NEED HELP: Problems with connect

[BlackBell58]

It was started yesterday. When i came from school my inet has gone for 2 hours. After this time turned on, but i cant play with my friends. I just pressing a one million times on my friends to connect, but it just view "connecting...." for 3-5 sec and disappear. How i can to fix it?(Hamachi tried and firewall is off) P.s. sorry for my english. Idk it well

Having the same issue trying to join my friend. My other friend can join him no problem. Tried reinstalling and verifying. Thanks

**Followed the Devs "Fix tutorial" and still didn't work. Even disabled geforce overlay. The issue is both when trying to join through steam and servers when they periodically appear.

*** Side note, on the "Click to join" list my friends name appear for a time then dissapear, only to reappear several seconds later.

**** Getting a new router on Friday, will let you know if that fixes the issue as I've read that might be a potential problem.

udkengine.ini file

Port=27015 doesnt work=bugged out empty server list
Port=7777.....bingo server list is full

yeah old router could be an issue so can ones ISP=asking isp for a static ip should fix that!
windows firewall was the main cause (its set as block connection by default) for me so i made a guide= how to force multiplayer to work
it also fix windows firewall rules bug
fix still working today as i made a perma fix 3 years ago=it never fails to connect:)

maybe look here i posted alot of info about setting up multiplayer via the fix i been using for 3 years that is still working fine to this day:)
I reverse engineered an Arma 3 windows firewall server fix to work in VCD permanently!!!
port forwarding via static ipv4 ip address is required to get my fix working:)
make a static ip in network and sharing centre=the adapter that is connected to internet=
edit the ipv4 protocol settings to make a static ipv4 address with windows:)
run network troubleshooter to switch on dhcp after ya done that n restart pc
use that ip in router forwarding rules=

without that fix i cant play multiplayer at all as nothing on internet or steam forums worked=
so i fixed it myself permanently=servers never fail to join unless its a workshop map that eachother not subbed to so sub to same maps as eachother then it will work:)
unsub or both sub to medical rust=the big banger radio in that map stops every map from connecting=it wants to play csgo music in every level including the DLC????
map author failed to setup a stand alone custom radio=cancelled connect attempt in every map!!!
dunno if map author has fixed thier map to work with new game update yet either=i wont sub to that one as it breaks multiplayer

cheating in the level editor will also stop multiplayer from working=never save any map in the level editor unless its a map you made:)
long time ago i joined a server that was hosting unearthly excavation
the host cheated the gate open in the level editor without using bobs notes=as soon as i joined server it downloaded thier cheat map and borked my copy of it=had to delete digsite.udk and verify the game cache to fix that=I think the devs fixed that problem ages ago though:)
same bug would also install hoh for free if waited a few days while it tried to connect to host if host was hosting hoh map for 3 days solid=download from host bug got fixed
so if someone cheated in the level editor it will reject the connection

i suspect windows firewall rules=it set as block connection by default=cancelled connect attempt when someone tries to join your server
my guide fixes that problem:)

one must also port forward ones router both as host and client=get all your friends to port forward thier router:)

mutiplayer is awesome in this game=never stops working unless host shuts down the server lol:)
====================================
computer virus can stop multiplayer from working too=Hamachi is dangerous=the 70 links i tried to download Hamachi all had a virus exept for 1 link and it failed to connect mp anyway=doesnt work
avast terminates infected downloads before the download completes
even if Hamachi is clean while you play coop someone can intentionly send a virus through hamachi on purpose
Hamachi is a virus

use Tungle or Evolve if gonna use a vpn=safer
never disable windows firewall or antivirus software=leave those running at all times

browser hijackers can stop mp from working too=
slither.io
torn tv
the usual hard to get rid of crapware that comes with trial software
set firefox to never remember history=cant get browser jacked then:)
scan pc for virus regularly if pc is clean multiplayer will be fine:)

heres the only clean hamachi link i can find and its still bundled with crapware=
https://hamachi.en.lo4d.com/virus-malware-tests
every other link is infected with malware
app is safe but using it to connect to others is not=only use hamachi to connect to people you trust

skip my guide if new router supports nat traversal=skip static ip setup forward the ports
edit udkengine.ini
port 7777 works=uses steam to connect:)

mp in this game works fine without vpn's=port forward router=start mopping in coop with everyone

I tried almost all of these things with my current router. Thanks for taking the time to reply, will update on Friday.
