Comcast, XFinity, Cox and Shaw Communications Users - Important

[dmbrown]

My suggestion to anyone that has Comcast is when they’re able to purchase their own modem and router to do so. I have my own modem and router and have not had any problems with hosting games in FG classic or Unity.

This is a new thing for most of the major players in the USA, Cox, Comcast, Charter, Time Warner, AT&T, Spectrum, Xfinity, etc.

This ISP thing is happening to everyone, Unity or not. Also, remember this is still Beta, the full release has not been set. I do understand your frustration, going through it too.

It would probably help SmiteWorks getting some traction with Comcast and Co if everyone contact Comcast and told them that their automated security prevents them installing/updating/playing the game.

This fixed my issue as well. Rather annoying, you'd think they'd allow you to poke specific holes into the security, rather than be faced with simply disabling the whole service.

What we need to do is get some of the Comcast IT dept using FG for their games and let them fix the issues for their own convenience.

For those who are having trouble with Comcast / Xfinity or one of the other big ISPs, I strongly recommend trying ZeroTier VPN. it was the only way I could get up and running.

I went through this whole thing and I don't see a fix for Comcast. I am doing my first FGU game playing Pathfinder 2. Any help would be appreciate. My friend was able to get it working if he used his phones internet.

Again any fix for Comcast internet providers would be great.

This does not affect just everyone, but the URL to disable is; https://internet.xfinity.com/more/my...ices-disabling. If you have your own router or modem, this may not be the issue. Xfinity Xfi seems to be the culprit, depending on your service and equipment. The brands/models are potentially a part of this advanced security thing.
