ERROR: [Steamworks.NET] Could not initialize GameServer

[DrBacon]

Okay so as of A18, I can no longer get my home dedicated server to initialize. The boot up process looks like everything is okay, but then it ends with the following output:

ERR [Steamworks.NET] Could not initialize GameServer

I have attempted to look online for this issue but I cannot seem to find a solution. This REALLY SUCKS because my wife and I play this with our server. I DO NOT want to have to pay money for a hosted server. Please help!

here is the whole boot up log:

Bacon I sent you friend request I got a Q

[Boba]

I had the same problem in the client in the game itself, the invite a friend button was unavailable, opened ports, entered the export line into the launcher, nothing helped, it worked only in safe mode after and after reinstalling Windows 10 everything worked)))
У меня такая же проблема была в клиенте в самой игре кнопка пригласить друга была недоступна открывал порты вписывал строку экспорта в лаунчер ничего не помогло работало только в безопасном режиме после да и после переустановки виндовс 10 всё заработало )))
