ok basically my swtor launcher only opens up once even after opening the correct ports then after closing it doesnt open if i try again. im wondering how can i keep the ports open all the time so the game always opens no matter what. thank you for your time.
Ok I finally managed to set up a working Static IP address what do I do now to forward my ports?
I would run a test first , put that static IP in the DMZ and see if your issues are gone ?
no amount of port forwarding will help if it persists whilst in the DMZ
The DMZ is a zone that provides direct access to the internet and should be bypassing the firewall, this is usually for those that run servers etc, but for your case it is a test to be sure port forwarding will now work.
See this video at around the 1:10 minute mark he clicks into his static IP for his xbox one being 192.168.1.2 , this is no different for clicking into what your static IP address is and should be listed similar, you will see the tab for DMZ in the video , in there it should be either an enable for that IP address or it is an entry where you can input that static IP address.
Ok I Added it to the DMZ restarted computer and modem/router game still doesn't load GUI it works in safe mode but not in regular mode. made sure its allowed in McAfee and Windows firewall still no go. static IP is set up still no go. any ideas? basically the only time ive GOTTEN it to work was once and that was the first time I tried it through windows firewall allowed it through there worked once then tried port forwarding over the phone through spectrum. it would load once but as soon as I close the game and try again it wouldn't load. and the solutions I tried wouldn't work anymore, like they were a one time deal I don't know why it was like that. any ideas?
I would tether that PC to a mobile phone and use its internet connection to see if the same occurs, or take that PC to someone/friend and try their home internet and see if it all works.
If it works on a different network then it is conformed the issue lays with the sagemcom router, if the issue still occurs on a different network then its the PC
Need to establish where you need to focus otherwise it is just guessing
do u have any more ideas? basically port forward, worked once, close game stopped working, allow through firewall, worked once, close game, stopped working. u have any idea why the game would stop loading after 1 successful game load?
Have you tried that computer on a different internet connection ? a friends house maybe and see if the game behaves
no I haven't and I don't have access to such things right now sorry, I hope u have some more ideas that may have worked for other people as this is the only online game I have that is experiencing the problem.
You are best to do the following, try this game on a different computer on your internet connection, and try your computer on a different internet connection.
This will determine if it is the router that is the center of causing this issue. Have you tried resetting that router back to factory defaults ?
