The localhost does not open 7777. I am not even talking about port forwarding through NAT yet.
I run a LAN game, game.exe map?listen?bIsLanMatch=1 -game
. This is netstat -a -b
output:
UDP 0.0.0.0:7777 *:* [game.exe]
UDP 0.0.0.0:27015 *:* [game.exe]
UDP 0.0.0.0:41765 *:* [game.exe]
Then I run game.exe map?listen -game
UDP 0.0.0.0:27015 *:* [game.exe]
UDP 0.0.0.0:41765 *:* [game.exe]
So you see no 7777 opens and I cannot join the game like I can the LAN match.
More info: saw this in logs:
Error STEAM: Can’t start an online session (Game) in state InProgress
That’s issue #1, but I’m willing to ignore it for now. I ran the game with -NOSTEAM
and port 7777 opens in Internet. I just wonder what I need to change in STEAM to get this to work?
Issue #2: Disabling steam I can connect via local IP and it loads the correct map. If I connect via Internet IP it starts the default level and not the correct map.
