    SaltyLTS how are you connecting to the server? via the console? Can people outside of your network connect to it?

      Yes, via the console !
      I'm using 127.0.0.1:4977, i changed my port because i'm hosting on the same machine as i am playing.
      I still haven't opened my ports, i wanted to finish the server before that

        I think the first thing i'm going to do is buy a VPS tho... Because hosting and playing on the same computer isn't that great 🀷

          SaltyLTS hosting from home is more of a temporary solution if you want to have an actual server.

          First of all try to connect with your PC local IPv4 instead of 127.0.0.1 and see what happens.

          Are you using pluto_t6_full_game for both your game and the server or no?

          Also could be bad configuration like wrong map name or game mode in the rotation. Try resetting server files and just change the server key and port and see what happens.

              SaltyLTS to me this still looks like your client is trying to connect to itself. Verify that your server is actually using port 4977 and your client isn't, type

              net_port
              

              into your server and client consoles.
              I'd suggest opening the port and asking someone else if they can connect to it, if that works fine then the issue must be your client and not the server.

                        SaltyLTS Hey man check out this tut https://youtu.be/BDfokZXXx6M.

                        If you follow all those steps correctly it should work. It worked for me. If you run into hiccups, add me Ahrimdon#1645.

                        Also, the server files are not that big. They are if you want it separate from your game, but normally you just re-download load the torrent for the game files. Also your loading screen should not be that grey pixel screen. It should be the actual loading screen if everything went right. Not sure what guide you’re following but there’s plenty of server resources and downloads on this forum! πŸ™‚

                        Edit: Make sure you get a working server before you install IW4X Admin. It it considered working if the server shows up in the server list for you and your friends!

                        Edit 2: Just saw you bought a VPS, not sure how to set that up.

                          SaltyLTS apparently this guy is talking about his server folder when he says "Binary file", either that or the "plutonium" folder in the server folder which contains the client files. Not a very good guide, he also doesn't cover running the server in screen so when you close the terminal the server will also quit.

                          There is another guide: https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/15492/plutot6-server-iw4admin-on-ubuntu-20-04 which seems to be a bit less confusing. I would not recommend using those servers files these people linked, use the torrent instead.

                          Sadly you have to rely on community made instructions for now as there is no official support for running servers on linux yet, we plan on offering a docker container eventually which will make running a server really simple.
