My friends can't join my server, I just set it up. Localhost works perfect BUT. My friend can't join, I saw someone writing about port forwarding 30110 and 30120, which I did in my router and my firewall, but my friend still can't join the server even after he tries to search for it using my public IP address.
When this happens, make sure other people can connect to your server using direct connect. This issue usually is a result of bad port forwarding or some firewall issue. Make sure your network configuration is correct. Server configuration is also important. Your server is listed in the server list if you use the default server.cfg example. It's possible that you have removed the # in front of the following line in your server.cfg, doing so will make your server show up as private and users won't be able to join it by using the server browser (the connect button will be disabled), but they will still be able to see your server. Please make sure to add the # in front of that line like shown in the example above. If this # is already added in front of the line, then try the following steps. Check if server is reachableAlternatively, use canyouseeme.org. Only works if you're on a Windows server or a Linux machine with a GUI.
If the server still doesn't show up on the list, make sure the following vars are set (they should be, assuming you used the default server.cfg example):
The server will display an error upon startup if they aren't set. Could it see the service?
Could it NOT see your service?There could be a lot of different problems, most likely it has something to do with one (or both) of the following:
My server can't use 64, 128, or more than 32 slotsUsing more than 32 slots requires OneSync. The maximum slot count supported with OneSync is 128 slots. OneSync was publicly released in April 2018 as early access and made available for everyone in June 2019. However, the support of 32+ slots did not leave early access, yet. Hence, you still require an active FiveM Element Club Argentum (or higher) Patreon pledge tier or be part of the manually granted OneSync EAP. To use more than 32 slots follow these steps.
If you are not seeing the changes in the server list, be patient until the server list updates. You will see the changes already in Direct Connect. My server's name doesn't have colorsYou may be experiencing this in different cases. For example, the server colors show in Direct Connect, but not on the server list. Or it doesn't show at all. There are a couple of reasons why this may happen.
