I’m going to do my best to provide as much information as possible.
I’m running the server on a windows based VPS via esxi (vmware virtualization) running on my own hardware.
The version is the latest artifact: 1180-6ebf2f8f67c8fdd21063be6f93a7690c49203bca
Here is the file structure:
C:\start.bat
C:\server-data (no custom resources currently just a blank default server)
C:\FXServer
Here the server cfg:
# You probably don't want to change these!
# Only change them if you're using a server with multiple network interfaces.
endpoint_add_tcp "0.0.0.0:30120"
endpoint_add_udp "0.0.0.0:30120"
# These resources will start by default.
start mapmanager
start chat
start spawnmanager
start sessionmanager
start fivem
start hardcap
start rconlog
start scoreboard

Not sure if location of the physical server matters but it located in Barbados (Don’t ask why)
Common response I’ve already tried/debunked:
is sv_master1 commented out? Yes as you can see above
Do you have a firewall and have you correctly opened your ports? (i.e portfowarding) I have the windows default firewall disabled the only firewall between outside world and my server are my ISP and my pfsense box which i’m 99% sure neither are blocking it.
My friends are able to join by direct connect with the ip (the servers up if you want to give it a try 64.119.195.125) and the info.json works when accessed through a browser. http://64.119.195.125:30120/info.json
pfsense has a feature to track packets that come in and out of your network and here are the results (this was tested on my desktop not the server)
I will also attach the raw cap file below for the more advanced users
packetcapture.cap (1.8 KB)
I’m new when it comes to networking but I’m pretty sure the server sends the heartbeat and the fivem master server responds back requesting the information about the server which my server responds to again (with the information) idk if anyone has secret contact with a dev to confirm or knows that this is how it works
Have you tried changing endpoint_add_tcp and endpoint_add_udp? Not sure about this one i think i tried it but it doesn’t make a difference as my vps only has one vnic although the physical server has more.
Have you been patient? (i.e “the server can take up to 5-15 mins to show up” ) I left it up for 12 hr…
So this were i’m currently at any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
