I've successfully set up a local server, and my friend can join. I can see what level he is playing and so can I. But when one of us is actually in a level the other player can't see them in the level by clicking on the players tab or actually visually. I've tried finding the packet limit setting as said in the faq, bit I can't find it or it has been removed. Is there another local hosting setting which can influence this?
#Own server not showing other player in level.

packet limit is irrelevant since globed v2
did you set up a game server or just a central server?
most likely connection to game server is not working

I am sure the game server is running, as I can see the server name in game. I've set up portforwarding for 4340 and 4342, the second one being redundant as both servers are on the same laptop.I've tried using tcp://<mypublicip>:4342 as central_server_url but that didn't connect, even with port forwarding setup. I can't see either my friend or the dummy ghost in a level, but I can see connected friends in the lobby, and what level they're playing.
also the player tab shows the name but the ping to be ? ms, so it has to be something with the game server prolly

yeah connections are not reaching your game server
it should print a log whenever anyone connects to it
try to change the console_level under [log] to debug in game server config
and post what it prints

okay so the game server is listening on 4349
are you sure you forwarded that port properly
celest mortar
ill add that one i apparently hadn't yet
stuck mason
yeah it needs to be
celest mortar
ive also setup a firewall rule, to no effect, does the port forwarding need to be tcp/udp specific? I've restarted the both and reconnected to no change yet

must be udp
maybe your firewall does not like ipv6
try changing the udp address to 0.0.0.0:4349 inside game server config
celest mortar
must be udp
Both?
celest mortar
aight
I've messed around with some port forwarding settings, and even disabled my firewall, but to no avail. What ports exactly need to be forwarded? And btw thanks so much for replying at all, idk how you're still sane.
wait the ping diplay is actually working now
imma call a friend to see if its just the ghost before you reply
stuck mason
if ping works then gameplay def should work
celest mortar
it does thanks!!
