Hi, I have been playing VT2 some time ago for almost 127h and didn’t have any trouble to connect to game or friend connecting in my lobby.
but recently we wanted to replay VT2 with my friend but i can’t connect to them and they can’t connect to me, but they can connect to each other or other VT2 game on-line ( i can’t do that either).
so i try to look for solution on this forum (also the steam forum) didn’t find anything looking like me.
but i try to resolve the issue by doing:
-delete all the mod installed
-make steam verify the files for the game
-de-installed the game completely and reinstalled it(and re-dowload the 74gig)
-deactivate all AV or FW on my PC
-make a DMZ in my router to make my PC the only thing that can be reached from the web
PC spec:
WIN10PRO 64bit
ram: 16gig
Proc: I7-6700k
Network: ASUS XG-C100C 10G
CG: GTX 1080 Ti
SC of the error, my friend an i are getting when connecting to me. ( connection expired)
so i check my DNS ( i have my own) it was a little bit freez so i corect this and it works perfectly now, now there is the second logs with my dns working properly .
20:54:26.686 [Connection] Dropping packet from 110000110195798 since remote session is unknown yet
20:54:26.896 [Lua] [Matchmaking] Failed to connect to host due to timeout. lobby_id=186000001b84717, host_id:ReSidH3LL
20:54:26.896 [Lua] [Matchmaking] Adding broken lobby: 186000001b84717 Due to bad connection or something: true, ignoring it for 120 seconds
20:54:26.896 [Lua] [ChatManager][1]System: Connexion expirée
so i sight and make my DNS 1.1.1.1 and second 8.8.8.8.
( i reboot my game between the change)
annnnnnnnnd here we go third logs, nothing change.
I am having the exact same problem. I was playing all last week, and just today around 5PM EST I was just suddenly unable to join any games, I had JUST been in a game stepped away for a few minutes and now nothing. tried clearing the cache, restarting steam, PC and game, verified game files, changed search variables and still nothing… very odd. My ISP is very slow, so reinstalling from scratch is an absolute (3-4 day download) last resort…
