Hi,
Not sure if anyone else has had this issue before - if they have, I apologise for opening a new thread. I've followed all the appropriate steps to setup a private dedicated server. Everything runs fine however, when I check my port forwarding on an online port forwarding tester my GamePort/QueryPort is opened, my SeamlessDataPort is also opened but no matter what I do or change, my actual Port (most people set it up as 5761,5755,7777 etc.) is never opened. I've configured my ServerGrid.JSON files to several different ports both matching my launch.bat file port all of which have been forwarded and it didn't help. I've tried leaving the port options blank in the launch.bat file, also didn't work. Attempting to host locally (server shows up in LAN on steam however I run into the NAT loopback issue). Pretty much tried everything I can think of and looked into online and nothing has sorted out the issue. I'm ultimately about to give up on setting this up myself, just thought I'd post here and see if I can get any further insight on the issue.
A side note, my router port forwarding configuration doesn't allow me to match my external port to the internal port I'm forwarding. For instance, if I forward port 5761, the external port is setup automatically by my router (something like 16001). This doesn't seem to be an issue for the GamePort/QueryPort or SeamlessDataPort however as when I query the external port given by my router using my public IP address, they're always shown as open.
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.
