So, I tried every possible way, from just a .bat file, to steamCMD, to ASM. I got the ports correctly forwarded in both my PC's firewall and on the router. I set a static internal IP on the PC hosting the server, made sure to forward the ports to said IP on the router. I got a DDNS and made sure that the router updates it each time the external IP changes, I even set a DMZ on the IP hosting the server, enabled UPnP, checked the NAT and so on. I tried disabling both firewall and AV on my PC. But it's only visible on the LAN, where I see two servers, one with the internal IP and another one with the external IP, which I can only join from my PC, but nobody else from outside the LAN is able to see it (even though it's supposedly running on the external IP). If I try adding it to "Favorites" directly from Steam, it just says "No server was found on that IP Address". This is driving me insane, I made sure that everything is set up exactly as it should but it just won't work.

I have a basic Island server and Scorched Earth running in docker containers. Image provided by ich777. No mods no custom configurations, just default config along with my set ports, names, cluster ID, and passwords. Both servers come up and I can see and connect to them directly. When I log in to the island on a brand new survivor. Level 1, no items. Completely new and run over to an obelisk, I can see my other scorched server is available and I choose to transfer to it. After about 30 seconds or so, I am sent back to the menu screen and given a "Host Timeout" error. I then try to directly connect to scorched and now that server is timing out when I try to connect when it allowed me to connect just fine before I attempted the transfer. Bummer. However, I can restart the scorched container, and when I directly connect to it again, it works and I can see my transferred survivor. Pull him in, spawn, and take off for the closet obelisk to try going back to the Island server. Same exact experience. Host times out, cannot connect directly, restart container, and I can connect and spawn in my transferred survivor. I'm not sure what's causing this, but it's consistent. **Relative specs:** This is a dedicated server running my docker containers. I am NOT using Windows and not playing and hosting from the same machine. AMD Ryzen 7 1800X 64GB DDR4 3200 Game files and such are on an Intel 1TB NVMe Connecting from "Join Ark" in game. I've tried manually doing it from Steam > View > Game Servers, but that has it's own issue. Something about "Cannot query game parameters" or something. (not important at the moment) Confirmed that even though I'm connecting from in game, it's smart enough to use my local IP, so it's not some weird thing where it's routing out to the internet and back in.
