Connection problems to other players (minus host)

Postby baddestwheel » 26 Jan 2016, 04:07

edit: I was talking to a friend, and he reminded me to try running in compatibility mode as well as installing to my main drive (I always have problems with server like software when they aren't installed in my main drive), this worked to fix the problem.

Original post:

hi, I'm new to FAF I am having connection problems. I already tried portforwarding port 6112, enabled UPnP, ran in admin mode, and the proxy test shows all green across the board

I am running windows 10

the error message that keeps popping up when I disconnect from a lobby (in this case Precision was the host, yet like every other case he was the only one I could connect to)

Thanks in advance

hello

well, first, if you have configured your pc properly and the other person has not, that message can occur..

about you being sure that your settings are good, just attach the logs, there's information about your connection in them,

logs are located in "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\logs"

Thank you for the advice SpdyGonzales. I wasn't certain that it was my logs that were good after four attempts to connect with the same issue. The edit in the original post shows how I fixed the problem. At the very least I hope that this post can help someone with similar or the exact same problem as me in the future.
