BF:V Server Advertising.

FlashAM · 09-10-2004, 01:31 AM

I'm hoping someone here can help me. I've been to like 7 different forums and emailed EA and Gamespy directly. I'm running a BFV server for my clan and have been trying to get the server to advertise. I have the ports routed, I can see traffic incoming on port 23000 for gamespy, however my server is not showing in Gamespy or the In-game browser. ASE works fine. I send out the packet to master.gamespy.com, however I get this in return:

21:29:14.764033 master.gamespy.com.27900 > captain.nc-65-40-171-70.sta.sprint-hsd.net.23000: udp 91

Now I have opened port 61016 (which btw, changes every time the server is restarted in the range of 61000 - 64000), and this is what I get on that port.

I'm at an utter loss to explain any of this. If ANYONE can give me ANY advice, I would be very grateful. I've been trying to get this working for MONTHS, now.

TIA.

ROLF!!! That should be the joke of the year. HAHAHHAH I CAN't stop laughing.. OMG!

Ummm...well, if no one here knows anything I might be able to try, can you recommend somewhere? This has been going on for a very long time and I would like to get it solved.

Thanks,

Are you yourself running the server on a home computer? Or is it being hosted by some server company? If it's being hosted elseware, try contacting the company for support.

But it sounds like ports ranging from 61000 - 64000 need to be opened...

FlashAM · 09-22-2004, 11:55 AM

Hi Mac, thanks for the reply, and I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I've been out of town.

Yes I'm hosting the server myself, and to be honest with you, I have tried opening up those ports. No change. Although now, I get this on one of those ports (be advised this changes every time the server is stopped and restarted)

But I still get the error about unable to query the server.

Hmmm, I still looking up some info about it. But first things first, you have tried reinstalling the game right?

I'll try and get back to you as soon as I can with what help I can give...
