CenturionRoamer Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Hello, So, a day ago, me and my friend decided to play 0 A.D. together. My PC is more powerful, I have better internet connection and had some previous experience of hosting servers because I used to host dedicated Minecraft and Terraria servers and they worked perfectly fine. First of all, I port-forwarded 20595 for both TCP and UDP as suggested. Then I ensured that we both used Alpha 21 and created a lobby. My friend joined together with some other players perfectly fine, however after I launched the server and the map loaded, my friend got disconnected with the message "Connection to server lost. Reason: Unknown reason". He tried reconnecting but ended up getting the same error over and over again. Other players could play just fine. At first I thought the problem was on his side(even though I was not sure what was the cause of it), but when he tried connecting to lobbies of other players, he could play without any issues. At this point I decided to write this topic. I should also mention, that none of us use UPnP for extra safety and that we live separately(we don't use LAN or VPN). We both allowed pyrogenesis.exe through Windows firewall. Any kind of help would be appreciated.

elexis Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 If the connection can't be established, the port forwarding rule is wrong (probably for the wrong IP address) but there might also be a local firewall blocking things.

elexis Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Oh wait he could connect once - in that case it sounds like he becomes disconnected in the loading screen as the map was too big or something (the better the ping, the less patient the server will be disconnecting clients).

CenturionRoamer Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Ok, Today I tried to host a smaller map size and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the advise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
