enewyn Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 So i've had this problem for about an entire day now. When i open the game immediately a message saying "Please ensure that your firewall permits UDP ports 4950 & 4955" pops up. The "Help" button provides no helpful information whatsoever, and every method that i could find anywhere i've tried and it still doesn't work. Help please? I really don't know what to do.

Generally speaking, every time you do something on the internet that thing needs an open port to communicate on. For whatever reason the game is having issues communicating. It is giving you this suggestion in an attempt to solve the communication problem. First things first...how is your gameplay? Are you seeing issues with lag? Anything happening in game that's unusual? Regular errors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 THeMooN85 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I got this message from like 8 months (when I started to play WF)... Any problems with game stability or connecting to others or others connecting to me is not related with ports itself. By clicking help and trying to solve the problem with what help site saying is useless and the popup is simply annoying, but that's it. There's no relation between ports and gameplay itself.

Based on some posts I've read other people have seen similar errors and ignored them. It might be different for OP which is why I asked him about what he's seeing. If he's seeing gameplay issues the community can offer suggestions on how to fix them. If not he can ignore the error the same way you've been doing.

0 enewyn Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 I don't have gameplay issues besides the obvious like high ping when connecting to far away hosts, it just doesn't let me play multiplayer anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 enewyn Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Oh nevermind, i guess. The message jsut stopped popping up and everything is fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question

So i've had this problem for about an entire day now.
When i open the game immediately a message saying "Please ensure that your firewall permits UDP ports 4950 & 4955" pops up.
The "Help" button provides no helpful information whatsoever, and every method that i could find anywhere i've tried and it still doesn't work.
