Thanks for responding! So i'm brand spankin' new to port forwarding, and I'm sure now that the issue lies, like you said, in the assignment of the ports. I have currently a 2x2 grid where I had assigned each square a Port/Game Port and a Seamless port that fit the parameters of the game. Each grid square has a different set of ports, and also the .bat file has two more. so the total ports should be 10 if i'm correct? Or were the Query Port and Port supposed to be different ports which would bring the total to 14?
