It appears what ever fixes that were discovered are no longer working. I have been able to host a server that others over the internet can join with no issues pretty much out of the box. Now if I want to play on it it gets tricky unless you have a router that supports NAT loopback. There is a work around so that I was able to join my own server how ever No one else on my same network can join. The point of running my own private world is to escape from the toxic griefer ridden community whom this company care nothing about stopping. I want to play the game with my friends and family and not have to deal with anyone else. I have a system capable of hosting no problems. Why am I being forced to pay company to host so we can achieve this goal? Why at every turn are they "fixing" our ability to host our own servers? This was all something that used to work with this game. I have hosted in the past to family on my own private lan and friends across the internet. Now it seems no longer possible. We will not be forced to play on public servers. We will not be forced to pay a company to host for us. Unfortunately we will be forced to play another game that will accommodate our needs. This is all this company is forcing people to do. it is a shame to see such a promising game die while still in its creation.

From my experience setting one up I would say check your ServerGrid.ServerOnly.json and make sure that the db entries are present and that you have the password correct. I had that issue from my first map generation because the map editor didn't export the file populated. I had to export it a second time to get it to populate.

So as a reply to my own post this problem has been solved for me. It seems no one ever replys or has a solution to this issue so I will post my own solution for others to follow. This works for windows 7 64 bit OS, dont know about any other. I did not find the fix on these boards. (if it was posted or linked I must have over looked it.) https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/workaround-if-you-cannot-join-your-own-dedi-server.4672/ open that page and follow the directions, simple as that. Was like magic and everything worked for my server after that.
