Title: Connection Timeout issues
Post by: PepperoniKhan on December 14, 2020, 10:01:09 AM
OK, i've come to a halt with this and its driving me completely bonkers.
Heres the deal - I cant join private servers. ill attempt to join - "Connecting > Connection Timeout." every time. (ive never seen DATA MISMATCH or other messages others have been reporting.)
If I join a server game i.e (STEAM VR blah blah games) "Connecting > Syncing > enters lobby"
I have created rules with my ports (dont completely understand but followed strict rules and direction to do this) opened up firewall blockages.
I have completely deleted EVERYTHING Piboso and MXbikes related - and redownloaded it.

I have installed on my buddies PC and installed OEM bikes and a few tracks - it works fine, the only difference is I use an Ethernet Cable (no wireless)

Please... PLEASE can someone tell me they know whats wrong.

I cannot for the life of me figure it out...

When you say "private" server do you mean a non dedi server?

I have found that I can only join servers that have a ping number, if it is blank/null I can't join, my buddy also cannot join the same set of servers.

That's a critical thing to consider when looking for servers. It stands to reason that if you don't see a ping and only see "---" instead of ping numbers you won't be able to connect and shouldn't expect to.

Yes exactly, so the Dedicated servers I can join freely, but if my buddy makes a lobby, I cannot join it.
If my buddies are in a Lobby with some randoms - I cannot join.. kinda frustrating

Non dedi servers use the port 54210, you might want to check that.

Could be the internet IPV6/4 thing, see if the hosts you can't join run just one or the other and then find out what you can run. If you can both get on the same it might help and IPv6 is usually free to add if you don't already have it.

unfortunately no fix from it though. Thanks for trying!

Someone got success recently by changing their DNS servers, easy to do so worth a shot.

Logically I think you already have your answer -

HAVE IT WORKED TO CONNECT? I COULD GO ONLY TO AN EMPTY SERVER VIA vpn ... I can't log into servers with players, can someone write a solution to the problem

Logically maybe, but can I connect? no.
I have tried port forwarding - but to no success.
maybe im doing it wrong. every tutorial im seeing isn't explaining it very well. feel free to enlighten me some more - if you can.
P.S Have PM'd you but no reply.

I tried with a VPN and it worked too! but my ping was THROUGH THE ROOF.
