Can´t create server - "can´t connect"

[Fepaje]

Hi, I´ve a big problem with the multiplayer. I want to host a server for friends and me but they can´t connect to it. Even with the direct-ip-connection method.

I tried everything so far: Shutting off the windows firewall, opening ports (10308+10309) in windows firewall and router, shutting off every antivirus software, starting the multiplayer.exe as an admin, starting the server in "LAN" mode...etc.

 

Nothing worked. The clients don´t see the server in the server list and are still getting the "can´t connect" message if they try a direct connect over my actual ip oder my dyndns url adress.

 

This is really frustrating so please help me. :sad_2:

Edit:

After some testing with other games, I was sure that the problem was the port forwarding of the router. So i restarted it and changed the internal IP of my Computer. Now it works just fine! :)

There once was a test tool that 2 friends could run locally on each others computers to test connection. Should be somewhere in multiplayer on this forum. Search and look ;)
