Server Does Not Answer

Post by Firefox »

When my friends try to join my server from the main screen only my IP is available and when they click on my server they only get that SERVER DOES NOT ANSWER message...
Is there a way i can fix this?
Thanks

Do you have the ports open/redirected?­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­
There's a difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you're shit. Grammar does matter.

Well, it sounds like this is a client server. Did you start this from the master list?

If you started a server by choosing "Host Game" in your client, then it's a client server. Use the dedicated server instead.

That doesn't help the issue at hand (it helps performance, of course). To solve the connection problems, you need to set up port forwarding.

Ah, I thought I had read somewheres along the lines something about the client maybe blocking more than the dedicated server or something.

Or something. :/
