So I made a map with an interior.
I can load the map fine myself and before (6 months ago) other people connecting to my server could to.Recently I was hosting on BL again and was working on my mod so I wanted to invite someone. A friend came but he kept disconnecting with the issue in the topic subject. I tried getting on my second desktop (with another key) and connected via query internet only to get the exact same error. Its a simple map with one interior and a couple triggers.
Before I actually got my friend in the server I had some trouble getting the ports working. I disabled uPnP in BL and my router and went the more traditional port forwarding way which worked. He was then able to connect but then got the above error. I would also like to mention after scanning with a port checker (
http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ to be exact) it told me that I did not have either 28100 or 28200 open (both of which I forwarded and tried hosting on with success).
Is it the map, is it my lack of port forwarding knowledge, is it a bad packaging job, is it some new thing in BL that I have missed?
I exported in torque using both map2dif and Legacy DIF and neither helped the error (original map I think is in map2dif)
