Hello all,
I can't get into any MP games anymore.
I'm running the game through Steam, accessing the internet wirelessly through a router. I've tried disabling UPnP, adding my computer's IP address to the router's DMZ, and setting up a port forwarding rule for UDP ports 5010-5011.
I connect to the metaserver alright and get the list of available servers, but whenever I choose one to join it goes awry. I get the dialogue saying "connecting" but I either get 20-odd attempts with no luck, or it connects immediately and turns that bar but the "receiving" bar stays at rock bottom, with the "time remaining" clock flicking around randomly around the 8 minute mark, up and down, while beeping away.
Every so often I get straight into one with no problem, normally an empty Dedcon server. Joining a game in progress though is impossible, even if I just want to spectate, it tends to get as far as loading the chat box then gives me all these connection errors.
Does anyone have any tips?
Cheers,
Elmlea
