• FIKA Version: 0.9.8892.36315
• Port Forward
• Explain Problem: Friend is able to connect to my main PC and join my raid fine when I host on it. After making sure it worked, I copied and pasted my SPT folder to my Steam Deck running Windows (EFT and SPT were installed normally prior to merging the folder) so I can keep it up 24/7. I ran DOKDOR Firewall Fixer on both my main PC and Steam Deck, so everything is basically the same when it comes to firewall permissions (I'd assume). My friend then tries to connect when the Steam Deck is hosting, but would get the error in the image. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
• What have I tried so far:

Reinstall EFT and SPT on SD
Change the http.json (used 0.0.0.0 for both IP lines)
Make sure port forwards are to correct MAC address
Ran DOKDOR Firewall Fixer on SD and even my friend's PC (though I know it's host only)
• Logs: No logs on Steam Deck.

So you are trying to host the raid from your steam deck right?

Correct, running Windows

#

and you are certain that your port forwarding is done correctly?

#

Let me just double check, you are running Tarkov on your Steam Deck clicking the host raid button?

#

or just running Aki.Server on it?

Yes, since he was able to join me on my main PC. All I did was change the MAC address to the Steam Deck's on my router after confirming it worked on my PC.
Just running Aki.Server on it

You still need to forward 25565 UDP to your PC running Tarkov.

#

Aki.Server only handles profiles, traders, flea market etc.

#

Game traffic is client to client, aka the one who starts the raid is the host and needs port 25565 UDP forwarded.

I had this problem last night with a friend of mine. It was resolved for us by opening the F12 menu in game and adding the ip in both the ‘force ip’ and ‘force bind ip’ boxes in the Fika tab. We did this for both the hosting player and all players trying to connect

Did you use the mac address IP or ipv4?

Ohhh so TCP 6969 port forward to Steam Deck’s MAC address
But the UDP 25565 port forward to my main PC MAC address?
If I understood that correctly

Yep

Perfect will try that in a bit and get back to you if its resolved

forest sierra May 7, 2024, 5:19 PM

#
