[0.18.18] IPs with port suffix is not a valid address.

used to be allowed to have port number after the address, now that IP having anything after would simply say "domain is not a valid address."

the domain was previously valid after adding a port number.
as of this thread was created, it is invalid.

Domain name you entered does not exist anymore. For example try to ping it in windows command line. If it says "Ping request could not find host <domain_name_you_entered>. Please check the name and try again." then the game won't be able to connect to it either, of course.

If I try connect to

Code: Select all

www.google.com:34197
it will start connecting (but will fail after couple of seconds with different error, becase google doesn't host Factorio servers of course :D)
