Author Topic: People can't connect to my server?  (Read 694 times)

Ok, before v20, people would be able to connect to my server and I would get some people. I have UPnP enabled, and it has always been ever since it has been added as a feature, but now, for some reason, only some people can connect, while I only get connection attempts by others. I would like a reason, it's just so boring and lonely at my server now.  :panda:

Why don't you just Forward Ports

I forwarded ports already and I'm having the same problem, except much worse. About 1 in 20 people that try to join get into my server, and every once in a while, I get a lucky day and my server works for 17 in 20. I never have lucky days anymore.

Sigh.

P.S. What is UPNP?

They are already forwarded.

Universal Plug 'n' Play, it's something in options that allows certain people to host without forwarding ports.

If your ports are forwarded, turn UPnP off.

Didnt v19 eliminate the Port Fowarding problem?


If your ports are forwarded, turn UPnP off.

I do this, but then it's still the same problem.

Plus, I said that I've been using UPnP with no problem for awhile.

I have the exact same problem, I can host and people can only connect to my server for 5 minutes after I create it... Its only since v20 that this happens.
