Server won't connect to steam (Root Server)

[JackswastedlifeLP 0]

Hi people,

 

I'm trying hard to open a server on my Root-Server for me and my friends to play on. Unfortunately this is not as easy as it seems.

Currently I'm getting this problem (taken from the connection_log_3724.txt):

and so on, this keeps going 'till the cows come home. No connection to steam established --> can't see my server in the browser.

 

I've already gotten the server to the point where it connects to steam and shows up in the server browser, but then I couldn't connect to it, because it couldn't establish a connection with my client.

 

A short overview of the stuff I tried:

 

1. Server-Software via Steam-CMD

- Connection to steam established

- Server is visible in the Server-list

- Can't connect with my client (Error-Message: "connection timed out: connect")

 

2. Server software downloaded through the Steam-client ("Tools"):

- Connection to the lobby can't be established (see "Connection failed" from the log-file above), although the settings are the same as in #1

- Can't see the server

 

- In both cases I've tried it with an active logged in steam-client on my root server and without.

- I've tried setting the external IP to my real external root-ip and the internal ip to the localhost (127.0.0.1)

- Auto-detect sets the external and the internal ip both to my external root-ip

- I've tried setting both ip's (internal & external) to 0.0.0.0

- The ports are opened and routed correctly (UDP: 8766, 4380, 27000-27036, 3724 / TCP: 7221, 3724, 8766, 27016-27030)

- I can connect to other servers

 

Any of you braniacs know a solution?

 

Thanks in advance

[bigsteve 378]

Ext ip use the ip of your network card

int ip use 127.0.01

 

[JackswastedlifeLP 0]

That's what I was doing.

I've tested basically every type of combination. It just doesn't want to work.

[bigsteve 378]

Have u looked in wurm.log.0 file for any errors?

its located in the maps sub log folder.

 

 

 

 

 

[JackswastedlifeLP 0]

Yes, I did that.

 

AFAIK there're no errors so far. This is an excerpt of the startup-procedure until the server does all the cyclic things, like counting eggs, creating blessings from gods and so on.

I must admit, this is getting more and more ridiculous... It doesn't even work if I run it locally on my machine.

My Server is not visible in the LAN-Tab, neither on the Internet-Tab.

[bigsteve 378]

Could something be blocking your steam query port, ISP or some other program?  

 

  server is starting up and shutting down fine. So your config is fine.

 

 

 

[JackswastedlifeLP 0]

Yeah, the config should be fine.

I can basically say I've tried every combination (I worked on it for 7-8h yesterday).

 

I can't tell if my ISP is blocking anything, but I can't imagine it, as I had a lot of steam-servers running over the same Query-ports (Life is Feudal, CS:GO, Terraria, a bunch of Minecraft Servers, Farming simulator '15, The Forest... sometimes all of these Servers were running simultanously without errors)

 

Taken from my first post:

[2015-12-02 15:17:16] [0,0] StartAutoReconnect() will start in 7 seconds
[2015-12-02 15:17:23] [1,12] Connect() starting connection (eNetQOSLevelMedium, 162.254.197.40:27019, UDP)
[2015-12-02 15:17:29] [1,0] ConnectFailed('Connection Failed':0) (0.0.0.0:0, UDP)
[2015-12-02 15:17:29] [0,0] StartAutoReconnect() will start in 5 seconds

 

I think, that's the big problem here.

As I see it here, it tries to call valves query-port (the first bold part)

The second bold part confuses me, either it calls it and gets rejected (thus cannot open a connection --> opening into the abyss 0.0.0.0:0), or it says it wants to open a connection to valves port, but instead tries to open the abyssal 0.0.0.0:0 instead for whatever reason.

[JackswastedlifeLP 0]

Is there any Dev gonna answer here, or am I basically screwed and wasted my money?

[urban 85]

Just a quick question do you have any kind of firewall on your computer that could be blocking it. Try turning off all firewalls and any firewall your antivirus software might have and see if this is the issue.

 

[JackswastedlifeLP 0]

Yeah, I did that already. It was my first guess, so-to-say.

In the meantime I kinda narrowed it down. It's an issue in the connection between the Server-Software and the Steam-Lobby, the server is supposed log onto.

 

I've also eliminated the possibility with the isp. An MTR-Trace I made earlier, indicates there's no connection error between the Root-Server and the Steam-Servers.

 

So all I can do now, is to wait and hope for a fix in the server software -.-

[Keenan 5,539]

So I did a bit of searching and found others with other dedicated servers having the same issue, but nothing really solid. The line you bolded seems to be a standard log entry when Steam fails to connect, not indicating that it tried to connect to 0.0.0.0:0. Also, setting your external or internal IP addresses won't do much. Steam's connections are handled by their own library, not Wurm Unlimited.

 

Judging by everything you've said here, check to see how many network adapters are listed on your system and disable all but your Local Area Network. I've had reports in the past that Steam can sometimes bind to the wrong adapter, resulting in an issue like this. If that's not it, a few questions:

 

Have you tried your other dedicated servers lately to see if it's a Steam issue?

 

Do you have any anti-virus software running?

 

Is this a new issue or have you never had WU Server running on this system?

 

[JackswastedlifeLP 0]

Hi Keenan and thanks,

 

I've double-checked and I've only got 1 Network Adapter. The Ethernet-Adapter for my external connections.

A local-network-adapter won't help, as I have to run it dedicated (no graphics-card on the root - it just has to host the stuff).

 

- Jep, I've had one CS:GO Server and a Farming Simulator 15 Server up and running yesterday (They both connect to the Valve-Server through the Query-Ports).

- Anti-Virus-Software is not installed, just the Windows Firewall (I check every file on my local PC before I sent them to my root via FTP). I also completely deactivated the Firewall for testing - no difference.

- I've had a WU-Server kind of "semi-running". The server was visible in the browser but people couldn't connect to it (Message on the client-side: "Connection timed out: connect"), until it just completely stopped without further notice, indication, or a change of settings.

IPv6 enabled by chance? If it is, disable it.

 

I'm running out of ideas. About to get some sleep, I can check back in a few hours and see if I have any fresh thoughts.

[JackswastedlifeLP 0]

Unfortunately this didn't do the trick.

IPv6 was enabled, but disabling it, didn't fix it either. Can't picture why I didn't think of disabling that dreaded IPv6 anyway... tunnel-vision from the constant failure?

 

Sleep well

[JackswastedlifeLP 0]

So as I see it, noone else got a solution to this and no dev likes to look at it?

 

Well then...thanks, I'm off to play LiF again

[JackswastedlifeLP 0]

Just a 'lil heads up, for anyone who might have the same problems. I've finally worked out the Issue.

Turns out, there was another Server (Space Engineers) running, who hogged all query ports for Steam (Every Query-Port between 27000 to 27050).

 

This particular Server also creeped itself into the autostart process on my Root-Server, so a mere restart of the server did not solve the port-blocking issue after all.

Seriously, this SpaceEngineers-dedicated should be blacklisted by virus-software...

 

So issue is solved. Thanks to the fine people, who tried to help me, although I'm still a bit sad, no dev wanted to take a look at this issue.

 

The thread is ready for closure.
