Host and join on same Computer

[Ghyslain_C_Maheux]

Hi everyone,

After searching for hours why I cannot find my session ( i want to test alone), here are some questions

1: Is it mandatory to use two different steam accounts on 2 different computers (1 host 1 join) ?
Because when I host a game(successfully) and then try to find it, it is just never found by my joining client(same computer and steam account than the host)

2: If the answer to question 1 is “yes”, then let’s say i am hosting on my main computer, and i want to try to join a game on the second computer. What version of the project am I supposed to copy on my second computer? Is it a packaged version, or simply a copy of the project will do ?

THanks a lot.

Found out that client and server cannot be on the same Computer. Just package the game and put it on another computer. You also need a second Steam account.
Keeping old question in case it helps anyone else
