Server shows up on JSON list but not in-game
-
Hi, me and my friend are trying to host a dedicated server for zombies. I was able to make my server work, but his doesn't.
We port forwarded using the same settings and are using the same .bat and .cfg files.His server shows up on the json server list but not on the in-game server browser.
He is not getting SV OOB etc...
-
Is he running the server from the same PC he is playing on?
-
Yes, and so am I. But mine works fine. Tried enabling DMZ to out rule port forwarding issue. Still doesn't work with DMZ.

It's normal for you not to see your own server in the serverlist in game when running it on the same computer.
If he types
connect 127.0.0.1Into the console it should connect him to his server.
Xerxes is that correct?

Mr. Android alright, let me explain more. He is hosting the server on his pc,and I still cannot see it in-game. And he can connect using localhost. With my setup I am able to see my own server in the server browser.
The weird thing is the fact that it is on the json list but not in-game.
It's late now, so we aren't testing at the moment but will continue tomorrow. -

That depends on your router, if it supports NAT-Loopback you can see it. Any decent one of the last 10 years will support this.
If he types
connect 127.0.0.1
Into the console it should connect him to his server.Only if his server is listening to port 4976

See comments above.Mathy said in Server shows up on JSON list but not in-game:

Then he has an issue with his network, either no portforwards or a firewall that blocks it.

That basically only means the server is in online mode, runs a map and can reach the backend.

Xerxes Thank you for the reply. We will keep trying. I'll post here if we ever figure out the issue.
