ENT Gaming

I know there's something about being disconnected in the start of a game in FAQ, but it doesn't accurately cover this;

I'm disconnected in the start of EVERY ENT game I join. Every single one. I've asked those in-game via whispers, and there seems to be no specific message from the bot about why I'm disconnected. I'm not in the banlist from what I can see, so I'm quite puzzled...

Sorry if I've missed something obvious here.

Are you running the 1.26 patch? Have you made sure that any third party programs such as map hacks, fog click detector hacks, mana bars hacks, aim bot hacks, and custom kick hacks that interfere with Warcraft III's memory / operation are completely disabled?

I'm running the 1.26.0.6401 patch, never touched any kind of hacks for Warcraft III. Everything worked fine until tonight. I think I even played a game earlier today.

Edit: Rechecked today, problem is still there. I noticed something though; it gave me a warning about desync or something before it disconnected me. Do I have to use ENT Connect or something? I usually don't have problems with being disconnected and/or having high latency, so I've not really given that too much thought until now.

It just started recently? What have you done on your computer recently? Downloaded any new programs or updates that might have broke it?

Nothing big. That's why I'm so confused.

I haven't installed and/or downloaded anything recently, only used my PC for the normal stuff. Everything else still works.

And it's just ENT bots? You can play other bots games just fine and play?

Aye.

That is odd that you can play other bots except ENT bots. Another question I have, are you using personal internet or a college/university/public internet?

My only thought is that if you are using a non-personal internet that maybe that entity has started blocking the ports that ENT hosts to. Normally you just can't get in the game at all if this is the issue, however maybe some port/authority issue is preventing you from joining.

Another thought I have is that maybe your firewall/router is blocking the connection somehow. Were there any changes to your firewall/router settings in the last day or so that you know of? (or parental blocks, etc.)

I'm personally in control of the router, and no changes there. I strongly doubt there's anything happening with the ports.

It seems I'm able to join the Castle Fight 1v1 games on ENT, but nothing else by ENT. That's even more weird o.O

Confirmed: I can only play Castle Fight games with ENT.

@uakf.b Is there anything different about ENT65 from the other bots?

No, not other than the fact that it's hosting on port 6065.

If you play castle fight you need to restart warcraft 3 before playing any other map, otherwise you'll DC.
