[FAQ] Hosting server
If you are able to host a server, it will show up on Master Server page: http://master.333networks.com/g/postal2
If you want to host a server, but nobody can join/see it, you can check the following:

:HESSTILLGOOD:
1. Forward Ports UDP/TCP 7777-7788 on your router.
Forward Ports UDP/TCP 7777-7788. Here are ports you need to forward:
game port: 7777/UDP
gsa port: 7787/UDP
master server port: 27900/TCP
query port: 7778/UDP

Here is an example for UT2004 game: http://portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/Unreal_Tournament_2004/

Check your ports: http://canyouseeme.org/, Or check Master Server page (slow updates), or ask anyone join your server.

:HESSTILLGOOD:
2. No port triggers.

:HESSTILLGOOD:
3. You need to know 100% that you can host any other games like "Garry's Mod" / "Don't Starve" / "Killing Floor" etc, cause it's YOUR problem of your router.

:HESSTILLGOOD:
4. Public IP (static or dynamic) - Your provider can be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and in that case you can't host any servers.

:HESSTILLGOOD:
5. Network priority - it's priority of your Windows adapter - if it have low priority Postal 2 will not use it! (LAN/Ethernet/Hamachi/Tunggle/ etc)
Network Priority change:
Try this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/27994/how-to-change-the-priority-of-wiredwireless-network-cards-in-windows/
Not help ? Try this: http://ecross.mvps.org/howto/change-network-connection-priority-in-windows-10.htm
If you wanna use hamachi - change adapter priority to high, active DHCP and change metric to 9000 or 10.
Helpful info: http://wiretuts.com/how-to-get-games-to-work-with-hamachi-on-windows-8/

:HESSTILLGOOD:
6. Be sure you have disabled the Firewall.
Firewall settings change:
Disable Firewall: http://www.wikihow.com/Turn-off-Firewall
Open Firewall ports: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-open-a-port-in-the-windows-7-firewall.html

:HESSTILLGOOD:
7. Be sure your Antivirus program does not block connections.
We hope this help you to setting up your router/network.
All hosting/connecting playing work in 100%. We played more than 300 hours of tests and know that it works, all other problem only on your router side.
Have fun! Guns don't kill people, you do. (only a fiction people... ofc)

:HESSTILLGOOD:
8. Error package STV2 or OTHER version mismatch - Solution.
This error happens because you and host player have different versions of game files. Like diffirent mods/textures packs or you installed any localisation.
You have to use same version of game and mods as the HOST player. Different packages not available in Online coop!
SOLUTION: delete unmatched files and press check files in steam for POSTAL2.

:HESSTILLGOOD:
9. NicksCoop config for Linux.
Linux Solution:
Just change your "~/.lgp/postal2/System/Postal2.ini" with this: https://gist.github.com/Koncord/5ea0d1daec8f1c6185eb72d4ad09eca0

:HESSTILLGOOD:
10. NicksCoop config for MAC.
MAC Solution:
backup your postal2.ini
replace it with postal2CoOp.ini (just rename it to postal2.ini)
launch P2 via shortcut or steam

so basically we just give our friend our IP and he can connect if we are hosting a NON dedicated server?
TheUntoast 23 Nov, 2021 @ 2:05pm 
No matter what I do or change, my friends still cannot see the server I am hosting. Any help would be appreciated.
Superfech 25 Jun, 2023 @ 3:33pm 
Is there no way to reactivate the Master Server?

How do I make the dedicated server appear on the LAN tab over the VPN?

Здравствуйте, можно ли как-то создать сервер без хамачи, через приглашения стима?
