#yeah, and using that default port still
timid flower
different pc, got a separate windows box that runs another game server as well
fair jackal
Are you using the public IP to connect or the local network IP?
timid flower
I'd like to use a public dns name I own but so far I've tried the public dns name, my public ip, and even tried the local ip
fair jackal
Are you able to add it to the Steam favorites list?
timid flower
seems like its running fine, seeing stuff like this in the cmd window
[Session] 'HostOnline' (up)!
[Session] finished transition from 'Lobby' to 'Host_Online' (current='Host_Online')!
when I try to add in steam favorites it says it can't find it
fair jackal
Double check the firewall on your Host system.
It should allow both the query port and game port.
timid flower
i have 15637 and 15636 open but I'll just try turning it off entirely real quick
fair jackal
Any luck with removing the firewall from the equation?
timid flower
nah, tried restarting enshrouded server after disabling too just to be sure
fair jackal
Ok, not a firewall issue. And you're using the default ports you said?
timid flower
not too familiar with windows gsm, but it has a global server list check and it'll tell me Result: Online
fair jackal
Is that checklist run from your gaming PC or host PC?
timid flower
its built into the same tool that launches the enshrouded server exe so its ran from the host
fair jackal
So the game is functioning but something along the communication chain is failing. I know this is going to seem redundant, but can you run command prompt on the Host pc, do the command ipconfig and verify that you are, in fact, using the correct IP Address? Specifically the IPv4 Address line.
timid flower
sure, and I appreciate the extra help
my local ip is 192.168.0.2 so I put that into the "ip": line in the config. Had the same problem when I left it at 0.0.0.0
but when trying to add the server as a favorite in steam I've been using my public ip
fair jackal
Ok, do you know if your router supports NAT Loopback?
Let me rephrase that. Are you able to connect to your other games using your DNS/public IP?
timid flower
yeah I can go into my nat rules and port forward fine
for example it also runs a palworld server and we connect using dns:port
fair jackal
Ok, so it does support Loopback then. A lot of routers don't is why I asked.
timid flower
only difference is instead of being able to manually tell enshrouded hey connect here at dns:port there seems to be more magic needed
fair jackal
Can you copy/paste your config file?
timid flower
hmm discord not appearing to want to let me upload that here
fair jackal
Oh, just copy/paste the text.
timid flower
{
"name": "Dream Team Server",
"password": "genericpassword",
"saveDirectory": "./savegame",
"logDirectory": "./logs",
"ip": "192.168.0.2",
"gamePort": 15636,
"queryPort": 15637,
"slotCount": 16
}
fair jackal
Ok, go ahead and delete that so the password and such are kept secret.
There don't appear to be any JSON errors. You said you had this issue even with the ip on "0.0.0.0"?
timid flower
yeah, I'll flip it back to 0.0.0.0 and restart
cmd line logs seem ok too

fair jackal
And still unable to find it with steam?
timid flower
yea, restarting with 0.0.0.0 now to see what happens
fair jackal
Alright. Try 192.168.0.2:15637
timid flower
ooh it worked now
timid flower
going to try the public ip then work back and turn stuff on line firewall
it appears in the server list in game now too
timid flower
not too sure what we did but I guess it worked
some weird combo of toggling firewall/restarting server piece/leaving ip at 0.0.0.0?
I turned the firewall back on, started it up, shows up fine lol

That's so strange, and your ports are only 1 apart, instead of 2.
timid flower
hmm, I thought default was 15636 and 15637

It really shouldn't matter, but from all the digging I did last night gamePort isn't even used. Maybe it defaults to something else I don't know, or maybe steam uses it and we don't see it.
From experiencing other steam implemented COOP games, they're usually 2 apart. Steam uses its own port forwarding to broadcast servers.

Game port is used to play the game. The query port is used by Steam to query the server for it's information (Server name, max users, etc)
