My post was a question asking for the official list, because I noticed it keeps using more and more ports. As you found, after the update it uses an additional range of ports. For me, where my previous highest port was 40115, now I had to include every xxx15 port up to 41915, so:

• UDP 41215, 41315, 41415, etc all the way up to 41915

My guess is that they intend to use the entire range 37000:42000 - only a mere 5 THOUSAND ports, nothing to worry about, right?

Game design like this is lazy, and nobody seems to care. There's no reason a program needs to have access to unknown and unspecified ports like this. If they want 60 ports, why not just have us open 41000:41060? Nope, like Epic Games, they prefer to force people with strict (secure) firewalls to chase down ports over and over and create vulnerabilities that any savvy script kiddie can take advantage of.

At any rate, I hope my trials and crashing mid-game discovery helps you some, Colin.
