Connecting to dedicated nitrado server crashes client on connection | Windrose | Page 1

I have a bone stock dedicated 8 man server that I rented for me and my friends. We can connect to each other just fine, but none of us can connect to the server. Nitrado console shows the server as Up and running, I have restarted it multiple times. The ONLY stock setting I changed was the server password.

We can find the server just fine, but the client crashes about 15 seconds into connecting to the server.

Any help is appreciated- I have made sure that there is no anti virus software or VPN software running.

Can you confirm if the server version matches the client version (usually shown in the dashboard or logs)

^ This, and it sounds like there's something going on with their dns from what you're saying

Server Version

0.10.0.1.6-02cb3254

if there was a DNS issue I wouldn't be able to see the server. I can SEE it, i can connect to it, the client crashes while connecting.

From my experience there DNS servers that have been spotty all morning that affect when you actually connect

#

If Nitrado doesn't have the correct DNS servers selected, they might not know about Windrose's P2P servers yet

#

It'll take time to propagate, or Nitrado needs to change something

#

it's been up for 3 hours now... DNS would have propagated.

livid crystal Apr 14, 2026, 3:51 PM

#

But that would all be confirmed or denied by your server logs

It depends, most datacenters have their own local DNS

If you want to post your server logs here I can help

#

let me try reconnecting and see if it throws an error into the logs

#

i see some errors in the logs but im not sure if they are relevant

livid crystal Apr 14, 2026, 3:55 PM

#

Do they have a way for you to get the full log?

#

It could be in their file manager or something similar

ruby magnet Apr 14, 2026, 3:56 PM

#

there is ... I'm looking at it now.

livid crystal Apr 14, 2026, 3:58 PM

#

You can send it here, I'm happy to take a look

ruby magnet Apr 14, 2026, 3:59 PM

#

there's this large error... but i'm not getting any new errors in the logs when i try and connect...

📎 message.txt

#

let me restart it and see if i can get it to generate anything new

#

thats a server error if you ask me.... not DNS

ruby magnet thats a server error if you ask me.... not DNS

I'd need to see more of what comes above

#

That's the generic "You got disconnected" message

#

Have you contacted Nitrado?

ruby magnet Apr 14, 2026, 4:09 PM

#

thats the full log

📎 R5_1.log

#

I havent contacted nitrado - as far as they're concerned i'm sure their container is working as intended.
