I get a timeout when entering a game via the aLobby in Settlers 3 - why?
Possible reasons for this are:
The game is already full.
In that case, this error is normal.
Solution:
choose another open game.
You are trying to enter a game without an active VPN connection that has been opened only to players with VPN.
Solution:
Launch your
VPN
connection.
You try to enter a game without an active VPN, which was also opened without VPN.
Solution:
See
Port List
and follow the instructions there for router and firewall.
You try to join a VPN-hosted game.
Solution:
Which ports do I have to unlock on my firewall to play?
