Though it may be up to indivdual router and setups of course, but it has worked for me, so i advise anyone who are having problems to try that my firewalls are on now yes, I disabled everything to try and troubleshoot what was wrong, and it seems to have been UPNP. So if have tried everything else including ports, firewall, etc you may as well try disabling upnp on your router. We DISABLED UPNP on our router(both of us) and we haven't had that problem again, this has been the case of previous hoi2 games also where disabling upnp fixed connection problems, after disabling upnp we have had no problems with connection and we haven't had to rehost once even. Ps: We did it with admin right on game, all firewalls off and the ports specified enabled ( I do not know if it it had an impact) Also it worked with hamachi and normal ip.ĮDIT: We had some problems again shortly after I posted, where we could manage to join eachothers game but after like a minute or so we would disconnect from eachother, my friend could see me typing but i couldn't see him, the chance of joining eachothers games also seemed to be completely random, even with the exact same configuration you had to get lucky to manage to join. You can go back a step and rehost though, you dont have to restart the game. So basically host a game but the client needs to join soon after or it won't work.

There seems to be something wrong with the multiplayer game room, if the game has been hosted too long you won't be able to join, so the host needs to host the game and the client needs to join very soon after or the game goes into an inactive state where it hangs for like a minute if you try to join. Yes, it works good with any pdox games.Īfter struggling for hours with this, trying out different settings and all that we finally got it to work reliably.

Sometimes you can think the problem is not your end, but after all the problems are only these three rules.įor safety for all paradox games i open 2300-2400 (it was written for eu2), 28000-29000 (hoi2 manual), 47400-47700. Also at Hamachi they recently limitted (free?) group to 7-8 users instead of 17 before - that makes problems for mp game to have several hamachi groups for intercrossing of users.īut the best solution is still same as written before - buy external ip, configure your router, firewall offs. If any player is using hamachi in game, all should use hamachi, even if connection by external ip to server - that avoid to have misconfiguration between players (in eu2 it meant like i see zero armies, while there can be several thousands troops). If your connection is under many routers or weird routers or HSDPA etc sometimes you have only blue - limitted connection, and you will drop the game after several minutes for sure.

With hamachi you should have green lights to server and to all (no blue, yellow or orange), and best if to all players. We tried one more client- tangle - it was unstable as well - connection was dropped out after some time. If you don't have, use hamachi ( Gameranger was not stable much, when we tried it - comparing hamachi All firewalls off or definetely made proper exceptions New LTE provides really stable ping (tested in World of Tanks), so should be playable.ģ. I never tried, but it should work to connect, though the ping is never stable. You can order external IP from your provider, and then if you receive directly, it should work (if through router, you need to set port forwarding at router).
