Can't join friend's custom games and they can't join mine

Custom Games
1

I am unable to play custom games with my friends. When I join their games I enter the lobby for a few seconds and then I am removed and the same thing happens when they try to join one of my games. Every other blizzard game I own works fine. Any help would be appreciated!

Exactly same problem. Either the other player get’s disconnected almost immediately, and he cannot be added either.

i am have the same. trying to join a game for 20 min now with a friend and we tried all possible combinations (i make the game, he makes and we join a random)… so it looks like it’s on all lobbies.

and this was happening yesterday too…
in the morning today it was kind of better, although now it’s a complete nightmare.

i really hope Blizzard is reading this… they failed really hard since the launch.

TBH I think they should have postponed the release a few more weeks to months instead of releasing such a half-assed product.

I was having the exakt same issue, all I wanted to do, was play a Botgame with a friend of mine.
What happened: I got his invite, or saw the game he opened in the available game list and the second after I joined the game kicked me out of the lobby.
What I noticed: The Map folders where WC3 stores the game maps were douplicated.Meaning two FrozenThrone Folders Two Scenario and two Download. I Saw that when I tried to host a game.
What I did: My friend told me the map he was about to open, I deleted the Map from every mapfolder I found. As soon as i joined the game, WC3 downloaded the map from my friend and I was able to play.
What I assume: I think the reforged installation does no clean overwrite over the old WC3 tft installation files.
for single maps the trick i mentioned worked for me.
I now uninstalled wc3… looked for every single maps folder on my whole computer and deleted it afterwards (there was one in C\Users\My Documents i think…somewhere around there)
In addition to that, WC3 still needs TCP Ports 6112-6119 open to host a game
