Failed to join game

Post by MountEverfresh »

I think many of you know about the failed to join game bug, and I've been experiencing it firsthand. Whenever I try to join a game it tries to connect and then doesn't and says failed to join game. I've been trying to fix this for weeks and nothing has helped. I think I've tried everything but the end result is the same. I've redone my firewall exemptions, disabled my firewall, redone my ports several times, put my router in DMZ mode, I've forced an override address, reinstalled the game, and probably a few other things that I can't recall. Oddly enough I can occasionally connect to a game (maybe 1 out of every 70), and gameranger works perfectly. I just want to be able to use my ESO account because my home city is a much higher level and I don't want to grind my LAN one up. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I play DOTA 2 frequently with minimal problems, connection probably isn't the problem

You can always edit your HC files to max level for playing on LAN.

Unfortunately, I've heard that sometimes it just doesn't work for whatever reason and you keep getting FTJ. Apparently getting a new router can help if you're particularly invested in it. The community on ESO is alot better than gameranger so it might be worth it to you.

Well Eso gives more random FTJ shits in general. Anyways, I guess you already have your UDP port 16000 forward as you don't have any problem in Gameranger. If not, you should forward them as both public and private ports.
If its your own router you can do it in router config settings manually, but if you'r using any university router/or public one, you'll have to ask the admin to do so.
Disabling firewall doesn't help.
I had the same ftj issue almost 99% of times when I was in college and the only thing that could resolve it was using VPN. But it would affect your net speed.

I don't know about you but me and mitoe have the same issue when we are afk for 60 seconds we get FTJ and have to RE game, if your getting FTJ probably just restart your game, or tell the person whos hosting the game to restart, i dont know if you can fix this problem tho, and port forwarding doesnt help from what I've heard.

@Octanium didn't work. It says api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing. I already tried to install Visual c++ 2013 and nothing happened

i will try it, i'm not a pro on PC stuff, i downloaded safervpn but it seems not to work, it doesn't matter the country server i pick (i tried american, france and australia) and still got the same issue FTJ. There are 5 protocols to choose and maybe it matter (Auto, Ikev2, L2TP, OpenVPN and PPTP). If anyone knows about PC stuff, i would like him to help me :)
