How to play co-op on a local network, via the Internet. Splinter Cell Blacklist Multiplayer Connection Issues Splinter Cell Blacklist LAN

I'm having trouble 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 software like 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 advice 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 made through the list of exclusions (may be named differently, depending on your software). When adding a game as an exception, be sure 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 out free resources such as Port Forward for hints. Please note that this site is not affiliated with Ubisoft.

Background applications
You may also encounter problems caused by applications running in the background on your computer. When playing Ubisoft games, please 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

Disable 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 on any specific restrictions placed on the previously mentioned network ports.

The problem is not solved?
If, after following these steps, the problems remain, please contact, stating Full description Your problem, including the error messages you received.

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 cell but 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 delivers 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 playing together... The network applies only to games. Another feature, since it is the local network- anyone can host.

In simple terms, then 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)
  • Splinter Cell Multiplayer: Double agent(Versus)
  • Co-op and multiplayer SC: Conviction (Coop & MP)

It goes without saying that before you start 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 required for network game files. In addition, most repackaged games cannot be updated, which is oh, how useful it is 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).
  • Download 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 talk about everything in order.

Splinter Cell: Conviction (Coop)

Stylish, trendy, youth co-op Splinter Cell: Conviction. One of the players plays as a Third Echelon agent named Arhcer (Archer), the other - as an operative of the Raven organization named Kestrel (Kestrel).

  • First of all, you need to patch (to v1.04) and fix (SKIDROW crack) the game, as well as install the DLC. Everyone is here: (

Preparing to launch:
1. Create Uplay account - Registration!
2. Download the game Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction versions 1.04 .
During the installation of the game and the fix, it is advisable to disable the antivirus (especially NOD 32) in order to avoid false positives and deletion of key files. And then add the game folder to the list of exceptions.
3. Download and install the network fix to the game folder.
Extract all files and folders inside the archive to the game folder with replacement.
3.1. Optionally download DLC Insurgency, this will add several new maps (4-5) and full co-op missions, as well as a mode Last Stand.
The archive already contains all the necessary files for a free network launch, link to Additional by.
4. Open with notepad " ... game folder \ src \ system \ skidrow.ini"and in a line User name we introduce a real Uplay login, but in a line password enter the password specified during registration.
5. Find the file called " Hosts» (« C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Drivers \ etc \"), Open it with notepad and check if there are any links and IP connected with Ubisoft(if there is, then execute them by deleting, otherwise it will crash)
6. In the file Conviction.ini (scr / system) you need in the line LOG_NETWORK_USAGE put true instead of false.
7. Download or, if you are going to play on the Internet.

Launching the game:
1. Run or and enter the room with the players Splinter Cell: Conviction... You don't need to do this to play on a real LAN.
2. Start the game from the shortcut on the desktop (via the file ... \ src \ system \ Conviction_game.exe) as administrator.
Important: The first time you start, you will probably see a message about the game being blocked by the Firewall, be sure to click "allow access". (You will have to minimize the game on Alt + Tab to see this message).
If there was no such message or you missed, then go to the control panel and turn off the firewall, or add the game to the exceptions.

In Game:
Connection:
Multiplayer -> Local Area Network (LAN) Play -> Search the server you want in the list and connect.

Server creation:
1. It is imperative to open the port: 11155 , without this it will be impossible to connect to it or it will not be visible at all.
You can check the availability of ports for openness with the program Simple Port Tester.
2. In the game: Multiplayer game -> Local area network (LAN) game -> Create -> Set the settings and wait / invite the second player.

Notes (edit):

  • DLC is optional to download, just if you want a new one.
  • If it does not find servers, then make sure that you went into a room where there are many players and there are definitely games created. In addition, allow access to the game in the antivirus / firewall or disable them completely for the duration of the game. And if even this does not help, then manually open ports 9103, 9100, 10196 and 11155. In other cases, you most likely have a "gray ip" and you need to contact your provider to clarify this.
  • The "newest" OS assembly "beast of expi 1999" can still interfere with a lot of problems and bugs, as well as vulnerabilities for viruses.
  • If you downloaded the game not from our torrent, but from another, then make sure that multiplayer is not cut there (as well as almost everywhere), and there is also a version 1.04 .
  • A post for those who are not helped by Hamachi or Open VPN to create a local network between two players, as well as for those who do not use licensed version games. In particular, when the network is installed, but you do not see each other in the game.
