Ping on the server is shown as "???"


Recommended Posts

Short answer: It's a known issue. Some people describe you can open some ports to fix it, for others it doesn't work. Since it's not affecting your gameplay ignoring it is the best way to go.

Is there anything i can do on my end to solve this? A setting in the router perhaps?

 

Hey, you should be able to configure your existing router to allow ping requests to come through.

 

To do this you need to forward UDP traffic on port 10999 

 

Long form answer:

 

To find your systems internal ip address, open a command window (cmd) and type ipconfig.  It will return something like this:


Windows IP ConfigurationEthernet adapter Local Area Connection:   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : office.kleientertainment.com   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : -----------------------   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.XX.XX <--- You want this one

Next, go to your router configuration page.  (Try googling the model of your router to find this page / the credentials required to access it).   Look for a tab that says port forwarding.  And forward UDP traffic on port 10999 to your internal ip (192.168. something ).

 

------------

 

Since so many servers cannot be pinged, we will likely come up with a better solution in the not-so-distant future.

 

Good luck!
