Issues with multiplayer

interesting, maybe because we both have the deluxe premium running, hmm

Obviously I’m not sure of this

No, I am Standard and also have this error.

Ok good to hear

same issue. along with both of my friends. All with same multiplayer settings and flying very close. It seems to be somewhat dependent on who forms the group? but totally sporadic and intermittent. I see them then they don’t see me or the opposite. Rarely do we all see each other even when flying side by side in the same group.

same issue

Eolb79 · August 21, 2020, 1:01pm

I couldn’t see my friend and couldn’t interract with him.
I check the firewall on my computer ((Kaspersky) and put flightsimulator in trust mode.

Then I configure port forwarding on the router, forwarding these ports to my computer

TCP: 3074
UDP: 88,500,3074,3544,4500

It seems to work now. I can see my friends and can flight with !!!

Hope this help

Where in my router i need to change to port forwarding . And i dont use windows firewall or third party anti virus its all
Off for me .

Can u help me with this.

Did you have no errors when you tried to forward ports 500 and 4500? I ask because normally every router does not allow forwarding these two ports in UDP.

Eolb79 · August 21, 2020, 6:44pm

You should look for help with the router doc. On mine, i have a section called port forwading…
I can’t be more precise… sorry…

Eolb79 · August 21, 2020, 6:46pm

I forced the port forwarding, without asking myself if it is allowed or no… It works for me… Can’t tell you more ^^

What if you have two players on two separate computers? My son’s computer doesn’t see any traffic, but I do.

Have been doing multiplayer flights with a friend for the past 3 days with no issues.

Angernerve · August 22, 2020, 5:34am

@McLovinSan has the same issue. He never appears online for me or anyone on his friends list. He’s tried a multitude of options such as changing from offline to online status and servers. He always has to start the group as none of us can invite him as he’s always “offline”. Even within the group, his icon shows as offline. @OlieTsubasa443 maybe you can shed some more light on this one?

Eolb79 · August 22, 2020, 5:41am

I would say that, in this case, you simply need to open ports on every firewall on your router and on computers ^^

sgtven32 · August 22, 2020, 8:45am

I have the same problem. I see no servers in the list and I have none of the features that require online.

I tried the ports on the firewall and closing windows firewall but no result.

Try checking your connection with Xbox Live servers in Windows 10 settings / gaming / Xbox Networking. The first time you open the page, it will automatically launch the check but it’s faulty, so click Check again. If after the second check the result is Nat Type Open everything is fine but if it is not open try following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JArUQ5l_INg

My Xbox app was showing as open when I couldn’t see a friend on Tuesday, I also tried the port forwarding then as well with no luck. I think these are server problems but I’'ve not heard anything back about the support ticket I raised.
