[0.14.19] MP: Couldn't Establish Network Comm. W/ Server

Post by RabidKitten »

Hello. Me and a friend of mine have had a problem with multiplayer in version .14. Whenever I try to join his server it gives me a error message saying: Couldn't establish network communication with server. The same happens when he tries to join my server. We were both able to join someone else's public server at the same time. We have not been able to test if someone else can join either of our servers. We have tried joining directly with our IP addresses and we have tried joining through the public browser with the same result. In the public browser our ping is displayed as: can't reach. Problem was first encountered 0.14.03 but problem persists in 0.14.19. Problem is encountered, without fail, every time we attempt to connect.

Log file for me connecting to friend:

Friend joining me:

I hope that this information is helpful. If any further information is needed then please reply and I will provide that information at the earliest possible convenience.

Edited to include log files from both parties

I'm having the same issue when hosting a game. My friend gets a couldn't establish network communication with server, and when he finally loads, his screen is black and can't really do anything but move around. This issue is resolved if I don't pause the game while he is connecting.

@OP
The logs of both, the peer and the host of the same connection attempt would be useful.

This does not sound like the issue discussed here, as you actually can connect. Make a dedicated report if you can provide additional information like logs, specs and type of connection...

I will do my best to get my friends log files but I will not be able to get them until this weekend at the earliest.

I can confirm this bug is still extremely relevant for 14.20.
Server and client are running 14.20.
I do face the same problem with and without mods.

Without a server password the situation looks like this:
Serverlog from my dedicated server
My Clientlog

Thanks for the report,

This seems more like a local network configuration issue than something wrong with factorio,
Since you can both connect fine to other servers, and that other people can connect to each of you

I would like to clarify that we have not been able to test if anyone else can join our servers since neither of us knows anyone else who owns Factorio.

If it is a problem on our network's end then could I get some suggestions as to how to fix it. I have tried disabling the firewalls on both computers. I have also set up port forwarding for the 34197 port. I understand if this is not the place for asking network advice but if someone could point me in the right direction i would be very grateful.
