Dedi not visible in Steam server browser (client within the same LAN)

yep all tested again, not antivirus installed neither o.s. firewall

note: already hosting servers through steam matchmaker (automobilista) on other ports without issues.

I test if the ports are open when I launch rf2 dedi server and yes they are (64297/54297) but didn't appear on steam server list or rf2 server browser.

EDIT: server appear initially on list, but after second "refresh" didn't show up
 
I have had an issue when i close a server its still running in task manager. Close all servers and check no rf2 is running in task manager .
 
Surely a worry of configuration, since here the link appears
Check it in case ...
Server: Team SMRC Megane



Do not watch latency I upload a video :)

Can you describe exactly the steps you did to work ?

I still couldn't see my server in steam, only via HTTP port (https://world.rfactor.net/server-list)
A friend of mine had success by changing the configuration of network card on windows. But for me not worked.

He defined a secondary IP as his external IP (https://www.whatismyip.com/) in IPV4 protocol
 
Yes it can come from the port.
At my internet provider, the ports mentioned in the game are reserved, just change them and also change them in the router and firewall and this should pass.

yes I have. But I have now the solution for the problem: The change in Muliplayer.JSON file must not be carried out. Currently I have the port 64297 registered as HTTP server port. My Dedicated Server starts and is published correctly. But as descriptions, I do not see the server. The Reason is: you must create an explicit rfactor Launcher shortcut on the desktop. In "Target" field then should be the following added [192.168.0.1 is here your PC]:

"C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\rFactor 2\Launcher\Launch rFactor.exe" +connect 192.168.0.1:64297 +Password

The server can be seen in the Matchmaker and your Friends can connect, and you can connect directly to it with the Shortcut, and everyone is happy:)

Thx that's fix my problem :)
 
Hi, just to give some feedback...

I solved my problem using amazonws, now i don't need to worry about LAN configuration.
 
Great thread.
Tried everything here, but cant get my server to work.. I was able to use that "connect+" command and see my server and join.

I was not able to join the server with that:
"C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\rFactor 2\Launcher\Launch rFactor.exe" +connect 192.168.0.1:64297 +Password

Just to make sure. That 192.168.0.1 should be my ip? I checked ip from http://whatismyipaddress.com/

also i opened those port from router, but no help... Sadly everything worked before steam.

Is anyone able to help? Would love to make server for my mod

Check if the Anti-Virus didn't block the dedicated.

Already checked them expect antivirus

I have no idea how to check anti-virus (avast), will google it :)

And it's weird that I can connect with old matchmaker, but not with steam version. Is there chance that antivirus blocks steam?

If Steam has a new installation the anti-virus can block the new dedicated server if it's not authorized.
