[0.11.1] Listener Not Active When Hosting

[pyhfol]

Evening,

Experiencing an issue with starting a multiplayer server as the port does not appear to be listening.

Originally I could not host, so my friend hosted instead. Now (after a restart) it seems that he is unable to host.

Running 'netstat -an |find /i "listening"' via command line, shows that neither default port (34197) or a custom assigned port appear to be listening.

This issue has occurred on:
Win8 - x64 - running 0.11.1 x64 & x86
Win7 - x64 - running 0.11.1 x64

edit: program has been reinstalled and system restarted multiple times

To double check, a port listener was run on both custom and default ports, Factorio 'started' MP without any binding errors. Use of the port check tool at ping.eu showed the ports as open until the port listener was stopped. Factorio was restarted and ping.eu used to check the port again, the port appeared as closed.
This sufficiently proves that my router settings are sound, and that the listener is not active within Factorio.

I doubt this would be related to a different service already running on my system.
Firewall is irrelevant as the system is not listening to begin with, however completely disabling the firewall was tried.

I have tried running the application 'as administrator' without success.
Running in compatibility mode also fails (XP, Vista, Win7)

Logfile says that it is hosting... but its not listening.

I have scoured the forums, the only mention I have found is: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =40#p49805

Any ideas anyone?

Some search tags: multiplayer port listener mp

[pyhfol]

Managed to get a game going, however port still doesnt appear in any diagnostics.
Port checker also comes up as closed.

Only change that was made was the installation of Tunngle (which failed to help) and the subsequent uninstall, perhaps linked to network adapters?

Will keep open and post updates.

Is this still happening in 0.11.5 (or 0.11.6?)

[cube]

I don't know windows netstat, but it seems to show only TCP ports. Factorio uses UDP.

[kovarex]

I tried the command, and the problem is, that the UDP prots are specified differenetly, just type

Code: Select all

netstat -a -p UDP

You will see the 34197 port used there.
