Can't seem to fix the 999 ping issue

[Führer]

Well I've tried all the spam worthy ideas like:
Port forwarding (both in-game and through the router settings page; yes also tried portforward.com )
resetting the router
reinstalling the game (even made me confused why I actually did this)

From what you've tried i see that you haven't disabled your anti-virus and firewall yet? that fixes the issue for me. Try it out, it this won't work my apologies, because i have no idea what to do than.

Forgot to mention that as well, doesn't work
obviously because the thomson speedtouch series are random routers

Possibly change it like this:

		< NETWORKPORT2 > 9999 < /NETWORKPORT2 >

My router is a THOMSON SpeedTouch 780

i had the Thompson speedtouch 780v6 and everything has always worked just fine for me, i just googled it for you and some people say that a firmware update could fix it.

Yes, my router needs a weekly update too.

Firmware is up to date so it can't be the problem
