Mimsy could u help me with this :)?

If you can remember me I was the guy who had problems with Jedi Academy about year ago.(and you solved my problem<3)

Now I've problems with Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.
I can play its singleplayer but not its multiplayer.

The game has let me into multiplayer only 3 times and I've tried like 9999 times to get in it. It let me play always for 1 map(in time) when map changes it doesn't let me back to server. It always starts loading server lobby screen back and says 'connection to host lost'.(except those 3 times)

I think the problem is in my antivirus program.
I've Symantec Endpoint Protection.
How to allow multiplayer of R6V2 when I have Symantec?

Greetings, XeirA

 

I really don't know a lot about Symantec and its many features and options. You can verify if it is Symantec by simple turning off the real-time protection for a short while, and then try doing the multiplayer. If that works, then you need to figure out how to configure Symantec to allow the game to connect enough to run the multiplayer part.

 

Hello,

It is most likely a firewall rule that is blocking the multiplayer game from running. You need to find out what ports and protocols are required for the game to run, then add a rule to the Endpoint Firewall.

So. What Thomas said. :major

Seriously Thomas, thanks. I was trying to find those links and failing miserably, and I'm happy someone else was able to post them.

 

Thanks Thomas and Mimsy!
I haven't yet solved the problem but I think your advice will help me out.

 

I don't know where or how to open Endpoint Firewall. How to?

 

If this is a centrally managed Endpoint client, your IT admin may need to make the firewall modifications.

If this is an unmanaged client, click on the gold shield in your taskbar. Select options for Network Threat Protection>Configure Firewall rules.

From there you can add, edit, and remove your Firewall rules.

Thomas
