Port Forward Issue

Postby Tole » 15 Dec 2017, 06:53

Port 6112 is forwarded in my router. I have uninstalled all antivirus and disabled all firewalls.

The game will not launch using port 6112:
Code: Select all
2017-12-14 22:46:34,111 INFO     client.connection              Outgoing JSON Message: {"command": "InitiateTest", "target": "connectivity", "args": [6112]}
2017-12-14 22:46:44,396 INFO     connectivity.helper.ConnectivityHelper Connectivity state is STUN, mapped address: 68.226.203.32:52201


If I use a port listener program to open Port 6112, the port is open and can been seen external of my router.

Why will Supreme Commander not open port 6112?

Just for reference, I have attached a screen shot of port listener having open 6112 and being able to be seen externally.

make sure to have the port forwarded with UDP not TCP

Thanks for sending me down that path. After I checked with port 6112 for UDP, it was not getting through. It seems my router/modem is not working correctly and will not forward any UDP ports, although it was forwarding TCP just fine. I bridged it to just be a modem and used an old router, now the ports forward just fine.
