Author Topic: Can't connect to servers  (Read 537 times)

I've been having a problem where active servers have --- ping and stay like that all the time


When I try to connect these servers it keeps saying that it is sending punch packets


This happens to specific servers and it still says --- ping when I query internet

I would appreciate some help to solve this issue

That means the server is actually down, you can't connect to it. (I think)

It shows no ping even on servers that are live and populated so no, it has nothing to do with the server being down or not

Servers show "---" ping if they aren't port forwarded properly and use UPnP.
Unfortunately, UPnP has some problems.
Some users (including you) can't connect to servers with it:

Can you look into Blocklands options under Network and see if UPnP is turned on?
I don't know if that will fix it.

You can also try connecting to those servers from a different location.
It is possible the problem lies with your own router, that it doesn't support UPnP.

Or it might be a firewall issue.
So Try turning it off for a minute.
UPnP needs a port opened, although I doubt it needs to be on your side.
But try anyway.


The only other thing you can do is ask the server host to port forward.
