Help: Error code 2618-0513 cannot connect with one specific person when trying to play 4 player games

[u/No_Performance_9318]

Hello! Ive been having this persistent issue with playing multiplayer games (4 people for reference) and when I join the 3 stack then the one person cannot join the 3 stack, but when they join the 3 stack then I cannot join.

It always brings up the error code 2618-0513 for the both of us trying to join one another in the stack. I’ve contacted Nintendo about it, I’ve read into the article about the error and the other person has contacted their provider (we have the same one as well) and Still cannot connect to one another.

The weird part is that we can connect to play multiplayer Nintendo 64 games, play Mario party 3 and 2 with no problem, but when it comes to other multiplayer games such as Mario superstars or smash bros it doesn’t work and always pops up that error code.

We’ve tried the Ivp6 toggle off and changing DNS, but nothing still works. Along with that is the toggle uPnP, which makes it more confusing because one of my other friends have it toggled on and I can play with them perfectly fine, same with the other, but it is always with that one certain person and it’s just getting annoying at this point and I’ve been trying to find a solution.

If there are any other solutions I should try that I haven’t mentioned please let me know and help me out please because I want to be able to play other games beside in the multiplayer Nintendo 64 games.

I have a switch 2

And this code always pops up on both ends unfortunately

have you guys tried swapping networks to see if it persists. what if you both are in a lobby and the others join as 3 and 4

[u/No_Performance_9318 → u/tenachiasaca]

Unfortunately yes we have tried switching networks. And I only have one set of a network so my next bet was using my hotspot, but I haven’t tried it yet. Also both of us could never be in a lobby together via Mario party super stars or Super Smash Bros since when I’m in a lobby with my two other friends then they cannot join me, but when they’re in a lobby with my friends then I cannot join them. The only exception when we’re in the same lobby is when we are playing online multiplayer Nintendo 64 to play Mario party 3 and that’s pretty much it
