Can't connect to MP Games

Post by DerrickDude »

Bug Report
Game Mode: MP
Hunter Name: DerrickDude

Description:
Can't connect to other MP games and people can't connect to mine. Everything is normal up until splash screen. After about 1 minute, splash screen goes away to a black screen that says "Can't connect to host - Restart Game"
I am ruling out connection issues on my end as everything worked fine before the patch on 3/16/16.

Steps to Reproduce:
Join a MP game

It seems this problem has reappeared in the last week. Our club has tried to host several MP games from various members with limited success of actually connecting to a MP session.

My friend and I cannot connect either.

Information on effected computers:
Both computers in the same house, but different rooms.
Both computers use the UML290 Verizon usb modem, that has worked flawlessly before the latest patch, in MP games.
Windows 7 on both computers, all drivers updated and all windows 7 updates downloaded and installed.

Things we tried : making sure windows firewall allowed the connections and that port 32303 on UDP was allowed through for theHunter game.
We even cut windows firewall off, and still could not connect.

Error message given each time was "Can't connect to host, restart game"

Also want to add in my case this is through the Steam client, not webpage.

I have exactly the same issue as Trackfield except

- both computers are on Windows10
- using an EE Brightbox

I have looked at the potential issues above, no change; I also note that other MP games World of Tanks and DayZ works fine on both computers simultaneously still, so I do not think it is an issue at my end.

Thank you

This issue should have been resolved an hour ago, hosts will need to create a new game then it will work. Let me know if the problem continues!
