Hi,
im having trouble joining and hosting games. Im on the release client (NOT beta).
Problems:
If i HOST a game: I can see multiple players connecting and immediately disconnecting. The same player is trying to connect multiple times in a short succesion.
(doesnt seem to happen anymore after forwarding port 11001 in my Firewall. At least not in the last 4 games)
If i try to JOIN SOME games (not all!) i get following error message:
"ComStar connection has been rejected.
Server failed to respond in time"
(still occuring after adding port 11001, which makes sense)
possible solution:
I also tested this with another player via discord. I couldnt joins his games neither could he join mine.
Forwarding all ports (didnt tried with 11001 at that time!) and he could connect to my hosted game but i still couldnt join his!!!
Adding port 11001 to my firewall/NAT seems to have helped hosting games (i am using pfsense). Now at least one Player which couldnt join before can. But this might only be by chance. I havent tested witht he other player yet.
I guess the problems could also occure if someone is running the beta client and i try to connect to his session as its mentioned in the beta-sticky? I didnt join a single game with the [beta] tag, actually i havent seen any game with the [beta] tag
And as stated above i tested this explicitly with another player where i managed to get it working (or it was a server issue), with the non-beta clients!
Do you get the same error message as above if you try to connect with the release client to a game which is hosted by the beta client?
Could someone official elaborate? I know it could also be because of the high interest in this game (yeah!) and more people are playing this game as expected. If Server issues are the case, make an annocement sticky for it please.
If adding the port realy helps, updating the FAQ might be a good idea?
