I have v5.9, faster melee, and everything like that. But, whenever I try using the traversal server to connect to others on netplay, it says "Failed to Connect". This also happens to people who try to connect to me. Any ideas as to why this problem has happened to me? Or ways to fix it?

I used to have the same issue with my old router. I was only able to connect using direct connection, but that worked quite well.
I got a new router about 2 months ago and since then I've been playing using the traversal server just fine. I'm not sure whether you have the same issue, but it might be worth a shot to ask your internet provider about a new modem/router if you can get them to change it for free.

Edit: note that I got a different router model. I got to know a few people on netplay with the same router model that had the same issue. So my router wasn't faulty, I think there's some security setting on there that didn't let me connect to the traversal server and I didn't find a way to change that setting.

Thank you SO much, I've asked a lot more people and nobody knew the solution.
