can't connect remotely to my dedicated UT2004 server

[swapjim]

I'm trying to setup a UT2004 dedicated server and I can't figure out what am I doing wrong. The goal is to have friends can join with my IP address or my dynamic DNS hostname.

I'm running the dedicated server on the same computer I'm running my own client, a PC running Windows 10 LTSC. I've been able to connect on 127.0.0.1 but not remotely. I've forwarded ports 7777-7778,27015,27031-27036,28902. As a test, I managed to connect through my external IP on a web server I set up on this computer, as well as ioquake3 (an open source port of the Quake3 engine).

This is probably a firewall issue but I'm already doing all the things that I can think of, so I'm looking for some pointers.

I'm including the command I use to start the server, my config, and the log file.

The command:

Code: Select all

ucc server ONS-Torlan?game=Onslaught.ONSOnslaughtGame ini=server.ini log=server.log

The config:

Code: Select all

[EvilGrins]

A little outside of my field, but the company behind the entire Unreal series announced last year they'd be discontinuing a lot of the Unreal/UT games' MASTER SERVERS...

...which I may be explaining poorly.

Is it possible ut2004 was one of those that was discontinued?

Check this thread - viewtopic.php?t=15589

[OjitroC]

Yes

Code: Select all

Log: Resolving master0.gamespy.com...
Log: Resolving ut2004master1.epicgames.com...

Neither of those exist anymore, hence the inability to connect to them.

[swapjim]

From my understanding, the Epic master servers are needed to locate dedicated servers to connect to, which is not my case. In my case I know the IP of the dedicated and I want clients over the internet to connect to it. Are master servers needed for that?

[Buggie]

I've forwarded ports 7777-7778,27015,27031-27036,28902

ScriptLog: UdpServerQuery(crt): Port 7787 successfully bound.

Not all ports forwarded.

Also. If

I've been able to connect on 127.0.0.1 but not remotely

It an be sign of bound to different interface.
Use TcpView for look exactly on which IPs which ports bounds: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysin ... ds/tcpview

On UT99 you need specify -multihome=1.2.3.4 param, for make server bound to desire interface. ut2004 too support this switch.

If on TcpView show 0.0.0.0:7777 it fine too, usually.

About EpicMaster servers, you need use 333nw or openspy.

Better 333nw.

Openspy:

There exists mod: https://github.com/0xC0ncord/MasterServerMirror
Which must help you report uplink to both masterservers: 333nw and openspy in same time.

This is probably a firewall issue but I'm already doing all the things that I can think of, so I'm looking for some pointers.

I such cases I disable the firewall temporarily and see if it works then. Also - if your router has this feature - you can enable "expose host" to test connectivity. I recommend setting both to normal after testing.

[swapjim]

Not all ports forwarded.

I've added port 7787 to the list. I'm now forwarding ports 7777-7778,7787,27015,27031-27036,28902.

It an be sign of bound to different interface. Use TcpView for look exactly on which IPs which ports bounds

TcpView shows as 0.0.0.0 but I still can't connect to it remotely:

I then tried the multihome parameter:

Code: Select all

ucc server ONS-Torlan?game=Onslaught.ONSOnslaughtGame ini=server.ini log=server.log -multihome=my-external-IP

And I got this:

Does this help?

I've done this on Windows and I'm still trying to figure out how I can do this on my Edgerouter-X as well.

And I got this:

Code: Select all

Dedicated server can't listen: WinSock: binding to port 7777 failed (13642904)

That usually means that the port is in use already. Is another instance of UCC.EXE running?

[Buggie]

IP what you specify must belong your PC, not your router.
I think you try use external ip of your router. In such case you not need use any ip. 0.0.0.0 is pretty fine.

But you can't connect to server by external ip from inside internal network. So for play on server, anyone inside internal network (before your router), mut sue internal IP.
And who located outside network must use external IP of router. It is how NAT work.

Packets from internal network, targeted to external IP can't reach your server. but even if can, answer packets for sure can't be send back to source.
So: inside - internal IP, outside - external IP.

Is it similar to this one? Maybe a screenshot of Router's settings helps.

Only one instance of UCC.exe is running. I onlt get this error when I add the -multihome=my-external-IP parameter.

I asked from a friend to connect (from their home, and thus an different external IP) and they couldn't.

Thank you taking the time to look this up. The link describes how to do port-forwarding, which I've already done. I have found this post that completely disables the firewall.

[Buggie]

Try use online tools which check op/closed port for specific IP. Provider can close access to some ports. For example lower from some value.

So you can try also change port to more high value (+forward to it) and check again.

[swapjim]

I don't know if it matters but I wanted to leave a message for anyone else facing this problem. I tried with another home router and it worked. There is some setting on the Edgerouter that prevents me from opening that port. The Ubiquiti is the right place to ask for this.

Thanks to everyone that responded on the thread!
