Dear RWR community,

you probably already ran through this issue multiple times as well. This might be due to the fact that the game of the HOST has been blocked by the windows firewall or that the HOST most likely sits behind a router and the port he used to host hasn't been forwarded (default: 1234 but you could use whatever port you want).
For informations about how to make a port forwarding please consult the manual of your router.

Here is an general example about how to set up a port forwarding:

RWR can't detect (yet) if the game listed in "join multiplayer" has the port forwarded or not so please keep in mind to check your settings to have those done before hosting!
Thank you!

Jack

We have sometimes community dedicated servers that are online for a few days and unfortunately it happens often enough that they are not accessible, probably because of badly configured firewall.
If a server is up for a while and not accessible, the IP will be blacklisted so that the server won't show up in the serverlist anymore, to avoid people trying to join the server and wondering why it's not working for them.
If Your server has been blacklisted and you figured out that you had it running with a blocked port, just leave us a message and we'll remove your IP from the list.

Also, check to make sure that your version of RWR matches the server's version!
