UPnP Support

Recommended Posts

It would be nice if DayZ Supported UPnP to dynamically open ports in firewalls. While I do have manual port forwards open on port 2302-2305 not all servers use those ports. It would be pretty sweet if the game confirmed the port that the server is on and opened it via UPnP in my router. I would also help with desync and latency for people whom lack the skill set to open ports in their routers.

I thought steam handled the port the game used?
As such that if you play with two clients in the same home network, you've got to configure steam to use another port?

I might be completely wrong though :x.

If Steam does do port handling then its broken on my Linksys E4200 w/DD-WRT installed. As when Im playing no ports are opened by anything. Unlike my Xbox360, Utorrent and other clients.I have also played with 2x people on one connection, actually play with 3x as well, No dice. I will look into the steam angle see what I can dig up.

its an issue with NAT translation on your router

 

change one of the clients to use a different port by using -port parameter on advanced statup

 

make sure the following is open

 

port UDP (used for game)

port+1 UDP (used for server reporting)

port+3 UDP (used for VoN transmissions)

 

i suggest using -port=25007

 

and then open up

25007

25008

25010

Nothings perfect, I still think it would be a good idea.
