Cant join or host campaign with someone.

Postby fires123 » 12 Oct 2016, 22:34

I cant join or host a campaign mission with 2 different people. theres no problem when a third party host the game and it works with no problem in a normal faf game, so this is a campaign problem. Both guys were from GB( dunno if it has any relation with the problem).

the pop-up says that the host has left the game even though the lobby is still up. HALP

From my observations, this happens when you cannot connect to the host of the lobby. When you don´t get send any data by the host, your client thinks that the lobby is closed and says that the host left.

As speed2 says, logs would be nice, but I am 90% certain it´s a connectivity issue.

From log:

Code: Select all

You are trying to join the game and your client wasn´t able to map your port. This is definitely a network problem in my oppinion ( bear in mind, I am inexperienced in reading those logs, so I might be wrong ).

Have you checked if UPNP is activated in your client and all the usual networking remedies? ( port forwarding, switchfing from wifi to cable, etc.? )
