#Dedicated server hangs on join game

So I was trying to setup a dedicated for this, and it just hangs on join game. The server is hosted on an ubuntu server locally here, ports are forwarded in the server and the router, i am connecting via the local ip(if i do the external ip it doesnt see the server at all). Ive set other servers up for multiple games on the same shell. Im at a loss, thoughts?

Usually a mod needs updated, or the version the server is running doesnt match yours. Make sure your server, its mods, and your game/mods are all up to date or on the same version.

#

That was the problem for me at some point anyway.

maiden drum
#

I don't think that is the case, booting it without mods on thr server (client does have them but not enabled), steamcmd installed beta unstable version

Do you have Windows?

maiden drum
#

My personal computer is windows yes, the server computer is on ubuntu?

#

Oddly enough, if i boot a pz server via amp management software, I can connect, anyone outside cant, wondering if my router isnt forwarding how it is supposed to

north bobcat
#

Rarely user error where they write the incorrect ip / port combo, had that happen

maiden drum
#

ive checked, double and triple checked

#

I've tried tcp, udp, combo, everything, im at an absolute loss

north bobcat
#

Try removing the port forwarding and re-add it, sometimes that works as well

maiden drum
#

did that as well

north bobcat
#

And double check your Local IP, in case it changed

maiden drum
#

Did that as well

north bobcat
#

Hm, and are you certain your internet provider assigned you a public IP?

#

Since only those can host dedicated servers

maiden drum
#

yep, i host mc, vrising, website, stream site, etc

north bobcat
#

Got it, can you share the server logs in that case? In the User/Zomboid folder

#

server-console.txt

#

And can you send your server IP? Can do it privately, I want to try a connection myself

#

To remove any user errors

maiden drum
north bobcat
#

Because you are on an older server version

#

I want to confirm you are also on the old client

maiden drum
#

that is the amp version(cube coders amp software), the steamcmd manual instlal and such, i cant attempt to connect, amp allows me to connect, but no one else, but hold on

north bobcat
maiden drum
#

yep

#

booting up the manual steam version to give the logs for it

#

And the steamcmd version, i cant join, it hangs on join game infinetly(nor can anyone else), the amp version i can connect, but no one else can

north bobcat
#

You have two different server versions

#

The SteamCMD is the latest, your AMP one is the old one

#

This is from your client:

LOG : General f:0, t:1770322959803> version=42.13.1

maiden drum
#

yeah i know that part

north bobcat
#

So your client is on the old version

#

Thats the reason you cannot join the SteamCMD version

maiden drum
#

well i know steamcmd is the right one

#

oii

#

i see that now

north bobcat
#

Which one do you want to troubleshoot in this case?

maiden drum
#

forget amp

north bobcat
#

Okay, I am on the latest version, if you sent me the IP I can attempt a connection to the SteamCMD one

#

If the server is running right now

maiden drum
#

It is, i sent to you

north bobcat
#

Failed to connect to it

maiden drum
#

mhm

north bobcat
#

Has to be a port issue in that case..

maiden drum
#

i guess, all i can think at this point is it is something to do with spectrum routers, cause everything is open like it is supposed to be

north bobcat
#

Possible, you could try testing all the layers

#

Turn off ufw temporarily, then I can check the connection

#

If it fails, I would move to the router

maiden drum
#

ufw is disabled on server, i cant disable it router side

north bobcat
#

Yeah still no luck

#

It is interesting that the connection is recieved in the logs though

#

The server is running on bare metal right?

maiden drum
#

Bare metal?

north bobcat
#

I meant that its not containerized

#

Not using Docker or similar to host the server

maiden drum
#

nope

#

like actual terminal

north bobcat
#

Thats fine then, I would suggest opening the Steam ports in that case to see if that helps

maiden drum
#

will try momentarily

check your versions. you will get stuck on joining game if the client and server is not on the same version.
had that problem when 42.13.2 came out

DoLuaChecksum=true
will also kick a player if on, but should get a warning on client

maiden drum
#

yeah we found the version issue, but i gotta take a break, close to saying screw it

@maiden drum do not take a break. I asked you if you had Windows, because HaruHostGSM makes it a lot easier. You should have no problems installing and running a server with it. (HaruHostGSM is made for Windows).
