Hello thank you for reading. for 3 days now I have tried these forums, support(5 times), their twitter and everywhere i could possibly think of for help getting this app working.

I am using PC

I am using an android phone

I have set all firewall settings for Fallout 4 to allow.

it sees my Ip address

whenever I try to connect it simply shows me "Connection Error"

please can someone help me fix this!?

bumping this as many times as it takes to get help

Something is blocking the connection, either on the android phone, the network itself, or your computer. Since the firewall rules on the computer are probably OK, my guess is that your wireless router is preventing the connection or the phone for some reason.

When I set it up, I had to exit the game after turning the function on in the game settings. When I restarted the game, Android connected, no problem. The fact that you see the address to connect to means that the phone is receiving something from the PC at least.

Ok but then HOW do i fix this?

The problem is, you need to find out where the block is occurring. I don't know how hard it would be to check your phone. I don't know what kind of network you have in your home. You can probably logon to your router and check for any kind of partitioning or vlan separation. For example, if your phone is connected to a "guest" network, it might have limited or no access to the network your PC is connected to. If your phone is somehow blocking the connection, I'm not sure how you would find out how or where. It would be highly dependent on the phone model and Android settings/version. I have Android, and I have not seen anything like the phone blocking network traffic.

If your phone and your computer are in the same network (e.g. phone = 10.1.1.5 and PC = 10.1.1. 22) , I can't imagine any kind of port blocking occurring.
