Can't join a friends server

[The_superior-nemesis]

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

Different versions, both of you need to check if you're downloading the same network vesion (Develop)

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

@The_superior-nemesis If it shows in the list, then the port SHOULD be open.

 

Unless the devs changed that for some how

Have you checked that the ports really are open? (As I presume you added the server by the IP and not found it on the master server)

Start the server and check if the ports really are open: http://www.canyouseeme.org/
