UPDATE: The issue is with the connecting side (my friend) instead of the server. Thank you all for the help, we’re working on a solution.
Hello BMS Community,
After a lot of researching and trying out different ‘solutions’ myself, I’m pretty much out of options. I really hope someone can help me out.
My problem is this. I’m trying to run a Falcon BMS 4.33 U4 (IVC) server on my pc. Short conclusion, other people can’t connect. ‘What have you tried so far, brokpiloot?’, you might ask. Well, here we go.
I’ve portforwarded ports 2437 to 2438, 9989 to 9999 and 2934 to 2937. Individually. Pointing at my static IP, because my router requires a static ip to portforward.
EDIT: I now only opened UDP ports 2934 - 2935 and 9987 - 9989 UDP.
Now, let’s fire up the IVC Server.exe.
The server should be up and running, right? Which means, the ports should be open and connectable. However, a simple portcheck shows me:
So I tried something different, I pointed my qtorrent downloader to (listen to) port 9987 to see if it was a router problem. In this case, the port opened up:
I’m not a technical genius, so please correct me if I’m wrong; this means the problem isn’t with the portforwarding.
Furthermore, I disabled my Firewall; Windows & Bitdefender. No luck. I thought, maybe I can make the server listen on my static ip (192.168.2.15) instead of 0.0.0.0. With previous server issues, involving other games, this solved the problem. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a proper config file to do this, and I’m not smart enough to edit the server.exe myself. Perhaps I’m missing something.
I hope someone can help me out. Thanks for your time!
