The text will only show, as far as I know, when the host doesn't have the ports open. So when you were hosting and you saw the text, that's because your ports weren't properly opened for whatever reason. When you see it joining a game, that means that the host doesn't have their ports opened. So it's them now.

Outscar you are hilarious. They added a feature which allows donut heads like yourselves to host games without having your ports properly forwarded and you claim they are RUINING THE GAME? Give your fucking head a check! This feature is added with the intent of being purely beneficial and this is your response??

If you can truly host on iccup and are 100% positive you have the ports forwarded properly then take the 5 seconds it takes to head over to blizz forums and make a post in the bug report section!

If you want to test it on ICCup, i am awake right now and willing to go online with you. Shoot me a PM.


Look, I don't fucking really care if they made to host games without having ports forwarded or not for ppl who didn't forward it. All I know my ports are forwarded well and don't try to teach me how you do it, I've gone through all hells of it and made it work on iCCup/Fish. It worked well before, now not working. What's my benefit when I'm gonna get lag vs. everyone despit my ports open?

And before calling me "donut head" and "give your head check" think with your own fucked up "donut" head - what works for you doesn't mean for everyone. You fucking telling me to head to blizz forums? YOU? TELLING ME? I've been there since April. So please fucking shut up. You don't decide if I'm allowed to criticize or not.

You can criticize when it's valid and in the correct place. Spewing shit about blizzard while not taking responsibility for your own mistakes is not valid nor is this the correct place. You do not have your ports opened properly and so you see this message. End of story.

And like I said, if you truly do have your ports opened correctly, which many people in this thread thought but it turned out they weren't. Then make a post to the bug forums like I suggested and do something to remedy the situation, instead of doing what you are doing. Which is whining like a little bitch.

I'm not sure what more to do about port forwarding.
I've modified my router's settings so I have:
- DMZ enabled for my computer
- Port-forwarding for 6112-6119

Anti-virus was temporarily disabled. I've added exceptions to Windows Firewall to allow port range.

What else does Blizzard need? I've got Computer Science degree and I can't figure it out.

It looks like you are "translating" to ports. I've never seen that but a quick google search makes it sound like you are redirecting ports 6112-6119 to the exact same ports instead of opening them.

Try leaving the "translate to" part blank perhaps? Or maybe delete that entry entirely and rely on the DMZ set to your computer?

It didn't work unfortunately. Router doesn't let me leave those fields blank. I suppose I'll have to google a bit more. Maybe it's my ISP's fault?

Or at least something strange about the router. Removing the starcraft:broodwar entry entirely and using the DMZ doesn't work?

Or you could I suppose, put like port 80 or a generally open port into the "translate to" spot and see if maybe that works. I wouldn't suggest it though I don't know if that would work. Might be worth a shot though.

Also it doesn't say in that screenshot that it's forwarding for any specific IP which is strange. Any time I've ever forwarded ports has needed the internal IP of the computer you are using. Maybe this router is different and it does the range for every single computer on the network but that seems weird to me.

Nope, DMZ alone didn't work. That's why I attempted to configure port forwarding. Oh well, I'll try port 80 tomorrow. It's time to sleep in Europe. Thanks for help!

Fuck knows, my ISP has its own branded router. Here it is: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/bt/bt-home-hub-5
They're hiding who manufactured it.

Alright so it looks like you had the port part set up correctly, but theres a second part you need to do. Once you have the application rule set up you need to go back and apply that to the device you are currently using. Did you do that step?

It should look like this: [image loading]
but with game/application as starcraft:bw and device as the current computer you are on.

This page has more details if you need https://portforward.com/bt/home-hub-5/

I was actually looking on Google if other people with this router have that problem. One of the answers was to:
1) Reset router because it might be upset after previous settings (lol).
2) Disable UPnP.
3) Add rules again.

I only did 2) and kept my DMZ setting. That seems to be working now. Thanks.

Should I really need to enable DMZ or not? It has a feild DMZ Host IP: " ". Should I post my IP there?

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/7hj76l/guide_how_to_fix_lag_in_scr/

Is a good guide for anyone trying to forward their ports.

One important thing is to make sure to set a Static IP for your pc when doing this. Otherwise when your router dynamically assigns a different IP your ports won’t be forwarded.

So firstly i want to say that i did everything as it was said in the guide to open ports to my router years ago and it worked until Blizzard stepped in.

Secondly now that i did it again (mainly deleted all the rules that i made years ago and did it again and it helped) i no longer have red text when i make replay or a game but now almost all koreans whenever see me entering the game immediately ban me.....These few who wanted to play had lag with me (bigger than it was when i had my old rules set up and maybe its a coincidence) so my life became even harder now and i regret trying to "Open my already opened ports"...
If i opened them in some wrong way then it seems the guide that i had was bad but for some reason until now it all worked perfectly....I was using ( in time o 1.16.1 patch) wLauncher not McaLauncher tho both are based on wlauncher.... Blizzard cant do no wrong i know ^^

So i and my friend tested our settings in various ways.. We both had opened ports previously and only i opened them again... My friend has the same situation.. After entering a game of a host who has mark of a proxy server near a game name he see the red txt and i to. When my friend enter a game of someone who has properly opened ports then he dont see anyting... When he entered my game or replay we didnt see anything but when i entered his game we saw a red txt...

At the end it seems i did manage to open my ports.... Still seems like a bad deal...

And im still not sure if they are opened if koreans seem to recognize me as a lager ( tho not all have lag with me but it seems to be a bigger amount than before) now, cuz why wouldnt they play now that i should have even less lag than before...

It's worth a try, put in your local IP. Guide below your post has details on how to obtain that if you dont know it.

When he makes a game and i enter we both see the txt but when i do this now after i opened my ports we dont see anything so it seems i did it right where he didnt do anything... I will make more tests and maybe ill try something more but i just wanted to say that no matter what there wasnt a problem until now... In other words maybe Blizzard did something good for all the ppl who couldnt make games but somehow it worked in a wrong way in case of many other ppl...

I will try something more...

1) Rewrote rules and reopened ports
2) Allowed all connnections to SC:R in my firewall
3) Disabled UPnP
4) Enabled DMZ
5) Turned off and on my router

= works

4) Disabled DMZ

= not working

So problem was with DMZ. I stand corrected. Sorry for bitching. Hope this helps for others too.

By the way:
4) Enabled DMZ
4) Enabled UPnP
= works too
