akinsatl Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Friend can't join server since update (We both have Steam) It's giving my friend an immediate "Joining Failed Connection Timeout" error when she tries to join. I run the server through ASM and it says "gethostbyname Failed". Is there any way to fix this? I don't have Raw Sockets on and i've tried changing the ports already but maybe I didn't change them correctly (it was 7779 and 27017 and I changed to 7797 and 27071).

arkark Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 gethostbyname is a C function that resolves a hostname into an IP address. Try connecting using the IP of the server instead of the hostname to bypass a possible failure in resolving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akinsatl Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 How would I do that? Through the Steam Server function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkark Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 craft a link like this, with the ip and port of your server and paste in, for example, g chrome: steam://connect/ip.of.your.server:port that, in case the problem is gethostbyname client related, because Im seeing more ppl having this error, and maybe its not even a harmful error (just more like a notice in the server log trying to resolve client dns) and the real error has nothing to do with this.
