hey guys,

me and a friend both have the same problem.

we are both in the uk and we both keep getting the message pop up while we are racing/driving around..."the tdu servers are currently unavailable..." BUT int he top left corner it says in green "tdu servers available" ?

we arent getting any leaderboard info up after each race like you did in the beta/xbx360 and we dont see any online players.

anyone else getting this in the uk?

my router shudnt be a problem because its setup to allow ongoing traffic and routers only need to have ports open if you are hosting a game. I also played the beta without any problems online, as did my friend.

any ideas whats goin on?

cheers

If you have problems with the servers, you'll need to check 2 things:

1. Your profile is an online one - go to profile and ensure the box is ticked
2. Manually open all ports listed in the read me file

When you play on a system that is behind a firewall or proxy, certain ports may need to be opened to connect to multiplayer games.

You must be able to access these external ports:

UDP 8880->8889

UDP 8890

UDP 27000->30000

TCP 6667

TCP 27000->30000

You have to open the following local port: TCP8889

Ports 17475 and 9961 (TCP/UDP) must be opened.



do we open them all or what ? what ones? pls tell meh thx

If you have a router (like I do) that is stopping incoming connections only, its just the last 3 ports mentioned above you need to open.

8889 (TCP),
17475 and 9961 (TCP/UDP)
