Connection timed out

[Basipek]

when i try to join a game, it says that the port forwarding is OK and says "connecting". After number 10 it says "connection timed out" and stops. I cant join any of the servers because of it. Please help.

Establishing a connection between two peers (the server and the client) requires the communication to be open (make sure you allow the game through your firewall and antivirus programs). If mythologicinteractive.com is down when you try to connect there is no NAT Punch-through available. Try to connect at a later time to the server.

If it still is problematic you or the server is most likely behind a symmetric NAT at which the NAT Punchthrough technique won't work. If you're behind a symmetric NAT you need to set up port forwarding.
Could also be one of the ISP:s blocking the ports required for the game (even though unlikely).

I allowed the game through my firewall but it is still the same ,what should i do?

I tried this on a different computer and it worked... but it is still the same on mine.

It solved itself. I dont know how it worked out but i think it is about restarting the router or maybe something else. Thanks for the help

These are symptoms of a port forwarding entry "breaking" because a (new) dynamic IPv4 address was assigned and it no longer matches the one in the initial entry created by you or by the game.

The online features worked on a different computer because it was set up differently or had just the right IPv4 address that one instance, and so did yours when the problem spontaneously solved itself.

If you're using the manual port forwarding method (which you probably should be, if you don't want to rely on luck) you'll have to modify the entry you created for SFD by finding out the new IPv4 address (Windows key + 'R' => 'cmd' => 'ipconfig') and using that as the new address.

It actually got fixed with the update just after this post.
