Do you maybe have some GeoBlocking rules in your Firewall in place?

Just tested this. People outside my network were able to connect. As far as I know there are no geoblocking rules.

I can only think of something that's preventing the Playfab server connecting to your server, because that's the only thing I can imagine going wrong.

OK, no problem and thanks for your hard work with me.

 

Interestingly, I am having a similar problem to @DIgitalOSH. 

with -crossplay param removed steam users outside my network can access the server no issue (both IP and hostname resolution work). However when I enable -crossplay I see initial connection, then constant reconnects.

These messages are a bit strange since it says that it's connected but a few seconds afterwards the connection is lost and it tries to reconnect which never seems to work.

 

@DIgitalOSH & @Biost0rm: have both of you yet tried to use another container? It seems rather strange that it is working fine for me (and you can also connect through your Xbox) but not for you. I can only think of an issue that the PlayFab server can't connect to your server?

Have you done some NAT port mapping where the ports are different than 2456-2458 on your WAN (please keep in mind that the ports have to be the same on the WAN too)?

No geo blocking in place. Port mapping at my router is 1:1 mapping with open ports on the container as well (confirmed via external portscan of public IP). 

The oddest thing here is that removing -crossplay works entirely fine for steam users outside my network and for users inside my network. 

 

I even deleted the entire container last night and re-created it, same issue is happening. 

Switched game port to new port (2457) and same issue.

I can create a game server for you and you can look if you can connect.

 

My suspicion is that your ISP or something else is blocking inbound traffic from PlayFab.

I really don't have much other guesses, I even now tried it with a buddy playing on a Xbox and me playing on my PC without a problem.

Thanks for the offer.

I did a bit more troubleshooting and discovered this likely was NAT in the end. What I discovered is if I move the valheim docker off my custom docker network to use host networking (or custom docker that shares the host IP range) that PlayFab was able to stay connected.

This is really strange, I don't have to change anything and the container is running just fine in bridge mode.

 

Anyways, I don't know your network topology but I'm glad to hear that it's now solved and working for you.

Quick question I couldn't find via search, for the Ark Survival Evolved server do I need to forward all four of the ports? Defaulted to 7777, 7778, 27015, 27020? 

I am stuck at this section here in the log:

 

Connecting anonymously to Steam Public...OK
Waiting for client config...OK
Waiting for user info...OK
Success! App '376030' already up to date.
---Prepare Server---
---Server ready---
---Start Server---
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.
Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 346110

And I'm not seeing the server in the list.

Have you yet tried to query it in the Steam Server Browser (View -> Servers -> Server Browser -> Favorites -> Add Server -> Enter the IP:27015 -> Add -> Refresh -> Refresh).

Yes, with the appropriate protocol.

You usually don't need to forward the RCON port and I also engurage you to not do it (RCON is completely unencrypted).

I'm having trouble connecting to the Satisfactory server that I have running. I can get the server to show up in Server Manager of the game, but whenever I try to connect I get this error. I've searched high and low but haven't found a solution that works.

 

I did add these two lines to the Engine.ini file based on feedback I found in other forums but still no luck...any ideas or anyone else have the same issue they were able to resolve?

InitialConnectTimeout=180.0
ConnectionTimeout=120.0

Are you trying to connect with your public IP or your local IP?

 

Are you sure the correct ports with the appropriate protocol are forwarded in your Firewall?

Have you yet tried if you can connect with your local IP?

I'm trying to access via public IP. The ports I found to forward I set up below. I just tried to access via local IP and no issue. Could it be a speed issue?

Why do you forward that many ports?

That is definitely wrong...

The only ports which need to be forwarded are the ones listed in the container template:

7777/UDP

15777/UDP

15000/UDP

 

You don't need any other ports.

 

I assume you are trying to connect to your public IP from you LAN correct? If yes, I had people where the hair pin NAT doesn't work correctly and therefore they weren't able to connect through the public IP from their LAN but from outside their LAN it was working fine.

 

It could also be a issue with your ISP that it blocks some ports <- some provider are doing that but this is a really rare case.

I've been so focused on public connection that I didn't try to connect via my local IP (thanks for the suggestion!). Seems like doing that and having it save is now letting me connect via public IP. Must be something with my connection speed and the size of the initial save....that's all I can figure.

I had found those on some other forums to forward. I'll adjust them though..rather have the absolute minimum # of ports forwarded.

That's definitely not the case... Some routers need to be restarted some times.

Please delete the forwarding of the other ports, this is a security risk!!!
I always provide the necessary ports in my templates and you never need to forward more ports, even if other sites suggests that.

Otherwise I won't release the containers to the public.

 

Another side note even if you forward these ports they point to nothing (but it's still a security risk) because if they are not forwarded in the template they can't be reached anyways.

 

Please trust me on that, I do my research on that and test every single container before releasing it.

Thanks for the help. I just fixed the ports and limited to what's in the container.

First thanks for the Valhiem Server, once I figured out the port forwarding everything worked perfect. However I cannot seem to get mods to work. I have enabled BepInEx for Valheim, loaded the mods into the plugin folder in appdata, I see the mod gets installed but no change when I log in. Do I have to manually enable BepInEx somewhere else, am I missing something else?? I can customize the mod (once installed) but doesn't change anything. Does BepinEx not work if crossplay is enabled?

I don‘t think that anything else than the vanilla server will actually work to ensure crossplay is working.

 

Have you yet tried to disable crossplay and connect to the server with a PC client and BepInEx installed and enabled? Please remember most mods are client side only and if you have some server mods installed the client needs them too or at least BepInEx installed.

 

Please also keep in mind that modding is always up to the user and in general I can‘t give support for mods because I simply can‘t know how every mod is working.

Did you change your game client to the beta branch?

What is exactly not working, do you have at least a log or something like that?

I have made a dedicated DayZ in windows before but as a docker I am lost! Beta Branch? I have some fields filled in in docker but many not filled in. Especially in the more settings.
