JamesIsSoPro Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Servers are being weird. So when people on my local network search unofficial list, you can see the servers. However, when they search LAN, they cannot be seen, nor be steam server list. It turns on that nobody outside of my network can see the servers on the unofficial list despite the fact that they CAN connect to them. Everything is port forwarded so I know that's not the issue. I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that im hosting 10 servers and I have a lot of ports assigned, thinking I may be using one that is causing issues with steam listing servers. These are the servers and ports I am using. NA-PVP-Ragnarok1 - PORT:7777, QUERY:27015, RCON:37015 NA-PVP-TheIsland1 - PORT:7779, QUERY:27016, RCON:37016 NA-PVP-Aberration1 - PORT:7781, QUERY:27017, RCON:37017 NA-PVP-ScorchedEarth1 - PORT:7783, QUERY:27018, RCON:37018 NA-PVP-TheCenter1 - PORT:7785, QUERY:27019, RCON:37019 NA-PVP-Ragnarok2 - PORT:7787, QUERY:27020, RCON:37020 NA-PVP-TheIsland2 - PORT:7789, QUERY:27021, RCON:37021 NA-PVP-Aberration2 - PORT:7791, QUERY:27022, RCON:37022 NA-PVP-ScorchedEarth2 - PORT:7793, QUERY:27023, RCON:37023 NA-PVP-TheCenter2 - PORT:7795, QUERY:27024, RCON:37024 Could any of these cause an issue? Anything else anyone can think of to try? Also feel free to search "Janky" in the unofficial list and tell me if you see it. Thanks in advance.

Guest Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Hi James. Have the servers ever appeared on the unofficial server list for people outside your network? If not, I suspect you haven't got the port forwarding working on your router. RCON ports use TCP, the others use UDP. BattleMetrics is finding servers if you search for Janky. https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/search?sort=score&q=Janky Also note that https://ark.gamepedia.com/Dedicated_Server_Setup says... "Query Port cannot be between 27020 and 27050 due to Steam using those ports. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, the box is actually DMZed. I'm at a loss here... Wish there was an easier way to troubleshoot this. The unofficial list used the Query port to populate right?

Guest Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 There are quite a few posts on the web from people asking why their servers don't work from a DMZ. As an experiment, turn off the DMZ and setup port forwarding for one of your maps. Reboot the server just in case. Remember that Ark servers can take 5 or 10 minutes to register on the Unofficial Server list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally had them port forwarded, I switched from port forward to DMZ to rule out any unknown port requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
