Can't connect or host [RESOLVED]

Postby Rewdalf » 21 Jan 2013, 09:47

Simple as that.
Downloaded FA Forever yesterday.
Connected to an online game and played.

Today I try and do the same, but it won't connect.
Tried four different games.
Tried hosting.
Nothing worked.

6112 port is forwarded. Deleted and re-forwarded it twice with no results.
Firewall and antivirus are off.
Game is patched to the latest version.
Tried running the program as an administrator.

No error messages.
Just stuck connecting.

Ok :
Command received from server : {"commands": ["91.236.254.74:30351", "/PLAYERID 42652 Rewdalf"], "key": "SendNatPacket"}

This is the server asking your FA to send a UDP packet to 91.236.254.74:30351.

When the server receive it, it read the header to see what outside port was used (if your router rewrite it correctly).

The result is sent in TCP to the FAF and displayed in the log. It's not displayed.

That means that the server never received any packet. So it means that something is blocking your outgoing UPD connection. (on local port 12345, but it doesn't mean it's that one for the outside port, depend of what the router is doing).

It can't be the router.
I use port 12345 for another game, and it works fine.

6112 worked fine for the first few games when I first installed the program.

can be an antivirus or a firewall blocking FA specifically (and not others programs).

Also remember that it uses UDP and not TCP.

I'm just telling you what is happening, I can only guess the cause. But the server never receive your UDP packet.

My firewall is off, and I don't use antivirus software.
I forwarded the UDP ports only.

I can host dedicated servers on four different games, but can't connect to FA...

Ok, but the packet never reach the server. That's how it is, and it's not the server as hundred of players are able to do it right now :)

Just find what is blocking your port. Try uPnP. Try another port.

Can simply be another application holding it.
