Call Of Duty Ghosts

[Surfrat 0]

I have installed Call Of Duty Ghosts about 6 weeks ago. I have created exceptions in the firewall for steam and the single and multiplayer exe's. All ran smoothly until about 2 weeks ago after a game patch.

 

If the Eset firewall is running then Ghosts would crash\freeze so badly I would be forced to reboot my machine. The only way to run the game was to do so with the firewall disabled.

 

I would like to run the game with the firewall enabled. I have tried disabling Hips etc.

 

Can you please suggest a solution to my problem.

 

Thanks

Does switching the firewall to learning mode make a difference?

I tried with learning mode enable. The same result. I run in interactive mode.

 

I see someone else has the identical problem....

To answer what was asked in the other thread...

 

- empty the firewall log *** How will this help?

- enable logging of blocked communications in the IDS setup -> Troubleshooting  *** I tried this and there is nothing I could find that is related

- reproduce the issue  *** Very easy. FW enabled run either SP or MP... Bam crash!

- post the firewall log records here **** See above...
