Windows Dedicated sever refuses to be crossplay or show on browser for ps5.

Version

2.5 b27

Platform

Windows

Trying to set up a dedicated server on PC for me and a friend on PS5. I've searched for everything I need to do. Crossplay is true, it's a complete stock vanilla server, ports are open, EAC is on, ignore EOS is false, max player count is 8, our game versions are the same, and we have confirmed that we can play together on a p2p server. My friend on PC can connect just fine to the server. I've checked the logs and I've confirmed that crossplay is true there too. Whenever I try to connect to the server it shows as "crossplay off" in the server broser.

The server will not show for the ps5 user. He's tried searching for it by name as well as by my steam user name.

I for the life of me can't figure out why.

Just for reference compared to a dedicated server log which is console compliant and accessible by console users.
This appears to be an area of difference with some possible permissions/read/write access warning.

I don't know enough about what this means or how to fix it, so i guess it's time to go learn! I appreciate you spotting this!

Checking the log file. You have mods installed. Crossplay can not be enabled with mods.

Those are the 5 TFP dedicated server mods. Please ignore those. Sorry about that!

I can confirm that the TFP Mods bundled with the dedicated server files allow the server to remain console compliant.
The log suggests the following are being loaded, which are compliant on a working console server.

Is there something else you're seeing beyond these ones?

Hi, thanks for submitting your report!

Are you hosting from your own PC or from a server host? If self hosting, can you check to see if your firewall is letting through everything correctly?
