My friend and I want to play modded Minecraft together. We used to use Hamachi when we both had windows machines. Now Hamachi just isn’t working. We can connect and communicate on the LAN we made, but I can’t connect to the direct connection. There aren’t any error messages that help. It just says it couldn’t connect. I have a steamdeck and my friend has a Windows desktop. I’ve done research about it and I am thoroughly lost on what to do. We want to try to do this for free or hella cheap.
Has anyone here encountered this issue and found a workaround or anything?
Why are you trying to play over LAN instead of hosting the server and having both users connect?
If you’re set on playing over LAN you can try zerotier.
My friend is insisting we play this way. I just want to get an actual server, but my friend is resisting even though I offered to pay for it
