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

I thought so and tried it but it still didnt help and when i did an online port check it still said the ports are closed.

I tried this one:

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?
