kyrottimus Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I cannot get my linux dedicated server (using SteamCMD) to become reachable in the "Search by IP" function. tried this: http://avorion.gamepedia.com/Setting_up_a_server#Starting_the_server_.28Linux.29 I've searched and searched. Found these links: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/1271 http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,973.0.html I've tried the -app_update 565060 -beta beta validate thing in SteamCMD, I've tried to manually declare ports in command line (such as ./server.sh --port 27000 --query-port 27003...etc.), --use-steam-networking 1 I've forwarded all ports (27000 TCP/UDP, 27003 UDP, 27020 TCP/UDP, 27021 TCP/UDP) on my router and in the gufw firewall...I even tried disabling the firewall to see if it was a port. Did linux terminal command: netstat -tulpn while server was running and 27003,27020,27021 were posting udp but nothing at 27000. Is the server failing to post 27000? Game does NOT show up in my LAN search, but if I go to search by IP and punch in the manual internal IP of the hosting machine (192.168.1.2) it posts and is reachable (from within the network) there. I'm still getting this error in my server startup terminal messages (don't know what it means): [s_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed. Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 445220 Game Port: 27000 Steam Port: 27021 Steam Query Port: 27020 Polling Port: 27003 I'm not new at this, I've been using SteamCMD for my insurgency server for over a year now on Linux, never had issues with ports like this or the server not posting.

kyrottimus Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Also, update...this is happening too: https://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php?topic=1470.0 I can get it to bind to 27000 port and 27003 if I disable steam networking and turn off authentication and listing...but the server still is showing up as red (i.e. unreachable) to me if I enter the external ip the Multiplayer: Join by IP window.

kyrottimus Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Also, update...this is happening too: https://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php?topic=1470.0 I can get it to bind to 27000 port and 27003 if I disable steam networking and turn off authentication and listing...but the server still is showing up as red (i.e. unreachable) to me if I enter the external ip the Multiplayer: Join by IP window. I'll keep posting here as I discover more about what's going on. Outcome A: So, when I disable steam networking and turn off authentication and listing, ports 27000 and 27003 (via netstat -tulpn command) are active while 27020 and 27021 are not. Outcome B: With steam networking/authentication active, ports 27003, 27020 and 27021 are active and 27000 is not. In NEITHER case can anybody join my server the proper way. I've only tested Outcome B with having a friend join my game after I've joined via the local IP (which is posting in the Multiplayer: Join IP field using the local IP number). When I get home from work, I will have a friend try to join my game from me in it via steam while server is in Outcome A scenario. I doubt it will since the steam ports aren't functioning in that setup. I want to leave the server up so friends can come and go as they please, and not require my presence in the game to join (obviously). The fact that they can join illustrates (I think) the way the server routes or allocates the ports. When I get home from work I'll do a ./server.sh --port 27000 -t network and dump the traced network log into here, to hopefully have someone look it over and help me figure out wth is going on. For the record, I have entered app_update 565060 -beta beta validate while logged into SteamCMD as anonymous as two days ago and again yesterday so the server is as up-to-date as I am aware.

Again, friends can join via steam if I'm already in the game (joining via Multiplayer: Join IP menu using localhost IP, NOT the external IP), and either invite them or they select "join game" from my steam friend window. I'm seeing a lot of port 12345 in those logs, I assumed that it was the server to test-send/receive packets. There has got to be something preventing this from posting to the external IP. I know it's not my firewall, I've added all exceptions to it and even tried disabling it. I know it's not my router, as I've forwarded all correct ports (at least with the KNOWN required ports of 27000TCP/UDP, 27003UDP, 27020TCP/UDP and 27021TCP/UDP). If a friend can join using steam, there has to be a way in. It is possible for them to join from an external IP, but they to use the steam protocols to piggy-back off of my current game. Maybe someone knows of a workaround to allow for friends to join (using Steam) while I'm not in the server? There has to be some kind of a solution. I know from my extensive searching that this was a problem with the Avorion Dedicated server before and that at one point (not too long ago) an update fixed it for most. Maybe it got reintroduced? Maybe I'm missing something. I would really appreciate some help as I love the hell out of this game, and have already bought two copies, one for myself and my friend and have gotten several others to buy it. I love supporting developers with this kind of EA structure and overall game design (and those who support Linux right out of the gate). I realize Koonschi is VERY busy (epic busy), but if someone else out there has been down this road (recently; on this current dedicated server beta version) and have figured it out, I would immensely appreciate any help you might have in this matter. I've used the search command, poured over every post I could, googled the hell out of this, tried any variation I can think of or am aware of in the server settings/start commands to make this work and I'm starting to think the server and/or steam have some kind of port conflict, or some kind of port/socket failure within the server itself. Or I could have just screwed something up that I haven't thought of or am missing. Please, is there anybody out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyrottimus Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 I fixed it: I was in the router. Netgear WNR2000. I was right, ports were forwarded correctly. BUT, apparently there were other conflicts. Things I did to make it WORK: *Same Ports were forwarded on two different computers: First listing will nullify second, delete first listing if 2nd is desired. *turned off UPnP *in WAN setup, I unchecked "Default DMZ Server" (which grayed out the local IP of the computer in question I had assigned for an earlier dedicated server) *Made sure Disable IGMP Proxying was Checked *Made sure Disable SIP ALG was unchecked *NAT Filtering was set to "Secure" *MTU Size was at 1500 (default) *in QoS Setup, made sure "Turn Internet Access QoS On" was checked *"Enable Upstream QoS" was checked, uplink bandwidth was set to www.speedtest.net average upload speed (I rounded down) *Added QoS priority ruling for the port-range in question (27000-27021) and gave it highest *Make sure my server.sh file had the command --port 2700 *made sure in both server.sh and server.ini files had outlined that my server was Listed, Public, useSteam but NOT steam authenticated Whew, took me the better part of a week (around a busy work schedule) to mess with this, turns out this dedicated server and my router did not get along. I don't get it how scrds_ins (insurgency server) seemed to work fine, opened the ports as needed, scrds_ins don't care, scrds_ins didn't give a s%#$. SO yes, Avorion dedicated server is a might bit picky, but I think I satiated her needs. It works, hallelujah. :-X thanks for everyone's help..... (honestly, I only hope this thread can help someone with the same issues I had). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
