server has port 16262 closed. Performance may be severely affected

[idle ravine]

i get this message when hosting the server on the same computer as the client
i dont have a firewall active and am using the default server settings
i connect to the server using 127.0.0.0 and have steam relay disabled
i also have ports 16261 and 16262 forwarded on my router but that shouldnt make a difference when client and server are on the same computer

host: linux mint 22.1
game version: 41.78.16

Do you perhaps have the Use Steam Relay option enabled?

[idle ravine]

its disabled

[vagrant pagoda]

Can you share your logs.zip file found in Home\Zomboid?

[idle ravine]

this server has a few mods on it

[vagrant pagoda]

Could you screenshot how you filled out the info on the Join screen?

Since the logs still list your public IP

[vagrant pagoda]

Very unsual, its as if the local connection was blocked by something, so the PC has to go through the relay

How did you install the server exactly?

[idle ravine]

steamcmd

steamcmd +force_install_dir /media/luka/2tb-hdd-2/server\ stuff/project\ zomboid/ +login anonymous +app_update 380870 +quit

and i launch the server with ./start-server.sh -servername Whitey

[idle ravine]

i have ufw installed but its disabled

[vagrant pagoda]

All seems good with the install as well, can you check if someone else can connect without the port being closed?

And can you connect to other servers without the message?

[idle ravine]

my friends were able to connect to the server with the ports being open on my router

[idle ravine]

connecting to other servers works fine

[vagrant pagoda]

That would mean something is just wrong with your PC specifically then

Are you running the game natively or through Proton

[idle ravine]

native

[vagrant pagoda]

Test proton just out of interest, other than that I would also suggest testing a second PC if possible
