bhi Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Good day, UPDATE - After much research and headache, it seems my internet connection is provided through a CGNAT, which according to what I've read, makes it impossible for me to have proper port forwarding. OP- Quick background - I've hosted multiple game servers over many years and never had such issues. I've opened UDP ports 8766-8767 and 16261 in both router and firewall. I'm able to connect to running dedicated vanilla (no mods) server via local network. Trying to connect via external (over internet) produces "the server is not responding". I am seeing the following messages when starting the server and I'm wondering if this is standard, specifically regarding the parts about ports already being opened, but also failing... Thank you for the thoughts on this. LOG : General , 1643821530445> 149,353,294> map_t.bin does not exist, cannot determine the server's WorldVersion. This is ok the first time a server is started.

Beard Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Can you try installing the server using SteamCMD if not already? It seems to work slightly better in rare instances and has less issues. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2683719613 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhi Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Thank you very much for your reply. After much research and headache, it seems my internet connection is provided through a CGNAT, which according to what I've read, makes it impossible for me to have proper port forwarding. If you still think installing the server using SteamCMD might circumnavigate this issue, I'm more than happy to try. I really just want to play the game with friends on a dedicated server, but purchasing a static IP is just not financially possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Unfortunately it would not circumvent that, best I could suggest is either just hosting using the Host function, since that goes through the Steam P2P network. Or try hosting using tunneling which would allow you to host a dedicated server just for friends. Use services such as Hamachi or ZeroTier to virtualize a LAN network and that way it should bypass the static IP requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
