Summary
I work as an IT administrator for a community college and we have a game design course utilizing Unreal Editor for Fortnite. However, when the instructor and students attempt to Launch the game session, the validation fails. This happens across multiple computers and multiple accounts.
I’m confident that our firewall is the cause. However, we are having a hard time tracking down what ports and protocols need to be allowed. We cannot blanket allow these systems all access and need to be specific. We are investigating the blocked traffic but are having a hard time identifying whats being blocked.
Can someone provide the network requirements for UEFN? If QUIC is blocked, does UEFN fall back to another protocol? What ports are used?
In the output log, there is an error when connecting for what I assume is validation. It reads:
LogVkScratchRepository: Warning:
