Buckwild 247 0 Posted May 1, 2023 Ok so what I have going is I have a dedicated IP that I run a server computer on. I use my desktop for all other things like gaming and internet which is on my dynamic ip so normally any game I put on the server computer I can reach from my dyn ip. I start the server everything appears to work fine I have opened the ports I can see my server from my dyn ip in launcher...when I join though I get connection failed. If I direct connect same thing....If I change my network and hop over on the same network as the server it joins and plays perfectly fine. I have tried flushdns and all kinds of stuff so I guess I need to ask the simple question that if I used the same steam account to download the server files and try to join from the same account to play but on a different network would it work or would I have to be on the same network as my dedi to play without paying for 2 copies of the game? In otherwords if I steamcmd downloaded the server from joeschmoe account and tried to play said server from said joeschmoe account would I need to be on the same lan or would it work remotely?

pierremgi 4850 Posted May 1, 2023 You can run your server and run one client in another session on the same PC (one dedicated Arma session + one session logged as player). You can, of course, run a hosted server (player and server in same Arma session). You need another account if you want to run another player. LAN or internet doesn't matter.

I have the server software on one pc and the game on another both have different IP's because 1 is my dedicated IP the other is my isp dynamic ip. So in that scenario could I run the dedicated server (armaserver) and use my account to log into my game or would I have to be on the same network as my dedicated server? My internet has a dynamic IP and a Dedicated IP so my other computer handles all internet related servers and such. I just game and surf the internet from my dynamic IP if that makes sense.

Buckwild 247 0 Posted May 1, 2023 I guess to make it as simple as possible to understand say im on 27.48.38.20 on my gaming pc and the server has an ip 200.234.23.1 would I have to be on the same network as my dedicated box? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
