Multiplayer Performance

Axis and Allies Readme v1.0.0 - If you have a firewall in place, we recommend visiting the following web page for information on how to configure your firewall to allow you to host multiplayer games. Axis & Allies uses UDP on ports 6900 and 5860.

You may experience lag problems if the host does not have a high bandwidth connection. These lag problems are related to the number of players, the number of regiments, and whether or not your game is listed publicly on GameSpy. If you are hosting a game on a low bandwidth connection, we suggest the following options to improve multiplayer performance:

Avoid playing games with more than 4 players on a 56K modem particularly on large maps with several regiments.
If playing large maps with lots of regiments, reduce the number of computer AI players (each AI player consumes bandwidth).
If you are hosting a game on a modem and having multiplayer problems, turning off "Report In Progress" may help. This will prevent your game from being listed publicly.
