Need Help, Cannot Join any Games, can only Host

Post by Abd_Al_Abd »

Hi, I keep having the infamous "Failed To Join Game" Error. I can host games that other people can connect to, But I am unable to join any games that other people host. I have read through numerous threads regarding this issue - nothing seems to work. I have both my Firewall on my Machine and my Router in DMZ, and I have set the User.cfg file override address to my external IP address. I don't know what else to try - any help would be appreciated.

My router is in DMZ though, which should mean that it will pass all, including those ports

Do you have a static IP? I have to pay a extra 10$ a month for it to play most online games. I called my ISP to get that set up.

I set my IP address to a static IP on my adapter - does that count?

Try restarting ESO (I have such a problem at home and it helps), if it doesn't help: port-forwarding, if it doesn't help: VPN (I have such a problem at a dormitory and it helps).
