Plutonium

I was able to connect to the server with the connect mylocalip:29861, however my friend had trouble with this. Doesn't make much sense to me since the server is hosted on 29860.

Still getting that same error, server is for low ping players only, and still saying I'm joining with other 50,000 ping. Running the server and game on the same machine. I have 28960-61 port forwarded and unblocked inbounds on windows firewall. Using port 28960 currently for the server, but as the original says I've tried a number of different combinations.

Also says my challenge ping when joining is over 100,000

I understand this topic has been talked about, but nothing is working. Have two open UDP ports for 28960-61 and 28963 for server. Have tried leaving the server min and max ping at 0, have tried leaving them both empty, tried using values. Still saying for low ping players only. The server is using a custom map if that makes a difference, but that mod and connecting the map wasn't an issue. I also have very stable and high speed wifi. Any help would be appreciated.
