Most of my other networking issues are now solved. But I have a new one. I’m using GameSparks to create matches and handle NAT Punchthrough. This works; yay

When two devices are on different internet networks; such as phone using cell data, and my home computer on my home internet. both devices work. I am playing over the internet with my functioning NAT punch through. However, once I bring my phone on WiFi and I’m using the same external IP address. things fail again.

One solution is to just do LAN play. However, this is a problem. If say 2 players are in one house, but 2 other friends are elsewhere. Then the host and the two outside friends will play together, but the friend next to the host can’t play.
