If you send me the alpha/beta builds you've got I can PayPal you something for the trouble.

After testing can 100% confirm server not appearing in server list for others, even when it is running and confirmed working with myself connect. Any ideas?

Xerxes said in Local Host Server not showing in server list:

Not all routers do support NAT Loopback so even if you did set-up everything right it might never show up for you.

Should it still show up for my friends just not me?

Here is my firewall exception. Is this all correct?
I'm not sure what else to try.

I saw another thread with a similiar problem.
I followed the advice there and created and inbound UDP exception on port 4977.
But my server still does not show up in the list.

Can anyone help me please?

(PS: my friends can connect using the command line but I'm trying to get it to show in the server list to make it easier for them)

On the Victis maps, radios from maxis heard in spawn rooms and elsewhere will often play multiple versions at the same time.

Still having the same problems here.
Overlapping voice lines (especially from maxis radios in buried)
And cutscenes not playing in solo

No. You can host the server and run your client on the same PC you don't need a VM.
He was talking about something else.

If your server doesn't show up on the server list do the following:
Windows search > cmd, open cmd
type "ipconfig" no quotes hit enter
copy ipv4 address
now ingame open the console with "~" key.
any player who wants to join server can type the following
"connect "ipv4 address":4977"
eg "connect XXX.XXX.X.XXX:4977"

If your server is password protected enter "password "type password here"" in the console before using the "connect" command.

If they still haven't fixed the bug where you can't start the client with the server running.
Launch client first, then launch server, use port 4977 in the server config files and connect command.
If it's been fixed you should be able to use 4976. But I'm still using 4977 and starting server after client and can confirm that method still works.
Good luck.

I am already using a dedicated server on my machine....
And the fast_restart or map_restart commands used to crash server.
Now those commands don't even work.

And when the game ends, the lobby crashes with error:
"CG_Spawn: no free fake entities"

Same error will then occur on every lobby join until I restart the server.

Skipping cutscene at the same time doesn't work.
Using map_restart or fast_restart just leaves the map on a black screen.
Same with dying out to restart.

Is there documentation anywhere on how to setup a GSC on Plutonium?
Or for a similar workaround?

I tried just connecting via IP over LAN, but second player had to spectate the first round.
I then setup server hosting, but still when another player connects to my lobby they are forced to spectate the first round.
This ruins the point distribution and makes for a less fun game.

How can I spawn (or how can they spawn themselves) in on round 1?
Either when playing over LAN or server hosted.
I just want to find any way that works.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the workaround!
Wish this info was in the setup guide I've wasted many hours...
