It seems the installer doesn’t make the outbound Windows Firewall Rules for UDP and TCP so you will need to check they are there.
4. Open Control Panel to here
Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Defender Firewall
Look on the left side for this
Once click on the inbound rules on the left side and look for this names
Next double click each one and then the Protocols and Ports Tab and you will see the UDP and TCP for inbound rules
Now we will do the outbound
Most likely they will not be and you will need to add therm for the game to work.
1. Look on the right side for this
Click on it and pick Program
Next we will go here
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Back4BloodBeta\Gobi\Binaries\Win64
and pick this program Back4Blood.exe
Make sure all 3 boxes are check and click next
Next we will name it Back 4 Blood and click next.
Now you will open it and click on Protocols and Ports and make sure UDP is picked.
Now repeat the steps to make another one. This time when you finish and click on it and go to Protocols and Ports make sure TCP is picked and close.
You now have In bound and Outbound rules for the game and have changed the EAC to the correct one. If everything is okay start your game and enjoy.
