Cant connect to OWN server

[Puck G.]

Heya all,

i just made my own server and my friend can play on it. But i cant...
I tried joining through the view-> server->lan optio. Because in the servermanu i cant find it because of the huge amounts of servers already.

does someone know how i can fix this?

Also there is more info collected in a post around page 5 (if viewing 50 at a time) on the pinned server discussion.
What I told you worked for me though. Was all I needed to do.

Most likely none of that. Port issue. Did you change the QueryPort? If not, your server is running on the same port as your game and which ever you started up 2nd won't work. Change your QueryPort (add, without quotes "-QueryPort=#####" (I used 27017 for #####, but whatever you want) to the .bat command line after -log open that port in router like you did 27015 for your friend to connect and you should be able to too.

Never changed my query port and it's working fine. If his server log isn't saying anything then it's not even trying to connect.

If you're running the server from the same computer as the one you're playing it will be the same ip.

Make sure when you update the server files you don't skip forcing the install dir again. Otherwise it will just download them in the default download folder.

Then somehow you got luckier than the other 100 questions/complaints like this I've seen.

For reference, to keep you from digging, a copy of that post I was pointing you to is:

引用自 Zombie：

1-Get SteamCMD
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd.zip

2-Extract the contents of the steamcmd.zip to some folder of your choosing.
(note I installed steamcmd to C:\Users\Zombie\Desktop\CSVR)

3-Open a terminal window on the folder you chose.

4-Create a different folder to install the server into.(note I installed to C:\Users\Zombie\Desktop\CSVR\Exiles)

5-Make a batch file in the folder above with steamcmd.exe name it, StartServer.bat (or whatever) This makes a simple one click update steamcmd/conan server and also starts the server. Put the following in a txt file, rename .txt to .bat to make it executable. **Your folders might be different so change it to where you decided to install the steamcmd and where you want the server to be saved.**

@ECHO OFF
color 03
ECHO Updating SteamCMD and Server Files
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir "C:\Users\Zombie\Desktop\CSVR\Exiles" +app_update 443030 +quit

@ECHO OFF
cd C:\Users\Zombie\Desktop\CSVR\Exiles
ECHO Starting Conan Exiles Server
ConanSandboxServer.exe -log -QueryPort=27017
exit

6-This will then start the server, which will toss some yellow/red errors but be fine otherwise.

Once it has ran once, hit control+c to safely make the server shut down, this will then create all the folders you need with the ini files/saves etc.

7-I then had to modify some of the .ini files (under the "C:\Users\Zombie\Desktop\CSVR\Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsServer") directory like shown next:

Engine.ini (note this is where you can pick the server name/password)

[Core.System]

Paths=%GAMEDIR%Content
Paths=../../../Engine/Plugins/2D/Paper2D/Content

[OnlineSubsystem]
bUseBuildIdOverride=True
BuildIdOverride=192251545

[OnlineSubsystemSteam]
ServerName=PickUrName
ServerPassword=PickUrPassword

Game.ini (the UserID will be whatever your windows id is, it fills on its own, this is where you set player count)

[ConanSandbox]
UserID=Zombie[/script/engine.gamesession]
MaxPlayers=4

ServerSettings.ini (this is the meat, to connect to yourself you must use QueryPort=a different port than the regular game port. This also shows where you can add admin pw, and disable PVP, nudity=0/1/2 full/partial/none, Server Region also needs to be set, ie: 1 for NA)

8-ok now that that's done you need to set Port Forwarding rules on your router/modem, for the following ports:

UDP 27015 > 192.168.1.your ip (may change on reboot if not static! Game Port)
UDP 7777 > 192.168.1.your ip (may change, see above! Server Port)
UDP 27017 > 192.168.1.your ip (may change, see above! Self Connect Port)

Once that is setup, you can connect to your own game, run the server batch first, once all updated etc, it will show the line: LogExternalProfiler blah blah science science etc. that is your que to start up steam and connect to yourself!

9-Once in your server (unofficial search remember!) you can then go into the server settings option in game, and grant yourself admin. Be aware that doing this might clear the passwords for the server after applying it, so fix those up in the in game dialog screen after going back in and out. Once that is settled you can easily adjust the rates and other options not easily seen or changed from the ini files. You can also now use the Admin Tools page to cheat or whatever.

If you have everything setup the way you like it make a copy of the entire "WindowsServer" folder in case an update overwrites your server settings etc. Likewise the entire "Save" folder can be saved to preserve your server data.

Please remember to safely shut down, always hit control+c on the server's command prompt log window. sometimes you might have to hit enter first to give it focus, then hit control+c. You will see it shutting down etc.

10-I hope this helps!

Its so frigging frustrating. spend 2 evenings on it so far. Boyfriend is mad af xD because he looked forward to this so much but it gives us such a heavby feeling atm.. and whatever wqe do it jsut doestn work for BOTH of us

[Norry]

After launching server, then game on the same computer, does the game "see" ANY servers on the list?

[Puck G.]

in the steam->view->servers->lan it does.


But we just cant seem to change the IP and all that...

Its so wierd :(

[Norry]

Can't change the IP, and don't really need to.
Not the steam server list, in the actual game. Does it see any servers at all?

[Puck G.]

yes it sees servers. But we cant change the servername yet (and that isnt topprio) so we cant find our own server

[Thunder Muffin]

it seems to not like runing the server and game on the same PC. me and my friend have tryed with 2 PC i cant see the server on my machine and when he runs the server he cant see it on his.

[Puck G.]

yes thats exactly what i mean.

[Norry]

Try adding the server as a favorite in steam. Fav Tab, add put the lan IP address:port (whatever you used for the QueryPort). Then launch the game, and see if the server shows up on the favorites. (if not try clicking invalid server and see if it shows up)(If still not, try going over the post I pasted and all but start over from the server setup part) (You could also try putting your WAN ip address:port)
I went through it not working from same machine yesterday, but got it there by adjusting ports and adding as a favorite.

[Attuoz]

having the same problem. also global server list is empty when i play on the host computer.

[Puck G.]

Trying now :)

[Norry]

Oh, and forgot to say, once you add as a favorite it should detect that there is a server running there. If it does, then continue with rest. If not, something else is wrong.
