@Moonraker I'm not positive on this but could people having trouble connecting use the Network Utility /Port Scan on their router IP to determine if it is open or closed?

Since I am currently using my iPhone as a hot spot I can't test this

Quite possibly. I use;

Activity Monitor > select the ZeniMax Online Studios Launcher process and click the 'i' button above to open the process window > Open Files and Ports

Then just check down the open ports & IP addresses.

Just the way I do it as I tend to have AM open most of the time. I had some Terminal commands but can't find them right now.

It is using several as it has the newsfeed etc. on the Launcher window. You would need to check it while downloading to see what ports it uses then.

So for me with it just launched and idle I see:

192.168.1.10:57715->ec2-54-243-115-56.compute-1.amazonaws.com:http
192.168.1.10:57927->server-54-239-158-239.cdg51.r.cloudfront.net:http

192.168.1.10:57936->a23-200-86-217.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com:http

So a different port range from the game to the download sites. And not helped directly by the ports they state for the actual game. I did make a ticket but received nothing back on it other than copy/ paste of ports I sent them ^^

@Zelus Do you by chance use a cellular connection?

I believe the Launcher install uses other ports but I can’t find any reference for those.

I noticed that it had a couple of connections open where it was talking to port 80 on the server. At the time it was downloading game updates.

Treat it like a web browser would be my first guess.

I have a question for you guys...I am not a network kinda guy...but from 8/9pm my time till nearly 11:30pm the game becomes unplayable because of LAG..litterally 10 seconds of lag...every night since the early launch...but at any other time during the day I have no lag(or usual lag). Is there anything I can do on my end to fix this problem please send me a message its pretty damn annoying

It could be your ISP throttling down/up speeds at their peak times.
