Stuck at "connecting"

[MarshmallowCirno]

When my girlfriend host a game I can't connect to her lobby. Game is forever "connecting". But me and she can join other public games without issues. I tried to use both official an downlord beta client with the same result

[PhilipJFry]

are both of you in the same local network behind the same public ip address?
if yes - do both of you use a different port?

Code: Select all

2018-10-28 13:53:46,129 INFO     fa.upnp                        UPnP mapping 192.168.x.x:6112
2018-10-28 13:53:46,168 ERROR    fa.upnp                        Couldn't get StaticPortMappingCollection

according to the log upnp is unable to forward port 6112 to your local ip address - maybe try a different port

We are not in the same LAN
I tried this time with 6119 port, still same

[PhilipJFry]

according to your client log the manual port mapping of port 6119 works properly
but your game.log file says that it hooks files from downlords client
if you upload a game file from a game that was played with the original client then make sure that you upload the correct file (should be game.uid.#GAMEID.log)

also logs of the other user you cannot connect to would be useful

Here I used official client and host used downlords client

host logs:
downlords-faf-client.log

game.log

host game.log

according to the client log both of you have a mapped port for faf so in theory there shouldn't be a problem with connecting

do other people also have issues when trying to connect to that particular host?

I also have this problem when playing on the same wifi with 2 friends. How do I get the logs that the above user supplied so I can post them here?

EDIT: using Downlords client on Windows 10.

[Geosearchef]

they are inside the ForgedAllianceForever folder in C:\ProgramData\

Thanks.
Wont these logs contain like "all connection information since I installed the game weeks ago" or is there some way just to get the last 5-10 games?

[PhilipJFry]

please don't post in other peoples threads with "i have the same issue" unless you're sure that this is the case (and in this case it's not)

also please read the red text above and post logs
(we put the important stuff in the red text so people can read up where they can find logs so we don't have to repeat ourselves 10 times/day)
the logs have timestamps
