I can't connect to any gameserver...

Post by paolo »

Hey people. I have very annoying problem which have appeared just today.
As said in topic, i cannot connect to any gameserver from lobby. Game launches, and theres no loading, only "connecting to.." and nothing else till game autooff after 41 seconds of waiting for reconnect. It happens at all auyohosts which i tried, many times. I checked my firewall settings, they are ok, checked ping to the gameserver, and there is response. Also, i made a traceroute from custom autohost (teraDSD), Also i am adding a screenshots of this all. Can someone help me plz? I want play again Spring!

Try disabling firewall completely. If you have NAT/modem/router, reset it to default settings.
Normally you don't need to add any extra rules anywhere.

Try downloading some udp test tool to verify that problem indeed is blocked UDP.
It could be blocked by your ISP too.

I didnt check UDP with a tool, but... maybe that with isp blocking udp is true. Just connected my mobile to pc and used as modem, and then tried run some Spring stuff... Working fine! But this solution does cost me much, can it be solved other way? I dont have much money on my mobile... ;]

Edit: but why my ISP could block UDP ports?

Problem Solved.

Hi again,
Luckily, I just solved this problem.
The thing is, my friend was visiting me for a couple of a days. He have an iPhone, and a wi-fi in it. Whenever his mobile was connected wirelessly to router, i dont know why all TCP and UDP ports including Spring communication ports were blocked. And when his mobile was offline the router, ports were available again. We've discovered it accidentally, so we were able to fix this problem.
(Thank to me!) :P

Please close this thread and mark as solved.
