Tried everything to get minigame server working. Any ideas?

Support Steam/Inventory Connectivity Issues
1

I’m trying to locally host (non-dedicated) a mini-game server and for some reason it’s being really stubborn and no one can join. I’ve hosted servers before so I’m no stranger to forwarding and whatnot and I’ve even tried setting my ip to DMZ host, with no luck.

I’ve disabled my firewall and turned off my antivirus.

I followed this guide and forwarded the below ports.

27015-27050 TCP/UDP - Steam
7777-7778 UDP - Steam VOIP
3478 UDP - Tower United
4379-4380 UDP - Tower United

It’s weird, I did a network dump when hosting a server (cmd.exe netstat -a -b) and these are the only relevant lines for the Tower Unite process.

[Tower-Win64-Shipping.exe]
TCP 192.168.0.25:35772     162.243.43.108:3202     FIN_WAIT_2
[Tower-Win64-Shipping.exe]
TCP 192.168.0.25:35773     162.243.43.108:3202     FIN_WAIT_2
[Tower-Win64-Shipping.exe]
TCP 192.168.0.25:35778     162.243.43.108:3202     FIN_WAIT_2
[Tower-Win64-Shipping.exe]
TCP     [::]:135                         USERNAME:0                    LISTENING
RpcSs
[Tower-Win64-Shipping.exe]
UDP     0.0.0.0:27036          *:*

You can see the only UDP port is 27036 and it is up even when I am not hosting a server. It seems like the Tower Unite process is not even trying to listen on the game port? Or maybe 27036 is the game port?

I’ve checked an online port checker to make sure 27036 is open and it is confirmed open.

Anyway, any ideas on what’s happening here?

Were you in the server anyway?
I think…
Do you think when you make server, everyone are just so happy that they join instantly
Maybe no one wanted to join?

EDIT:
By the way, i think you were creating a game wrong
To create a game you need to go to menu and then go to minigame “menu”, and then click option “Create a Game” you choose map, max players, server name, etc, then you click create a server and you are done

this guide is totally wrong
Oh, and also this guide has like 10 months, so system might changed

Or maybe its an actual issue with his router acting up. No need to be an ass about this.

First of all, he propably asked people to try and join his server before he realized it doesn’t work.

As for the guide, I don’t think it’s wrong. To me it seems like a troubleshooting guide more than anything. Something you follow when your server doesn’t work.

As others have assumed, I’ve asked others to try and join and they were unable.

Yes… that is how I’ve been doing it.[quote=“PatrykPL24, post:2, topic:19051”]

All I really used from that was the ports and firewall advice. I’ve tried multiple guides to no avail.
