You have to use your server account to login (that's the one you create when registering/logging in via t3aonline.net)

I will check on the gamespyip address line issue when I get home from work and update this post, not sure if I've edited that at all but I do remember adding the other four lines posted the options.ini document.

 

I was actually logging in with my server account login, I just called it the wrong thing in my first post haha my bad.

 

What are/how do I check for Hamachi Virtual Devices or other similar things that may be preventing me from playing? Sorry for a dumb question if this is a very simple fix.

[Desarus]

The gamespyip address line was removed when I checked my options.ini file.

Can you post the launcher logfile? It's in your %TEMP% directory. 

 

If you have any virtual network adapters or VPN software make sure to disable those.

Ok so I actually just found a new issue I think which is probably my main issue. I just went to check my Port Forwarding to make sure I had done that all correctly and when I went into it, what I had created last night was no longer showing. It looked as if I had never created a Port Forward. Now when I went to put it in again it tells me "Failure! Please check your inputs." Everything should be correct so I'm unsure why I'm getting the failure message. My info looks like this:

Common Service: Other

Service Name: BFME1

Service Type: UDP

Server IP Address: 10.0.0.66

Server IPv6 Address: lots of numbers and letters

Start Port: 16000

End Port: 16000

How do I post the launcher logfile? When I go to my %TEMP% directory I didn't see what you were looking for. I'm sure its there, I'm just not sure of the file/folder name I should be looking for.

i cant join games because it says the game is in a different version but i have the newest update of the mod in my game

[goksukarax22]

guys i  cannot login. "login time out" any one help ?

[ICT]

Did you follow all the steps in http://t3aonline.net/setup? Did you allow the game in your firewall? Did you follow STEP2 in the first post of this topic?

[Poulet]

So when i create a match and a friend joins it says that it is trying to connect or bad connection, i set it to false and my friend to and it automatically goes to true again, how do i fix this?

i play on win10 any info u more need just say :-)

[ICT]

You need to allow the game to connect through every firewall you night have installed. Add the game to the firewalls exception list.

On top of that you might have to configure port forwarding. There are many topics about it here, just read through them. Like the one you have posted in.

Hi,

 

I'm using the Battle for Middle Earth + Patch 1.06 T3A from your webpage.

When I install it on Windows 7 it works perfectly, and I can enter your servers. Life is that I must use Linux (Ubuntu 14.04).

 

I tried wine on it, and it installed and worked fine - I can play Skirmish as if I was on windows.

However, when I try to enter the servers, it says "Login timed out". This does not happen on Windows 7.

 

I ran "sudo ufw disable", and added in the "/etc/hosts" file the line "192...(IP) myhostname", where "myhostname" is my hostname.

But it did not solve the issue, the message "Login timed out" still pops up.

The ports are forwarded on the router.

 

Any idea on how to proceed/what to check?

Thank you very much!

Maybe I got the source of the problem:

 

So far I've run "wine lotrbfme_.exe", skipping the T3A launcher, and the game runs well (except from the connection to the server, "login timed out").

If I run "wine lotrbfme.exe", the T3A launcher opens, and when opening the game from it, the game crashes at the splashimage, if that's the name (the first image that appears, with The Lord Of The Rings on it).

 

Is it compulsory to open the game from the T3A launcher in order to access the servers? Do you know any idea on how to fix this? :'( I'm not a programmer/pro informatician, I have little idea. I'm just a highly motivated regular user.

Unfortunately the launcher is required to redirect the games connection to our server. You can't get it to work with wine. We're working on a new launcher though, which might allow playing under wine in the future.

[The_TITAN]

ok now even im having some problems

with pfportchecker

it does not verify my router

[Lordsodor]

So I just Installed the game (Battle for Middle Earth 2), patched it, installed the T3A Launcher and got to connect to the server, thing is when I make a game and a friend of mine joins or not I get a red dot which the game says it's a "Bad Connection" and we can't start the game, I don't have a bad connection and this is kinda weird, already did the ini stuff, haven't done the portforwarding cause I'm afraid I might fuck something up and mess my router or something, but yeah that's the problem ¿can someone give me a hand or a hint?

[Brabox]

Hi guys, this is a question regarding the RotWK beta of T3A online.

 

Setting up the connections with 6 players or more takes a long time. Sometimes, it doesn't work at all. Also, the game seems to freeze a bit when connections are setting up.

 

I've opened UDP port 16000 (in fact, I'm forwarding all UDP ports above 8080 to my PC). I've verified I can set up connections using netcat.

 

Should everyone do this? What are the exact effects of doing or not doing it?

 

Also when I set the port to 16000 via the in-game options screen, that only seems to make things worse.

 

 

I guess what I want to ask concretely is:

how are the connections set up between players and how does port forwarding affect it? I'm pretty sure most players didn't open their port, but can still connect to each other apparently. That seems very odd to me. You didn't somehow implement uPnP right?

[ICT]

No, UPNP has not been implemented and it is not guaranteed to work either. It might help in some cases though. The clients communicate between themselves and do not handle game connections via the server - that's why people need to be able to connect to each other directly. For that the some kind of NAT is needed (the game does not have any bypassing procedures implemented as far as I know). Usually it requires people to forward an UDP port from their router to their game client. If at least one player is unable to connect to all others the game won't start.

 

Some routers might use other techniques and do not require manual configuration, others can be set to DMZ temporarily to run checks.
