    Default Cant join Multiplayer games.

    So hello. I was trying to join MP games but I always got the No Responde from Host message.
    Downloaded the NTW Data Checker and clicked "Make me Vanilla", but turns out I was already Vanilla. So I tried joining again.. same thing : No response from host.

    But I play Shogun 2 normally.
    So.. any ideas?

    Have you ever been able to contact the server? That is, have you been able to play MP games in the past?

    Are you running any firewall software? Have you got the appropriate ports open on the firewall and at the router? Does your router require port forwarding to be set up? (Napoleon: Total War requires you to forward ports 4380, 49181 & 27000-27050.)

    I've played one game once. Just one game. Just once. Never more.

    So all I need is to open ports?

    The ports need to be open for any firewalls you have and, if the router requires it, you need to put port forwarding (for the noted ports) onto the router. I can't guarantee that'll fix it but problems with the port settings are certainly the most common problem with failed connections.

    I have the same problem. Me and my buddy bought napoleon and the same message appears. We haven't been able to play a single game. What is weird is that we always play shogun 2 and have no problem connecting. Is the port stuff only for napoleon?

    Have you asked in the multiplayer forums?
