I was playing a MP game, got a CTD. Restarted CK and tried to log on, but when I choose Multiplayer and then Valkyrienet, all it says is that it's trying to retrieve channels but fails to do so.

Have no idea what to do, really. Is it a problem with V-net or my own computer? If the problem is mine, how do I solve it?
 
Solved the problem by allowing the V-net ports full access. Weird that it wasn't needed before though.
 
All MP related questions belong in the MP forum as per the sticky thread instructions.

Im having access issues too... can you talk me through how you gave full port access? I dont even know where to check my ports at!

No problem :)

My router is a Netgear RP614v3. As you might have a different router, the exact changes needed to be made might be a bit different for you, but it's largely the same stuff.

I logged on to my router. In my case, I had an option available called Port Forwarding. There I chose to add a custom service. A new window prompted me to specify a service name, a starting port, an ending port, and the computers IP number.

The service name could be anything, I named it 'paradox' as a reminder. As starting port i entered 2300, and as ending port I entered 2400, and finally I entered my computers IP number. Then I clicked "add" and, in the following window, "apply" to make the router use the settings.

Then I repeated the process with the other needed ports, which are 47624, 6073, and the port range 33943-34000. The last range is for Valkyrienet, which I had to specify to even see channels available.

Also, when entering the single ports 47624 and 6073, you simply specify the same port as both the starting port and the ending port.

Hope it helps :)

EDIT: Oh, and don't forget to turn off any software firewalls you might have activated, such as ZoneAlarm.
