Players unable to access server

Author Topic: Players unable to access server  (Read 591 times)

Server is not able to be joined. Players with this issue cite a ping of '---'.
Thanks in advance.


Based on this information:
Code: [Select]
Line 277:   Binding server port to default IP
Line 278:   UDP initialized on port 57718
Line 279:   Starting client steam authentication...
Line 280:   Engine initialized...
Line 281:   Received stats and achievements from Steam
Code: [Select]
Line 397:   Starting Internet Server
Line 398:   Binding server port to default IP
Line 399:   UDP initialized on port 28000

It looks that by default, blockland is starting to run on port 57718, but it also wants to run on port 28000.
Here are things you can do to fix it:
Solution: 1. Port Forward. Summary:
Open a Web browser, type your Default Gateway number into the address bar, and press Enter. 2. Enter your username and password to access your router's interface. The default username and password should be listed in your router's documentation, on a sticker on the side of your router, or on the Port Forward website.

Solution: 2. Manually change the port to which blockland will run at, to the port that your exe tries to use:
Since it looks like your dedicated server is trying to use port 57718, what you will want to do, is:
1. Make sure that your firewall is open to both ports 28000 and port 57718.
2. Open your blockland server
3. Put this in your server console:
Code: [Select]
$Pref::Server::Port = "Your Port"; Or in your case:
Code: [Select]
$Pref::Server::Port = "57718";4. Put this in your console, to correctly close the server and save the pref: (If we do not do this command, the server will not close correctly and potentially not save the pref)
5. reopen the server and hope that it worked.
Code: [Select]
quit();
Solution: 3. Wait it out. If worst comes to worst, and none of the things here help you, you can always try and wait it out. I've had similar problems on my server, and waiting it out usually works.. I know it's a bs solution, but it will (probably) work after time. Idk why, don't ask me.
