Dedicated Service Issue not showing after 1.0 release
Is anyone else having issues with their own dedicated server running through SteamCMD.
I have run update
I have restarted server
When I try to Direct connect using IP it just kicks me out to main screen after I type in the password. I see in the server I login and disconnect.

Same here. Pasting this from my Reddit post in case others can help with troubleshooting:
-I was able to update the SotF Dedicated Server tool via Steam's application (just downloaded it like the normal game). No change.
-I ran SteamCMD, logged in anonymously, and ran "app_update 2465200 validate". Update successful, but no change.
-dedicatedserver.cfg has always had "SkipNetworkAccessibilityTest": true; setting it to false gives the same "port is closed. Please fix and restart".
-dedicatedserver.cfg has always had "IpAddress": "0.0.0.0"; setting it to my public-facing IP gives me
-System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'udpEventStartFailed' to type 'UdpEventStartDone'.
-Inbound and outbound ports are still present
-Public-facing IP has not changed, and my friend can still ping me
i mean if it says port closed then the port is closed
This is a known bug. Despite all port troubleshooting with the Windows Firewall and ISP's port forwarding, SotFDS would report that all 3 are closed. The solution is to set SkipNetworkAccessibilityTest to true. After that, the server was instantly found by users outside the network.
I guess I got lucky
not so lucky with the devs not having any documentation though
Imagine having detailed guides from the people who actually made it 🙃
i guess im just happy we have dedicated servers at all
couldve easily been a coop p2p game only
