so what is it with these ports 19567; 48888??

this is what i have in my .bat

Frost.Game.Main_Win32_Final.exe -serverInstancePath "Instance/" -mapPack2Enabled 1 -port 192.168.1.2:19567 -timeStampLogNames -region NAm -heartBeatInterval 20000

is that right.

is that right.

It should look like this:

Code: Select all

Frost.Game.Main_Win32_Final.exe -serverInstancePath "Instance/" -mapPack2Enabled 1 -port 19567 -timeStampLogNames -region OC -heartBeatInterval 20000 -displayErrors 0 -displayAsserts 0 -renderless

-port 192.168.1.2:19567 is wrong
Also, I don't know if NAm exists as region, but there is OC (Oceania) US and EU.

48888 is only needed if you don't host your server on your own PC. Tools like ProCon and BC2CC connect to your server via this port.

19567 is the port your server uses to contact the masterserver. You can try forwarding this one.

sorry new that was a bad idea just wanted to show little appreciation or expression in my response.

ok now im able to join but only for the first few seconds of my server being launched and it shows my server with a ping of 290.

when i exit my server and try to rejoin now my ping is at 1 and i cant rejoin it says the same from my post above. that the connection lost try checking network...and so fort.

lastly my white window that i could have punched in a command or two disappears now i guess its because of the extra commnadline you gave me to add to the end in thre .bat file. again thanks for your quick response.

EDIT:getting some errors i guess, "couldnt create directory 'local'

would have like to point you to a pastebin page but the forum says my post looks to spammy for a new user lol. i wanted to show you my server logs

Yeah, I understand... But in forums/chatrooms etc., writing in capslock is considered shouting and therefore inpolite
Also, you can easily edit your posts.
