Infinite "Setting up Automatch" screen

[Squirrels]

Howdy,

My ranked games are frequently and usually getting stuck on the "setting up automatch" screen. Here are logs of an attempt with UPnP turned OFF:

Check that your FA port is routed and not firewalled. Can be your opponent problem too.

[ColonelSheppard]

if your opponent leaves automatch shortly before the game starts this will also happen.. i could be just bad luck

Thanks Ze for you reply, and for your maintenance of the game! I know it must be hard work, and I freaking love this game man, so nj.

Setting up the port to be outside of the router's firewall helped. The problem still exists, but I am able to play more frequently now. As a side note, the UPnP setting prevents me from finding matches.
