Will FH5 use Teredo?

[TheWarlock]

I have had nothing but s-constant problems with FH4 and Teredo.
Basically I have only been able to play online for 25% of the time I have the game. Currently I can no longer connect.

So, before I spent even one € on FH5: Will it use Teredo? If so I absolutely strongly recommend to not buy it if you like to play online. I love FH but the frustrations with not being able to connect online is just disgracefull.

You're dumbass explanation required it. Being snarky =/= being clever.

IDk but with steam you shouldnt have an issue

teredo on my pc would always work when forza was not installed with the ms store = i uninstalled forza and teredo worked again

with the steam version i dont have that problem so i think it should be fine if you didnt have any problems with the steam version of fh4

[Shikiagi]

Yeah I had so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ many issues and majority of the fixes wouldn't work, legit took me hours to get it working and then it breaks again

On most Windows installation Teredo is supposed to just work out of the box when running Forza Horizon 4. But for many Teredo just wouldn't initialize correcly, even on an optimal clean WIndows install.

And if Teredo cannot initialize, you won't be able to connect online.
I've had that problem with the MS Store version of Horizon 4 and I had to go as far as to adjust tons of settings in the group policy menu in Windows. After that I was able to play Horizon 4 online again.

But I don't know whether or not there is any Teredo issues with the Steam version of Horizon 4. And I don't know if Horizon 5 uses it.
They said they've made server changes since Horizon 4. We could always hope that means that Teredo won't be needed anymore.

Most ISPs in my country come with a Teredo filter because its apparently an outdated system that can be used to attack your router. Since I live in student accommodation, I cannot disable this filter. This makes all multiplayer Xbox games unplayable on the Microsoft Store AND on Steam. The only exeption being Halo:MCC since that can run natively through Steam instead.

This ♥♥♥♥ happened to me, one day I couldn't connect to an online session but could still buy cars and search for liveries. I did a fresh install of Windows recently so I have yet to check if it works now. But if this is a non issue with the Steam versions then I'm definitely going to get Horizon 5 on here.

FH4 and most other Xbox games on Steam also require Teredo. It's a big rip.

I had the same issue with FH4. Using a VPN (Surfshark in my case) solved (or more like circumvented :D) that issue.
Haven't tried with any other Xbox games or VPNs though.

You can check your Teredo connection by going in to windows settings and then gaming and xbox networking. It is the NAT type I believe and my connection will not connect to it. Lets hope Steam version is okay. Come to think of it this may be my problem with Microsoft Flight Sim.

Teredo is peak Microsoft programming
My favourite bit is that if it stops working for whatever reason you have to manually go to settings and press the 'fix it' button yourself, instead of it figuring out that it isn't working and just doing it automatically.

I wonder too why the solution to it always breaking was just adding a 'fix it' button you constantly have to press, instead of just like
>Actually fixing the issue

They are all using xbox live services anyways.

I know FH3 used it, I had issues with it previously.

Do you maybe know what you changed? I am stuck with this issue and have tried everything I could find when searching "Xbox live multiplayer server connectivity blocked" on Google. I am only left with a complete fresh install of Windows 10, as the "Reset and keep files" one did not work. What pisses me of the most is the fact that it worked before and all of the sudden doesn't. I would really appreciate any reply. I also added you as a Friend so you don't have to write all of that in this discussion if you prefer. Cheers!

I played FH4 on Steam and it certainly uses Teredo.

First weeks everything worked, then i couldn't connect online anymore. I Tried all the suggested solutions from the net and started contacting Steam/devs and eventually Microsoft for a fix. One said that the other was responsible. Ultimately they asked me to manually open certain ports on my modem, which I had to contact my ISP for that to do. they refused, but told me I could open them myself, making all warranties null and void, they would also no longer offer any help and support the second I manually open these ports!

This is a disgrace. Because I opened the ports and nothing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ changed!!!
So as far as customer support goes, Teredo issues are the worst, and I speak of multiple decades of gaming here.

Eventually the only thing that worked was a clean install of windows 10. After that I could play online. and yet, a month ago, the exact same problem appeared again and FH4 is unable to be played online . And that is trough Steam.

I went for it, and bought FH5 anyway, knowing full well the support is ♥♥♥♥ and the game may not be played online, but at least I can let you guys know then if there is a difference between FH4 and FH5.

And tbh, judging from this forum, I may be very dissapointed?? The feedback is pretty bad so far.

I'll let you guys know once I started it up, should be tonight, hopefully.

[BadrO_RambO]

please give us a feedback we would appreciate it for us waiting it to officialy try it

Yo, I think I fixed it for a friend who couldn't connect because of Teredo.

Just follow the steps in SOLUTION 3, and DISREGARD anything it says about "if you see this or don't see this", it doesn't matter if you see it or not, use the command lines either way:

That makes no sense. It does uses Teredo even trough Steam. I can play but not online. I have had this issue multiple times before and usually a reinstall of Windows 10 is the only solution. the internet is full of people with problems with this game and teredo, plus possible solutions which usually do not work.

Do you play trough Steam or another platform? Because this does not make sense.

Yes it uses Xbox Live Teredo Adapter and it sucks ass. Online is almost impossible atm. Tons of crashes and disconnects, they're working on it. Check the xbox app to see if teredo is working on your pc. Should look like this:
