Timeout in the lobby

[Harpagon]

When I join a game, I have no problem and connection is established with the host. If a player joins, my lobby freezes for a while and when it comes back to life, I am connected with the player but no more with the host.
The problem occures only whith some players (a lot though, this is very annoying), it is not systematic when I join a game...

I did not have the problem with my precedent modem/router. So I think it might be a port forwarding problem but I opened the 6112 (which is the one used by my game) and it doesnt change anything.
Maybe it is a known problem but I did not find anything here or on the wiki.

you should post the log files created by the lobby and use pastebin to show the following 2 logs here.

game.log and faforever.log (if I remember the names correctly - I'm not at home at the moment)

did you try to permit port 6112 on your computers firewall as well? Did you choose UDP? TCP is not correct...

Does it work better if you deactivate your firewalls (on pc and router) temporarily?

You can try to use another Port than 6112 - since I use a port between above 10000 it works better for me.

Do you have only one router, or two?

The lobby freezes often a little bit if more than one player connecting to the game... Sometimes I'm hosting a game it crashes after that. does the game of the host still exists after your connection aborts - maybe he is the problem and not you?

6112 is allowed on my firewall and opened for both protocols. I have only one router and the problem occures always with the same players and did not happened before I changed my box. That is why I really dont know what to do. I will try to disable firewall if there is no other way to know..
Here are the logs

Edit : outdated logs

Also if a person who times me out when we both join hosts a game, there is absolutely no problem ....
