Connection to server failed: Connection timed out Issue

[dantechcom]

So today seems many people I know are having problems connecting to most public servers. Starts to connect and then times out.

Alpha 19.3 b6, Windows 10 64bit

 

I have already tried:

rebooting the pc

restarting the router

checked ports and even disabled the firewall

uninstalled and reinstalled both 7 days to die and steam

validated files

tried on a second computer

 

The following is my windows client output log, please help.

Did you play multiplayer before and it worked?

 

If yes to question 1: Did anything change in your local setup? New version of 7D2D, big windows patch, installation of mods,

 

Did you try more than one server?

 

One interesting thing from your logfile: The server seems to be using a non-default port 26930 and the connection with default LiteNetLib seems to fail immediately because it can't connect to that port. Default port is 26903. Did you enter that number yourself and maybe just transposed digits?

 

You might try to use a network utility to simply check if you can reach that specific IP and port and see if it looks open to the utility.

I tried connecting to that server and they have updated to 19.4 and the port has changed. So that's likely why you can't connect.

 

See here for updated server info.
