I looked this up I ran the conan server on my second pc. I saw a thread saying i need to change the ports but doing that made my port check go from green to red and when I get on my computer I find my server but when I try to join I get no error only I have infinate loading then it says can’t connect to servewr? I spent 2 hours trying to make sure my port forwarding and all exes are in my inbound and oputbound set right. .I get it my other pc has same IP perhaps that is why ?
changing my port did not help I don’t reun multiple servers but even trying that failed . Perhaps I am doing something wrong but I swear I ffollowed the guid to the T.
I had the same issue and it was solved by using the direct connect button and using the internal IP (192.168.x.x) and password.
As the list connection is made by tunnel, you cant connect to a server in a list if it is not accessible via Internet. If it is using your LAN address you need to use direct connect.
If you use something like a VPN (I used to use Open VPN), you can set up a way in which not only you can use the list, but someone elsewhere can connect to your local server. But it requires some tech savviness for it.
ahh so I add port at end of IP? Really supper sorry for my ignorance. I mean I know before steam implimented their silly dll file thing I could host my server on my same pc. But now I have the chance to use a second pc this all feels really new.
I never used a vpn to be honest I like to consider myself pretty decant with a pc as I built my own but of course there is always room to learn more.
I just get confused on software a bit. I will give that a try the direct connection
So do I use my IP address? the long one?
I have all the exes in inbound and outboud and everything in firewall. all 4 lights accept recon lit green I still can not connect on my other pc. . I get connection timed out could not find server. I see it in the list and the worse and more dumbest thing is conan says my server ping is 9999 . how that is with a gb down and 40 up and intel processor of 4.5 ghz and 16 gbs of memory and my gpu on that machine is 2070. it’s friggin silly
I understand Rigultru thanks so much for trying to help. it seems I am a lost cause lols
When it is local, ping 9999 in the list is not a problem. If direct connect works, the server is ok. What prevents from connecting using the list is not the server, it is the routing.
hmm I tried everything.
I set my inbound added conansandbox,steamcmd, and the launcher to inbound and outbound and made sure all was in my allow apps in firewall.
I added the ports to my port forwarding
I feel like I missed something idk.
my port forward . I just kind of gave it up . I been so tired of trying to figure out what I could be doing wrong … lol
I do have to put it pout there my other pc is a laptop which had a 4.3 to 5.0 ghz processor that could be it even though it doesn’t seem to break a sweat
I copied and pasted the IP from the Launcher then clicked direct connect Before coming here I clicked on it in the list. However I used direct connect
Not sure if this helps.Also does it matter where the launcher is saved? I seem to have windows telling me I can;t save a file in my own dang hard drive saying I don’t have admin rights even though I am admin rofl . So I removed it from my programs(86) and put it in same catagory as the program files
I gave that a try. Did not work. I deleted all my inbounds and outbound made multiple ones in both under any then UDP and TCP . made sure all was added to my allowed apps as well…
I double checked my port forwarding I have all in udpo but then thought maybe I should put the 27015 as udp/TCP but nothing?. I honestly Thank you and other for trying to help me. I don’t think at this point this can be resolved.
Everyone here who responded is amazing. Thank you Rigultrufor being patient and giving it another shot.I am sorry for any frusterations over my issue I caused.
Could be Thank you so much
