Headless Client keeps getting kicked from dedicated server ?BattleEye issue

Hi guys,

 

I have a mission using a headless client. No mods.

 

If I launch the mission via the multiplayer editor ie... select multiplayer, 'new' mission, edit the mission and preview. I can get a headless client started up with Trophe's TADST with parameter -client to connect and run as normal. It works fine.

 

However, if I launch a dedicated server with TADST using the same mission then try to get a headless client to connect to that it just keeps on getting kicked with 'Invalid Steam Ticket null' or something very similar....

 

I've googled a bit but haven't really found an answer I understand... does anyone have any ideas? I do apologise if I haven't given enough info. I've also read the sticky thread and tried adding battleye=1; and various other suggestions but no joy.

 

Perplexed,

Still frustrating. I have now read so many fixes and issues that I am more confused than I was before. Do I need to use SteamCmd?

 

Attempted fixes:

1. Manually insert battleyeLicense=1; to the server config. Server AND client. No worky. It now has BattleEye = 1; AND battleyeLicense=1;....

2. Rechecked I am port-forwarding all the right ports. I am sure I am, but can't see how this would affect things.

3. Keep on re-launching it, but hey, also doesn't work.

4. Shout at screen, but this seems ineffective.

5. Re-read endless other similar fixes which don't seem to work.

 

:angry:

 

I know I've had this working before and I don't understand why a local headless client (same machine) connects to my hosted (me in game) mission, but not to a 'dedicated' server on the same machine...

is that issue only with one mission or any HC mission?

 

are you sure u added this to your server.cfg?

 

//Add headless client
headlessClients[]={"127.0.0.1"};
localClient[]={"127.0.0.1"};

I've found that TADST updates the cfg's and you can't keep the needed parameters. You'll need to use a manual shortcut or CMD to launch the server and HC.

@mike187 - that did it. Thank you. What a idiot!

 

@phillyjoker - I added the lines mike187 said and used 'Launch as is' option.

 

Now works... will edit to say solved.

 

Thanks guys.
