NAT - 2 players behind nat no longer working.

2 players behind nat no longer working.

took about 10 hours to troubleshoot nat to make supcom and FA work before the patch
turns out our router was using port randomization in nat, had to disable that
enabled custom ports for each internal IP and their assigned port for UDP
set the FA client to use those custom ports.

we do not have upnp checked in the client our router does not support it.

now when we connect it either hangs forever "connecting"
or we get into the lobby and neither of us can connect to eachother.

we can connect to everyone else fine, any tips?

worked fine before this most recent update

it appears to work, if we both set our ports to 6112 and enable upnp tho our router does not support this.

it then disconnects are random intervals .... continuing to test

Are you both using the same router?

if so... each one have to forward a diferent port ... for example..

PC1
IP = 192.168.1.100 forward on your router port 6112 to ip = 192.168.1.100,

PC2

IP = 192.168.1.200 forward on your router port 7002 to ip = 192.168.1.200.
