Hello everybody,

so, first of all my apologies, because this is going to be very Noob.

I just bought Magicka, because I was looking for some fun game, I could play together with my son. We own a notebook and a Surface Pro, so LAN is no option as the tablet can't be connected via cable. So I wanted to host a game online. I bought two versions on two different Steam accounts (very unhappily so, I do prefer Gamersgate, but they directed me to Steam...), downloaded the two purchase, but was unable to host a game.

What am I doing wrong - and it could be anything: Do I need to alter anything in my Windows setup (version 8.1), do I have to activate anything on Steam, do I ...?

Sorry for posting here, but I couldn't find a Magicka-forum only the one about an upcoming version so I figured I might just as well post here

Any help would be highly appreciate, thanks very much in advance,

Hans
