Trying to host solo server to play with bots

WuTanB

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a solo bots server, but I keep getting the error:

connection with styx socket lost, reconnecting in 10s...
connection with nix socket lost, reconnecting in 15s...
connection with styx socket lost, reconnecting in 10s...
connection with styx socket lost, reconnecting in 10s...
connection with nix socket lost, reconnecting in 15s...

====================================================
Com_ERROR: Dedicated server authentication failure.

According to this thread it should be possible, without the server key if its only local? Or am I missing something?

You are not authenticating through Plutonium, thererefore errors about connection not being made is completely normal

The issue is actually that Plutonium T5 does not support the connect command which means that, since your server is local, you can't see it in the server browser and can't connect to it through the console either
I don't know of any solution for T5 specifically due to this command not working

The devs said there is a big T5 update that's coming soon, maybe it will fix the connect command not working which should unblock your situation/issue

Resxt Ahh, I see. Thanks for the info!

WuTanB asking around and searching I think I found a solution. Are you still looking for it?

WuTanB

Resxt Hi, yes of course!

So it seems like it crashes after some time when it fails to connect to the services

Trying LAN mode makes it crash instantly so same result

From what I've been told: online you need the session ID (which can be retrieved in the API or maybe with a command), LAN mode you might be able to connect with ip and port as usual

Anyways, there doesn't seem to be any solution that works since the server simply crashes
If you link your Steam account that owns BO1 to your forum account you should be able to host a public server and put up a password on it so that only you can join
Else, wait for the upcoming big T5 update and hopefully some of these issues will be fixed

Resxt do you have some info when it will be released?

Resxt

Danxsada nope sorry
