Hosting Problem - Server is dead.

[Tolster]

Just in short:
My server appears as dead.
Just to clear most things out., I could host before v14.
I tested turning on UPnP both on the router and BL, Doesn't work.
Tried with ordinary Port-Forward and having UPnP disabled in BL, didn't work.

So i'm pretty clueless here, help?

Same happened to me, idk how
I even port forwarded.

what kind of i-net do you have

[Peejster]

It seems it's just a problem with certain routers.
The server appears dead, but can still be joined by some people.

[Tolster]

This pisses me off.
Really.

And som1, what do you mean with what kind of internet?
I have wired, if it's that what you mean.

cable, dial up, or a LAN Router

My server worked fine in v15, but when I reinstalled the game a few weeks after v15 came out it stopped working...

Re-Install BL. I'm not sure what else would help.


Most of my problems are solved by re-installing.

We have a LAN Router, but i doesn't think that would change anything.

Re-Install BL. I'm not sure what else would help.

Alright, will try.

How do you know it's dead? If it has a ping of "---" that doesn't mean it's dead.

[Tolster]

I asked if someone could connect to my server, but they couldn't.

I used to but I port forwarded and had UPnP enabled, and that is the only way it worked.
