"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.

Do you use a27 AND went through the FAQ?

Maybe try to catch a dev on IRC https://www.wildfiregames.com/irc.html

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.

[Ludwik]

Gurken Khan,

I speak French.

Here is for the firewall :

Pour Windows Defender, je ne sais pas.

@Stan,

Yes, it's here with the name "pyrogenesis.exe".

Tu dois pouvoir cocher pour reseau public aussi au cas ou ton reseau soit mal configuré.

Sinon tu peux aussi checker les logs du jeu pour voir si l'upnp fonctionne. Sinon il faudra un port vers une ip statique.

Hello, 

 

The firewall is OK (Public). 

The logs are OK.

 

[Stan`]

Du coup c'est les hôtes qui sont mal configurés. Ou toi qui a un CGNat genre Free qui partage ton IP avec 4 personnes.

 

Normalement cependant avec ton setup tu devrais pouvoir host au moins.

 

[Ludwik]

@Stan,

I'm with Orange with a LiveBox and I don't share anything.

[Stan`]

Okay. Pour faire simple, le message n'est pas lié à toi c'est les autres qui n'ont pas configuré les choses correctement de leur coté.

Tout le setup que tu viens de faire c'est pour que les gens puissent join tes parties. Tu ne peux rien faire de plus pour pouvoir rejoindre les leurs.

It's not about you personally but how your ISP set up the network; carrier-grade NAT (CGN/CGNAT) for example has shared IPs.

Maybe try to contact the orange online help, they seem to be able to help like here: https://communaute.orange.fr/t5/ma-connexion/Connexion-jeux-en-ligne/m-p/2667184

Okay, it's too complicated, I'll give up, I'll play locally !
