EpicFishFingers Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 EDIT: I GOT IT WORKING! And I wrote a guide, which I'll work to update as needed. Link here! Okay so I was following this guide It said to make my own server, do this: Go to your Library and then select "Tools".Scroll until you see "Project Zomboid Dedicated Server" and download/install it like you would with a game.Once downloaded, you start it. So, now I have it here as Picture 1 Now I open PZ and press "Online", and enter the info I want for my server as seen here in Picture 2 Notice it failed. So, how do I make PICTURE 1 work with PICTURE 2? Right now I can't even join my own server? Is the "add a server" window seen in Picture 2 used to Create a server, or to call up an existing one? Help, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyPickins Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Your server is Steam-enabled (it says so in the console), but your client is not Steam-enabled (it doesn't have the extra Local IP field in the server browser and won't say "Steam" next to the version number in the main screen). You probably added -nosteam into the Launch options for the game which disables Steam on the client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooflockey Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I've also followed the tutorial but am also having no luck. I just got this gamy for me and my brother and it would really be a shame to have to settle for a public server we can barely connect to. Anyway, here's my issue... I forwarded ports 8766 and 16261 with the TCP/UDP protocols on my router's IP (the same thing I type in to get to the page to forward the ports). I'm confused because I also have a LAN IP (IPv4?) that is just one digit different than my router's IP. Then I have a third, totally different IP, which is my Public IP address. I'm just really confused on what to do and would like to get some assistance to get a server running, and if at all possible if I could change some of the settings. (Like sandbox settings) Any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured out how to create my own server, and wrote a guide on reddit on how to do it. Link here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooflockey Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Oh my god it worked. The only different thing I did was the Hamachi step. I don't know if I forwarded ports wrong or what, but thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
