Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I did both, although I don't think I opened the ports on the other computer. The system didn't allow me to because of some other open ports on this computer. I can fiddle with that a bit more though.
Oh, and also (you guys are probably going to kill me for not mentioning this) we actually...
I can't try it yet--a lot of homework needs to be done--but I have a good feeling about this. I'll be back with the results later. :)
EDIT: Alright, apparently that didn't fix it. I still expirienced lag. :(
Incorrect: we can both play in the same game as long as no one else is in it. We haven't tried playing in different games yet but I assume that will also work.
Correct: but only if other people are also in the game. I cannot join a game he makes because it says that it timed out or it was too...
alright, well it doesn't seem to be changing so I'll just post what I got after about a minute or two:
Pinging x.x.x.x with 65500 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

It does have LAN, and we are even able to play online against each other. But what we really want to do is play other people.
Alright I'll try that command prompt. Hold on one second...
EDIT: "Ping request could not find host 192.1681.232. Please check the name and try again."
Alright, I'll try that when I get home--at school right now--but where exactly would I type in this command?
Did I mention I know nothing about networking?
Alright, I downloaded GIT, but still suffer from the same problems (perhaps except for the fact that when I host on the computer I use we're actually able to get into the game.) It's still laggy to the point that we can't play. Different from last time is that we can just play each other online...
But here's the thing: we are both on different computers in the same house, and are sharing a router. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but because we share a router our computers have the same IP address, correct? Well, my friend thinks that is the problem--our computers have the same adresses...
I ran the creative diagnosis thing and it said everything is alright. I had some other audio software for my headphones and I can't seem to uninstall it but I don't think that it will be a problem. I have a Sound Blaster Live! 24-Bit sound card. Also I've just downloaded the latest driver from...
Well, I'm using a 550W Antec PSU so I don't think that is the problem :p
I checked the cables, pushed on them a little bit. Took out and put back in the RAM.
The thing is I had three options: safe mode, last known good config or w/e, and normal. I had tried the last two and those frose so I...
