SH5 Multiplayer using UBI Servers

[popflynn]

hi Captains, I hosted SH5 every weekend Fri-Sun inc for quite a few years. Using UBI server. I havent hosted for a few months now, as new games have encroached on my gameplay.

I noticed quite a few people are having problems connecting to hosts. To enable a person to host they have to open the following ports

Port forwarding......
port 80 tcp/udp
port 3074 tcp/udp
port 3075 - 3174 udp
port 19000 - 19002 tcp/udp

Host also has to ensure that their network ip address is associated to those ports.
(run/cmd/ipconfig) will tell you your ipv4 address
192.168.0.2 - 255.

I am running with a virginmedia superhub (nat 2 router) with no problems. Router firewall set to low. Router set to reserve network ip address 192.168.0.2, to my desktop. (This stops my getting a different ip adds if my router is restarted.

1 other thing to mention is mods, Eye candy mods/voice command has no problem running, but gameplay mods, unless player/host have exactly the same mods running, will create issues.

I can understand the draw of 3rd party hosting ie hamachi, tunngle etc, and now Steam. Good Luck Kaleuns..

You do know that Ubisoft and Uplay are ending their online services end of the year do you ?

Thanks for heads up Ashikaga, I was aware that ubi were going to close their servers, this was mentioned about 2 - 3 years ago also..

Something I don't think I made clear in original post was ONLY the HOST needs to have the ports open etc. other players can join, without opening their ports.
cheers for info

Ah okay. Well hopefully one day someone comes up with a workaround like the people playing IL2 Cliffs of Dover did *Team Fusion and Storm of War guys.

Running their own servers for massive engagements.
