I changed my server to kain (3). and i got a complaint that people could not get passed server select screen. This could cause this code below could cause this issue yes?

Code: Select all

# This is the server ID that the Game Server will request.# Example: 1 = Bartz# Default: 1RequestServerID = 1

I changed it to 3, but i have to wait for someone to try to log in again to see if it worked.
All my IPs are correct in config file. My protocol rev. is min 12 and max 833. The code above could be why people couldnt get passed server screen, right?

if you changed it when server was running, you have to restart the server.

thanks janiii,

I restarted server, still waiting to see if that fixed the issue. i could log in fine, even when others couldn't.

I forgot to add in original post that also my ports are forwarded correctly. That code above is all i could come up with that could be the problem. But its just a guess, its obvious that it was not right, but will it fix the problem..hope so it would cause people trying to log in externally to not be able to get to server...right?

I believe your problem lies elsewhere. In my server properties file, it is set to 1 as default too but my server hexid is set to 45 for "BlackBird" and have no issue getting past the gameserver select menu. You may want to re-check the following areas:

1. verify both loginserver and gameserver uses the same WAN IP.
2. verify you are connecting to the gameserver using the WAN IP in your host file and not the internal IP (since you are able to sign into it).
3. verify that your WAN IP has not changed if you do not have static IP.
4. verify that your firewall is not blocking the gameserver port 7777.
5. verify that your Windows firewall is disabled (if using windows), or any other 3rd party firewall is disabled.

See if any of those helps.

thanks lishawj. I was pretty confedent in my prediction, and you killed it...lol. But that is good, i needed to know the truth

1. verify both loginserver and gameserver uses the same WAN IP. Check. both login and gameserver have same WAN ips.

2. verify you are connecting to the gameserver using the WAN IP in your host file and not the internal IP (since you are able to sign into it). I removed the localhost ip from host file, and still connect w/o a problem.

3. verify that your WAN IP has not changed if you do not have static IP. whatismyip.com says its still the same.

4. verify that your firewall is not blocking the gameserver port 7777. Ports are forwarded through router with right PC ip.

5. verify that your Windows firewall is disabled (if using windows), or any other 3rd party firewall is disabled. Windows firewall is disabled.

Okay its not everyone, only some people trying to connect from outside, get stuck at server select. In the past when this happened it was usually a protocol issue, which is why i am now at min 12 max 833. Any other reasons only a select few would not be able to get in?. I have given instructions to make sure host files are correct, and to make sure their client is fully updated.

If you're still having issue with that then please try using the default of only 83 for both min and max protocol and see if that helps.
