SOLVED:connection issues, Nat and other.

Reinstall the lobby over and over again won't do anything, it's FA that doing the connections.

Reinstalling FA over and over won't do anything either, as it's a router problem, not a configuration problem.

But I think there is a bug in the server...

[jhvisto]

mayby bug in there, but something other here.. i do not know anymore what to do, all firewalls are down, in win and router, all traffic allowed in and out, antivirus down. maybe it is that zyxel shit that doing this and position of stars are wrong. i'm scruwing foliohat on and maybe trying something other dramatic shit.

connecting connecting and connecting.

There's actually an issue at hand here that FAF expects your forwarded port to be identical to your local port (I think)!

Set both your internal and your forwarded port to the same number (e.g. 26112) and try it.

[jhvisto]

both are same. i'v tried different ports also,

and PFportchecker shows that my port 26112, 6112, 9103, 30350-30351 both tcp and udp are open.
i'm confused how it can be that fa doesn't connect..

I will check it tonight.

You receive a attempt to connect BEFORE the server is sending you the authorisation to accept it.

Than can be caused by a big lag between you and the server (because he won't send the command before it told you it can be authorized).

Can you ping faforever.com ?

Chosen seems to have the same provider than the host of the game. Do you have the same too ?

If you have 10 ms delay between you and the host, but 60 ms between you and the server, that can explain all these things :

Server send you and player X the command to connect to each other.
30 ms : X receive the command. It ask your game to connect.
40 ms : You receive X command. He is not authorized, so it's rejected.
60 ms : You receive the server command to authorize X. Too late.

I will look to put a delay for connections inside the server.

[jhvisto]

most likely chosen has same, Sonera Isp.

[Ze_PilOt]

Ok, maybe he has a better routing to the server. No matter what it can happen rather often, I have to fix it.

edit: nope we do not have same ISP but me and Lad3 have.
