Essential improvements

Patches

Patch 1.1 is the latest patch available for the game and provides bug fixes.

All digital versions come with the patch pre-installed.

Moonbase Console

Moonbase Commander used to run off of Gamespy Arcade for Internet/LAN Play, but since the service has shut down, the game has been notoriously hard to configure to work through the LAN and Internet modes. The Moonbase Console rectifies many issues, including an easier matchmaking option for LAN/Internet games, as well as being able to make 100% custom maps not normally in the game.

LAN/Internet Ports

For Moonbase Commander to work over LAN/Internet, you must first allow the game through any firewalls on all machines playing the game. From there, there are two solutions. The 1st is to Port-Forward the following ports on your router:

  • 2300 (TCP)
  • 47624 (TCP)
  • 2350 (UDP)

The 2nd solution is making one computer the DMZ host for the router.
