Often disconnecting from particular players after moving.

Postby jediflamaster » 30 Mar 2017, 02:01

I used to live in Poland, I moved to denmark. Since I moved, I get connection problems with particular players. There are players with which I can play without any problems, but there some with which I eventually lose connection, and one of us has to leave for the game to continue. I'm using the same rig I used in poland, I'm plugged to a router with an ethernet cable like I was in poland, the only thing that changed is the AP/Router and the ISP. This problem makes it unable for me to play team games, because of the risk I f*** it up for everyone. Pls help.

If the answer is "The netcode is shit" just tell me "the netcode is shit". Then I'll at least be able to abandon hope.

There are probably plenty of people in the FAF community who didn't forward their ports properly. It may even be another hurdle regarding accessibility. Last time I checked, the wiki text regarding port forwarding was not very informative. It would help if the text stated exactly what executables need which permissions on which protocol. Maybe the wording could be improved for non-techies as well.

It would also help a lot if both clients showed your connectivity. Maybe with some brief instructions on how to fix it or where to read more. It would be even better if the client could show you the connectivity of other players, so you can point out the problem (and kick the ones who are indolent).
