"Please Ensure That Your Firewall Permits Upd 4950 & 4955"

[besto]

cant connect to squads and cant send invites.
I've tried changing the ports through the in game options,
tried killing firewall all together,
tried allowing custom ports (4950 and 4955) through the inbound and outbound rules in advanced firewall settings
tried re-allowing private, public, and domain connections through firewall,
tried rebooting countless times,
I've done it all?

anyone know of a fix?

When you use an Anti Virus programm, try to allow the ports in there too. This was my problem once with Norton Online Secruity.

You have a router? You might need to modify firewall settings on that too. Otherwise, it is potentially possible that your ISP is just an ass.

^ Nowadays routers come with built in firewall securities and Nat Type restrictions.

You seem to have done all that's possible for your Windows Firewall, all that's left is the router.I'd check to see if 'UPnP' is enabled.

Other things you might want to check: Anti-Attack, Anti-Spoofing... basically stuff that's supposed to prevent hackers / DDOS from getting past your router. You might want to turn those off temporarily.

As a last resort you look for something that's labeled 'DMZ', and set your PC to be in the DMZ.

This bug has nothing at all to do with ports or anti-virus. Usually it occurs when the server becomes unstable in my experience or your ISP is having issues in your area. For some reason the game prompts you with this bug. I have also had it occur once between an update where it happened immediately after update and vanished after the following update. It simply blocked me out of using dojos/relays for a while but could play normally otherwise and had nothing to do with my end. It will likely resolve on its own after some time. Also try shutting your PC down and doing a cold boot (not a restart) and repairing your client to see if something corrupted in memory.

Or just go to your settings in-game and change it to something else, like 4960 or whatever.
