hi.
i wanted to know if the connection test has aynthing to say about correct configuration. because whether they fail or not does not change the outcome for me. which is that i cannot join any games at all.
i have my laptop and my xbox connected to the router via ethernet cable. my phone connecrs via wifi. i never had any trouble besides some lengthy f*cking around with settings to set up the wifi.
- when nothing worked on the orignal ports 3071 and 3072 i changed them to 1001 and 1002 respectively
- my xbox can connect to the internet, which is shown by the long time it takes for it to fail connecting to live everytime the xbox boots and the fact
that i can download covers and TUs without problem (weather doesn't work but that seems to have a different reason)
- my xbox is 192.168.1.3. the router 1.1, the laptop 1.2 the phone 1.4
- DHCP is enabled, UPNP is not and i don't think my router has any options to change that, UPNP fails regualrly
- dev kit and ping are set accordingly (as shown in the guide button system link menu)
- after a long time of f*cking around i managed to pass all tests (TCP AND UDP), mostly udp fails but right now i got both to pass.
- jqe360 profile is linked successfully (my profile name in the lobby is shown correctly)
- i can join rooms but i cannot open any
- open matches are shown and i can hit join
- then the fun begins: borderlands 2 gives 30 seconds until timeout upon connection, 5 seconds in i get a loading screen, 5 seconds later i am returned to the main menu "connection to the host was lost". in diablo 3:ros i do not get a loading screen at all just an error "problem joining game".
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? WHY OH WHY DOEST THOU TORMENT ME SO?
i tried following the trouble shooting guide with moderate success:
Are you using the default skin ? > i only have one skin available. i changed the colors though.
Are you using the most recent kernel and dashlaunch ? > 16767 and 3.12
Did you cold boot (power console completely off and then back on again) ? > yes and no. i don't boot into fsd directly so i boot into nxe, start xexloader and navigate to fsd from there, since i don't know how to make a shortcut for fsd and don't want my xbox to boot to fsd directly
Have you tried deleting the plugin, cold booting, then re downloading the plugin update and cold booting again ? > i don't know how to delete/install plugins. i disabled the plugin and enabled it again. then i did the reboot/restart procedure
Have you checked settings to make sure LiNK is enabled ? > of course
have you tried re linking your console with your JQE360 account ? > i did and it was done successfully again
Have you installed the missing avatar/kinect data ($SystemUpdate) ? > i did. the only thing that's missing is the nxe cover art in my games menu
Have you checked your dashlaunch settings (pingpatch on, devlink off) > i checked it the guide button system link menu and apparently they are set correctly.
Are you running the latest TU ? > yes and no. i updated borderlands 2. there is a new tu #2 for diablo that nobody has, yet (region free version). i can still see all the open diablo games in my games browser. only i cannot join them
Are you running any other plugins? If so disable them (dashlaunch plugins like xbdm.xex) > i don't know what that means or how i would check that
Is there a space in your jqe360.com username or in your gamer tag ? If so remove it. > no there is not
Have you tried resetting your link.jqe360.com api key and then re linking you console with your account ? > i don't understand but linking my console to the account was successful according to fsd3
so....
what can be done?
/edit: one of the reasons i don't want to boot into fsd directly is the fact that my diablo3:ros GOD won't start from there. i get "cannot start the game. try downloading it again" error. it starts up from nxe perfectly fine. it is the only game i play from hdd, but there is no alternative because my dvd writer is broken.
