Hello all,

I cannot seem for the life of me to connect to SWRNet properly (if at all). The issue here being, when I open up the launcher and toggle the enable SWRNet option, it loads up fine and I get the current player count, whoop-de-doo. However, once I am actually in the game, the lobby appears to be completely empty. This issue has persisted for me between the 1.86 release version and the 1.87 public test build, so I suspect that it may be an issue on my end more than anything else. Given that I have the technical experience of an orangutan, along with the importance of port forwarding in being able to connect to SWRNet properly, I suspect that my issue might be therein. Or it may be something else entirely; beats me.

Here's the view of the port forwarding manager from my router's UI. Would there be any glaring errors here that I've made? If not, where do I go from here?

I'm also running the game off of the Origin version of Zero Hour, if that's important. Thank you!

Being a tech noob myself, if I may ask a basic question: are you doing a direct connect to swr.net?

C'mon over to SWR's Discord group where you can get real time help instead of waiting for someone to answer your questions.
