I haven't played this game in years. My partner and I are trying to play together. 

 

Whenever we start a custom match, it starts connecting, says the other person's name and "checking probe" and then disconnects us and says:

"Battle for Middle-earth is unable to connect to other player(s). If the problem persists, and you have a NAT or Firewall device or software: Click on Refresh NAT button in the options menu. If you have a DLink device, click the Send Delay button in the options menu. If you are still unable to connect, consider opening a port in your firewall. Consult the manual and readme for details"

 

What we've tried to try and fix it:

-Checked our firewalls, which provide outgoing and ingoing exceptions for BMFE for both of us

-Edited our Options.ini file to add the following four lines:

FirewallBehavior = 1
FirewallNeedToRefresh = FALSE
FirewallPortAllocationDelta = 0
FirewallPortOverride = 16000

-Set the options file to read only

-Made sure there is no line reading "GameSpyIPAddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

 

I'm not the most tech savy or understanding of computer terminology, so keep that in mind if you reply.

 

We are stumped and frustrated and demotivated. PLEASE HELP!

Strange servers are down? Try GameRanger it could help you, but it was better with t3aOnline...
