Arma 3 Dedicated Server Friends Unable to Connect

Recommended Posts

So I've set up a dedicated server according to the guide in Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Installation on the wiki. I can load into the mission just fine as the localhost, but when my friends attempt to connect via public IP and direct connect, they enter the correct IP + port combination, only to click "Join" and have no changes to the server browser at all (i.e. they can't find it). I've tried everything I can think of, including:

 

  • Port trigger instead of port forwarding on the router
  • Enabling upnp (going to Host Server within the game doesn't work either)
  • Changing ports to ones I know work on other games
  • Disabled Windows Firewall entirely (I re-enabled it afterwards)
  • Disabled Battleye (both on client and server)
  • Switched to a different internet connection
  • Exitting Steam and starting the server by itself (I'm running both server/client on the same machine, and have heard it could cause conflicts)
  • Restarting the computer and router

 

The dedicated server window shows no errors. I've completely run out of ideas at this point. Anyone mind pitching in?

After some further testing, this seems to be a wider problem within Arma 3. As mentioned, none of my friends were able to see a server, even if I ditched the dedicated server and went into Arma 3's Host Server option from within the multiplayer tab.

 

Attached is the server's RPT if anyone would be willing to have a look: https://justpaste.it/asrsl
