So it seems a most difficult task not using steam as a subsystem for networking. Would it be allowed on here still either way as it has Solo mode and LAN? so you can play it by yourself without or over local network.
I've tried using port forwarding and direct IP connection and all sorts. it doesn't seem to want to work with anything other than steam. I guess this is why there are only 3 games that come up unto the tags UE4 and multiplayer. one is LAN only, the other is multiplayer on the same machine and the last uses IP but i think C++ is required for that.
If the answer is no i'll understand i'll contact support as recommended before to be sure. as well. Thanks in advance.
