Title: Can't connect to Friend's Servers
Post by: dkire13 on August 18, 2016, 10:58:37 pm

It's weird too. I'm able to connect to online servers just fine, but I can't connect to other servers even when I'm invited. If I host a server, nobody can connect to it.

I already port forwarded port 27015 (Used for CSS) and Windows firewall has been disabled.

Have you tried the following commands after launching the server:

sv_lan 0
heartbeat
changelevel <mapname>

Is it just servers being hosted by your friends that are giving you the issue? Are they hosting it on their own computer?

The reason I ask is I host a server on mine and while people can connect to it fine from the server browser, people cannot join me via the steam friend list, or if I invite them because for some reason, instead of using my public IP, it uses my local IP of 10.0.0.2. Seems to be a steam issue, as it does it on other games that use steamworks as well, such as Ark.

If this is the case, the only workaround I have found is to use the server browser and join that way. But then again, I haven't really looked into the issue of why steam uses my local IP vs my public IP.
