Good news, everyone!
I set up a packet capture on my firewall's external and internal network interfaces, and on my desktop with the game. After analyzing the packet capture, I noticed something strange: my router was requesting my desktop to fragment all its UDP packets down to 576 bytes (whereas 1500 bytes is a normal packet size).
I traced this to my external network connection on the firewall, which was configured with an MTU of 576 bytes (where, again, 1500 is a normal value). This configuration doesn't match my ISP's end of the link (which is, you know, the normal 1500 bytes). I fixed the misconfiguration, started up Titanfall, and...
Immediately connected to a server!
People of the world who are stuck at "Initializing...", I have found one more thing you can look at to fix the problem! Good luck to all. I have no idea how my system got into this configuration, and I think that theoretically the network connections still should have worked (albiet slower, with fragmented packets), but I will ignore those details for now and celebrate.
hey mfenniak,
Sorry for being dumb but can you show me how change this configuration. It would be awesome if you could. Thanks
