Tom Clancy H.A.W.X. timeout's
Arrrr!Some of you pirates reported timeout's in the lan lobby of Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.
This problem is confirmed, and under investigation.
While checking where the timeouts come from, network dumps indicate traffic to the following external ip's.
216.98.48.53 - lb-gconnect.ubisoft.com ( only tcp traffic )
216.98.48.18 - gatorservice.ubi.com ( only udp traffic )
216.98.48.57 - lb-stun-prod.ubisoft.com ( mostly stats queries (http) )
Blocking the above ip/hostnames's is not yet tested, but could be a good start!
Tomorrow i will do some serious testing on this game, and report back.
If you have any idea's or suggestions let me know via the comments.
* Update *
H.A.W.X. s very picky about bandwidth. If hosting fails, let someone else host. ( dont forget to open ports for hawx in firewall )
I have been playing with 3 players total for 2 hrs
Open the file located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\HOSTS with notepad editor.at bottom after the text, write in :
216.98.48.53 127.0.0.1
216.98.48.18 127.0.0.1
216.98.48.57 127.0.0.1
HOSTS file can be READ-ONLY, before you start edit HOSTS file, the attributes must first be changed.
...F@$T
The above comment is good, a Ubisoft tech-mod posted it on their forums, although I guess you need to switch them.. To be complete I've added the DNSes also;
127.0.0.1 216.98.48.53
127.0.0.1 216.98.48.18
127.0.0.1 216.98.48.57
127.0.0.1 lb-gconnect.ubisoft.com
127.0.0.1 gatorservice.ubi.com
127.0.0.1 lb-stun-prod.ubisoft.com
