Connection Timing Out

I can’t connect to any other players in the game, I get connection time outs every time.

I’ve ensured UPNP is enabled on my router, I can play other games over steam with the same people I tried to connect to. Quick play encounters the same issue.

Seemingly relevant bit of log file:

The Connection Timeout error is unfortunately often router or ISP-related. For debugging purposes, could you hook your PC up to a mobile data connection to see if the error persists?

Hello Julia,

You’re correct that using my phone as a hotspot now works - my question would be why is your game unique in this respect?

I’ve never had this issue with any game I’ve played in the past.

I couldn’t say, unfortunately. You could try running through the router and DNS-related solutions listed here.

Otherwise it might be worth contacting your ISP and explaining that you’re having issues with your connectivity to https://5107.playfabapi.com/, which is the endpoint to our backend. They might be able to see why that connection can’t be established.

Thanks for your reply.

Changing my DNS to the CloudFlare one didn’t work.

Also, the link in your documentation on how to change your DNS is broken.
