Server list error

in Game Support
Not sure whats up, but i was playing fine 2 days ago. Client Server list was populating just fine.

Now it don't populate at all. List is always empty.

Things i have done (Because i researched for a day):

Restarting client/PC/Modem/Router,

Checked all Anti virus/ Anti spyware/ Defender/ exception lists ,

Checked all ports on Router.

Verified game files, (Keeps Downloading PB file) 2 missing files every time,

Refreshed multiple times.

Don't know what happening. It started the day i started hosting my Dedicated server. I have my dedicated server sent to desktop and run the /DS cmd on the exe shortcut. I also host my Server via Sandboxie, to insure it is running separate from the aagame.exe.

So that i can play on my server and host it on same machine. I can connect to my server fine and others can see it in the host list and can connect.

I just cant get the server list to populate so that i can join other servers.

    I host and play on the same machine all the time. Not sure why you did all the tricky stuff. I create a server setup first from Steam > Host a Dedicated Server which takes you to the Host a Server tool that used to be in the Launcher.

    Then when you launch that created server, it very handily creates a batch file in the configs that you can use to relaunch that server without Steam. Once the server is up, you restart Steam and use your player to join the server on the same machine.

    I keep saying I should do a tutorial on this.....Sigh.....

    I agree there really should be. I still cant join other servers.
  • Keebler750Keebler750 Posts: 3,621Player
    The server list comes through an open port, unless I'm mistaken. You sure you have them all open?

    I think i know what is happening. Server wants to use port 7778. but so does the game. Which file can i change to change the Port the server is hosting on to something like 7779 instead of 7778
  • Keebler750Keebler750 Posts: 3,621Player
    You don't need to open ports for the game. Only a server. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to join by IP. Something weird is going on.

    I'm not used to the way you're running your setup, as I described with mine elsewhere. You may even have found a bug for all I know. Just not used to running that way, nor is it the designed-in method.

    Okay changed ports for server and still have issue where the client side of game will not query server list.

    If you don't set it up the way it is designed, and instead set it up in a special case scenario, I can't help you. Within my several posts, though not set out in organized fashion, is the information you need. If you're seeing something incorrect in the outcome, I can't judge whether it's a bug if you're not following proceedure. In other words, maybe you're CREATING the bug.

    I can see servers with my setup. I DON'T need separate ports for client and server. I CAN play on the same machine as the server.......etc.

    Anyway, good luck to you.

    Okay here is what i have done. and it isn't different than what you have done.

    Open only ports for the server.

    7778 UDP
    7779 UDP
    9987 UDP
    8778 UDP
    8765 UDP
    7780 UDP
    27000-27037 UDP /TCP

    Added Server and game to antispyware, antivirus,and defender firewalls exception list.

    And on my desktop is a shortcut for AAlauncher32.exe and under the target is : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\America's Army\AAPG\Binaries\Win32\AALauncher32.exe" /DS

    AAclient is too large. So request portion you may need.


    Again thank you Keeber for all your help.

  • Keebler750Keebler750 Posts: 3,621Player
    So you're starting your server with that desktop shortcut? I have never used the /DS on that exe. Instead I use command line options on the AAGame.exe to build a server.

    There's a better way, with a batch file in your server config folder. Just link to that. It's built by the H.A.S tool and has the command line built into it.

    You're missing one important log file:

    [...] SteamApps\common\America's Army\AAPG\AAGame\Logs\AAServer.log


    Does your live server log window show "Dedicated Official Mode 396 Server" at the top bar?

    I know "0" About H.A.S. Work with me so that we can build a comprehensive guide for others so that is makes it easier to do this. Message me and also i can host a VOIP server so we can talk about it. let make this server thing easier for everyone else.

    I started rooting around for some info, and updated a few posts (with port Idents, for example). Just collecting notes for now. Not sure how much time I've got to put a proper tutorial together, though. My idea of proper is usually a little overboard.....




    The Host A Server tool is started from Steam > Play > Host a Dedicated AAPG Server, and it's a graphic interface that allows basic server configuration without having to mess with files or command lines. You can set rotation and vote list, some server options, etc. More advanced options, and user made map hosting is possible.

    Pro Tip #1: At the bottom of the Host a Server window is a text box labelled "Server Command Line." If you copy that using the button on the left after setting up a server, and create a batch file with it, you can start a server without running Steam. (Text files ending in .bat are executable in Windows...)

    Pro Tip #2: The Host a Server tool already creates a handy batch file ready to go in your server config folder after your first (or edited) server startup! All you have to do is send a link to your desktop.

    Whats the difference with doing that or running a shortcut with /DS command @ end of string. It also runs it out of steam.
  • Keebler750Keebler750 Posts: 3,621Player
    The biggest difference is that I've only tested setups using the AAGame.exe as a server with command line switches and INI tweaks, and therefore have a tough time offering support for other setups. You seem to have a specific idea of how you want to do it. All I can tell you is the way I'm typing this stuff out works perfectly for me on a home server here on the laptop I'm typing this on.....

    : shrug :

    Thank you Keebler, for all you help. I finally figured it all out. I still would like to make a walk though guide for others. But, I would like to discuss with you PB command and server scripts that do things like unlocking the amount of weapon that can be unlocked for all to use. Like anyone can be sniper "No limit, or selective limit."

  • Keebler750Keebler750 Posts: 3,621Player
    I know zero about PB and server scripts, unfortunately. There are others around here who would be much better for that.

    In the AAGame.ini 
    [AAGame.AAGameReplicationInfo]
bDefaultUseRoles=false

    =IK=Doba is working on a mod that will allow you to control things more than is provided in the default server configuration files.
