Connection issue again...with LAN

[micael]

Hi guys,
.

after the update desaster (rolling back to 30.4) and complete reinstall my players can´t connect over WLAN/Local mode to me anymore- I have the same router, same machine, windows10, windowsdefender disabled completely
Port 1802 still forwarded with UDP but players can only connect over cloud server now.
Any ideas what happened?

Thanks

Did you reserve the local IP address of your computer? If not, check your local IP and then update your port forwarding. If that hasn't changed, then check your network adapter and make sure it is still Private.

Thanks, but I used all your tips- only using private mode now,but nobody can connect to me in LAN mode- as I said, the only thing changed is an update from FGU and
windows 10- nothing changed on my side. Same router, same Laptop- I checked the login in and name and portforwarding for my laptop name on router- all ok, but still no connection for LAN- I can only use the open server for GMing.

Any more ideas?

thousands of things change on your computer every day that you use it. you just dont notice most of the time.

but more specifically - why are you running a 2 month old version?

can you run (as administrator)
netstat -p UDPv6 -b -a
is FG listening on UDP1802?

Are you trying to connect with IPv4 or IPv6?

Have you tried connecting from another computer on your network and using the local ip address?

Also, please note that if you are using Cloud server mode, players can only connect using your FG user name or from the lobby list. They can not use the Direct connection option, which is only for LAN mode.
