Allowing online game connections

I have to enter speedport. You are usually asked to enter the admin password at this point. You find it on the router or in the router manual usually.

If not, search the Internet for "device name default password" or "device admin password". While you are at it. Check the manual to find out how you configure ports in the device. Try playing or hosting the game once you setup the ports. If it works, congratulations and lots of fun playing the game. If not, you may have a software firewall or other device that is blocking the traffic.

The sheer mass of firewall and security solutions makes that part difficulty. It can even happen that you have two different firewalls enabled, the Windows Firewall which ships with the operating system, and a second firewall that you have installed manually. Lets look at Windows Firewall as this is probably the most common software firewall installed these days.

Click the start button and select Control Panel from the start menu. Select System and Security, and in that menu Windows Firewall. Windows displays the status of the firewall. If you see Connected, the firewall is active. If both are set to not connected, then the firewall is not active. You then need to check your system to see if another security program is running that controls the network traffic. If it is on, you need to click on the "Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall" to see the access rights of the program or game you want to use.

Windows displays a list of programs that are allowed to connect to the Internet. You can read the complete guide to fix Rockstar Games Launcher issue here. The short version is written below:. Step 1: Make sure you have allowed proper access to Rockstar Games Launcher in firewall settings.

Restart the system and try to play GTA online. Chances are your issue will be easily. If not try the methods mentioned below. For many players, I noticed that the main reason for lag and connection issues was the incorrect firewall settings.

If not, you will only face connection errors that are annoying and will keep causing issues while playing GTA Online. Step 3: Now go to firewall settings. Search for advanced firewall settings page as shown below:.

This option allows for lag-free communication between your system and GTA online servers. Now start the game to see if the game starts and connects to GTA online servers without any issues.

This question and answer seems to have helped quite a lot of XBox gamers who wanted to get straight into Among Us at the time of the new release.

I'm glad I put this up! This doesn't work. Checked every single setting in child's xbox account. There is no category called "communication settings" nor "text communications" but I tried changing all messaging settings to "everybody" and this still does not work.

The same error message comes up about not being able to play online because of xbox settings. This is when we try playing the game on PC. As usual, Microsoft's messages provide zero help. I'm not willing to change my child's settings to Adult. What else could be the problem with this game? Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.
