Can't connect to my dedicated server hosted on my PC
Hey there. I just got into Conan and decided to create a dedicated server for me and my friends. I've installed and configured it according to this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=853969975

Server seems to run fine for my friends, they connect without issues, but I can't seem to connect myself. The server does show up in the browser for me and my friends, but every time I try to join, the loading bar gets stuck at 100% and then I get disconnected with an error message saying: "Could not connect to server. Your connection to the host has been lost".

I've tried all 4 troubleshooting steps to try to connect but none worked. I've set the
-MULTIHOME argument with my internal IPV4 address and I've used a non-default QueryPort (27016), both in the server launch parameters. I've tried using Steam's server browser to connect via the LAN tab and that results in an instant disconnect, and also using the LocalTravel command in the console to connect via my IPV4 address did nothing.

Do you guys know what the issue might be and how I can fix it? Thanks!

not sure if it would help but i use the dedicated server launcher usually easier to set things up. but did you change the game client port and the raw udp port that the server uses? so your pc and the game isnt trying to fight over the same port? not sure if that makes sense

like i had to set my game client port to 7779 and raw udp port to 7780 to be able to connect normally to my own server

You might need to setup port forwarding, you could also try to direct connect using 127.0.0.1

I've port forwarded all the necessary ports I believe. I forwarded 7777 UDP, 7778 UDP, 27015 UDP and 27016 UDP because I used it as a QueryPort in my launch parameters.

Did you try direct connect? like this 10.0.0.1:27015 or 27016

Yopu need to change the ports of the server from the default ones if you want to play on the same machine.
Instead of default ports 7777,7778 and 27015 just change it to 7779, 7780, 27016.

This is the guide I used to set mine up recently.

I tried it with both ports and it didn't work. As a side note, the ping shows up as "9999" and the server age like "???"

How do I change the ports exactly? Also in what config file do I specify the new ports?

Ok, so yesterday I tried setting up my server from scratch using the launcher
(https://forums.funcom.com/t/conan-exiles-dedicated-server-launcher-official-version-1-7-2-beta/21699)
And sadly the issue persists. I switched all the ports to the ones that you specified and tested them if they were accessible (I forwarded all new ports) and I set up Multihome with my internal IPV4 address. My friends were able to connect just fine but I couldn't, I would just get stuck at loading the same way as before.

Is there anything else I should try?
