Server Server Refusing To Start

[Vendettxs]

Hello tripwire forums! I am trying to start my server running off of my own hosted VM (Not running off of my Desktop, but a server I have in my house). I have the most recent update from SteamCMD and all files are verified accordingly. For testing purposes my Windows Server 2012 R2 firewall is disabled but i have exceptions in the firewall for the selected ports needed. I also have ports 7777, 8080, 27015, 7779, and 20560 forwarded through my router/modem. When attempting to start the server via a batch file using the command: start .\Binaries\Win64\VNGame.exe VNSU-SongBe?MaxPlayers=64?EnableWebAdmin=true?WebAdminP ort=8080?AdminPassword=thisismypassword -log=ServerLog.log -UNATTENDED my server is listed on LAN but I cannot connect to the server, it just refuses to connect to host. I also cannot access WebAdmin even though it IS enabled both by the command and by the ROWeb.ini config file. Below is a log of the server attempting to start... Have been attempting multiple solutions all day with no luck of a fix. Thank you all for your support!

Fixed after I updated the # of processors and bumped the Memory up. Also rebooted server and changed bat file command to: start .\Binaries\win64\VNGame.exe VNSU-SongBe?Port=7777?MaxPlayers=32?AdminPassword=passowrdhere?EnableWebAdmin=true?WebAdminPort=8080 -log=ServerLog.log -UNATTENDED ...for anyone who needed a solution to this similar problem!

why do you have port 7779 open too?

Just for testing purposes. Now i'm having an issue where my server was running with players in it but i restarted it due to updates and now when people try to join it try's to join my internal IP and not my external so nobody can connect. I have 7777 forwarded.

They try to join you from Steam friends list? if so, they can't because it lists your local IP as your game/Steam knows it is a local server. Give them your IP and ask them to type OPEN IP.IP.IP.IP in console (F3 or % to open it) or let them join by server browser. Also you need 7777 27015 and 20560 to be opened and forwarded to your server.
You can use -MultiHome=IP.IP.IP.IP in the command line to specify the external IP to use/bind the game server on.

Actually all I had to do was set ServerName to my public address in ROWeb.ini and that fixed the issue.

Makes sense what you're saying about joining from my friends list. And I'll add that command into my bat file. Thanks for the great support!
