Run Event December 27th!   Online Goodness There are 0 users and 2 guests online     Red Faction : Lounge : Dedticated Server Help [Forum Rules]   Back to Forum Thread List NAB   Posted 15th Jul 2006 4:39pm L4Y Member Post 4 / 12 I need some help with a problem I'm having running a dedicated server on Red Faction, I've installed RFSAU & Red faction on a extra PC I had. I then launched the RFSAU software and all worked fine. I then started my other PC to make sure the server could be seen by others. That also went fine. I joined the dedicated server and that to went fine. Other players joined & that also went fine. Now here's where it gets strange..... When I'm in the game playing on my PC and go to leave the game, It always kicks everyone from the PC running the dedicated server.I've tried everything that I know to resolve the problem, no luck.I run a Linksys BEFSR41 router. I have the dedicated server set with a static ip address and also have the port forwarding set to 7755 to 7755 UDP. Do you have ANY ideas has to what may be going on here? Please let me know. Thanks! Ron aka N.A.B. UPDATE!!!!! I launched the game on the PC that was running the dedicated server and then created a game server. I then logged into the game from my other PC and then played with others on the server.Now comes the test when I left the game the server didn't kick anyone. Does this indicate a software issue with the version of RFSAU that I'm running??? It does not appear to be router related problem anymore which I first thought. I've tried to contact Hermits who created the software but his email address is not valid anymore.If any one has ANY ideas please post. Thanks!!!!!    Modified Jul 15th, 04:51pm by NAB NoClanFrank    Posted 15th Jul 2006 10:43pm Post 2967 / 5840 I didn't read the whole post but basically your solution is this: 1. The Server PC (with RFSA 4) leave the forwarded port to the default 7755 2. The gaming PC should be set to 7756 (or any other port you desire ) You probably have a LINKSYS router. I use to have the same issue until somebody told me how to fix it. Now I don't have that issue. The problem is not really a router problem. It's actually a good thing. If it didn't do what it does, somebody might be able to hack into the router a lot easier. >Click Here< If You Don't Have a Social Life :/     NoClanFrank    Posted 15th Jul 2006 10:48pm Post 2968 / 5840 Quoting NAB a Linksys BEFSR41 router Ah yes there it is. That is exactly the same router I have. Maybe I should have read the whole thread before I posted the reply. >Click Here< If You Don't Have a Social Life :/     NAB   Posted 16th Jul 2006 11:26am L4Y Member Post 5 / 12 Hi NoClanFrank, Thanks for your help!!! I got it working. You were close. I had to force port 7756 on the server software then make the change in the router to 7756 also. Then I set up the router to 7755 on my gaming PC' All is ok now. Thanks again! WITCHES BREW is up and running as a dedicted server!!! WOO HOO    Modified Jul 16th, 02:27pm by NAB NoClanFrank    Posted 16th Jul 2006 2:57pm Post 2973 / 5840 The whole point that I was trying to make was that you can't force the same port on the same game without having that error. Well when you have a LINKSYS router. You could actually use any port you want, Red Faction is friendly like that as long as you don't force the same port on more than one PC if you are going to run a server, I don't know if that applies to playing only (without serving) but I doubt it. I don't know about others routers since LINKSYS routers are all I ever use for a long period of time. I tried a NETGEAR once...ONCE I didn't care too much for the interface, so I took it back. I'm glad that your problem was easy to fix. I know it was/is annoying when something like that happens. >Click Here< If You Don't Have a Social Life :/     NAB   Posted 17th Jul 2006 3:14am L4Y Member Post 6 / 12 Hi NoClanFrank, All I can do is thank you again for pointing me in the right direction!!!
