I've tried to change the port in the config.ini and yet the game constantly forces it back to default. The game creates a new config file if I set it to read only, then it crashes when I prohibit modification of the folder contents at all.

Is there a way to modify the default port without the game constantly giving me hell for doing so?

you can use either the --port or the --bind command line switch.

Are you un-commenting the port line? Just changing the number doesn't actually do anything since the line is commeted out (starts with a ;)

I failed to notice this (despite it being stated in the file too) and sure enough that was the problem. Thank you.
