Bug Description:   I have set up a dedicated server, first with a world I made in coop through steam with a friend then from scratch to test the issues encountered from the first attempt (same thing happened with blank/new state). I used steamcmd and now the server just through steam itself ran on the batch file, both same issues. I have correctly forwarded all required ports and tested them to make sure they are also open (firewall settings are all set and have tested with both DMZ on and off, again same results). The only way I can connect on my local network is if I disable LiteNetLib as a protocol in the server config however, my friends still cant connect. I have tried each setting for the network protocols too btw, disabling LiteNetLib was the only one that worked but only for my side and not friends on different networks. The server does show up on the server list too, same results trying that or through ip connection, and yep also using correct ip for it, all same msg of the network timeout unless the setting above is set.

The following are the logs of when I couldn't connect and the one where I could with the protocol changed.  Forgot to mention the server is run on a different pc I use specifically for servers not the one I'm playing on. Also second logs where its working are from when I tried with the world I had made with my friend since I was getting the same results no matter what. I do also have the logs of where its ran on the fresh save if that's needed but figured this would do as its the same end result on both.

Lets make sure we are on the same page: The required ports to forward are default 26900(TCP) and 26900-26903(UDP).

 

Also please post a server AND client log from the same session.

Yes got all ports from the pinned msg here set up, I will post my client logs a bit later once I have access to my pc.

It started working, left only steamworks disabled so my other friends could try and they got in, tried myself once I got home and didn't get timed out anymore. Not sure what was going on but glad its working now.
