Can't connect to most players

Postby realatlas » 05 Dec 2013, 23:59

Okay, first of all: Yes, I did use the search function. If my problem already appeared and got solved, I am sorry and will be thankful for showing me that thread.

I got bad connection issues in three different cases:

Case 1: can't connect at all to a game. I just can't join it. After i double clicked on the game in FAF, FA starts, but all i see is a black screen. The little window saying "trying to connect" or whatever just doessn't appear. Thats the worst. Happens with nearly every third game.

Case 2: I can connect to the game. But in the middle of the game i lose connection to ONE player. For some seconds i see that counting-up, then it stops again, but the game freezes. Looking at networkstats it says that that player got a bottleneck ack. But all other players still got connection to him/her, it's only me who hasn't. Had that quite a few times now, it's annoying, especcially for my game mates.

Case 3: I can connect to the game and play without troubles. But after the game is over, it says that i couldn't connect to some players; only via proxy.

In all 3 cases that window looks like that:

I looked up that wiki page for connection troubles and tried everything possible.

Of course I opened that UPD port 6112. And I tried UPNP. DMZ is not possible, my router is not able to do that.
I turned off my firewall, even my antivirus programme. Nothing changed.
I'm desperate.

Any suggestions?

And by the way: Where do I find game.log? It's not in that folder..

No... i just had case 2 again. It sucks so much. I don't have any problems with my internet connection at all, it's only in troubles with FAF. After i left the game right now, it said that i was connected via proxy to every single player. How can that be? Seriously??

Firewall/Router issues. Check the wiki about connection problems.

Wow, i got some news.

I just downloaded 2 port-checking programmes and both say UPD port 6112 is closed. I have NO idea why.
I disabled my windows firefall, shutted down my antivirus programme. And yes, i enabled port forwarding for UDP 6112 at my router settings.
But it still says "Your port is not open or not reachable!".

I hope I will find out where this fucking shit comes from .... i'll let you know.

A port can't be opened if there is no program that listen to it.

How do i make the port listen to FA? In FAF, menu Set Game Port I chose 6112, too: http://puu.sh/5JIp0

This is my router configuration: http://puu.sh/5JImf

And i even tried an exception rule at the firewall settings: http://puu.sh/5JIv7
I also set the game path for the FA.exe here, too.

What else to do?
