Server Not Showing in list

[rallye 89]

Hey guys, I am trying to first run my server, and had no issues getting it running. At least until I tried to locate it in the ARMA II server browser.

For the first run I named it TESTSERVER, and I did see one person join it, but when I look myself I cannot for the life of me find it, nor direct connect to it. :huh:

Providing an IP and port number would be more reliable to help us figure out what is going on. :)

[rallye 89]

Oh sure thing, 96.234.66.254 port 2302

[howichrgelazer 69]

Okay, so I do not see it running. Make sure you have port forwarding done in your firewall on the machine and as well as your router if you have control of it. Also make sure the server started on the machine okay (ie. you see the arma 2 oa console running and it's not spamming reading DayZ mission from bank)

Thanks for the reply,

I have opened the ports, and it is not spamming the console. The last line is

21:33:06 Host identity created.

Which tells me it is waiting for someone to connect. I did see early today,

Player XXX has joined

Battleye GUID XXXXX

etc

but I like you still cannot find the server.

We had a similar issue when first getting our server running. For some reason, it would not show in the stock Arma II server browser. However, we were able to find it and join it using the Six Launcher. Weird.

Interestingly, since then, it shows in Arma 2 browser and Six Launcher.

Try see if you can find and join it with Six Launcher.

I'm pinging it through HLSW, I haven't seen it come up since I added it. Which means it hasn't shown up yet on the IP and port you provided me. Are you sure it's launching on 2302 and binding to the right external IP?

reportingIP = "arma2oapc.master.gamespy.com";		// For Arma2: Operation Arrowhead

Make sure your server config has this line and remove the // in front of reportingIP.

I tried the six launcher and still no luck.

@HowIChrgeLazer

I am certain of the IP and port. I also have that line verbatim in my cfg file.

From my BAT

"-mod=EXPANSION\beta;EXPANSION\beta\Expansion;EXPANSION;ca;@dayz;@hive" "-ip=96.234.66.254" "-port=2302"

I added the quotes as I was getting a port error. This solution was found on these boards.

[howichrgelazer 69]

Yeah I still haven't seen it come up. Does it say port 2302 on the console window?

[rallye 89]

Yes it does,

The title bar shows, ArmA 2 OA Console version 1.6 : port 2302 - SOckets

[howichrgelazer 69]

Hrrrm, yeah I'm not seeing a game server on 96.234.66.254:2302. So I would double check everything is installed correctly, all the right ports are opened in the windows firewall as well as the router. Also make sure you've got the 2005, 2008, 2010 vcredists installed for your OS.

[rallye 89]

It's very strange because I normally run a Crysis Wars server from this box without issue. I am quite confused.

[rallye 89]

So I left it running this morning, take my dog to the vet and I come back to this.

10:56:41 Dedicated host created.

10:56:41 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.126)

11:12:45 Player EVANDRO connected (id=XXXXXX).

11:12:45 BattlEye Server: Player #0 EVANDRO (X.X.X.X:X) connected

11:12:46 BattlEye Server: Player #0 EVANDRO - GUID: XXXXXXX(unverified)

11:12:46 Player EVANDRO disconnected.

11:12:46 BattlEye Server: Player #0 EVANDRO (XXXXXX) has been kicked by BattlEye: Invalid GUID

12:08:39 Player Hermanas connecting.

12:08:40 Player Hermanas connected (id=XXXX).

12:08:40 BattlEye Server: Player #0 Hermanas (X.X.X.X:X) connected

12:08:40 BattlEye Server: Player #0 Hermanas - GUID: XXXXXXXX(unverified)

12:08:40 Player Hermanas disconnected.

12:08:40 BattlEye Server: Player #0 Hermanas (XXXXXXX) has been kicked by BattlEye: Invalid GUID

So these two were able to see my server, yet I cannot find it in SixLauncher or the ARMA II browser....or direct connect using the ARMA II browser.

Just add the server process to your firewall.
