If your server is running on your own computer, connecting via your external IP could cause weird issues. I've noticed this myself when I was messing around with that.

I worked around it by setting the server IP to 127.0.0.1, which would mean that if someone connects to the server they would be connecting to 127.0.0.1 instead of my real server. This was fine for me because I just needed it as a dev test server.

check your ports are open while running server. If not, open them.

I had the same Problem.

2350 TCP & UDP General, open
3450 TCP & UDP P2P, open

"Could not connect: UDP initialization failed"

In my case I fixed it by adding...

Code: Select all

<bind_ip_address>YOUR-SEVER-IP</bind_ip_address>
...into dedicated_cfg.txt
