PvP problem

[ikogazda]

Hello,

in Arena i can't start a game with invited person ( my friend )
We are from the same country. Is that somehow a problem in search parameters?
The game is attempting to start, and is failing

Even in Sparta, we press "quick match" at same time, the game will connect us, and later disconnect
Because it try to start the game in the same time on both PCs, we know that it try to connect or profiles, but unsuccesful.

The same is in 2v2. The numbers of connected players are the same on both PCs, and once it reach 4, it will disconnect on both
We are from the same country, but different cities.

Can you give me some help or hint

Otherwise, we can both play with other players, i believe there is not problem with connection

Have you guys both forwarded ports UDP1001-1005?

 

[FFNEZ]

using movistar or claro internet service?

To be honest, i have no idea what means movistar, claro service, UDP1001-1005 .....
I dont want to waste your time, but if there is short explanation what to adjust or check , please help.
I will of course google the meaning of those terms

OK, after google "AOE online port forward ", it is more clear what i need to do. Thanks

Movistar and Claro are internet service providers, and from what I can read about them, crappy by South American ISP standards lol

FFNEZ was probably assuming you'd already had your ports forwarded, and truth be told the South American players probably have among the worst connectivity thanks to their ISPs not having good packet protection in place, making games either much laggier than just the ping/delay due to distance, or preventing them starting completely

Just two more questions ?
Both players who wants to connect through Arena should have port forward, or one is enough >
And is port 1000 enough for forward , because in celeste launcher , in MP settings menu, there is manual option with only port 1000 written ?

Both players who wants to connect through Arena should have port forward

Yes, anyone attempting to play online (PvP or COOP) should

And is port 1000 enough for forward

Only for connecting to a handful of other players (probably ones closer to you geographically). Forwarding all of 1000 to 1005 is much better to do though.
