GameServer.LogOn timed out issues - no player can connect my dedicated server.

[cistehovado]

 

I started dedicated server, forwarded ports, (26900-26910) but server still goes to time out. (see last row from log). It is pretty annoying, tried clean install of server even with default configuration (nothing changed) but still - GameServer.LogOn timed out, playet who want to join ends with message: waiting for Steam verification.
Any help please?

Complete log from console, I noticed weird path ...Data\/Navezgane... but it works, data are in there.

Did you make sure that your router ports are open to allow people to connect?

 

Also, is anyone able to connect to this dedi server?

Edited September 22, 2021 by BFT2020 (see edit history)

[cistehovado]

No one, I tried also local connection (by connecting to ip 192.168.1.5) but the same - message: waiting for Steam verification.

[Sarakatunga]

the same thing happened to me yesterday, only some servers work. Not even in lan could enter my dedicated. This was steam problem. Now it works for me and you?

[cistehovado]

Still same issue,

reinstalled windows from scratch, installed dedicated server only,

Forwarded ports - I tested ports, I have forwarded correct ports but the port tester shows them closed except the ports 8080 (control panel), 8081 (telnet) and  8082 which is the map port (have alloc installed), I can reach any of these services through internet.

I disabled firewall, port 27015 still shown closed, my port forwarding table follows(yep server is on 192.168.1.50)

Service Name	External Ports	Internal Ports	Internal IP address
	2	7DaysToDie	27000-27030	27000-27030	192.168.1.50

Your base port is in a range that I hear Steam likes to use. Try something in the 26000 range for your base port to avoid that possible conflict.

Also, your port forwarding chart says 2 external ports for the game. It should be 4. Your base port + 3. For example if you chose 26500 as a base port you should have 26500 through 26503 open in both your firewall and router.

Also "service" on your chart is blank. It should be showing UDP and or TCP.

I dont know what do you mean, I have 30 free ports from 27000 to 27030, the protocols are TCP and UDP (they are not listed here).  Top table row is shifted 2 columns sorry for that. Let me set it up to 26900-26930 and paste the result.

The same result as before, - no firewall enabled:

ports 8080, 8081, 8082 are open and works Ports 26900 closed

Ports 26900 closed

This should be open to tcp/udp. Are you saying you set your router and firewall to open it, and it is still not open?

I am saying I have opened it through the router, and I disabled firewall completely. Strange thing is that ports 8080-8082 are working.

I suspect there must be something wrong with Server application. 

[Beelzybub]

Try enableing Steamnetworking. If that works, then your ports are not opened correctly. What's the server ip? I'll try to connect.

[cistehovado]

I made some tests - I did not change port forwarding (stays at 26900 - 26930) and I installed filezilla server, I set filezilla at port 26911, that port is successfully opened when testing from internet. Then I set filezilla server to use all the ports starting from 26900 to 26930 and all of them were working from internet. Port check passed.

So I am still pointing at that there may be issues with server app.

Private message sent.

I removed Steamnetworking (so it should be enabled), but still I got the same error:

Update, I was googling to find out how can I find opened ports (listening) at local machine, as I want to see opened ports (for 7days to die),

command for windows is netstat -ab

I am attaching a filtered output, I can currently see that ports 8080 and 8081 are opened and listening for incoming connections (and they works through port forwarding, 8082 is not listed as I removed every mod I had). There is no listening port at 26902 which is set in config, and it should be.

<property name="ServerPort"  value="26902"/>

The ports 25282 and 25281 are unknown for me, but I believe the server app wants to connect somewhere.

I would suggest you post a complete log. The log tells you at what port the server is listening.

I got two errors trying to connect to that server.

 

INF NET: LiteNetLib trying to connect to: (ip address:port)
[NM] DataReceived: bad! (x11)

LiteNetLib: Connection failed: ConnectionFailed

 

and then

 

WRN [Steamworks.NET] NET: Requesting rules from TCP failed due to connection problems

(No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Couple of things (but take these with a grain of salt, I am a Noob when it comes to setting up servers)

 

ST has a great pinned post on sever setups, especially ports

 

 

Also, based on your error messages, have you tried reinstalling Steam as you may have some bad files there.  Recommended action on the internet is to go into your Steam folder and delete everything but the steamapps folder (your installed games) and steam.exe.  Then launch steam.exe and allow it to redownload all the files it needs.

Thanks for info.

I am using server on separate machine, there is no Steam client, only Steamcmd and the server files. (and of course W10 OS). I reloaded server software multiple times (and checked). Everything looks ok. I also tested if ports are forwarded with another software, they are. I just dont get it why it does not work.

Hopefully someone will be able to assist you.

 

Another possible link of information, this is for setting up servers like you described

You might already have seen this, but I didn't want to assume.

Put the log on pastebin and post a link to it. The procedure is explained in a sticky thread here in the "general support" section.

[cistehovado]

Tried again I believe I did all steps correctly but no luck. I am giving up.

[Gamida]

I wouldn't give up yet. Lot of smart people on here. I managed to get a home server set up and I am useless when it comes to this stuff lol.

Keep checking and am sure someone may be able to help you.  They may need more info though such as OS etc.

[cistehovado]

I did a last try:

- removed every 3rd party software in windows 10 (completely clean)

- disabled all windows protection (antivirus and firewall, application check etc)

- downloaded dedicated server from the scratch, (did not change anything in config - leaving default build)

- connected the machine directly to internet (bypassing router), machine got internet IP

- I tested the connectivity (using browser and ping)

- started the dedicated server, last 5 logs lines here:

2021-09-24T23:03:13 34.532 INF [Steamworks.NET] GameServer.Init successful
2021-09-24T23:03:13 34.534 INF [Steamworks.NET] Making server public

2021-09-24T23:03:43 64.556 ERR [Steamworks.NET] GameServer.LogOn timed out

 

And server is still unreachable (Waiting for steam authentication)

I don't know really what to do more, this is like madness.

 

Server specs:

Asrock Deskmini H470, Intel i7 11700, 16GB DDR4 SO-DIM (kingston), nvme hdd Blue WD 240GB

The message about steam authentication seems to point more into the direction of steam not being able to connect, i.e. it may not be about port 26900 but ports 26901-26905.

 

But you still didn't post a complete log (actually a log from server and client would be needed in such a case), foiling the best chance for someone here to get the right idea and largely wasting our time searching half-blind in the darkness. I'm out.

*SOLVED* 

mostly thanks to Beelzybub 

 

Issue was dedicated server was downloaded through SteamCMD and executed via batch file. Together with Beelzy, I tried to create server through client on another machine and it worked. So network outside was ok. I tried several extreme things including changing router. Then I was thinking what was different between my server and my gaming pc. - A steam client.

So I created new account on Steam, installed it on Server, downloaded the 7DtD dedicated server via Steam client, started it - and it finally worked!

I tried to disable client - Server was unreachable again.

 

So solution was to install Steam client and keep it running then the server works.

I also pasted complete log as you requested, at Thursday at 09:31 PM (edited), the rest of logs were no different.
