logs.zip Does this work?

In that case, can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?

Guys, I am not able to set up a dedicated server. Whenever I run dedicated server and try to join via my public IP, it says failed to connect. Also it says server is not responding. I never struggled this much trying to set up a dedicated server in any game, just so I can play public with random people and with my choice of mods. I am not interested in inviting people via steam, all i want is to host a server for 16 ppl and play may type of game, but all PZ gives me is frustration. I've read every single guide (even the outdated ones) and watched every tutorial on youtube. none of it worked and I am not the only one here.   I've tried everything like: - Port forwarding in router+modem combo (192.168.1.1), ports forwarded: 16261 UDP and 16262 UDP (even with TCP) for every devices I have, I've also tried older ports, but those are not used anymore. - I forwarded both UDP ports (incoming and outbound) in Windows firewall as well.  - I added exceptions for PZ game and PZ dedicated batch file on windows anti virus - I disabled UPnP (universal plug and play) in router, disabled it in map .ini setting as well.  - Tried to enable Upnp in router and inside ini setting. - tried to use static IP instead of DHCP - disable DMZ - restarted router countless times - set PZ and dedicated server beta setting to none - deleted old saves - asked my ISP if ports are closed, but they said it should be fine - checked my port on some websites, it says it is closed - I created a custom map via host game and added -servername in the batch file - I tried to use cable instead of wifi - I reinstalled game - I tried the steamCMD method, didnt work, and removed it - I then downloaded the dedicated server on steam, did not work either - unchecked steam relay in-game   can someone help me with this?   pls INDIE STONE, make hosting a public game easier!!! this reminds me of hosting game back in 2004 like Warcraft 3 etc.

Yes, it has mods and yes, I have tried other modded servers and the same thing happens.

Fellow, you popped up, lectured us on programming and game design, and yet you've been unable to find a way to do any of this yourself in a few weeks now? You're a programmer or someone with programming experience. This shouldn't be a problem.   You're not going to get anywhere being so dependent and I'm not your Mom. Java -is not remotely- hard to decompile, repair, and rebuild even back when it was just AndroChef ( that program produced terribly broken code; that's  how I got started modding PZ. Really, why are you  trying to tell me the basics of what I learned the hard way and just worked through myself a decade ago? Get on with it. You can do this. ) let alone now that you can do it in an IDE, 13 years later.   Google how to do thIngs. If you get stuck, identify your weaknesses and fix them before asking others to do it for you or trying to argue. Seek out others who are actually interested in this sort of thing -- I'm not it.   I'm out.
