea. Run the game with no mods until you have successfully hosted a game.About Heroes Unleashed: 1. If Desert Siege or Island Thunder are not present, it is necessary to install compatibility add-ons for Heroes Unleashed. You find them included in the mod's "XTRAS" bonus content folder: Found in: "Heroes Unleashed\XTRAS\HU Compatibility Add-Ons\" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt work. Ive done that. And we've both completely disabled our firewalls before trying to connect. And I have tried to port forward my router and that still does not work Edited January 3, 2020 by DennyFrontier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Who's your ISP and what router is it, and where are you located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisenhauer Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) check network connections if you have more than one, for example (tungle, hamachi, evolve, zero tier etc) disable or delete them. If you need them you can activate them temporarily but deactivate them to play.These adapters have the habit of writing to the Hosts file as the primary connection, and interfere with access to your normal connection. For the port forwarding it is important to the Host-PC a fixed IP otherwise the release does not work. You can do this in the router or the settings of the network adapter. The IP in the photo is just an example Restart after the changes to test you try to dial one of these servers, visit http://5.45.107.182 Edited January 6, 2020 by Eisenhauer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have Spectrum. And as for my router its an old Linksys. And I'm up in Ohio. I've tried both opening the ports as mentioned and bypassing the router all together by hard-wiring it to my PC.
