In the video it says to open ports 2356-2358, but it's supposed to be 2456-2458, you have the correct one in your description
I need some help, my server is not showing up, can't join by the ip on steam, and he don't appear on the game… the .bat shows : 02/11/2021 23:57:12: Game server connected.
ive done all steps just as stated i dont get 2 screens when i run start_headless_server.bat. One opens and it shuts after 30 seconds … update Figured it out it was porting issue like everyone said. I have WOW and they set up a router behind a router. Wth is that!! 🤣
this works also without me been conected?, for my friends?
When I run start_headless_server it doesn't open up to cmd windows, any idea why that is?
Yo man thanks so much for making this video I never heard of your till I seen this and now I'm going through checking out wat other videos and games u done a video on but deff new follower and gonna keep watching keep it up great video alot of help for me as I'm setting mine up as we speak but is there a way like with ark to run the dedicated server and play on the same pc if the hardware can handle it
Nice video !
Question can I run this and then join the server ?
Do you actually need SteamCMD ?
To who ever it may help.
I changed the from 2356 to 2357 in the txt file. This I saw my server in the “community list” after I restarted the server.
The default is text is 2356
Hey, I followed this but I couldn't find my server on my list, though my friends are able to join who aren't on my network. What might be the problem?
How do I give myself admin? Is there something I type in the console?
how do i keep my server running when im not on?
server doesnt show up, this video is a fraud 🙂
i only get 1 black screen, the one that say type any to stop server doesnt appear, is it a problem ?
How do I write a seed for the server's world? Or just completely replace the server world with the one I already explored in? Help would be appreciated 🙂
So yeah. I can't get it to run at all. It opens the two windows, sits there about 10 seconds, scrolls down and then closes. No error messages other than to say unused assets removed to save memory. I've added a name and password and all that. I've tried with the default state of the dat file. I've added the ports to windows/router firewall. In AND Out UDP and TCP rules. I've disabled the windows firewall completely and connected directly to my router. Run as admin. I've even just turned off WIFI. It crashes the same way every time. The last line is a long one starting with (Filename: C:buildslave…bindings.h line:35) and then it closes. Given that it does the same thing with the firewall completely off, it can't be forwarding can it? I'm at a loss.
I can't edit the batch file and save it due to permission access even though I have full admin permissions on my computer
its strange the 2nd window dosent come up for me
Thanks for the video, but I have a problem. I open the server, the message "Game server connect" appears but when I open the game, the server is on the personal list, and when disconnecting from the world the server goes down, even with the cmd open.
Sorry my english, a hug from Brazil.
is this server public or i have to invite ppl?
I followed the tutorial but I do not have the ‘start_headless_server.bat’-file all I have is
start_headless_server
On my portforwarding xfinity bs. I have my machine selected. Opened both TCP/UDP port ranges from 2456-2458. Did that on my firewall also. I feel like I did everything right maybe I'm not letting my server load up long enough or something. I go to the steam servers and type my machine ip along with the port 2456 and it says "server not responding"
it also does not open 2 cmd windows when i start the bat file
I have one single problem, when i start headless bat file it opens only one cmd window , loads some stuff then it says server connected and i can see it in steam servers and join the server through my local ip. The ports are open but valheim isnt available to my friends, as if i was running the dedicated server on my local network only.
Followed multiple tutorials
Installed steam cmd, made sure i have all ports open everywhere for udp and tcp in firewal and router, the external ip is correct
Yet for my friends it shows the server is not responding, they can even see me in steam servers tab in friends that im playing something, but it doesnt show the game is valheim, only says server not responding.
So i feel like there is a problem with the two cmd windows that should open up since for me only one opens.
We tried setting up another server on my friends pc and for him its the same thing, only one cmd window opens up when he starts the headless server bat
We spent a whole day on this and no luck…any ideas? We are starting to feel like we either missed something very obvious or there is a bug somewhere that needs to be fixed?
why I cant search my own server inside the game?
how do we figure out what the ip address for the server is? I have given my buddies 2 different ips with ports but they couldnt find it
I have my own dedicated server but how can i enter to it ?
question: this server is avaliable only when i'm playing?
Opens only one window for me. What am I doing wrong? -.-
How do I choose a specific world for the server hosting?
can anyone answer if this is secure? we were port forwarding with my router with other devices before but they would be constantly bombarded by attempts to enter them from the outside. we had to shut off all the ports because of it. Does anyone know if the security on Valheim servers is any good (i assume not) and does the server get somehow routed through steam, and its security, based off of what im seeing in the video?
Thanks!
I tried to put in app_update 896660 but I got:
ERROR! Failed to install app '896660' (No subscription)
so basically i need to on valheim so people can play it right ?
well it tells me to enter a password, what do i do?
Instructions unclear. Greylings on my server! (not really, thank you for an excellent video)
I got lag when im playing coop with my friend, it is very often and so annoying, what happened? It is server down?
Mine only opens one window.
Still can't get my server to show up, people can connect to it though if they are told the IP:port, just doesn't show on the list of servers in game. Also Server browser in steam says that its "not responding". I am running my server on ubuntu, and OMG if people have servers taking 15 mins to start up … and burn my server, just tested the server coming up from clicking enter to run the script and it took 4.31 … seconds. But anyways yeah still doesn't show
im missing the ‘start_headless_server.bat’ file but i have the none .bat that just starts a window
is this dedicated server better than the game one? because the in game sucks
if you have a strong gaming pc can you host and play on the same machine?
hello my friend i'm not managing to install steamcmd on my windows, can you help me?
What if I didn't use steam CMD can I still update my server?
If i shutdown my PC will they get disconnected?
I did everything the video instructed, I only get one System box when launching the .bat file.
after typing login annonymous i get a password: and i dont know what or it wont even let me type anything
my second window doesn't pop up
