Found a Workaround for Co-Op/Online PC Gaming
So, after doing some testing I might have found a way to play online/co-op games for the PC. We all know that for some godforsaken reason the way T-Mobile has their networking forced all through IPv6 breaks PnP, which in turn basically breaks all lobby-based co-op games. Things like the new PC game Outriders will just not connect when you try to get into a co-op match, period. Well, after testing out a few VPNs I was able to find one that worked fixed that issue. Surfshark is what I have been testing all day today and so far every game I was having issues with is now working just fine. It is $12 something a month though which is kinda bs considering we shouldn’t have to resort to something like this just to make our service from T-Mobile usable. Unfortunately at the moment, this seems to be the only option we have though as gamers.
Next, I will start testing out live streaming to see if this will work as well with my Twitch channel. I will let you all know how that works.
Hopefully, TM will eventually pull their collective heads out and fix this disaster. The link is down below.
Did a test run streaming and gaming on my Twitch channel last night and everyone said the stream was looking smooth so it looks like the VPN will work for streaming as well. The only thing that was kinda weird was that on my side Streamlabs said it kept disconnecting from Twitch chat for some reason. Facebook gaming is also working well at the same time. I will give it another week or so and let everyone know how it’s going but for now, it is working.
