I'm not having any issues running the server on Ubuntu here. But here is a test. Make sure you have your wan IP and your port in launch. Make sure you are still logged out of steam on your primary PC as well as steamcmd. Under these conditions people will be able to connect to your server with no problems. Now log on to steam on your gaming pc - now players can no longer connect through "join game" like you described. And I want to clarify that this is ONLY when running the server on your home network while using steam on another PC on same network - this isn't a rental or dedicated server issue.
And as far as the dynamic IP issue, to my knowledge there are no steam games that let u use a dns record as your steam IP. I used to run servers from home on FIOS and my IP would only change 1-2 per year, but I still tried everything imaginable to solve that problem without purchasing a static IP. Years ago you could do a redirect server but those were disabled even b4 the OB update for CS:S. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of lam arnold Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 12:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Csgo_servers] Problems with players connecting I think connecting to my server is no longer a problem. But connecting with Join game is a problem. Players got stuck in loading screen and they get connection failed after 10 retries. And then, I asked them to check my game info, everything is fine. The ip is my public ip adress and the correct port number. People have said add +ip 0.0.0.0 in startup. That makes the problem even worst. The ip will appear as 0.0.0.0:27015. As I dont have a static ip address... I need to use DNS records. The problem is I can't use my domain as ip. Players won't be able to connect and server keeps on restart every 10 seconds. Setting up a CS:GO server is the hardest among other source games. Especially in Linux. I am currently using Ububtu 12.04 LTS with several game servers running. _______________________________________________ Csgo_servers mailing list [email protected] https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/csgo_servers _______________________________________________ Csgo_servers mailing list [email protected] https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/csgo_servers
