Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Unable to host, stuck on "Exchanging game information"

Hello,

I was trying to host a game via ZDL on vanilla Doom 2, and nobody could connect even though my port was forwarded and I was hosting. I had the same issue every time where the slots would fill up, but we would all get stuck on the same error message of "Exchanging Game Information"



Any idea what the problem might be? I'm on the latest GZDoom and using your standard Doom 2 wad.

MORE DETAIL I SHOULD HAVE ADDED: I verified having the same version of GZDoom, and this happened with multiple people. I also had a fresh INI.
