Alrighty now,
I've read quite a few people who are having this problem but OP's never reply to the thread to continue diagnosing the problem.
So starting off I'd like to say my problem is my inability to connect to my friends dedicated server and vise versa.
We both can connect to our own (running on our own machines) and to other public servers.
But when we start trying to connect to each others it does not work. (No, we don't both have servers running simultaneously, we run one on mine...try it...then close mine and try one on his machine. Never having any luck)
We are both pretty familiar with port-forwarding and server hosting and allowing the right things through windows firewall. And we have taken every step we can find online to ensure we are port-forwarded correctly for starmade.
We both have the same version of starmade. (v0.19174)
We have tried every combination of opening with steam app and with just clicking the .exe
We have tried every imaginable IP address (Public, IPV4, etc.)
Whenever we select "Start Game" it never gets past "Connecting to IP##.###.###.#.#.:4242
Is there something else that we're missing?
Any help would be super appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
