Chronic1980 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Alrighty, I've got a question. I'm trying to get an internet game going with one of my friends. He connects to the internet through a modem, but I share my connection with four other people, so I connect though a router. Reading through some of the pages that seems to be the reason why the unable to connect to server error message keeps popping up. The router in my apartment is a Zyxel Prestige 2602R-61, and as far as I can see, there is no port-forwarding guide for that model. We both paid good money for this game, mainly because of playing it online, so has anyone got any ideas for a solution? This is so shoddy... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalv Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hello, I'm new to fm online gamming but veteran in CM/FM series. I'm back on crack in virtual football with your wonderful new release, FM 2007. I want to ask some questions about online play in FM 2007. I'm trying to bring a server up to play with a couple of friends (about 10 or 15). I have tested an online game with a friend to see if it works. The games works fine for me (512kb) but my friend (1mb) gets delays in game menus. I'm asking if this kind of delays the 'connectors' could get worse if other 10 users join the server to play (because it the delays are the same it's pretty much okay). I have also checked the traffic with NetLimiter2 and the game seems to use a maximum of 10 or 20 kb/s. So it doesnt seem to use all the bandwitch available. I'm not an expert either but maybe the game only uses some preset percent form the total bandwitch. Can I do anything to change that or maybe I'm wrong about that. Both computers met more than the recommended requirements. Also I've heard about that Hamachi program. Does this Hamachi improves the online play or it is the same net speed as connecting trough game via direct ip? /thanks and excuses for my English Operating system - Windows XP Service packs installed SP2 net connection 512 kb (which means 64kb/s if I'm right) router involved - i'm not sure I know what that is exactly anti virus software - ZoneAlarm Firewall software - ZoneAlarm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalv Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 well I have found something that could be useful in "A Scottish Clan"'s site in the rules ection. I hope they don't get upset I copy them. -Before joining the network could you please untick move for TV matches. -Game preferences, to keep the game moving as fast as possible the following setting must be unticked on all pc's, Show Player Pictures, Show Badges / Logos, Show Background Pictures, Show Unique ID's, the sound option is optional. -don't connect to host without asking, this can crash the game. credit goes to 'The Scottish Clan' And maybe we can come up with some more feedback to improve our online performance.

Guest Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'm a very experienced online FM player with no problems ever before - until now. Basically, a friend and I have tried to start a new game with FM2007 doing exactly as before but he can't connect to my PC despite using the correct IP address and following exactly the same procedure as with previous versions. So we are stumped. All the usuals have been done, Firewalls etc. The only thing I can put it down to is that Port Forward don't have FM2007 listed meaning that it may be different ports (currently 10093 to 10094). Anybody got any ideas? If these are the ports and we are following all the rules, what the hell can it be? Sensible answers from experienced players only please, this one has got us totally baffled.

Guest Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 This is really frustrating both my friend and I bought the game mainly for the online and we can't play it. When he hosts it says unable to connect and when I host and he joins it does the same. This happened with Fm06 as well and we never managed to play that online. I'm just wandering why Sigames have slacked so much on the online mode to the extent that people have to do certain things to their firewall etc. to make it work, you don't see many other online games that require you to change so many settings and mess with your router/ have the "right" router. The fact that there are so many people on here with problems empahsises your lack of effort put into the online mode. I'm currently at university so I'm connected into a socket in my wall therefore do not have a router however I think my ISP is Damvo or something similar to that. I dont have a firewall and Norton is turned on always. I don't see why the fact that I'm on the University internet should be the reason why it doesnt work as it didnt even work when I was at home and had my own router. It would be nice if you could help me out seeing as I have paid money for your game sigames. thanks I'm extremily dissapointed tha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
