The host must provide their local IP address to other players. This can be found by typing ipconfig in the Windows Command Prompt . Join the Server:
The host starts a server using the -nosteam method described above.
Joining players launch their game with the same -nosteam shortcut.
If players are not on the same physical network, a virtual LAN tool like can simulate a local connection.
The host launches their game using this shortcut, selects Host , and starts the world.
For a more stable experience, you can run a standalone dedicated server that does not require Steam to be running. I have problem with hosting own server (Steam and Cracked)
