Hello all,

I may not exactly be new, but I have run across an issue when it comes to getting everyone to properly connect to a multiplayer server. For some basic information, we all run 4.12.2 with BAT 3.5, we use Hamachi due to some issues with Hyperlobby, and we've made certain that most everything matches up. Three out of four of the others can easily connect to and play on the server, but, no matter what we do, the fourth person continuously gets the Connection to Remote Host Failed: Timed Out message.

Once again, we've checked:
-IP Address
-Port/Port Forwarding
-Game Version
-Module Selected
-Firewalls
And all to no avail.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated,
DimAurora

Come join us on the FAC.  We have TeamSpeak too.  Try it.  See if it works for you...then publish your times and negotiate with an admin...who will, I'm quite sure, offer you space.  It's on you.  Cheers and prost.

Gotta have UP3RC4, or it ain't gonna happen.  Too bad.  Just the way it is.

See if all your players can join the server with the STOCK game.
Just a idea to see where the problem really is.

[DimAurora]

Stock failed as well, so it isn't directly the fault of BAT. Really at a loss here.

I have seen this before but for the life of me I can't recall what we did..
Have your friend check the in game  " SET-UP "

Make sure the port setting is like this picture... Guessing now ...



What message is he getting? 
A Time out ?
Has he been able to join in the past?
He may have a high ping. This will stop you from joining a game.

How many players are alowed to join the host ?

[DimAurora]

Gunny, I've seen and dealt with this before as well, but I suppose memory is fleeting. Connection is as shown.

Otsu, There are 8 slots on the server and only 5 of us, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Simple answer: You've hit the Hamachi connection limit.
Upgrade your Hamachi account to a paid subscription or get rid of it and use direct IP connections.

Direct ip is easy and effective.

Did you try having a player host?
Our group flies Bat 3.5 every week with from 5 to 7 player no problem. We have 3 member that volunteer to host our weekly games and we use Ventrilo for our comms.  We used to use Hyperlobby as our server  but  we found no advantage of using a server so decided to go with player hosting only instead. When we first switched over to  BAT we ran into  problems  starting the game. This turned out only to happen if someone had started their game straight from the selector, we fly the different eras in a weekly rotation and need to switch to the correct game era first with the selector. When we all started from the games desktop short cut the problem disappeared.
If you are in an area compatible with the North American time zone and would like to join us just send me a message or if you have any questions just message me. We did have another 6 or so international members but found  time zone differences were to difficult to over come.

Storebror and Fresco,
I'm sorry to sound like a complete halfwit, but how would I go about setting up a direct IP connection? Are there any third party programs needed?

Koi,
Hearing that someone else had problems like that and discovering that the one with issues did use the selector to launch certainly caused a lot of excitement, but it sadly didn't work.
