[FIX] Failed To Join - Can´t confirm matches (No Accept Button)

[Haie]

Problem:
Join Game -> Waiting -> Match found but there is no confirm button

Solution:
As most of you know whenever this happens it is because your NAT table of your router is full. For example: You are not able to open new websites while old connections like VoIP etc. still work.

The solution is to reduce the "Max Pings per Minute" in Steam.
You can find it in Steam-> Settings-> Downloads + Cloud and try to lower it to 500/250.

IF IT STILL DOESNT WORK:

Lowering it to 250 didnt solve my issue.
In my case i had to lower the value even more. Steam doesn´t give the option to change it to below 250 thats why we need to do it manually in the registry.

--> Press WINDOWS + R (or Start - Execute)
--> Enter regedit
--> Look for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam
--> Lower the value of "MaxServerBrowserPingsPerMin" in 25/50 ticks.

Good indicator to tell whether it helps is to join Matchmaking and check whether you can open new websites or not.

For me "MaxServerBrowserPingsPerMin" with "60" started to work fine (i recommend not to go any lower than 60 else it will take hours to find a match).

Hopes this will help my friend. His getting annoyed like every after 1 game he needs to restart or more so that it will work, worst is sometimes it work until 5 restart of steam. We tried all the possible ways to no avail. I'll let him know this solution :P

Out of 50 tries i couldn´t join a single one.
After i lowered the value i could join every game :)
Let me know if this helped!

I have a macbook and am having this issue. Any suggestions?

[Haie]

I dont have a Mac but i found this:


"Apple have files that contain the same sort of information that the windows registry does. They are .plist files.

/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences - Prefs unique to your login - like HKEY_CURRENT_USER."

Can you find anything related to Steam in that folder/.plist file?

Its simple when you are waiting for the match dont press any button (mouse or keybord) and it will work... the button will appear thats worked for me i never had same issue again

[Haie]

Can you reproduce this problem by moving your mouse (or keyboard)? Please try it.
Because that doesnt make any sense to me and i doubt it will have an effect on your routers NAT table.

[Ungur]

When I try to go to that folder it says it doesn't exist

[raziel]

i think is some kind of php/script etc like if you mouse click you chose another window... worked for me... now wile im waiting i dont touch in mouse or keybord and the accept button appears... :D try and if it works let us know...

[Haie]

Doesnt work.

[raziel]

yap... now isnt working for me too..... i aniway i found a button on the "finding match" screen on the shoulder of the cop... if you pass the mouse it sounds like a 'click'

[Haie]

Have you tried my solution? It works for most 90% of the time and i can open new websites while searching for games which mean the router NAT table is not full -> you can respond to the matchmaking server.

[raziel]

i will try now... and thanks for helping bro :D
