Cannot connect to multiplayer server (log attached)

Post by anstosa »

I just played a multiplayer game last week and it worked perfectly (I was hosting the game, forwarded the port, everyone could connect). Then today people couldn't connect to me (when they tried it instantly said "X is being dropped from the game" for a while and then dropped them). They eventually gave up and someone else hosted. Everyone else was able to connect to the new host but I wasn't. It would say can't connect to server and on their end it would look the same as before "X is being dropped from the game". It must have something to do with my network because if I tether on my phone I'm able to connect to the server but I can't over my home connection. So it's definitely nothing on my computer. I tried rebooting the modem, turning off the firewall, double checking port forwarding (though that shouldn't be an issue for the client). I have no idea what it could be.

Thanks for your help!

I am no expert in these logs but i keep seeing "Outside Latency Window" over and over. Whats your Ping to the target PC (IP)?
UnparsedNetworkMessage.cpp:87: Invalid packet (type ServerToClientHeartbeat) received from 98.232.28.199:34197: heartbeat sequence number (73845) outside latency window [73244, 73844)

Yeah the connection times out but I think it's due to the connection being blocked somehow. It connects instantly to the server but it just can't seem to send anything except the initial connection notification notification. Ping is basically instant. ~4ms

Try killing your firewall/antivirus on your PC and putting your router in DMZ mode and try it.
