Can't Connect to MP Anymore?

[BeWaterMyFriend]

I just logged on and downloaded 1.11.. Went to Join a Multiplayer game, but the game doesn't go any further. The whole screen doesn't freeze but it doesn't proceed beyond the screen of me picking to join MP. I turned off the comp, tried again, failed again. I tried hosting a game and again I was unsuccessful. What's going on here? I never had issues like this before 1.11.

You are not alone. I was able to play multi-player two weeks ago, but canme back from vacation and could not connect when trying a multi-player game. The game however returned to the previous screen. Last night I connected enough to download the 1.11 patch. Now I still can't connect but the game hangs my whole computer. None of the guys I played with before can connect anymore either. Surely Iron Lore should be aware of this by now. Why is there only a mention of it in the forums and not on their support site?

I'd just like to add that I just tried it again later in the afternoon and I'm still unable to connect. I can't get passed the screen where you choose your character & choose to join MP/host/Single Player. SP does work but MP doesn't.

Also, my game is not pirated. MP worked fine before this morning, and I'm assuming it's because of patch 1.11.

Hi BeWaterMyFriend,

Are you still having these connection issues? What brand/model router are you using if any?

Thanks.

hI there, guys let us unite and make some SERIOUS noise here because I am so frustrated right now I just feel like murdering everyone I see, now that I've moved to a new place, with wireless connection I simply cannot proceed to MP anymore, I mean **** sometimes I crash at the loading server list page, and even when I host a game, people have problems coming in or get kicked out when they use a TP, since the problems began, I've stopped playing TQ for days...damn I didn't pay 50 bucks to squat at home and leave my DVD in the store room! And about the fact that I've moved to a new place, I cannot blame the connection for the problems because I seem to play DotA fine without any lag or anything, why is TQ giving me these Multiplayer issues? I used to have minor problems at my old place, but now it's to the extend that I cannot even play anymore! Please help!

Flying Fox,

Please post the following:

1. Brand/model of wireless card in you computer
2. Brand and model of your wireless router/hub
3. Any other network gear you might be using (switches, etc.)
4. Any firewall/security software/hardware you are using
5. Advertised speed of your broadband connection.

Also, probably most importantly, go here: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/. Test the speed of your connection and post those results.

Thanks.

Might as well give my infos too to help the debugging process...

*I have an Asus A8N-E mobo with the NForce4 Builtin gigabyte ethernet
*My router is an SMC Barricade SMCBR14VPN-CA
*I have a Motorola SB5100 surfboard cable modem
*No firewall, Windows firewall deactivated, Computer is in the DMZ of my router, port forwarding is set too (42800, 49152-49172, 49272-49292)
*Advertised speed is 10Mbit download, 900Kbit upload

Speed test results are 6573kbps download and 835kbps upload.

I had the usual "Lost connection to server" when I try to play via the internet setup so I use Hamachi to play with my friends. I had the problem if I hosted or joined a game, I could play for less than 2 minutes then connection lost.

Today I try it again to see the EXACT message I received and I played without problem without hamachi! The only thing that changed between then and now is I installed hamachi and I set messenger to "Busy"... Now the messenger thing isn't a fix, but hamachi is heavy on installing network drivers... maybe something in hamachi setup fixed the problem!

Here is a work around for you all if you are playing with friends. Download hamachi from www.hamachi.cc (Very secure, VPN for friends). Setup and join in hamachi. Now you are on a LAN so to speak. Now use the LAN option instead of the internet in Titan Quest when starting your game. MAKE SURE YOU ONLY HAVE ONE VPN GOING AT A TIME. TITAN QUEST GETS VERY CONFUSED WITH MULTIPLE VPNs. Voila, Multi-player Titan Quest. I realize you have to have friends to do this so some of you may have to leave your keyboards for a while to make some.
