Jesh, Malf and me just tried to get SWAT 4 to work in coop. I hosted a game and Jesh was able to connect via Direct IP without any problems; however, when Malf tried the same, his game wouldn't connect and after a while he timed out.
Any suggestions (whether general or specific) what might work? I think Malf tried to forward some ports, but it is odd that it worked without any additional setup for one person and not at all for another.
Alternatively, what's the best platform these days for VPN gaming?

We might end up going for something like that (I've heard good things about Gameranger), but apparently direct IP should work, and it did work for Jeshibu. That's the weird thing.

Yeah, direct IP doesn't work at times depending on your NAT or router setup. Generally I've had to futz around with port forwarding for some of my older ISPs to get it to work, but even that's been a crapshoot at times.
