Can't connect 3 players in LAN Age of Mythology game
I've installed Age of Mythology: The Titans Expansion from disc on three separate Linux computers, all running Wine. Each computer runs the game very well. The only issue I have is that the game won't let me connect all 3 computers in a multiplayer LAN game at once. I can play 2-player LAN games just fine. I have DirectX installed through Wine.
I (player 1) am able to host a game and another computer (player 2) is able to join. Then, when the third computer (player 3) attempts to join, a "Connecting..." message appears where their name should go, and the connection times out after ~20 seconds, usually kicking out player 2 with it. Sometimes, instead of a "Connecting..." message, player 3's name appears briefly before disconnecting as usual.
All of this happens regardless of which physical machine is player 1/2/3. I've tested out every combination of hosting and joining, and nothing improves. However, all players can play if there are two separately hosted games, but I would like all players to be able to play the same game.
I can run a 3-player Age of Empires II LAN game, strangely enough. No issues with that.
Anybody know what could be the issue? I don't know whether it has to do with the games, Linux, Wine, or the network itself.
Edit: The same problem occurs if I use my phone's wireless hotspot.
