[PC] [solved itself] Help wanted: Network connection issues
To mods: if you could see if the blackout sub might have any pertinent information that would be helpful!
Google has given previews that look possibly helpful. Ive also looked at the official warframe forums and they seem to not respond to this type of problem. At least i found a post from 2017 that seemed highly similar and no official response. Something about ipv6 causing issues. My setup only has ipv4 currently available.
Having a lot of weird issues lately trying to play the game. It started suddenly the other day (june 13th). Was finishing a mission and the game would not load past the mission complete screen so i forced closed the game. I was able to play another mission but it happened again. And after that i wasnt even able to launch the game as the launcher would get stuck on checking for updates.
The day after i was able to get into the game, logged in and such. I was able to interact with my foundry and subsume a frame. But when i went to go join a mission i got networking issues and kicked from the game. And then wasnt able to launch the game again.
I've also been using the mobile app. Which acts odd too when im having these connection issues. If im having network errors in the game, i cant use it unless i turn off wifi. If im able to use the app on wifi i seem to be able to launch the game on my computer but i haven't been able to actually play a map since the 13th.
I've been trying to look up solutions but a lot of posts are locked by the current blackout. So im not sure if theres anything good to try
I have no issues with websites or playing other online games.
Ive been wondering if the issues with aws lately could be part of the problem.
Things I've tried:
router/modem reboot
computer restarts
forced public ip change
uninstall/reinstall (was using steam but switched to non-steam)
Edit:
Well I have no idea what was going on but it seemed to have fixed itself?
Was able to play today(15th). Though the load times into and out of missions were absurdly long.
The last thing I did was to mess with the ports a bit but there are two of us in the same house that play at the same time. And their game is also fixed without messing with the default options. (I do know Two on one network causes some issues, I was only testing things with my computer running the game while troubleshooting this, why I didn't mention that earlier)
Alright so I don't know if it's the same issue I was having, but Warframe failing while other things work makes me suspect that it might be the case. Don't know about the mobile app though.
There was a while where sometimes both Warframe and Microsoft Teams would be having connection issues at the same time but nothing else would. I suspected that they were maybe conflicting their network ports? So I changed the ports Warframe was using and never had the issue again. Never confirmed that that was the actual problem or if what I did fixed it but it might be something you could try.
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually did try messing with the ports but didn't have any luck with that. But today everything seems fine and I have no idea why. I sure love computers lol
