multiplayer issue

[Michael Tobin]

Hi i could use a bit of help. I have been using dedicated servers for months with no issues but as of yesterday i can't seem to find my own one anymore. I know it is up and running but when i go into the launcher it just doesn't seem to be there. It has been working for ages so all the ports are open and i have no idea what would cause this to change. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do you use a static IP for the PC running the server?

If not:

At my home network 99% of the times my PC starts with the same IP to forward on the router. But sometimes it changes. With the issue you discribe.

A change in the firewall might be the issue too.

Gijs you are a legend, my ip had changed just like you said. That was wrecking my head all yesterday and today and couldn't figure out what went wrong. Thanks mate

i think i spoke too soon, i can see the server now in the launcher but the problem now is when i go to join it after a couple of seconds it says server connection failed! any more pearls of wisdom?
