Can you try to login to https://t3aonline.ne...count/profiles/ and create a new profile there?

 

With that profile (as your nickname) try to login again.

[Lenwe137]

It doesn't work. Same error message as before.

I get an immediate disconnect from your side. Are you sure there is no antivir or another firewall blocking the connection?
I mean you can try to move the options.ini out of your directory or use an empty one and start trying to connect with that, if nothing else helps.

Hey I have followed all the instructions here:

 

https://forums.revor...rwarding-guide/

https://forums.revor...gin timed out

 

and my login is still timings out. If I have installed the launcher do I need to open it again. Is it not integrated into the game? I cannot however find the T3AOnline_Log.txt file. I am aware the admin says that is a result of incorrect installation but I have followed the instruction and videos multiple times. Any help is appreciated.

Hello, I need help, the installation was succesful but I keep getting the gamespy online menu, and it should be a Revora online menu isn't it? Anyone else having this problem? I hope you can help me.

[ICT]

For BFME2 it stays the old menu, just enter the t3a server account credentials.

[davestarky]

Ok thank you, I already played and it was good. I seem to have a problem though: My game says I've disconnected while in game even though I keep playin normally but when I'm in the lobby it kicks me out of the online interface.

[Silverbeard]

Is anyone else having issues in connecting to an online game after the new update to T3AOnline_2.1.3 despite following all the guides above?

 

I have read and tried all the fixes and work arounds I can find on the T3A website, but nothing is fixing the issue.  I keep getting the NAT Firewall message that has long been a bug bear with this game since it was first released.

 

Any help would be great!

how to play online with mobile internet? i checked my phone, firewall is off, yet in game says can't connect to players :( on my home internet it works fine

[ICT]

In the worst case you'll have to use a VPN. I'm not sure how the mobile internet works in your case. You should have a look at the cnc support subforums, https://forums.revor...online-support/, I'm sure there are a few cases of people with mobile internet.

Hi guys,

 

If you still have some issue with port forwarding, just try this tool: https://www.verigio....port-forwarder/

It works for us perfectly.   

Good luck and have fun on T3A!

Solving issue of port 16000 blocked even after portforward

 

So you have set up your Options.ini, you made the exceptions in the firewall and you've finally done the portforwarding people told you about... but you still can't connect to players, and the port tester fails to connect.

 

Finding the reason can be difficult, but a common problem that not many people know about is actually caused by your ISP (internet service provider). Most addresses you will find on the internet use the protocol IPv4, however this type of IP has been around for a long time and the addresses are running out. There is another protocol called IPv6, which will fix this issue, but it takes time to transition to this protocol with already established services. So in the meantime, a lot of ISPs have resorted into using something called Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation or CGNAT/CGN for short. This technology allows multiple users to share the same public IP-address, saving address-space.

 

A regular NAT takes a Private IP (the IP used on your home network to identify your computer, 192.168.1.25 for example), then converts it into a Public IP (the IP displayed on the internet, 85.132.133.196 for example). The difference between this and CGNAT is that multiple users behind a cgnat will share the same Public IP, but each user connected with this IP will be logged with a tag to identify where the traffic should be routed back to. Since this means you do not have your own unique IPv4 address but rather shares one with other people, it also means that you cannot control the ports for this IP and thus portforwarding is not possible. Your ISP is in control of the ports and if they do not have the specific port you need open, in this case 16000 udp, this is most likely what is causing the connection problems.  (note: this explanation is simplified)

 

So how do you know if you're behind CGNAT? First you can see if your public IP displayed on websites such as whatismyip.com is the same as the WAN IP listed in your router settings. If they are not the same, chances are you're behind cgnat. Some routers don't show WAN IP in the settings, sadly. But the best way to find out is to call your ISP and ask if you are behind a CGNAT or NAT444. If they say you are, tell them that you want it gone and you need a dedicated Public IP. Some ISPs will do this for free, others will charge you a small fee for it. Some even state on their website that they are using this technology so you can make sure beforehand that it's their doing.

Hello,

 

Battle for Middle Earth 2 - When I click  multiplayer ==> online in the main menu, the game freezes for about 5 minutes and then it takes me to the login page where it tells me "cannot connect to servers, please check internet connection" and then kicks me back to the main menu. Did I miss something when I installed everything? I signed up for an account, added the options file in Roaming, have tried to play under both 1.6 and 1.9, and am launching the game from the T3A launcher. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: I've added the following to the options.ini and still can't connect:

 

FirewallBehavior = 1
FirewallNeedToRefresh = FALSE
FirewallPortAllocationDelta = 0

 

I also deleted the GameSpy IP address line and bypassed Windows firewall.

Sounds like the installation of the launcher is corrupted or something. Try reinstall it and do so after making sure the game itself launches on the latest patches.
