Netplay gives error over WAN saying "failed to receive header from client"
-
Hi,
My Retropie (build 4.3 running RetroArch 1.7.3) rejects connections from Netplay over the internet from Windows and Pi builds of RetroArch. The client connects, says content matches, and then the message that the client always gets is "Netplay failed, failed to receive header from client". I am also unable to connect to hosts on my Pi. I have tried multiple games on different emulators and different internet connections (my hardlined internet and my mobile hotspot), tried to connect to friends at other houses, and have made sure my port is forwarded to the ip of my Pi. I have tried fresh installs of retropie and tried a Recalbox build and get the same error. I have used Ethernet and WIFI and get the same error. I am able to do netplay locally over my LAN with no issues between my windows 10 machine and my Pi. I have tried the server connection for Netplay and direct connect and it still wont work. I am able to play Netplay with friends using my Windows machine and RetroArch on the same network as my Pi. It's some sort of handshake issue and like i've said I've tried two different ISPs and bypassed my router, so I'm thinking its an issue with my Pi. Any help would be appreciated. -
