Correct ports to forward

ithecho84 · 10-26-2009, 10:23 PM

There has been a list of ports going around that was stated should be forwarded in order to host the game. The comprehensive list is:
3783 (Voice Chat Port)
27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat)
28900 (Master Server List Request)
29900 (GP Connection Manager)
29901 (GP Search Manager)
13139 (Custom UDP Pings)
6515 (Dplay UDP)
6500 (Query Port)
7777 (TCP/UDP)

Thanks to MrSamurai for the tip

thanks for the info ithecho, while i don't have the game yet (waiting for europe release) i'm paying attention to this forum for tips on how to make friday's planned gaming as smooth as possible

Opened all the ports and the online still lags like crazy so I cant even tell if it works or not

Hopefully it'll help someone though

Played for about 8 hours tonight on my host with absolutely no issues. Forwarded the correct ports, and off we went.

Could not host or join my friend's game when I started. I then forwarded all those ports and was able to host with no problems.

Bump, forward these 5 ports and people should be set.

ok, I'm a noob for these things (really, it's nearly amazing)

I have Vista, so i tried to go in my internet options (not in browser). I arrived to a page with a lot of ports (or numbers

), and then I decided to "Create" the required ports.

....will it blend?

It's how Unreal Engine 3 rolls. It's always had bad netcode, but it's the price you pay for the nice graphics.

some games you have to open a lot more then 5.

@OP, thanks for posting the ports last night i had to put my router in the DMZ and i hate doing that.

This would be a lot less painful if the programmers decided to use upnp to open the ports instead of letting users do it manually.

if you're having issues hosting servers, this thread has a good solution:

1) Create private game
2) Invite friend, let him time out completely
3) Exit private lobby, remake, invite, play!

Do you forward both TCP and UDP?
