Very Strange Hosting Problem

Ruin · Post by **Ruin** » March 10th, 2007, 10:07 pm

Ok, sometimes when I host it people can join, I start the game and it shows everyone loaded, but then it just says Waiting for other or w/e it normally says. The game never starts when this happens no matter how long I wait for it. Then the other times the game loads fine and everyone is happy.

Does anyone have any kind of solution for this? or has anyone ever had this happen to them and how did they fix it?

BTW my ports have been forwarded just like in the tutorial on prtforward

Eh..? That's never been a problem to anyone else... I've never heard of it so I can't help you =|

Either someone loads ultra slow.... or

someone disconnected themself from you thus the game will never start, its rare to happen, I don't know a way to fix it, but if you use custom kick and scan, the person with the question mark next to them is the one who ruined your game.

I've only seen this once or twice in my hosting experiences.

Maybe you're getting disconnected while loading your game... I've had friends do this... Mah friend, Nightshayde, was joining mah game, and we started, when everyone was done loading, he told me through XFire he was still loading. It would happen to him every time I hosted, and yet, everyone else could come through mah games and actually play them. Quite interesting.

I dont think so, I used to be able to host fine whenever I wanted...until...the accident. It was a long, boring day and I was hosting a game of Dark Lineage and then dun dun dun... it happened, and it hasnt gone away -.-. Ill try complaining to my internet provider tomorrow

xantan told me my page would sometimes not load flawless

we've checked some things and it was/is his connection/provider problem -.-

I got a problem like that. Sometimes it would let me host and others of course not. I found out when i would restart bnet (go to the main screen of wc3 and then log back into bnet.) it would work. So you might want to try that. Also... I know its my internet provider it also messes up steam and other things :\ stupid bellsouth.
