I'm having the strangest issue with my DServer that I've ever seen.

 

I typically use my DServer to test multiplayer missions before I submit them (I fly with the Tangmere Pilots).  I recently decided to have a friend try to join it just for kicks and mess around.  Unfortunately, he cannot successfully get it to work.  He can connect to the server, and I see him connect, and the DServer shows him connected.  But if he attempts to select an aircraft and Start, he'll hear the "clank," the game will look like it's trying to load, and then the Start button will show green again.  I never see his plane show up.  If he tries to hit the Start button again, he'll get an "Already Spawned" error.

 

Oddly, if he selects Spectate instead, he'll appear inside a plane - and can even manipulate it (start up engines, etc.) - but I don't see him or hear him at all.

 

He also cannot enter into any of my multi-crew slots, it will tell him they are all taken.

 

With further testing, we disabled Mods and went online to some of the public servers.  On those, he has absolutely no trouble at all connecting, spawning a plane, and hopping into a gunner's position.  With this new bit of info, I then disabled Mods on my DServer's IL2 instance (in the Startup.cfg file), restarted the DServer, and connected to test.

 

Exactly the same thing happens - he cannot spawn, cannot join as a gunner, and "spectates" as if he's actually spawned inside a plane.

 

So clearly, it's an issue with my DServer settings - but for the life of me I can't figure out what would be causing this.  Does anyone perhaps have any ideas?

The first thing I would try would be connecting from a second local machine. Can you do that?

unreal...if you have not solve this, I just spent 4 days knocking my head against a table.

 

in your port forwarding rules, give the tcp and udp a range, not a single value.

 

ie if you are using 25000 tcp/udp  make rules that say this

 

 

tcp  any > 21000-25000

udp any > 21000-25000
