How to fix "connection attempt failed because connected party did not properly respond" error?


Recommended Posts

So I have a multiplayer server up, and I finally decided to transfer all its data over into a dedicated server folder. I followed the instructions on the wiki and for some reason the person currently trying to join keeps getting this error no matter what. I have no issue connecting myself since its hosted off of my PC. This was not an issue until I transferred it into the folder. Any clue how I can fix this without just starting a new world? We've just gotten past the copper age and I do NOT want to have to restart.

any fix for this? i get it when trying to connect to my friend, and he gets it when trying to connect to me. he was also only able to connect to me once and even then only for a couple minutes before he crashed out.

There is a fix most likely but it's hard to troubleshoot from a post. The generic answer is that it is a port forwarding issue, but if they could connect before then it should still be possible.  Check the server log to see what it says and use an external website to ping the port to make sure it is open.

i tried checking the port to see if it was open from a website, but it shows that ALL the ports were closed. anyways, it just decided to work today somehow......
