[Can't join a friends server]

we've checked this, someone on another forum is helping me open my port now but im not having any luck with it

 

[Can't join a friends server]

So me and  my friend are new to rct2 and we've always wanted to play together. We recently found out about open rct2 and were really excited to play multiplayer. However, when we make a lobby and the other person tries to join in, there is a dark red circle with a message saying - unable to connect to server. Any help?
Thanks

okay, so we are definitely on the same build now (3.0.0.1 or something like that) however it says that we need to open our ports - unable to reach game server, make sure your ports are open - any help???

Nope, the red circle means that you're not running the same version. You either have to be both on 0.0.3, or both on 0.0.4. (and same build is even better )

I believe this to be the case, thankyou any suggestions on what to do?

Hi there!

Me and my friend are big fans of the roller coaster tycoon series and have recently gotten into rct2 and thus, found rct2 Open! We have always dreamed about playing multiplayer and building parks together, and we found out now that this is actually possible! I made my own server, making it private and setting it up with a password and name was easy - however, my friend has found the server, but he cannot join it as there seems to be a dark red circle next to the name. If he clicks on my server, a message pops up saying that it is 'unable to join'... any suggestions/solutions?
