I fixed this! I went into my router's advanced settings and turned on port-triggering (not forwarding). See screens:
if you are referring to post #2, you can open quick launch settings by going to origin, clicking apex legends, pressing the cog icon for settings, then advanced options. But this is pointless, still can't play on the same party
no, I am not referring to someone saying how you can change the port in another game.
If you can change the port the game uses to connect, you can then set up port forwarding rules so that the clients will not talk over each other. If it is a NAT issue as I believe, it will fix the problem. The problem I have is that typing random stuff in to a undocumented command line is not my idea of a good time.
What we needs is a tech to post what port is used by the game client to connect to the game server, and if it can be changed per client. that is the part that isn't working.
I don't needs a list of every port that the Origin launcher and Apex front end uses, as that all seems to be working ok at least. I get some random disconnects but no more then others are getting playing with people not on the same LAN.
