Can't join any multiplayer game

Post by Lord_Farquaad »

Whenever I try and join a public game, the message ''couldn't establish network communication with server'' comes up after about a second of the 'connecting' bar. This happens with any public game. It also says ''Can't reach'' next to the ping
I have added factorio to the firewall options and allowed incoming connections, and the problem is still there. I have even tried turning off the firewall completely, and it doesn't work. factorio and steam are both up to date. This problem didn't happen last time i played the game about a month ago

Should be OK now, can you restart the server, and tell us if the issue persists ?

I'm still having this issue with hosting my own game, despite restarting my computer and router, as well as changing my DMZ settings. I can't connect to my friend's multiplayer game, and they can't connect to mine, but we can both get into several public games.
