Hey there, 

where is your game from? 

things you can try 

deactivating your firewall 

another thing you can try is using a ipv4 supporting vpn like windscrice free vpn https://windscribe.c...n/?auth_required you can create an account and download it there make sure that you have activated your windscribe account. if you have the programm installed you should have a little windscribe window on your desktop, in the upper left corner you should see 3 stripes click that and navigate through there until you find a switch labeled Ipv6 on default its turned on but we want to turn it off (your pc will have to restart after that) after your pc restarts the windscribe program should autostart (you can just minimize or close it if you dont want to play) but if you want to play you will do following: 1. make sure that NOTHING is draining data in the background (you will get 10gb of data for free every month that should be more than enough even if you play active) 2. activate windscribe and wait until its connected as soon as its connected you can check again if anything is draining data 3. launch the game 4. in the game main menu you go to options 5. change your online and lan ip to the second available option (or the one that does not match any of your ips you might have been using with hamachi or something) 6. connect to genreals online (note it can take a few trys until the game will let you connect) 7. start a match with your mate and see if its works 8. if not try to change host and change who is using windscribe ( for example you use windscribe and he dont but it wont load so he uses windscribe and you dont) 9. in some cases it can change who needs to use it over time sometmes even both players needs it while ( me and the boys always need to circle the windscrib using one if we play but only if we are more than 2 people so connections can be weird sometimes)
