Connection failed?

[Blazinfire]

So me and a friend is trying to play, we are able to create the game lobby, but when they try to join my game, or i try to join theirs we instantly get a "connection failed" we have opened up the correct ports and done all that good stuff..

The weird part about this is, we both can go and join any other random game out there but we cant join our own.. is anyone having this problem?

Ya I just got home and was about to play with my friend and now it won't let us log in to our accounts :(

[Blazinfire]

I dont think its a problem with logging into our accounts, we can connect and login to runic's servers with our accounts, its purely trying to join the game with each other

[blitz1991]

yah i cant log in too LOL

[Leev]

same to me...

[Blazinfire]

lol i'm asking if you guys are having problems connecting to other players games not the runic servers!!!

[Axeleration]

Me too. :(

We're trying to co-op.

I had this problem before I think it's just a problem with the game cause shortly after me and a mate got in too his game.

I'm having this problem too. I can log into my Runic acct, and see games, but once I try to connect to my friend's game I get "connection failed." I'm usually able to connect to the Host, but once it trys to connect to Peers it failes.

I am having the same problem with connecting to certian games. I was able to join one and create one.

Update: Me and blaze tried again today and we can play just fine :).
Edit: Nevermind, it was only that 1 game that worked.

We are three friends trying to connect via Internet, but only the two of us can find each other's games. All of our versions of Torchlight 2 are from Steam, and disabling Anti-Virus Software and Firewall doesn't seem to do much.

[Blazinfire]

yea,right now for me and a friend to connect to each other (pre-patch that hit last night) we had to use a 2nd pc on my network to create a game lol

[Smacker_626]

Found a working solution here[forums.runicgames.com] on runic's official TL2 forums.

Basically, regardless of who's connecting to who, if you and someone else are both behind a router and are both using the same internal ip address, you'll get an immediate "connection failed" when trying to connect to each other. One of you just has to change your internal ip address and everything will work fine.

I know this is an old post but I just thought it bears mention: I just did a LAN game with 3 other players today. We were getting a "connection failed" message constantly; only one of our players was able to connect to the host, the other two of us were getting "connected to host...connecting to peers...FAILED" message.

Turned out that one of the four of us hadn't yet allowed the firewall access for Windows and Torchlight 2, and so that one person (who was the one who connected to the host successfully) was preventing the other two of us from joining because apparently our two other hosts couldn't contact that peer.

So make sure that ALL of the clients, not just the host computer, have allowed the firewall exception for Torchlight 2! That did the trick quite well for us.

This solved my LAN issues with my friends. Thank You.
