Amakiir Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hello I have been playing with my friends in a normal server before. Recently we started having the problem that no one can connect to my games. I tried making a dedicated server and that didnt work either. I also cant connect to one of my friends' game as well. But we connect to random games just fine. When I tried a different laptop it works fine, but it is very old and in not a very pleasent condition. I also tried making the game public with a password instead of making it friends only. I have everything in exceptions. Can anyone help me?

k2trix Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 When you're hosting a game, you have to configure your router settings : set your IP static in DHCP settings, and define your computer as the DMZ IP. (easy way, open all your ports, but take care ^^) or you can foward every port manually : The Cluster Master Port( ex : 10940 ) in cluster.ini, to link shards to each other on a same port. The Network Port ( ex : 11050 ) in server.ini for players to join your server (this is this one you need to forward !) Steam Authentication Port ( ex : 8818) just for server to login into steam database (i guess) Steam Master Server Port ( ex : 27068) If all your ports are fowarded properly and if you allowed the dontstarve_dedicated_server_nullrenderer.exe threw window firewall's. You should be seen by the whole world Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/97124-no-one-can-connect-to-my-server/#findComment-1100319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel86268 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Do you mean that your server is not showing up in the server list, or is it that noone can actually connect to it, and instead the client throws an error message? Either way first of all check if you all have the latest (or at least the same) version of the game. (In steam right click on game -> properties -> local files -> check file integrity). Ingame you can check the current version by pressing the backspace key and compare the build number on the bottom right corner. If it still doesn't work try to connect to the server directly using the command c_connect("<server_ip>",<server_port>,"[Password]") from the main menu console. If that doesn't work either, check if a Windows update somehow changed the firewall in a way that it blocks the game again.

cezarica Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Don't do the DMZ like k2trix suggested, instead check your firewall and your router port forward rules. Oh, and you should post in the [Don't Starve Together] Dedicated Server Discussion section server related questions Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/97124-no-one-can-connect-to-my-server/#findComment-1100350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amakiir Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 My game is show on the list but no one other than me can connect to it. They just see a Connecting screen forever..If ı use a different laptop it works for some reason. Also dedicated server was just a backup plan, I wanted to make a normal multiplayer room from ingame. Woudl router port forwarding differ from aptop to laptop connecting to the same router?

No reason, exept if one of them is the DMZ IP,or one of them has already opened ports.
