FTR Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Public=true PublicName=testserv PublicDescription= Despite of that, server is not even attempting to appear on public list cmd logs I tried disabling firewalls/turning on dmz on my router and nothing has any effect on this issue. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Did you also port forward ports 16261 and 8766 as UDP on your router? No idea if DMZ negates the need to do this, but considering it's not being listed, I'd assume port 8766 is being blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTR Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 DMZ should negate this but I did port forward those ports as well. I think if that would be ports issue, it would be try to connect and fail, but it doesn't even try to connect with public list despite of Public=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaGrey Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Where are you running the server from, FTR? Admittedly, there's not enough of the log visible to tell if this is a server created in-game via the Hosts button or the dedicated server package.

FTR Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 I tried port triggering but nothing changed. I am running server from my pc because I like to sometimes host the game for my friends and I would like to avoid having to launch zomboid to do so. I used steamcmd to download and run the server.

EnigmaGrey Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 If you start a Hosts server from within game and send an invite to a friend on Steam, can they join you? (You need to send the invite in-game, once the server has started and your admin character is in game, by pressing ESC -> Invite.) There are a rare handful of cases where hosting a server might be impossible due to the way the ISP sets up the network. So it might be helpful to see if anyone can join you at all.

Yes they can but only after I enable DMZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Okay. Are you starting the server with the StartServer32.bat or StartServer64.bat files? Not the exes or inside Steam? They should be similarly named on Linux, if you're not using Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTR Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 I am starting StartServer64, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
