Cant get dedicated UT3 server to run... :(

[PorcusGrunzus]

Im already trying to get a UT3 dedicated server to run for hours...
It doesnt work. No clue why exactly.

I followed this guide:
https://multiplayerforums.com/topic/5323-unreal-tournament-3-server-setup-guide-windows/

I just skipped the part about the Webadmin stuff. I dont need this, or do I? I just wanna run a small little server from home for some friends. No big modding or other settings stuff.
This also says something about creating a login... Why does somebody has to create a login for a SERVER?! Sorry but this makes not much sense and I setup already several servers.
I used my account login credentials now. Is that wrong?

Well, the rest is the same as in the guide. But I cant get it to run.
There seems to be some problem regarding winsock and utcpnetdriver.
Couldnt really find a fix regarding this.
Only found several KF2 guys having the same problem setting up a server.

Yes, I have my ports for the game unlocked. 7777 and 25300. Both UDP.

Here is a screenshot from my server log:

Already got a UT2004 server running, which was in my opinion a lot easier to setup.
Why so complex now?

Help would be much appreciated...

WOAH!
Thanks a lot, that did it.

Something so little... As always. Actually I didnt pay any attention to this at all. Maybe because I didnt know what it was for anyway.


Anyway... While I have no errors anymore and it says everythings running, I cant join my server. It is not reachable with my ip and port 7777. Also its NOT shown in LAN. Usually they are always shown in LAN...

I would actually say that something about the port forwarding is not correct. Seems so at least but I checked... It should work. I unlocked port 7777 and 25300. Are there anymore neccessary? Is it ok when they are unlocked as UDP? I wasnt sure there, UT2004 is fine with UDP. Is TCP neccessary too?

EDIT:
Added picture.

There is still that problem with gameserver assertion failed. No clue if its actually a problem though.

lol. I actually clicked acidentaly on host server inside of my UT3 game, below lan or something and it said that my network connection may not be compatible with hosting matches. No clue if that is relevant in this problem here though.

EDIT2:
oO. I actually tried to host a server with the ingame host option and now it works...
The hell? Well, it works at least LAN. Its shown in LAN now. I tried Internet too, wasnt listed in the server browser... While having a internal ingame LAN server is a fine workaround for now, I still would like to get it run via the Dedicated UT3 Server Tool.
