Multiplayer Suddenly Not Working

devinedragon92 · Post by **devinedragon92** » Thu Nov 22, 2018 10:22 pm

Me and a Friend were playing multiplayer, him hosting, we had been playing for a solid 10 hours straight. Until I suddenly disconnected and now neither of us is able to download the map. It has an estimated download time of 3 hours but in about a minute I loose connection to the server anyway. (any server, including random public ones). Also its download speed is minuscule

Initially he was hosting from his computer and I connected through steam.
We are both running windows 10, and Factorio version 0.16.51
His Net Speed is: 60 Download and 20 Upload with a ping of 37 (Based on speedtest.net results)
My Net Speed is: 100 Download and 10 Upload with a ping of 15 (Based on speedtest.net results)

Things we have tried

Me hosting

Both of us hosting a new map (thinking our current map might be corrupt)

Both of us Forwarding the necessary ports and connecting to each others direct IP addresses

Connecting with a VPN (Hamatchi)

Verifying the integrity of the game cache

Completely Uninstalling the Game

Deleting all the game files (including the "Factorio" file in %appdata%)

Completely Reinstalling the Game

Both of us have made our IPs static

We tried resetting winsock in cmd (Didn't seem to do anything)

Tried to connect with our firewalls completely disabled

Something Somewhere seems to be Jamming, blocking or bottle-necking our connection somehow.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you.
