Re: Dead Space 3 coop problem-Failed to join game

At first, download and install the latest version of Origin at www.origin.com/download (and make sure you have your Origin account ready as well)
Close the origin client and go directly to you origin folder  C:\Program Files\Origin Games. Run the origin.exe in this folder with a rightclick -> run as administrator. 

Try to deactivate your firewall/antivirus software, get sure that Origin.exe and DS3.exe is added to the whitelist of your protection software. Some firewalls are able to block applications even while disabled.

Check the online ports of your connection:
TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 20000-20100, 22990, 17502, 42127
UDP
: 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300
For specific instructions on how to open your ports, please visit http://www.portforward.com/ or contact your router manufacturer.

Please let us now, if this problem after this workaround still exist.

Cheers

  • I got the same Problem, my friend got the same router like me (vodafone easybox 803), and we turned on the DMZ mode, its like we opened all ports.

    If i do turn the game into public, strangers can join our games, but not my friend to me.

    We turned all off, for example the firewall and the virenscan.

    We got both the Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Essentials, my friend win 8 64 BIt, me Vista 64 Bit.

    I think, its a bug with ur software and the vodafone router -.-

    Can u fix this problem plz, all of my games are working, i can host everywhere with the activ DMZ modus.

    Some water:
    Look for a solution for over 7 hours, I finally found it, and it was all on the surface of the guys. Almost the entire internet says that there is no solution, or require dedicated IP, but it is not so!

    Support EA says you need to open the ports on which it does not approve. Here we must drop deeper if you are happy because the owner of the modem and ADSL dynamic IP, that's my decision.

    D-link 2500u had to upgrade the firmware to 1,0,50

    then went to the modem address is 192,168,1,1 and found all you need to open a port, namely the virtual server

    naturally set up your firewall to cover those ports, and tested. It works thanks ZUMITSU (helping with tests for 7:00)

    If anyone has any problems please contact us before starting the game is not too lazy to set the start of the administrator and test the ports program PFPortChecker

    Yeah, I get the feeling EA servers are down or something.

    I set my machine as the DMZ host. This does not help at all. DMZ = no firewall at all.
