Dead Space 3 Coop Problem: This Solution worked for me

Hi belator2!

Great, even if it's a strange way, I hope that we will get some response on your solution if it's work for other players as well!

Enjoy the co-op belator!

Mine Windows XP, can't connect to co-op camp. 

Well,  its great thats working for you,  but its not an accepted solution for most people

eabastian,  you should instead of embraze these non-durable solutions try to figure out a solution for everyone...  We are living in 2013 and not in year 1995 where people only have the use for 1 computer and one ip... 

Most people inhere have routers and lots of devices as smartphones, tablets, labtop and ofc their gaming computer....  Make the game work with upnp and setup rules in default firewalls and stuff like that so it actually works instead of these half-solutions... 😕mileysad:

You cant really rely on people getting a solution can you?  People actually payed for this game,  and that will atleast make you guys reponsible that people can also play what they bought...

Even manually setting up all the port you postet didnt help  ...and no,  its NOT ports blocked by ISP for me or most others.  The game itself doesnt answer to those ports,  looks like its the UDP ports that causes the problem.  But even if you forward every port,  it doesnt matter....

So its all back to you,  and i can see the problem persists and has been there quite a while by now...  You are fast selling your products,  but seems like you didnt make much testing...  slow support...  This is NOT good,  you should be ashamed at EA

Having the same Problem since the Beginning of the Week.

It's kinda strange, because it actually worked for me the first few Days. I played till Chapter 14 with my Friend with no Problems at all. Then, out of the blue, it just doesn't work anymore.  Already tried Port-Forwarding, Router-Restarts and so on.

What the heck is going on?

I just bought the game,  and ofc the main reson was the co-op play...   So i dont know if there has been any updates,  patches or whatever to the game?  But could be the reason as its not a simple router setup...   I own an enterprice router and have access to every setting you could think of,  and even if i disable the entire firewall,  open every port,  setup trigger rules or whatever the result are the same....  So its the game as i can get any other game to work just fine...

I bought the downloadable version btw...

So.... eabastian?

Progress?  Solutions?  ...or are you just gonna congratulate the few people who get it to work 😕mileylol:

Or we can just wait for dead space 4?  MAYBE that will work?   ...or on second thought,  maybe not ☹️

FIX IT - WE PAYED FOR THIS - SO DO YOUR JOB

Ofc, if its BF there is some error where u cant join the game, if its MoH there is some problem u can join the game.

Why am I not surprised they would mess this up?

Can u put one co op game that actually works?

I play a lot of other games, and srsly? just now do I realize how awesome Blizzard is, I swear never to flame them again.

Where in the world do you have a CM coming to say "Ohh u found some odd way to fix this? good for you!"

Give us a **bleep** solution, or fix your **bleep** game already.

A few days ago I buy this game, because I want to enjoy the coop feature. but since then, I cannot connect to ea servers, What happens, there´s a solution to this problem, I open all the ports, I configure a static ip, everything, and still I have no sucess at this.

Hey everyone,

I too was experiencing A TON of problems getting co op to work with my friend.  We eventually figured it out.  I hope you can follow my steps and see if this resolves any issues for you, as well.

First- Click on Start

-> Computer

-> Network (on bottom left)

-> Under Network Infrastructure right click the picture of your router

-> Click Properties, followed by Settings

-> Add. Description of service is Dead Space 3, Your IP for your router ex. 192.168.<>.<>, both ports should be 3659, select UDP, Click OK.

Now, the second step is to portforward.  The best way to do this is go to google.com and type something like "Portforward for Dead Space 3 PC <insert your router name and model here" and submit. 

Your results should be something like this:

http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/Dead_Space_3.htm

Or you can simply go to http://portforward.com and navigate to your router type and select the game there.

Follow the very easy instructions with setting up a Static IP, and then opening the ports that it prompts you to in your router settings.

I know, it seems like alot, but it only takes about 10 minutes or less to set it up, just follow the pictures, it's very easy and you'll be playing co-op in no time.

Feel free to add me on Origin or Steam and message me for any help, I'll be glad to attempt to walk you through it.
