Hi all, new here!
I convinced a couple buddies to get the game and wanted to setup an online server we can play on. I have setup a few servers for other games so I have been through the check list a couple times.
For some reason, it just refuses to work and after doing a fair amount of research I can't seem to find a solution that works. I tested with my brother and it worked via LAN but under the online server list it seems to have connection problems.
What I have done is the following:
Created rules for firewalls, tried both windows firewall as well as BitDefender firewall, as well as with both turned off.
Ports 9600 (default port) on UDP/TCP and HTTP on 8081 (also default). HTTP port pinged fine.
From a couple suggestions here, tried 9600 in TCP and 9601 on UDP with 8410 on HTTP. HTTP pinged fine once more but no change.
I attached the entry list and server config and snips of what it looks like in the AC launcher and AC Content Manager. I included a log of the server running for a bit, error log was empty although I know it works when I did something wrong earlier. I noted that the public JSON events are much smaller than the LAN JSON events if that makes sense. The LAN hits, that is shown near the end of the log, show a bit more info than the public hits.
DISCLAIMER: I can't run the server from the server manager as the bat file does not work, something to do with the code its using to output the log. I created another bat file the runs the executable but with hardcoded log paths and it works fine.
Anyway, hoping for some advice. Thanks!
