'Strict' problem..

The MP Beta was 'moderate' right from the start but today I installed the full game/hunter ed., then set TCP/UDP both ways rule on the computer (ESET Smart Security 5.xx) firewall.

And just tried to see if it worked with router UPNP like the MP Beta did, but it didn't. So I looked up the game readme for the ports to forward, along with all EA /Origin


Crysis 3 readme:

TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 25650-25780, 17502, 42127, 64100-64110
UDP: 3659, 10000-10100, 25650-25780, 64100-64110

EA/Origin:

TCP ports: 80, 443, 9960-9969, 1024-1124, 18000, 18120, 18060, 27900, 28910, 29900
UDP ports: 1024-1124, 18000, 29900


Rebooted the router (Be Unlimited Broadband: Technicolor TG582n)

But this didn't work either.... which puzzled me.

So for a quick unsecure test I set the router to DMZ for the desktop computer, and re-logged back into MP, and it worked, saying router; Moderate. Found servers no problem.

So with DMZ opening all ports, I know I must have missed some ports, well I assume so.

I disabled DMZ again. And 'Strict'


Can anyone help here? Anyone know of other Crysis 3 / EA ports needed?

I mean I assumed the UPNP would just handle it just like the MP Beta did which worked perfect from the first login.

Any help?
