How to have server show up on client list

I can direct connect to the server without any problem. Steam just does not seem to be able to get the info it needs to populate the clients.

Is anyone else running the CloD Dedicated server on a Win 2008 Server OS (64bit) ?

Edit: We run Server 2008 x64

The firewall is enabled with inbound/outbound rules for steam.exe and launcher.exe to pass data through any port.

Can anyone post their confs.ini file so I can compare ?

wildwillie,

Just noticed this. You're problem is in your serverDescription=Cliffs of Dover - Full Real Server

That line shows steam what "game" you are running, and by changing that line your server is not going to show up as it thinks you are running a different game.

Use serverDescription=IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover

I reset the line you suggested, but it still does not register.

Next is to uninstall and re-install Clod on the server to see if there is something else.


Very frustrating....!

Hi all

I'm also experiencing a problem getting the server to show up in the client list. I can't connect via direct IP either.

The server is running Windows Server 2003, based out of a datacentre in London. It's IP is externally facing, and is not (currently) running a firewall. The server has it's own Steam account, and even owns its own copy of the game!

I can start the server. I can missLoad (e.g. 128Bobv1_6.mis). I can see the server start up, and the timed chats etc occur. I just never see the server in the list, and cannot connect directly either. If I run another game server process (e.g. ArmA2 or Rise of Flight) I can connect just fine.

My confs.ini

[NET]
serverName=Test-Dedi
serverDescription=IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover
speed=100000
localPort=27016
maxPlayers=128
serverInfo1=
serverInfo2=
serverInfo3=
serverInfo4=
VAC=1

[Console]
IP=20000   <-- have tried changing this
IPS=        <-- have used the server's IP, and also tried this empty
LOG=0
LOGTIME=1
LOGFILE=logs.txt
HISTORY=128
HISTORYCMD=128
WRAP=1
PAUSE=1

LOGKEEP=1

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
