Hi, I got a steam copy of Borderlands 2 on my account. Now i try to play Borderlands 2 in LAN in coop game with my friend and got some problems. I installed steam with Borderlands 2 on both PCs. On both PCs i started stream in offline-mode and started the game. In-game i switched to LAN-mode (network options). One PC is starting a savegame (host) and the other one should join - now here comes the trouble.

Mar 11, 2018 - Get the Ultimate Borderlands 2 Experience by installing this Unofficial Community Patch! Be loaded in from a local file instead of the Borderlands servers. The local file which contains the community updates will fix certain. Fixed E-Tech Sniper Rifles. Buffed Hyperion Sniper Rifles to match others. Borderlands 2 v1.3.2 All No-DVD [SKiDROW] More Borderlands 2 Fixes. Borderlands 2 v1.0 All No-DVD [SKiDROW] Borderlands 2 v1.0 All No-DVD [3DM].

1.) the client/quest (the one who should join) dont find any games on the network. 2.) when i start the game on the client/guest with 'borderlands2.exe 192.168.0.12' (IP-adress of the host) then i get the error 'the match you are trying to join is running an incompatible version of the game. Please try to upgrading your game version'. I dont know what the difference between those two is. Both are installed through steam with newest patch (1.8.4.), no error on verifiying the local data.

Any suggestions? I had this same problem. Was not getting local LAN games to appear. Spent hours trouble-shooting it, including trying the command-line option.

That just gave me the incompatible version message. Want to know what the problem actually is? Borderlands 2 doesn't know which network adapter to use. That doesn't make any sense with the kind of error messages BL2 is giving me.'

But I'm not crazy. I found this solution after hours of scouring the internet and trying different solutions, and it worked for me. Go to your Network Connections and disable all connections except the one you're using to network with your other PC. Now load Borderlands 2 and connect successfully. Merry Christmas.

@In Love With A Starship Trooper I really got you to say, i fell in love With A Starship Trooper now. Disabeling unnecessary network-adapters did the trick. Thank you so much for helping me out!!! First i realized that using Tunngle also works!

Then i read your comment. It has to do something with the network-adapter priority. In my case the bad-guy were the installed VMware Workstation adapaters. I cannot believe that its working now, i struggle with that problem since three days. Happy new year!

Contents [] Known issues Gamespy • Cannot host public games • Cannot join public games • Cannot host private games • Cannot join or invite from friends menu • Cannot connect at all LAN • Cannot see LAN servers • If you have an old computer, you wil be dropped from the server due to loading time, when changing areas. Solutions • If you cannot host public games, but do want to use gamespy to do it, first configure your router. • If you cannot join public games, make sure the host has configured their router. • If you want to join public games, but do not want to use gamespy, use GameRanger • If you just want to play with your friends, consider either using GameRanger, Hamachi, or Tunngle.

(You can also try; leaf networks, remobo and teamviewer vpn.) • If you are trying to play on LAN (Either real or virtual), but cannot see games you know are there, try directly connecting. Otherwise, try forcing the correct interface to be used.

Router configuration To host (and sometimes join) online/games, ports must be opened. Are numbers that represent entry points to your computer from the internet. Your house has an address (Just like your ), but you can't just walk through the wall. Ports would be doors, in this comparison. When you have a router sharing your internet connection between multiple computers, the router holds the single address that the outside internet can see, so you must tell it which ports should go to which computers. Otherwise, it simply ignores all incoming requests (like people trying to join your game).

Uses only UDP connections for hosting and running games, TCP/IP connections are used only to connect to the GameSpy servers. To be able to host and play games, the following ports need to be forwarded to your computer (See or for help): • 7777 TCP/UDP (in/out) - actual game data port In addition the game opens the following connections to the internet. In most cases it is not necessary to specifically open these ports, as this is an outgoing connection that routers usually detect and open properly.
