If I use a hostname (e.g. my-zomboid-server.com) for my server, when players add it to their game clients, the metadata is not pulled. E.g. instead of showing data like ping, online players, etc, it shows "The server is not responding". However, the server is still joinable and does actually work.
If the server is saved through its IP directly, the metadata does show up. What am I missing?
Additional info:
- Dedicated server running my personal desktop computer.
- Wired connection, modern router, fiber optic, high bandwidth, etc.
- IP might be dynamic, IDK.
- Using no-ip (noip.com) for DDNS, gives me a hostname that is automatically updated to point to my latest public IP through an
ADNS record.
