Connection Timed Out

XaviorBowie · #1 04-01-2009, 10:02 AM

I've set port forwarding for the game in my router etc... still getting connection timed out... no firewall blocking it... rebooted etc.. vista 32 bit

have you made sure your router is forwarding port 27272 as UDP not TCP?

Also could you attach a screen shot of the error you're getting?

yes I did double check that I had used a UDP port forwarding not a TCP....

I can do a screen shot, but it just throws up a box that says

Disconnected from Tutorial(Game)
"Connection to game Server Timed Out"

I also have to tab away from the game to get the error message to come up otherwise it just sits there not moving

hehe.... did a little testing... tried to run a bug report and it locked up the game(nvm, closed console and it let me submit) vOv... when I try to "pull up" (which ever direction that is, raising the nose of the plane) is when it server times out... argh... nope did it this time when I went to dive... ah holy crap.... ah ha... it does it when I touch a second key regardless of direction etc....

Looks to me like this is related to hyper-threading. Please try the following and let me know if it helps:

1) Start Altitude
2) Before logging in to Altitude, press (CTRL + ALT + DEL) to open the task manager
3) Click on the "Processes" tab, right click altitude.exe, left click on Set Affinity, uncheck CPU 1 box and then click OK

Well...
tried turning off sounds, lowering resolution settings etc... still failed...
uninstalled, reboot, reinstall... worked for about 3/4 of the tutorial... failed again
triple checked port forwarding commands, disabled firewalls, etc... still failed...
drivers for network adapter card, frimware/drivers for modems... failed again...
sent bug report... argh...

any further ideas would be worth trying?
