V1123 when I create a dedicated server as per normal (using the new UI) everything is as per previous versions <1122 but now when I go to the lobby I can't see my game anymore. Nothing has changed with hardware or router port forwarding anybody else found this? Only happened since this new update. - Tried multiple vehicles and tracks but now my game is no longer visible.
Maybe the multiplayer.json has been re written and has default ports named. I'd check there for a start Buzz. Edit: Just thought did the dedi server get updated as well?
Thanks for the replay @JimmyT I created a new shortcut for the dedicated server (if it got updated) and also created a new shortcut to the Mas2 - also checked the multiplayer.json everything is as it should be. Triple checked my port forwarding - something seems to have broken ability to host and run own game.
Works here....changed my http port to 27013 and simulation port to 53297, didn't work with the default 64297/54297 ports, and all was good with the world.......interestingly server showed under internet and LAN.
Thanks for the reply - what's port 27013 about about? I have always only used 54297 TCP + UDP 64297 TCP 64298 UDP 64299 UDP
Here is my current port forwarding - has worked this way for years and broke with the S397 stuff around this week.
If your router modem doesn’t support Nat Loopback then you need to use http port 27013 so that steam recognises it’s a local network connection and will show it in the LAN.
When I went into my Router settings I decided to check all avenues and did an IPconfig just to see what my IP was. It was 192.168.1.100 and when I went into my router it was set to 192.168.1.110. I changed it and now it works perfectly again. So its not a S397 issue, obviously my IP provider changed my IP weirdly. Update: Wife just told me she received a text from TPG yesterday that they had scheduled maintenance yesterday. There goes half a day LOL
Thanks - just with the week that S397 has had with hot fixes and roll backs - I never thought to look in my own backyard
