This is when attempting to join shipping Android build game on same Wifi, from PIE on Windows.
I don’t get any better results when joining this way when both devices are running shipping builds.
What am I doing wrong?
I looked up the ports being used while running on PC, and saw that 14001 and 7777 were being used in UDP but they didn’t have"LISTENING" next to them. Maybe UDP doesn’t listen though, since no other UDP ports said that either.
This used to work in 4.23 without me changing anything. Then, one fateful day in early 2020, maybe around February, it suddently doesn’t work anymore, neither using LAN Sessions nor direct IP address join via console command.
