*SOLVED* Friends cannot join server anymore (stuck at connecting to server screen)

[Nensei]

Hey guys, me and a group of friends have been playing 7D2D together on a peer-to-peer server, but lately they weren't able to join our server anymore.

It's a vanilla server with no mods, but when they see the server in the friendslist it says -1 ping. They get stuck on the connecting to server screen right after you click on Join. Anyone can help please? Thanks in advance!

I am having the same issue. At first I was getting Error 20006 on start up. Uninstalled 7D2D and reinstalled. Every which way I try to load the game I get stuck on the load screen. Anti-Virus Off or On same issue.

Edit: Litterally played League for an hour, rebooted my computer and joined the game I've been trying to join. I changed nothing, Default 7D2d Settings, Avast firewall active...

I have the same problems.
When i try to rejoin a server, i already played on,
It gives me an errornote.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Argument is out of range.
Parameter name: Invalid Port

The Serverip changes to a Number like: 618 295 for example.

i can rejoin my own savegame, put if i try a server with easy anti cheat on, it tells me again a number, and if i connect:

ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Argument is out of range.
Parameter name: Invalid Port.

the other version is, i am abel to join and i never get to join. i stuck in the connection screensaver.........tells me an hour that the game is starting....

windows 10,
fresh gameplay,
newest build alpha 17
no mods
etc.
i also reinstalled the game, the error stays the same.

It seems like this issue has been happening for a long long time, on PC and even on console versions. I wish The Fun Pimps would fix little issues like this please. We were getting close to the 3rd horde night and my friends were having such a good time playing the game!

I was checking my router port forwarding settings and realized there was nothing for 7D2D there. I opened cmd prompt and checked for IPv4 address. Once I got that number, I put it on my router settings to port forward that IPv4 address with port 26900 UDP/TCP. Seems like it's working fine for now, I'll update this thread later if all my friends are able to join normally

*UPDATE* port forwarding appears to fix our issues. Server is back to normal. Thanks for the replies!

..... i am just a casual gamer, and i don´t know, where to change anything . :(

it seems to be the server browser not my port, port is free.

Beating my head for so long trying to figure this out. My Fix... TURN OFF YOUR VPN! and if you have it WARP also.
