    Hi everybody. I have a problem with a dedicated server that was working properly and then stopped it 3 weeks ago. Now when I start it, it doesn't appear on public server list. However, people having it in "favourites" can access without problem. Can you please give me some ideas to diagnose what's wrong?

    Yes, I did. I chose the "repair" for the 4 runtimes. And nothing changed.

    Ports are open according to "netstat -a" command and permissions are OK in the windows firewall. Next thing to verify is the port forwarding. Thanks for your help.

    Maybe the server is not on the most current version and needs an update?

    I tried Bin32 Dedicated Server, with no difference, this is the content of the CustomPluginVariables.json:


    {
    "KnockoutQualifying.dll":{
    " Enabled":1,
    "FixedNumberScored":1,
    "NumQualSessions":2,
    "TimedLapRequired":1,

    },
    "TrackIR_rF2_Plugin.dll":{

    },
    "TrackIR_rF2_Plugin_x64.dll":{

    "VMHotlaps2x64.dll":{
    " Enabled":1
    },
    "WelcomePlugin_x64.dll":{
    " Enabled":1
    }
    }

    Looks like there's nothing strange. As I mentioned, it was working 3 weeks ago, we stopped it and it doesn't work anymore. The server itself is a Windows 2008R2 VM running the steamcmd dedicated server. It's hosted in the corporate network of a donor company, and I asked them to check the port forwarding, as I don't have control over it. I think that could be the problem, but I don't have any answer yet.

    Hi, it took a long time to check port forwarding but finally the donor company told us they didn't change network setup (double-checked). I downloaded nmap utility and this is what it says for UDP ports (http server port is 34350):

    34351/udp open|filtered unknown

    34352/udp open|filtered unknown

    34353/udp closed unknown

    In theory, they're open. I'm getting crazy with this, as I double (and triple) checked all config steps

    I've disabled Windows 2008 R2 firewall and anti-malware, I've installed Microsoft Message Analyzer and I see UDP messages are received on ports 34351 and 34352, so I don't think it's a network problem. Tried a clean reinstall of the SteamCMD dedi server and no difference. Any ideas? I don't know what else I should try.
