Manually set firewall rules[18]
Disable all network adapters other than the main Internet connection[19]

Above solution can fix connection problems and also cause the system to show firewall "allow access" alert if you didn't set the firewall rule manually already.

High frame rate issues

The physics and logic of the game are linked to 60 FPS, so playing at high fps can cause problems.
Limit the framerate to 60 FPS[citation needed]

RAW input

Use RInput
  1. Download RInput
  2. Run RInput.exe with the command line argument containing the name of the game's executable (i.e. "...\RInput 1.44\RInput.exe" Blacklist_DX11_game.exe).
Add Blacklist_game.exe instead of Blacklist_DX11_game.exe if the game runs in DirectX 9 mode.

    Disabling other network adapters like Hamachi and Radmin VPN caused the OS to show firewall alert, which didn't happen immediately after game launch as normally supposed to. Previously I played the game on coop few years ago on the same system, and apparently the firewall rule for the game has had been deleted
