Server not showing
Hello,

I have a weird issue where my server does not show. No firewall is active just for troubleshooting but no matter what I do it does not show on the list.

Everything boots up fine and no errors, I have to follow friends through Steam to connect to the server.

Not sure if this is bug, or just not good documentation on the dedicated server.

I made a video that shows how to direct connect to the server through steam.

I've already tried this - "Server is not responding".
I have no issue with hosting any other game server apart from this one.

Mine says that also. You have to have Valheim running and it will connect anyway.

So you can't connect to your own dedicated server?
Try using the Steam Server browser and check if you can find it in the local tab.
If that doesn't work, try adding it to your Favorites by using the ipv4 IP(something like 192.168.x.x)

Can connect to LAN server but only through a VPN, LAN address shows "Server not responding" in Steam browser, I then moved to my Finland Dedicated Box and no one can see the server. Finland Dedicated server also shows "Not responding"

The server list seems a little buggy.

I've tried endless solutions... Completely stripped UFW, changed IPTables to ACCEPT all and still no luck on the dedicated server.

It's odd because I quickly setup a Rust server and that is visible and can connect and I also setup a Teamspeak and to no surprise, it's working.

To clarify I have setup manual with SteamCMD and LGSM, both with the same results.

No, your video shows the server not visible in the Browser List, The Steam Server Browser shows "Server not responding" and no name is visible and you cannot join as it doesn't assign a game to it.

Have you tried direct connect?
Game properties: +connect ip:123

I've heard that this is buggy or something but it's worth a try.
Once you boot up the game, click Start and chose the character and it should connect you.

Life saver! That is some weird ♥♥♥♥.
I have added :2456, 2457,2458 and it seems to be resolving one of those to :2456 but the original IP:2456 still shows as not responding.

*scratches head*

Look above, a guy solved my problem, maybe yours too?
