Hi All, I thought it is time to re-install our dedi server which ran on Win7... I have many years of XP and I thought that I do understand how it works, but it seems that I do not... Here is what I have: - fresh install of a Win11 Pro - it is running on a VM, hosted by a Linux - fresh install of dedi server, installed using SteamCMD - I installed the shipped vcredist packages (both x64 versions) - it has a fix static IP public address, there is no NAT, no portforward needed, but only packet filter setup on Linux and on the Win11 firewall... - so TCP+UDP 54297, TCP 64297, UDP 64298, UDP 64299 ports are opened (both directions) on Linux and on Win11 as well I also tried allowing every traffic on the Linux host and turned off the firewall on the Windows, but I still can't see the server on the matchmaker (Not connected to Steam) and I can't see it on this page either: https://simracepackages.lima-city.de/rF2server/ If I telnet to port TCP/54297 TCP/64297 from outside I can see the connection established... I also can see the incoming UDP packets sent to UDP/54297, UDP/64298, UDP/64299 arriving to the Win11 server (chacking it using Wireshark installed in Win11) What else did I miss? What else is required to get it listed? Plerase help me out... Mitya
Hi All, Still struggling with this... I installed an UDP receiver on the server and I was able to prove that all the UDP ports are opened on the server... I could send in UDP packets to UDP/54297, UDP/64298, UDP/64299... I was also able to telnet to TCP/54297 and TCP/64297 when the dedi server was running... So it DOES NOT seem to be a port opening issue, but something else... I made some sniffing using Wireshark and saw that there is a TLS communication issue between the dedi and the api.steampowered.com Please find the screenshot attached... I also found a steamplugin.log under the Userdata\Logs folder, which contins this: "rFactor Server failed to conect to Steam" multiple times... Please note that I have all the shipped vcredist libs installed, also I have just installed the newest one from Microsoft... In the screenshot you can see that there is a DNS query for api.steampowered.com and then there is a TCP handshake to the API. After the api there is a TLS handshake, but that fails for some reason... Why?? Thanks for all the ideas...
