FA stalling during 'Connecting'

[shoot2kill]

I have just installed Forged Alliance Forever, however when I try to play a game fa always stalls during 'Connecting'. After a while I have to press the 'Abort Connect' button which gets me back to FAF but that's not where I want to be.

I had no trouble playing games on GPGnet until it died. My router has the ports forwarded that were needed for playing on GPGnet.

I have attached my most recent logs.

Please help.

Do u have sorian ai or lem installed on your fa?

Also is your fa patched to 3599?

Sorian are LEM are blacklisted in FAF, so it's no longer a problem.

Probably a router issue, check your routers and firewalls.

What u mean blacklisted?

They are skipped when FA launch.

Check my routers and firewalls for what exactly ?

As I said I was using GPGnet until a few days a go so my router was fine for that.

What more needs to be done so it will work with FAF ?

Also I was assuming the logs would contain information that would help identify the problem for anyone who knows how to interpret the log information. What if anything do the logs I posted indicate ?

But we are not on GPGNET. They are still issues with FA that we are trying to understand in the case of a badly configured router.

But I don't even see some incoming packets in your logs, so my bet is on a firewall/router blocking all incoming connections. Remember that we are not using the same ForgedAlliance.exe, you have check your firewall rules !

Check the wiki for more infos, or ask on the techQuestions chat.

I can now connect to Forged Alliance games. The solution was to reset my router.

My router seemed to be working okay and I could surf the internet, play World of Tanks, use my ipad, etc.

However presumably the port forwarding function was corrupted in some way and was not working properly.

All my router settings are the same as they were before, including the port forwarding I set up for GPGnet. The router just needed a reset.
