I'm having a problem connecting to multiplayer in Splinter Cell Blacklist, what should I do?

ANSWER:

If you're having trouble connecting to a multiplayer game, try the following solution:

Firewall

Start by updating your antivirus or personal firewall / Firewall that may be installed on your computer.
To update and define softwarelike ZoneAlarm, Norton AntiVirus / Internet Security, McAfee, Avast, etc. , contact the software manufacturer.

Also, keep in mind that Windows Firewall (which can be accessed through the control panel, as shown below) can block the game's Internet connection. For recommendations on how to update Windows (highly recommended) please see

Opening Windows Firewall from Control Panel

If updating these programs does not solve the problem, you may need to configure the software to allow access to a specific application. This action is performed through the list of exclusions (may be named differently, depending on your software). When adding a game as an exception, don't forget to add the executable file (EXE) for both the game and Uplay.

Network ports
If it is not possible to disable the firewall, you need to route the following network ports to the IP address of your computer for the best possible connection:

Game Ports:
TCP: 80, 443
UDP: 3658, 13000-13032

Uplay PC:
TCP: 80, 443, 14000, 14008, 14020, 14021, 14022, 14023 and 14024.

Example of network port forwarding

Instructions for configuring network ports are specific to the software being used and can be found on the manufacturer's web page. You can also check for a hint free resourcessuch as Port Forward. Please note that this site is not affiliated with Ubisoft.

Background applications
You may also run into problems caused by applications running in background on your computer. During playback ubisoft gamesPlease remember to close all running background applications before starting the game.
Read and follow the steps listed in the instructions:

Open the Start Menu, search for Run (Win XP), Start Search (Win Vista), or Search for Programs and Files (Win 7)
- Remove all information from the scrolling line and enter the word MSCONFIG. Press Enter / Enter to open the System Configuration Utility
- Browse the list of startup items (not the Startup tab) and select the Selective startup option (if not already selected) (If you don't see this feature, make sure you click on the "General" option at the top of the window)
- Once you clicked on "Selective startup", uncheck "Load startup items"
- After completing this step, click "Apply" and "OK", then restart your computer

Disabling startup items with Msconfig

* Please note that this is only a temporary solution and any changes can be undone by returning to the MSCONFIG utility by re-selecting the "Normal Startup *

HOSTS files
The host file is a small text file that is part of operating system Windows. The host file can be used to route traffic and sometimes block a website.
Clear your HOSTS file to exclude the possibility of blocking access to a multiplayer game. The easiest way to clean up your HOSTS file is to click on the Fix it / Fix button in the Microsoft article, which can be found

Traffic throttling / Blocked ports
You may face restrictions from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If the multiplayer connection issue is not resolved, contact your ISP for more information about any specific restrictions placed on the previously mentioned network ports.

The problem is not solved?
If, after following these steps, problems persist, please contact with a full description of your problem, including the error messages you received.

What the f ... nya error is?

Most users have a situation that they cannot connect with friends for a cooperative (whether it be sending an invite or going to a friend's lobby), and the connection occurs with random players, but with friends, well, nothing. And when I try to join, I get the error "Failed to join, please try again later"
Many sin on ports and try to turn off the firewall or forward ports. You do not need to do this, since when Blacklist is installed, a rule is automatically created that opens the necessary ports. Antivirus also has nothing to do with it. Even more than that, at first they thought that the matter was in the provider (I have internet adsl 5 Mbps, and my friend has a 3g modem from the big three), but nothing. Understood)))

Get out of the situation and finally connect with a friend, no matter what helped. How to install you can see

And do not forget to go to any party in Evolve to initialize the installation of the Evolve Gaming Connection network interface.

