RO2 *HELP* Can't connect to a server

I know there are other threads with router problems, I've read them all, but nothing seems to work!

For the last 3 days, I've been trying to connect to any of 40-1 servers in both ranked and unranked tabs, but here are the results:

  • I can't find any of them in both server lists.
  • Cannot connect via open ip (endless 'Connecting...' screen).
  • Cannot connect via friend invite.
Heres everything I tried:

  • Restarted pc.
  • Restarted Steam.
  • Changed Steam download region location.
  • Completely reinstalled RO2.
  • Updated RO2 pb to latest version.
  • Disabled the firewall.
  • Disabled AV.
  • Forwarded router ports.
  • Resetted the router.
  • Updated router firmware to latest version.
  • Disabled router firewall.
  • The admin restarted the server for me.
As you can see, I'm getting quite desperate. All other RO2 servers work just fine. And about one and a half week ago I could connect to the 40-1 Classic server, which is now the IOH test server that I'm trying to connect to. The server ip is: 81.19.216.12:7817

Any help would be really appreciated, as I'm all out of ideas. :/

*EDIT* I forgot to mention that my router is an Asus RT-N53 wireless router (cable connected to PC).
*EDIT 2* Before any one mentions filters - they were reset.

I have the same problems here, when i am trying to join a server it will time out or crash after 10 minutes...

After returning to the desktop i have noticed that my whole internet connection is down and i have to reset it to get it work again. I think i have already mentioned that in another thread but never heard anything.

Things i have done so far: turning down the firewall, deleting my RO2 folder, verifying.

In any local security software you run have you tried removing the game from the allowed/ignore list and then re-adding it?
I'm running NOD32 and I never added my games/Steam to exclusion. I tried adding it now but it still won't work. Never had issues with the anti-virus I guess... Disabling it didn't help either.

Since I have a modem connected to the wireless router which is also connected to my pc, I tried to connect my modem directly with my PC, still nothing.

P.S. My modem was provided by my internet provider, so I can't change it at all and my wireless router is only there to provide me with wireless access.

I think I'm about the only person that is having issues connecting to the server as no one is having similar issues.

The logs show nothing of value just this one line:

May 21 17:31:57 kernel: nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet.

Could it be that the latest patches did this? I don't believe I tried joining the 40-1 server after the April 21st update (as I was taking a break) and I'm sure it worked before that...

I really need to solve this problem. :(

It could be related - my browser is showing -1 players and has 40 servers filtered out ( filters reset ). Im guessing I wouldnt be able to join any of these 40 servers. Schnitzel also has some servers filtered.

-1 players or 12345789 players indicates that the games internet connections are being filtered or blocked in some way.
