While I don't own the game yet, I got to say thanks for staying involved with the GOG community. Will be picking the game up as soon as I can. :)

Thanks guys! This is awesome! I do have one question though: can you tell us which firewall ports to open to make things work? It looks like UDP 514, 5001, 5002, 6001, and 6004 get used consistently. However, I'm also seeing a lot of seeming random ports used while connecting to various compute.amazonaws.com IPs. I've attached one example. Thanks again!

Hello,

Like with all galaxy games, the ports are random and cannot be determined. Even if you could force your local port on your machine, then your router can assign a random port for you and the same is for everyone that do not have a public ip.

Thanks for the response Raff. I appreciate it. However, I'm still confused. Are you essentially saying that we need to completely turn off our firewalls to use multiplayer? That seems like a very bad idea.

Since my last post I've been researching alternatives like dynamic port forwarding with SOCKS, but I haven't made much headway. What are other folks doing out there? Thanks again.