In theory, you can also use Tunngle or Hamachi

After registering and installing the program, the fun begins:
It is necessary to change the priority of network interfaces:

1) Go to the "Network and Sharing Center" (note the names of your active network connections. I have the main Internet connection ETHERNET)
2) Click "Change adapter settings"
3) Press Alt in this window to display the menu bar and select Advanced - Advanced options
4) In the window that opens, use the arrows to arrange the network services so that the Evolve service is at the top, and the service of the current Internet connection is the second from the top (I have 1-Evolve, 2 - Ethernet)
5) Click OK to apply the changes and restart your computer
6) Come with a friend to a common party in Evolve, then start the game and connect as expected through an invitation to the lobby in the game. Everything is working)

Additional Information

A) The method was tested with the connection proxy checkbox off in Uplay, but in theory it does not affect this situation
B) For those who cannot play multiplayer at all, even with random games: you can try to set Uplay compatibility with Windows XP SP2
C) The connection does not depend on the source of the Internet (tried on adsl, optics and 3g modems MTS and Megafon. There is no difference. For this guide, everything works on anyone)
D) The actions according to the instructions must be performed respectively on two computers (your own and a friend))))
E) During the test, we played on win 8.1 and win 7. No problems from the versions of the operating systems were noticed

A post for those who are not helped by Hamachi or Open VPN to create local network between two players, as well as those who use a non-licensed version of the game. In particular, when the network is installed, but you do not see each other in the game.

How to play co-op on a local network, via the Internet

One password will be used to enter the site, the other - for the program. The registration procedure is standard, after filling out the form, go to your mailbox, activate your account.

How to play co-op on a local network, via the Internet

Download, follow the installation instructions, restart your computer.

We launch the program, select the language. In advance in "System - Options" turn off sounds, because they will be very annoying.

In the Network Search column enter: Conviction. Choose a suitable lobby with a game, tell your friend how many people are sitting in it, so that you are in the same group. That's it, we turn off the program, start the game.

How to play co-op on a local network, via the Internet

Attention: The game will see the lobbies of all players, both you and them you, so the main thing is to find your friend. On a pirate, this is possible only by coordination via voice communication. The player's nickname will be visible on the license.

I want to devote this article to one very useful and time-tested program Tunngle... Many players who do not have licensed versions of the game are eager to play multiplayer or co-op games in the series Splinter cellbut don't know how.

This is where the search for unnecessary programs in Google begins, the dreary network setup, server problems, and the like. And I tell you - for this there is absolutely free, reliable and convenient Tunngle program.

To begin with, I will quote from one source:

Tunngle is a revolutionary peer-to-peer VPN solution that provides the best online entertainment. This is a client program that helps players, while in it, to play different games over a kind of local network. Tunngle imitates connection of different computers into one virtual (pseudo-local) network for joint play. The network applies only to games. Another feature, since this is a local network - anyone can host.

In simple terms, this program makes it possible to play over a local network as if you were playing over the Internet. Thus, players from different parts of the world can play, and neither a registration key for the game nor the presence of additional software is required.

And of course, thanks to Tunngle, you can play Splinter Cell games. Namely:

• Splinter Cell Multiplayer: Pandora Tomorrow (Versus)
• Splinter Cell Co-op: Chaos Theory (Coop)
• Multiplayer Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Versus)
• Multiplayer Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Versus)
• Co-op and multiplayer SC: Conviction (Coop & MP)

It goes without saying that before starting you need to buy a download of the game and completely install it on your computer. I strongly do not recommend installing various repacks and rips, but installing games from the original image. Why? First, repacks can have clumsy files. This causes problems in multiplayer. Secondly, the files required for a network game are often cut from them. In addition, most of the repackaged games cannot be updated, which will come in handy for us. Therefore, I immediately say: the instructions below are not guaranteed to work on cropped or compressed games!

Where can I find the right version? Torrents are full of images from original discs, it only takes a couple of minutes to find the one you want. Many links are given on the Tunngle Russian community forum, use. I'll tell you in confidence that licenses are indicated by the [L] symbol in the torrent title.

So, the point is clear, the game is downloaded and installed. What to do next?

• We go to Tunngle.net and register (do not forget the password and login, yes).
• Downloading the client itself (weighs ~ 4Mb).
• We install the client on our computer.
• We reboot the system.
• We launch the client, enter the username and password, log in.

Did you do the above? That's it, now we are ready. Further, the instruction changes depending on what you are going to play. Let's take everything in order.
