"Join Game" in Multiplayer

[Ludwik]

Hello, 

When I click "Join Game" in Multiplayer, I get this message: 

Failed to connect to the server. 

This is often caused by UDP port 20595 not being forwarded on the host side. 

By a firewall or antivirus software. 

 

I have Windows Defender as my antivirus. 

For the firewall, it's the Windows firewall. 

 

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Also, Alpha 27.1 will include a patch fixing the automatic creation of port forwardings via UPnP, which should resolve the issue for some players entirely (to be precise, for those with UPnP enabled on their router).

@Gurken Khan,

Yes, thank you. 

But it's complicated for me; I don't know English. 

I have to translate the language every time.

@Vantha,

Thanks for the link

Hello, 

I checked my router, and I do have UPnP port 20595 open. 

So, I don't understand why it's not working ?

What language(s) do you speak?

So, that's the router. How about the firewall? And the antivir? I had to set exceptions for 0ad there.
