SOLVED: multiplayer doesn't start / port fwd? → FIX: open UDP 4379 and 4380 outgoing

[misty oracle]

Steam version 2.1.0 (latest I believe)
Windows 11 23H2 up to date + dedicated AMD graphics

I can host and join tables, but when table is full the match will not start.

Are there specific ports that must be open in the firewall? Is the game server full?

stuck here

Hi! Hmm, let's try some trouble shooting.

Are you the host? Try resetting your wifi router

[misty oracle]

I was the host a few times. I've reset the router.

I can also confirm this bug exists. I can't host because there's no players in my region, so no real info to provide there but not a single lobby I have joined has ever started.

[misty oracle]

I've checked firewall settings in Windows11 and BR is not blocked

[long pebble]

@misty oracle @tiny flame could we try starting a game together? ill give you the lobby ID

in the meantime, could you please share the following?

1. Do you use ethernet or wifi?
2. Which country are you playing from?
3. Whats your graphics card?
4. Could you please share your player log?

Player logs are stored here:

C:\Users/yourname/AppData/Roaming/Godot/app_userdata/Buckshot Roulette/logs

[misty oracle]

here goes:

1. WiFi
2. DE
3. AMD 780M
4. yes (attached)

I need to send again, because for some reason this log is from a new single player mode I just started.

again

seriously, it would help if we knew which ports need be forwarded on the router's firewall. I'm guessing 4379 and 4380, both UDP, but I'm not sure, can the developer confirm?

[long pebble]

Thank you! DE as in denmark?

[misty oracle]

no Germany

[tiny flame]

agh im sorry i completely missed this. i can do this now if you still need me to

1. Wi-Fi, specifically from my phone.
2. Australia
3. RTX 3050Ti
4. Posting soon, forgot about the slowmode. (can that be lowered or removed please? it just makes communication annoying.)

[misty oracle]

I'm OK for a game together with @long pebble and @tiny flame

[long pebble]

one moment!

@misty oracle @tiny flame 109775242596760157

@misty oracle we r waiting for u king

[tiny flame]

so looks like that worked

was the lobby set to friends only or public? or is friends only actually friends only and not just "you need a code"

(also please can slowmode be lowered or disabled?)

[long pebble]

yup

[austere dagger]

✅ #1315766049140117545 is no longer slowmoded.

[long pebble]

done!

[long pebble]

mine was set to friends only, so i dont think that affected it

[sharp escarp]

@long pebble theres another bug report i made

https://discord.com/channels/1158444754325999747/1316081517222695054

[misty oracle]

OK, fixed it -- my recommendation is, add an entry in FAQ to inform:

The following UDP ports must be OPEN to ACCEPT traffic OUTGOING:

• 4379
• 4380

[warped bloom]

Its an bug, fix it by disband the lobby and redo it

[tiny flame]

maybe something changes when a lobby is public vs friends only, and whatever changes when its public is bugged in some way\

[long pebble]

ill be on it in a sec

[long pebble]

works now?

[misty oracle]

read my previous message, I hope it helps other users

[long pebble]

ohh, thank you

[tiny flame]

i assume this fix only applies if you are host and/or everyone in a lobby does this fix?

if so i hope this gets patched on a game level soon

[misty oracle]

everyone must have this

BTW, those are the standard Steam P2P, Voice, etc. ports.
