hey guys ...
so my question is , why would i need to open ports to be able to play the game ? Isnt playing the game and having no difficulty entering the game or having no latency is something that suppose to be in the first place ?
Its like me selling shoes to a costumer and telling him that if he want something to tie hes shoes with he needs to make them by himself...
As a big company like Bethesda or Zenimax , being able to enter the game without any problems is a basic thing !
Why would i risk my computer by making ports ? When did playing a game became so problematic ?

the only game that im having problems with is TESO...
i contacted their support and they gave me a bunch of solutions but nothing worked out ..
the only solution that is left is for me to open ports ...
and if i will open ports it will let hackers have easier access to my computer ...
i really just want to play this game and thats it ...2 -

That's not how hacking works.the only solution that is left is for me to open ports ...

You only need to open ports for outgoing traffic, the ESO client will initiate the connection from your PC.
There's no need to open any ports for incoming traffic ...

And most of the time, with most residential quality internet connections, you don't have to open any ports at all. They are already open.1 -

That is correct but apparently the OP has closed most outgoing ports as well in his/her firewall settings, otherwise ESO would be working just fine out of the box.lordrichter wrote: »And most of the time, with most residential quality internet connections, you don't have to open any ports at all.

✭✭✭✭Um, OP, maybe you could describe what system you are running and someone here might be able to help you out.Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis0 -

Hopefully, such things are intentional, and needed. I can remember blocking ports, in the past, but it was mainly to get my evil spawn to stop playing Dota and do their chores. Since I enrolled them in military school, this has not been necessary.

✭✭✭✭✭Port Triggering (as opposed to Port Forwarding which requires Static IPs and more involved set up) is not opening your machine to hackers. It just allows the ports that are used by the game to be enabled as long as traffic is initiated by your machine on those ports. In other words, it won't listen on those ports unless it talked on those ports.
It helps some people, for others it does not matter. However if you have a Firewall Function on your router, it would help to have the ports for the online games active as a step in troubleshooting lag and performance issues.
What can really get in the way, and this should not apply to a console, is when you have a Firewall on your Router, and, you are running Windows Firewall. Pick one and run that.
Which begs the question, you are running a wired connection to game with? Right?Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

You have to configure it for server software, that is stuff who accept random incoming connections.Ports?
You running windows '95?
I haven't configured ports in over 20 years.
Probably for many P2P multiplayer games however they will ask for firewall to open.
My guess is paranoid router setup.
Grinding just make you go in circles.

TCP / UDP Ports 24500 through 24507
TCP / UDP Ports 24300 through 24331
TCP Port 80 through 80

✭✭✭✭✭Google the Make and Model of your Router and the term "Port Triggering" and you will get instructions on how to do this.
On my Router, I don't have IP's just port ranges to allow.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

UberTester✭✭In my experience it typically requires a level of configuration in order to prevent much outbound traffic, and hence prevent ESO (and other games) from working. Lots more info about the actual issue required, I think!0 -
