Unable to connect to Caves Beta Server I am hosting (after recent patch)


Recommended Posts

I found my server in the list like expected but I'm running it on a different PC on my network.  I've been able to connect to it for at least a month.  After a recent update that allowed the punch through for the servers (no need to forward ports) I cannot connect.  Also the server doesn't appear in my LAN list from the client either.


 


I have even tried direct connecting from the client to no avail.  The funny part is I know the server is working because I have people playing on it right now.


 


I've run a couple netstats on the machine but I can't see any incoming connections when I try to login to the server.  My firewall rules haven't changed.  Only the patched server version.


 


Attached are the log files after it starts up successfully.

I forgot to mention that I can connect and see the server from server itself, but only from the LAN tab.  If I try to login from the normal "Online" tab it will never connect.  I believe this is the cause of the problem.  What changed recently related to the online matchmaking not allowing a client on the same IP?  Remember this is all behind the same NAT.

Please also share your settings.ini for both the master and slave. Additionally try connecting to the server via console (~) while in the main menu of the game. The command should be c_connect("ip address", 10999, "password"). Just change the ip address to the local address of the host computer (usually 192.168.1.xxx) and add the password or leave blank if none.

Also try to check that both your dedicated server and client are both running the caves beta and are fully updated. Your server and client are probably updated but I figured it would be worth mentioning just in case.

If you can see and connect to the server from the lan tab, what's the problem? That's exactly how you're supposed to connect.

 

 

I can see it from the server I'm hosting it on in the LAN tab....that doesn't mean I can see it on another computer on the same network on the LAN tab, which is the problem I described.

I have attempted to direct connect which I mentioned before.  I cannot direct connect from another client on the same network as the host.  The settings.ini haven't changed since the caves beta started and I see players on the servers connected fairly often.
