Zipet 11 Posted March 22, 2014 Hey Me and a friend are trying to play some Arma 3 together via the internet not on lan. anyway The issue is both of us have ping from 28 to 2500 and we always get the same msg when we try to join eachother "Connection Failed" its the very same when trying to connect on any server we find even with and without mods same issue. things we have tryid. Port forwarding 2302 (Arma3 Game port) 2303 (Server reporting) 2305 (Von) 8766 (Steam port) 27016 (Steam query port) and disabled firewall running steam and Arma 3 as admin all of this have no changes to our issue and i tryid to call my net provider and they couldnt do anything as it should run fine as it did 2 months agow where i had no problems with arma3 what so ever. we started to get this issie now after some update of somesort we have not changed anything before we started all this and we couldnt join eachother or any server. Do any of you know some fix to this? posting my spec dunno if it has anything to do with it amd-8350 gtx 780ti asrock 970 extreme 4 1833 G-skill 8gb ram 2tb harddrive 120gb ssf where windows and arma 3 is installed D-link routher (atm its disabled for testing to get arma3 to work to eleminate router issue) connection speed 60/60 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enifleR 10 Posted March 22, 2014 Might also notify that we have tried both the Dev build and normal build. No luck. We are using the exact same mods, we have tried without any of them enabled. Ports forwarded correctly. Firewall disabled. Steam and Arma 3 running in both Admin and Windows 7 Compatibility. He stated his gear above, mine is: i5 2500k - 4.5ghz 6gb ddr3 gtx670 chill 1000watt Unfortunately Im sitting behind a Thomson TG789vn - Which I have heard should/could cause some troubles. I have disabled uPnP and forwarded the ports manually. No luck at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipet 11 Posted March 24, 2014 any dev or something that can give a hint on whats going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eviljoven 11 Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) This may have to do with how Arma3 has implemented Steamworks. Depending on the method, two people may not be able play on the same server from behind a NAT, without tweaking. On Source based games this means either adding the command "+clientport 270##" (each person must change the ## to a unique number) to either the game launch options or in a userconfig.cfg file. The Arma3 devs are going to have to give us a place to set this ourselves or nobody will ever be able to play on the same server if they are behind a NAT.

TheBigOne_014 16 Posted April 3, 2014 Are you guys using Cable or WiFi to connect to the router!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Th4d 10 Posted April 3, 2014 Might be something different but a friend of mine was having this problem because he was using Avira free anti virus. Try running steam with admin compatibility and if you are running the server change the value of steamappid.txt to 233780. also check if both of you are running the same mods or none, and if the server is compatible with them.
