me and a friend are dusting off our copies to play again, but we both use routers so we have to use port forwarding to allow us to play....

 

what ports does swr use? friend says manual dosn't say, i can't confirm as i no longer have the manual

I keep having this problem too. (Or did in my last round of attempts to play the game.) Only it's just me using the router. I can get LAN games going just fine.

Yeah, it's a problem with the game - but don't fear, there's a fix

I posted the ports that need to be opened here on the forums a long time ago. Try some searching?
