RickySpanish Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hi I’ve had a lot of issues trying to join MP servers. Basically I would get stuck at the Please Wait screen and either I would Ctrl Alt Del out or it would time out after ten minutes. After a lot of troubleshooting I’ve found the issue to be network related. I am currently on Fixed Wireless NBN (Australia) and my PC is hardwired to the router. When I try and join any MP servers I have about a 10% success rate. However if I hotspot my phone and connect through that I can get into servers 100% of the time. I am just wondering whether there are any known router issues or fixes. Do I need to set up port forwarding even if I’m not hosting? I get similar Download/Upload speeds for the fixed wireless and phone hotspot. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVgamer72 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Do you have admin rights on the router? It could be a firewall rule or DNS settings on the router causing the issue, but you would need to login and poke around in the Router settings to know for sure. Ty manually entering a DNS setting for the Adapter/NIC in your PC. For instance put in Google (8.8.8.8) for the first DNS entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer_QLD Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Who is your provider? Two of our team had issues with Aussi-Broadband because of some ip4 scheme they are running to deal with a shortage of ip4 addresses.. It was quickly solved with a phone call to tech support to take them off that scheme. I would call and see if that’s your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tippis Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Not exactly that, no, but yes there are indeed possible router issues out there… On a hunch, though, do you know if your router has any NAT loopback going on? That's the best lead I have on the issue I was seeing and it would be interesting to see if it also appeared in relation to what you're seeing. ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.

rwbishUP Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 same issue, isp issued me new gateway/modem, destroyed my ping, the default gateway ip address is giving a ping of over 150ms, it's just the second hop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperhill Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hello, since the new version 5.5.6 our server is simply invisible in the selection of servers in the game. if we try to connect directly with the ip address locally we have a server offlines message. everything worked fine on the old version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickySpanish Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Solved! Yes I am with Aussie Broadband. Turns out they have CGNAT for all new connections and once I called up and had it removed I’m no longer having issues. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
