Failed to Join Game

Post by winterslegend »

Hello,

I recently moved to a new place and now my internet is not allowing me to get into a lobby (I did change internet providers). I continuously get the error "Failed to Join Game" when I try to enter into a lobby. My Brother and I got on to check what it looked like from his end and it doesn't even show that I'm connecting to the lobby. I have been able to access the game from other internet connections and on multiple devices. Though it is strange because I can connect to other multiplayer games on my home network, just not AOE3.

Things that I have tried:
1. Port Forwarding (I got the ports from another thread in here and triple checked them)
2. Static IP
3. DMZ
4. Checked Firewall
5. Got internet checked and fixed
6. Tried hardwired instead of wireless (No change)

If you have any ideas or solutions that would be greatly appreciated.

Some routers just seem to struggle with aoe3 (it's an old game after all). I had to replace mine quite recently. Even though the port checker from portforward.com told me my ports were forwarded correctly, I would still get FTJ. Changing router and port forwarding the new one solved the issue, so if you have an extra router or can borrow one it's worth a try

I deleted a couple of posts in here. As @musketeer925 said, please keep drama out of tech support threads. Thanks for your cooperation. As always, feel free to start a thread in SCC if you disagree with the decision.

I second what Tabben said. I was struggling with FTJ for a good couple of years; had tried everything. What eventually did it for me was swapping from the thompson router i got from my internet provider to a netgear one. Has been working like a charm ever since :)
