MP connection issues

Post by gids »

i Tried everything but i cant play MP games on a normal way and i can play any game
now i really like this game so ill try posting my prob here
problem:a i can enter the MP room but as soon i want to get in a game it says" connection failed"
solutions:from what i read on the forum you need to be some sort of bill gates and be able to juggle with ports routers ,numbers and some other things which i got a serious headache from ..seriously:unsure:
-i putted AVG off
-i putted windows Firewall off
-i checked my port it was fine
-ireinstalled the game 2 times just to be sure
-checked for DMZ ,but apparently unneeded ,only for hosts
-checked for virtual routers....but comon cant be that difficult
-i nagged at peoples head in the MP community :p
garner helped me then and apparantly a little program does help ,,its called hamachi,the problem lies that everyone then needs hamachi installed ....which is not mus fun for me ofc because ,so what is the difference that a little prgram can do what the game cant ?
but the problem is still not solved from what i read people had that problem 10 months ago aswell,and some people succeeded to solve it

anyways if someone has a SIMPLE working solution without disabling all your safeties,and a thick explonation please let me know ty :)

It looks like you've tried everything I would suggest... :(

Does the host get any king of message when you try go connect to him? Sometimes if the client gets a connection failed, the problem description may show up on the hosts screen and also in their log.

Have you verified you are using the latest version of the game? 1.2

I tried hosting a game for gids and got no message when I went to staging. His computer never tried to connect as far as I could tell.

You shouldn't have to open a port if you are connecting to a host, only if you are the host.

But to open a port if you are hosting; check out this site: http://portforward.com/

It has port forwarding guides by router manufacturer. It's not hard at all to map a port.

I don't think it's your computer.. It's either your router or your ISP. What is the make/model of your router?
