yes i have the most current version of the software
i will not detect battfiled 1 game packets
- If the manual ports aren't working then you have either not selected the correct device or the ports are incorrect. Double check correct device has been selecting by comparing the name/IP in device manager to IP PC is showing and double check ports on the Battlefield site for PC.
- Could it have anything to do with my Ethernet port settings? Previously made some changes. Any settings in particular that could interfere with packet detection?
- Still not working I have tried everything and I am not new to networking. It picks up the Xbox but not the PC for Battlefiled 1
- Could you provide a screenshot of the Traffic Prioritization feature please?
- FYI
For you future trouble shooting I figured it out even though it is not battlefield selected I switched it to PC / game console and it is now picking up the traffic for battlefield ?- That's an alternative solution as the games console service encompasses a very wide range of ports. It'll definitely work that way but may prioritize other traffic from your PC also.
