Shrooblord Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Hey guys, This question must have been asked a thousand times before... Trying to create a server so I can test my multiplayer mods on it, and I'm running into issues. I'm on Windows, and followed all the Wiki steps. I forwarded the correct ports (27000 - UDP & TCP; 27003 - UDP; 27020 - UDP; 27021 - UDP -- and even tried forwarding all of them on both TCP and UDP), poked holes in my Firewall, set listed=true in the server.ini. Tried the --use-steam-networking 1 command line argument as well. I can see it on the public server list if I log onto the game on the same machine it's running on, but can't see it if I log onto the game (on another Steam account) on a different computer. If I try to direct connect through IP, it says the server is unreachable. I do not have Antivirus blocking me or anything else, and I'm not running through a VPN. I've pretty much exhausted all Google search results and I'm a bit at a loss. Any ideas? Thanks a lot, Shrooblord Edited November 12, 2020 by Shrooblord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrooblord Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 I have since figured out that I was putting in the wrong IP for direct IP connect. That now works. The server still doesn't display on the public server list, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrooblord Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hey there, just to follow up on this: after a suggestion by Ravenis on Discord, I've managed to get it working. The solution was to add the --public 1 --listed 1 arguments to the startup script. I would like to add how weird it is that the INI file had these arguments set to true already, and the CMD prompt and server log read-outs all said that "yes, we are public and listed", yet it appears to be lying about that unless you also specify it in the startup script itself. A little arcane. But I have a working server now. Hope this helps someone else along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
