Re: Can't play since latest patch due to port 3659 error

Hello,

Let's try this one:


I suggest that you should download and run this one  and this one Run both of them and restart the PC after the instalation is completed.

Then try to join a server and see if it helps.

In case this is not working, I suggest to install Smart Port Forwarding   and do the following settngs:

  • open the software - a blank white windows should pop up with 5 columns (Protocol - Listen On - Forward To - Type - Running)
  • Right click on the Blank white window and a pop up should be present saying Add new Forwarding Port.
  • click on the new option and you should see a new window.
  • There are 2 selectable options : TCP and UDP.
  • select TCP and near it should be present a case labeled "Listen Port"
  • Inside that case type 3659 and click OK
  • Now you should see that the blank white window has a new set of options in it.
  • next repeat the first step (Right click-Add new Forwarding port)
  • Now Select UDP and type 3659 in the Listen Port Case.
  • Select OK.
  • Close or minimize the software and try to join a server without restarting your pc (there is no need for that.)

Thank you and keep me posted about this!

    Here's what I've done so far and the game is currently working:

    1. Downloaded the x86 2013 file and installed, game didn't work.

    2. Downloaded the x86 2012 file and 2013, repaired both but game still didn't work.

    3. Downloaded the smart port forwarder but the game didn't work.

    4. Second time around I clicked on the game as soon as it said it was doing something and the game worked.  I'm going to play around and see whether I have to click on the game as soon as it start logging in or connecting (which ever one comes first) or I can carry on clicking on it when it says "loading game.

    I'll report back here what I find.

    I don't know if those two files I downloaded did anything but the smart port program is letting me play.

    Thanks.

    EDIT:

    When turning the program on, right click one of the two bits you add, click on start all.  Then it works.

    I've tried this for a few days, it does not work.  On top of that, I need to create a static IP for my machine, since, every time I turn it on in the morning, it's a different IP.  Once I match the ip addresses in the network settings menu for my router, it still won't work.
