Need help with getting server online past "Logging into server"

torianbg · 03/12/2020, 17:44

Greetings! I'm trying to get my A2 dekaron server to run online. Im using Hellspiders server files and running them on a windows 7. So far I've managed to run it locally but when I try to connect to it from a different PC it reached "Logging into server" but doesn't go further than that, after some time it says "Response Time Exceeded". I haven't touched the server files IPs/Ports, both clients and server's share folder uses my external ip, 50005 and 7880 have been port forwarded. I tried turning off my firewall on both pc and client but it makes no difference. Tried changing the 50005 and 7880 ports to a different number and portforwarding to it but it still doesnt get past the "Logging into server" part. The game does run normally if i play it with localhost 127.0.0.1 as IP.

Would really appreciate some tips here. Tried looking into old threads but none of them helped so far.

Uploading my server config files here just in case something is wrong with that that I haven't noticed, but I haven't touched them at all.

PS Not sure how related this is but I am able to host servers for other games, so it shouldnt be an ISP issue

According to what I see here, the dekaron server is not finishing loading.

Haven't tried to let it load for more than 10 minutes tbh. Will try tomorow!
I can log in from localhost about 30 seconds after starting the server tho, but I guess this could be different since it is localhost.

Think they have all loaded here but still no difference, continues to reach only up to "Logging into server" I let it stay on for a full hour but the outcome is still the same

I don't know what's causing it but I had the same problem awhile ago.
I had to port forward instead.

Guys start read with uderstanding, not just read.

Ok I tried running the server on my old laptop and it works with no issues, using the same setup I used on my PC. Not sure what caused the problem on the PC tho

Oh, so you're trying to port forward. I didn't change the ports.

Try setting your IPv4 settings if you haven't.
I can't make a guide but did a google search for an example.
Skip down to step 4.
