PERFECT ! Thank you.
You're doing a great job here helping us with these stuff. Portal is one of my favorit games. Well, it's a tie between Portal and Elder Scrolls. I can't wait for Skyrim to launch. We're all counting on you to patch us when it does ;)
That helped my a lot. Thanks ;)
But I`ve got still a question: Does the coop start after hosting by itsself or do I have to write in the console each name of the maps ?
Join my hamachi server for portal 2
name: spaaace7
pass: 123
Even works to create a game between multiple computers on the same Steam account. Only one may be online, but it's a great way to lan party if you happen to have multiple PCs but only one Steam account. Thanks for the instructions - hopefully my gf will enjoy playing Portal 2!
