Author Topic: Posting to master server throws errors  (Read 735 times)

When I try to host a server wireless, it works perfectly fine without even having a static IP.

When I try to host a server with ethernet cable connected to router, I get errors "unknown command delete" and "unknown command connect" every time the game attempts to post to master server.

Is there a fix which is not going wireless?

It is possible your IPv4 settings differ between your wireless and ethernet adapter.
Go check it like this:


It is also possible (although doubtful) that your router is configured differently between wireless and ethernet.
Like a firewall with stronger security for ethernet connections.
Which would be weird since wireless is more vulnerable and usually gets the better protection.

Also make sure you are connecting to the wifi from the router you are plugging your ethernet cable in.
It is possible you are actually using the wifi from your neighbours and your router is not yet configured properly.
It might sound stupid, but I have seen it happen.

Yeah, the settings were different. I set it to dynamic IP to both, but only wireless works still.
I know I need a static IP to port forward, but strangely enough I port forward on wireless just fine as long as I reconfig the port properly every time.

Doesn't seem to be like it here.

That's definitely not happening.

Wrong. I have a dynamic IP, and I still needed to port forward.

Bumping this because it's still not resolved. UPnP works just as fine on wired connection, but port forwarding is non-functional.

I'll try setting same static IP to both types. Until then, if anyone has dealt with this before, you can respond.

I've had this related issue when I had a double router (Century link + NetGear)

If you have a double router it can definitely be fixed (Do you have a double router?)

If you do not have a double router you should get a new router.

When I try to host a server with ethernet cable connected to router, I get errors "unknown command delete" and "unknown command connect" every time the game attempts to post to master server.

This is an engine-level issue. Sometimes when objects are created, they don't inherit their own basic functions. The object technically exists but is essentially useless as it can't do anything but be referenced. The fact that it correlates with how you're connected to your network is odd.
