A18 Dedicated Server (Fails to show in server listing)

[Spoutinwyze]

Background:

-Created server fine. (Originally listed fine in servers list.)

-Added Alloc's fixes and CBSM. Worked fine.

-Added Myself as admin, worked fine.

 

Issue:

-Next day Server no longer showing in list and can only connect via IP directly.

 

Troubleshooting:

-Rebuilt server 3 times with various configs and the furthest point I can get back to is direct IP and server not showing in list. Please note, I have performed extensive config changes, variations and testing. To save time, I have checked the public setting, disable network protocols and ports liberally opened, and have every combination of these available options to my recollection. Have used on 3 different pc's, have reinstalled and verified library approx 4-5 times between the 3 pc's. ISP says they dont block anything.

Happy to re-try any suggestions.

 

Technical Details:

Below I post for confirmation, my server and router configs, omitting only private details.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm creating another test machine in a virtual environment under the separate steam account (bote: SteamCMD fails to launch on multiple p[cs so this doesn't appear to be an option).

Router ports Opened

(Rule name/Public Range/Private Range/Protocol):

7dtdAdmin 8080~8081 8080~8081 TCP

 

7dtdAlloc 8082~8082 8082~8082 TCP

TELNET 23~23 8080~8080 TCP/UDP

Window Firewall: Disabled, allow all traffic on all ports

Antivirus: Disabled

Have also performed testing within a DMZ

Note: UPNP disabled (this was causing huge grief and I couldn't even load into game via IP until I disabled UPNP)

You have: <property name="ServerVisibility" value="0"/>

 

This should be "2" for a public server.
