Can't connect to server (April 3 update)

[Tom Tardis]

I have a server on GTX Gaming. It looks like the server updated using the Steam Update, and I updated my client.

But I just get timeouts when trying to connect to the dedicated server. Has anyone else had and corrected this problem?

** Edit: I had to open a ticket with GTX, and they fixed it within an hour.

For people running self-hosted servers, it seems that backing up your game files, removing the server, and re-installing it seems to work.

At least we're not on XBox and dealing with our characters randomly rolling back.

Workaround, without the need to install the steam client on the server OS:

Shutdown the server, copy these 6 DLL files from your local Steamclient installation (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam) to the .\Pal\Binaries\Win64\ folder on the server, right next to the PalServer-Win64-Shipping.exe:

steamclient.dll
steamclient64.dll
tier0_s.dll
tier0_s64.dll
vstdlib_s.dll
vstdlib_s64.dll

Start it up, now it is possible again to join the server.

This worked for my self-hosted dedicated server after it just wouldn't work until I copied these files in. The files didn't previously exist in that folder, so no over-writing involved.

Check your firewall settings. The name of the executable has changed so your firewall will need to be changed to the same file name.

Same in my Case... Own Home Dedicated Server. No Connection - Time Out.
In My case it helps to write down the full IP of the Server with port. Connect to it directly works for me

Confirmed fix:

On your server (if you own it): from /common/PalServer/ copy the .dll files to /common/PalServer/Pal/Binaries/Win64/

Fix may work on other platforms (it will not be Win64)

Same, I PERSONALLY did not change anything. I just decided to try it one more time 5 minutes ago and could suddenly log into my private server

Unfortunately, that doesn't work on rented servers, since they won't let me upload DLL files (for obvious reasons.) I am trying a wipe and full re-install now. After that, I'll open a ticket.

In order for me to patch to 0.2.1.0 without an error, I had to remove those added files. Patch the server and then put the files back.

So glad I decided to host my server with hostinger. They had the servers updated within like an hour. I see some people who still can't get their servers up and running.

Still getting getting Time-out when connecting to a hosted dedicated server after they said they "fixed" the issue for v0.2.1.0.
