Eagles787 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 We are a team of four pilots and have a consistent problem that one of us can't see the hosted server by one of the other members, and when he hosts a server we all three can't see his. When we try to connect by ip he is the only one getting the "Server offline" message, while the other three are actually in the server. We are all four able to join public servers like AO. This drives us nuts and no idea how we can solve it. We all tried both openbeta and stable at the same time, the only difference is that he is on the Steam version while the other three are on stand alone. Can this be the reason, is Steam and stand alone not compatible for multiplayer? Thanks for any information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 We are a team of four pilots and have a consistent problem that one of us can't see the hosted server by one of the other members, and when he hosts a server we all three can't see his. Most likely that person has a firewall blocking the traffic, or his router doesnt have port-forward enabled correctly. We are all four able to join public servers like AO. Connecting as client is easier, as it doesnt require you to setup the port-forward on the router. is Steam and stand alone not compatible for multiplayer? Steam is compatible with stand alone, but all players should be using same DCS version: stable, or open beta.

Eagles787 Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Thank you for your help. We did check his port forwarding and he has 10308 enabled on his router to his pc. What puzzles us is that he can't see my server either when i host it, while the other team members can see it and play on it. It doesn't show up on his server list and when he tries via ip he gets the "server offline" message while we are actually playing on it. He is able to connect to all the other public servers like AO or Hoggit etc without a problem. Literally the only difference we can find is that he is on Steam. Does Steam maybe require another port to be opened? Although since he can join AO i don't see how that can be the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
