LAN server not showing up in LAN serverlist

(ASD) #1

Hi,

Im running a smal LAN server at home so we can play some lagfree QW the next days…
everything is working fine, we can connect to the server and play… ONLY we have to always use the “dicrect connect” or connecting via console because my server is not listed in the LAN serverlist…

is there a cvar (I havn’t found yet) that controls if the server is allowed to broadcast he is alive?

better late then never…
happy x-mas

are you maybe talking about net_LANForceAuth or net_LANServer?

Hi coldcookie,

this are the settings from this two cvars on my LANserver:

“net_LANServer” is:“1” default:“0”
config LAN games only - affects clients and servers
“net_LANForceAuth” is:“0” default:“0”
force authentication on LAN games

I also tried to set net_LANForceAuth to 1 but this hase no effect for the server showing up in the LAN serverlist
but I can’t no longer connect because server was not authenitcated

so I set it back to 0…

any other ideas?
