Unable to create/start a game [SOLVED]

Hey all, ever since whenever update that happened recently I have been unable to host or join a game. I keep on getting this error

Game was working fine for me last time I played about 2 weeks ago, using Downlords client.

P.S. also an additional question since my post in help was unanswered for some time could you give me a solution if possible here

Thanks all.

please read the red text above before you post

a complete log of the client would be great (C:\ProgramData\FAForever\logs\)
downlords-client.log should have infos about the java client
(just attach the file to your post - please don't copy paste the log into the text box)

My bad, ok just uploaded it. I also read through both the threads above, nothing in them describes my problem.

[PhilipJFry]

gonna ask one of the java client devs to look at your case

[Geosearchef]

The client is unable to bind a replay server to the requested port. Some other process is probably blocking port 15001.
This is fixed in the to be released soon version.

https://github.com/FAForever/downlords- ... issues/792

Use TCPView or netstart to find out which application is blocking port 15001 and either stop that one from doing that or get a newer preview version of downlords client.

Ok, my quick fix was to uninstall Downlord's client and use the original FAF client and it works now. Thanks
