    I'm trying to host a server on my PC like I've been doing for some time. It used to work without problems, but now I'm getting the "Please check the server is running" message when I try to join. I've tried joining from the Server browser and using "Connect to...". I tried a clean install from KAG and vanilla server settings.

    Am I missing something? Should I report it as a bug?

    Sounds like a firewall issue. Check windows firewall, add exceptions accordingly and/or check your router for correct port forwarding.

    I checked that :\ I even disabled the firewall and it still doesn't work. Before this build I had no problems at all :\

    You might try forwarding 80 and 443, but they don't affect much, really.
    I can host fine without opening those ports.

    I ended up checking my router, and it seems something magical happened and fucked up my config. After re-forwarding 50301-50328 everything works again.

    Thanks for the help :)

    Only 50301/udp needs to be forwarded. PLEASE stop giving incorrect advice to people about port forwarding

    Huh, didn't know that. From what I know, you had to forward all three? Just comming up with some suggestions that went through my mind.

    Good to know in the future, though.
