Factorio Forums

To start off with, I have only recently purchased factorio and I haven't been able to join any multiplayer server since the very start, I know its on my end because if I cant join multiplayer it doesn't take a genius to figure out who it is. I have ported forward and let factorio through windows firewall and turned off my vpn and it still hasn't worked I've uninstalled and reinstalled along with verifying the game files . I have no clue what else I can do I've scoured through the forum and I cannot find a solution.

Yes those are my boys on the top right.

Post host and client log of a session with the issue, see 52433.
Can others connect when you host yourself?
Try connecting through steam invite.

Others players cannot connect with me when I host the server freezes and I have to reset the game or the player connecting has to stop trying to join.

The steam invite doesn't work either, it takes me to the same point I screenshotted in my first post, I can get to the password screen but no further.

Hello, is there an update on my issue?

What happens is, that once the server starts serving the map, all sent packets including heartbeat get lost for a duration of 27 seconds. I'd suspect a firewall issue and try swapping routers or check if the issue goes away when using a different internet connection.
