Hello,

I finally got the dedicated server downloaded and working, however...

it does not show up on the ESF server list, EVER... I have no idea why and I have looked at many different ways of fixing it..

I have the port 27015 forwarded, and firewall disabled..

still nothing.


Help?

Make sure sv_lan is set to 0. Also, please decide which account you wish to use. You currently have 2 forum accounts, Lekan and LekanAF.

How are NONE of the devs of this game AWARE of this situation happening to 90% of their player base...

they realize people aren't playing BECAUSE THEY CANT EVEN MAKE A SERVER........ yet do nothing???

Maybe your ISP blocks the possibility of you opening ports (mine does)

But now you bought a server and let's hope we can get that running.

Mmm, where do you try to run the server?

I have the same problem if i want to run it in the same machine that i have Steam.

If you have other pc, try in that pc xd.

edit: or use a virtual machine, but it's more tricky...

What kind of OS do you have ?
What kind of (security/) software do you have installed ?
What kind of router do you have ?
Did you try to host your server to a port other than the default one ?
Did you try to host your server with settting the external ip (net_ip), if so, did you try hosting it without setting it?

Call your ISP, sometimes they block it for security reason and want money for you to be able to open ports, hypocrisy?:D

answer me, you have Steam on the pc where you want to run the server?

hlds.exe + Steam = Server will not show on the list.

Classified.
I assume you have internet via cable. What is the exact model number of you modem? Are there any devices between your computer and the modem? If so, what are their model numbers?

/edit: Oh yeah, and while we're at it: If you are able to, please post a screenshot of the port forwards you configured.

Please also note that this is in no way a problem with ESF, but rather with network servers (of any kind) in general. There's also no way to fix it in ESF.
