FX SERVER: Server could not be found - guid instanse

My server won’t show up in the serverlist nor can I direct connect to it with the new FX Server. Works like a charm when I start up CFX server.

GTA V version? Newest, Steam.
Up to date? Yes
Legit or Pirate copy? Legit
Windows version? 10 (ovh server)
Did you try to delete caches.xml and try again? Yes
Error screenshot (if any) https://gyazo.com/46a1074ca93b47c27a16cb57b65fac2a (guid error) - https://gyazo.com/eaa34376655e74524c23206352d24439 (Whole cmd).
What did you do to get this issue? Try to run FX Server
What server did you get this issue on? Our own.

In the cmd i do the following commands:
cd c:\fxserver\serverdata
c:\fxserver\run.cmd +exec server.cfg
The folders are correct.

Check screenshot hence this is where I believe the error lies. Basically my server is set up according to all the documentation and several youtube videos.


Thanks for the answers. The solution was really simple. Reinstall the server, leaving the serverdata folder (with gitignore, server cfg, resources and cache). I think it was an error on the windows release that did it. Installing those new files made it work like a charm!

You need to port forward.

Which port(s) do we have to open?

30120 both TCP and UDP

If it asks for a range you just do 30120-30120

I just opened those ports and it’s still not working.

Try 30110 which I believe is the heartbeat ping. Otherwise make sure you forwarded the correct local IP Address. Did you use your default gateway?

  • Open up Command Prompt by typing ‘cmd’ in your start menu:

  • type: ```ipconfig /all`

  • look for the one that says:

IPv4 Address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.x.x (Preferred)
  • x will be some number between 0 and 255… But anyways you need to make sure that’s the IP you forward the ports on.

I have opened ports before, I have an icecast server. I’ll try opening 30110 too but the problem is deeper than just opening ports because I can’t even connect locally.

What error does it give when you try to connect? Connecting… forever? Or does it just say connection failed?

If you’re on windows make sure your loopback adapter is working properly and that the string localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1

If you’re just typing localhost try typing 127.0.0.1:30120 in the server connector. Also try running on a different port. If that doesn’t work re-download.

When I go to direct connect I type localhost and nothing comes up. Also tried 127.0.0.1. Using CitizenMP it works just fine, as soon as I type localhost it shows up just fine.

If citmp works and fx doesn’t that just means you set it up wrong. Can you upload your entire server console to pastebin or something. Did you make sure to setup server.cfg?

Alright, here is my console window, and for the server.cfg I used the example from the wiki and left it as it is, didn’t change a thing, just to make sure it works.

Thanks for the answers. I’m using ovh provider and the ports are open.

Yup, can confirm, latest build works.

The GUID Instance error is common in FXServer, you can ignore this for the most part.

It even happens on clients, if any of you’d checked your CitizenFX.log on there. :stuck_out_tongue:
