Server not showing up for some of our people.

[OverFlight]

Hey, we're a group of friends that created a dedicated server a couple of days ago. The owner of the server lives in the UK and most of our group lives there as well, however myself and one other in our group lives outside the UK. The first day the server was created we were both able to find the server in the server list by searching for the name, however since then we haven't been able to find the server, nor able to connect to it by using the Steam Server View either, we can't even add it to the favorites list.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem, or a potential fix to try?
We've both attempted to increase the number on the port, and that doesn't seem to fix anything.

Hello,

i do kinda have a similar problem.

two days ago i rented a gaming server. That provider especially gave me a hint regarding Valheim Server-Software problems. It seems the Problem is regarding the IP. My server does not show up because another Valheim Server of someone else does share the same IP with me.
I got another IP by the Support of my Server-Provider and it worked afterwards without a Problem.

Sadly today i have problems again. Its actually frustrating for a such a game having such problems (idea of multiplayer with your friends).. dammit i pay money for that server >.<

Dont know if that helps you.

Otherwise love the game so far <3

regards,
BigAndy

You cant find the server in the in-game list or even searching for the name with filter, and also cannot be found on the steam server list? sounds like the server has crashed or not running. The the dedicated server home hosted or hosted with someone like G-Portal?

We have had a similar issue with our server, some people can see it in the list and to connect via IP. However myself and a few others can only connect via other people already playing on the server via friends list.

Adding the IP and port to steam server list just shows server not responding for me, but two days ago it was working fine.

Had the same problem here about two days after launch. A day or so after that the IP workaround stopped working and now can't even join by clicking on someone else already online. US G-Portal server, everyone else is US as far as I'm aware except me.

I have a little solution for it. Rightclick on Valheim -> Properties -> Launch parameter : "
+connect ip " IP means u type in your ip from server. Than close the window start Valheim and it directly connects to the server

I am having the same problem. I can't seem to get the direct connection working though. You just type "+connect IP" (IP being your server IP and without the " Symbols I asume, no empty spaces after IP) into the launch option? Does it youse the "normal" IP or the IP with the last number+1 that is used if you want to find the server in the steam server overview?

+connect 192.168.0.1:2456 <-exactly like this u need the port also

[[STG]_[Gr@zor]_[GER]]

im just using the normal IP from the Hoster

[[STG]_[Gr@zor]_[GER]]

Valheim starts i can choose character and then i need to type in the password

[Zorr]

Our Server Host had to open some ports but now its working, thank you so much for that tip!
