Game mode: Online private/Unofficial dedicated server
Type of issue: Performance/Bug
Server type: PVP, PVE; doesn’t matter
Region: North America
No one can connect to my server, (which was working/running fine before the june patches and the implementation of FuncomLiveServices).
The server shows up in the server list, and if you try to connect to it, you’ll get an authentication failed error.
If you try to direct connect to the server, you will get an authentication failed error.
If you try to connect via steam server page, you will get an authentication failed error.
No, I am not using the same computer to host and play.
No, I am not connecting via LAN/multihome. Doesn’t matter; Other players can’t connect either.
I created a brand new Conan Exiles server using the Dedicated Server Launcher, NO MODS, FRESH DOWNLOAD. Made sure all the correct ports are open in both firewall, router, etc.
Anyone that tries to connect to the server will get Authentication Failed over and over and over.
The server log consistently come up with “LogFuncomLiveServicesError: VerifyIdentity Failed: Request Timeout or null response” for anyone that tries to connect. <–Betting this is the issue!
Start an Ark server with the same ports; no issues, others can connect.
Start a Minecraft server with the same ports; no issues, others can connect.
Start a Rust server with the same ports; no issues, others can connect.
Start a Dark and Light server with the same ports; no issues, others can connect.
Check ports are open at canyouseeme . org. Yeah, they’re visible.
Check ports are open with DedicatedSertverLauncher. Yeah, they’re visible.
Try different ports, both Game Client ports and Steam Query ports. No difference, still authentication failed errors.
Verified that none of the other devices on the network were using the ports (but since the server has a a static local ip and port forwarding is directed to that machine only, it shouldn’t have made a difference (aka: no other machine on the network has ports forwarded in the router)).
Try the server with different options turned on/off.
Battleye on/off ; No difference, still authentication failed errors.
VAC on/off ; No difference, still authentication failed errors.
Multihome on/off ; No difference, still authentication failed errors.
Firewall completely disabled ; No difference, still authentication failed errors.
Antivirus completely disabled ; No difference, still authentication failed errors.
Firewall AND Antivirus disabled ; No difference, still authentication failed errors.
Every combination of every possible setting you can enable/disable : Time consuming, and no difference. Still authentication failed on connection.
Flush DNS, checked windows host files for any odd changes… Nothing.
Validated server files; No change.
Completely deleted everything Conan Exiles Server related, re-downloaded, re-setup, re-went through all the same troubleshooting with No change in results.
I can host 4+ other dedicate game servers using the EXACT SAME PORTS with zero connection issues, people can connect just fine.
My CONAN EXILES SERVER was WORKING before the June updates.
I have to assume that this issue has something to do with FuncomLiveServices, as every time someone tries to connect, I get “LogFuncomLiveServicesError: VerifyIdentity Failed: Request Timeout or null response” error, and the server was working fine before FuncomLiveServices were implemented.
