Warsow

Post by Gota »

Anyone still playing it?
I have an itch for it ATM.

I installed it and ran in some trouble(tried reinstalling it afterwards as well)...
Whenever i query the master server for servers my router gets flooded and disconnects.
This is the first time iv encountered such a thing...
I play all other multiplayer games fine.
I tried opening the ports the game uses but the same thing happens.
I tried looking in their forums and the only solution I found was opening the ports the game uses and changing a line in the game's config file so it queries only 1 server instead of the available 3.

It did not help.
Any of you encountered such a problem with Warsow or any other game?Did you solve it?

Another question:
When i forward a port what ip do i specify? my external ip, the one the net sees or an internal one inside my router?

final question:
Are all ports closed by default?and when soemthing tried to connect the router opens them?
Cause when i try to do online port open/close tests i cant find a single open port.
My router firewall is turned off and i have no other firewall..

I tried it and than i tried checking if the ports are open online and apparently they are not.
This is how it looks in my router:

Those are the 2 ports the game uses.
When i do an online port check it says its closed...wtf...?

also can the fact they are closed cause my router to disconnect completely when i try to query for servers through these ports?

Try temporarily disabling your firewall. That may be the reason

No it was an engine bug that the devs left in after it was discovered

are you certain you enter the correct ip?
basically type
/ipconfig all
into some console thing and try all adresses that come up.

been quite some time since i last played warsow...what changed with the jumping and why is it supposedly so bad now?
