Hello, I just got the game to play with my kids. I read that you can host a server and play off the same box, like I do in Ark. I came across the server launcher, and it seems to support they theory. But for me it isn’t working, and I am sure i didn’t set something up correctly. Here is how i do it:
I launch the launcher first with Steam closed, then the launcher. The launcher loads wit no errors on 27015 7777. On that attempt NO servers show up.
Second attempt, I launch the launcher then Steam with port 27016 7777 and i see ALL servers, except for my own created LAN server. LOL
Any thoughts what i am doing wrong? I forgot I also tried to click multihome but when i open Steam, it looks like it unchecks multihome. Like i said it may be something I did incorrectly, it just seemed less intuitive than the server manager I am used to with Ark.
Thank you for trying to help!. I see I am setup very similar to you, except I see the dot next to your server is green, and mine is yellow after launch. I wonder if mine really isn’t on.
That’s the server of another user, I was trying to make the connection between you and that thread. @Toolguy has answered me there, so he’s still active. As I understand it from that thread, the version should not make a difference, but in my experience you want to be running the latest candidate, which you are.
If I have the opportunity I will try and create your environment. My trouble is all my servers are dedicated machines on which I’d never run CE, either alone or dually. I hope you can find a solution, because I know several people who will also benefit. Glad you’re enjoying your family time!
Thank you Barnes. That’s very nice of you to try to recreate. I see other folks’ servers so i am hoping it’s a stupid setting or something. I wish it was as easy as the one for Ark, at least for me. LOL
