Unblock your 19800-19803 ports. For help, search google

[sam351]

Ok I will try that.

Any idea why it would just randomly do this? I haven't changed my PC or network or anything...

[sam351]

It did not help... I forwarded those ports... was that right the thing to do?

[sam351]

Well then YZMXer can you please change the thread title for me to "can't"... I hope someone has the solution... I paid 42 bucks for this It shouldn't just do this...

Your router's config page is probably http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1. The manual for the router should tell you the address if neither of those works. Once you're there set the firewall to low or none.

Ok. Any idea why it just suddenly did this though... I haven't touched any network settings ever... its really weird.

But thank you very much JLV for the reply.

I'm not sure about turning my firewall off though.. that seems dangerous... any other ideas as to why this just randomly happened?

If you don't want to let UDP packets in/out that's fine, but don't expect stuff that uses UDP to work in that case.

So did the game just recentally start useing UDP? That's what I'm trying to figure out here, why I could play online one day, and now I can't.

It's been UDP the whole time. One thing I can tell you for sure is that if your router is blocking outgoing UDP multiplayer will not work.
