Ff unable to download patch files

I succeeded in downloading 6 patch files before this. I tried the following steps: Close all background applications. Disable all security software. Clear cache. Delete download folder in My Games. None of these attempts worked. I downloaded just this one file, canceled on the next one to switch off the VPN, and resumed downloading normally. I am not done patching, but I have encountered no issues since.

There's also a slight set back fix of deleting the most recently patched file and letting the patcher reload it. Burningchair View Profile View Posts.

Otherwise, your ISP may forward these ports for you. If you continue to receive these same errors when you are connected directly to the modem, then the problem lies with your ISP. We would recommend contacting them and advising them that one or more of the ports previously provided to you are being blocked or filtered, and that you do need access on these ports.

Hope to see you online. Originally Posted by Ariellendera. Hey i found the solution, apparently my new router was the problem, probably should have figured that out.
