since update to V1.1 (b16) serverjoin by internet is impossible

My provider does not provide an public ip4 adress, just an ip6 adress. Before newest update to 1.1(b14) i could host a dedicated server, and with all network protocols activated in server config the server was visible in server list and joining was no problem.

Since latest update that changed: The server is still visible in server list, but even myself can not join via serverlist. Everytime you get the error "Could not retrieve server information."
I can join using the internal network ip without problems, but my friends (and me) can not join via internet because of that error.

Did i miss any change that i have to do in server config or is this a new "bug"?
Has anyone a solution for that?
(router is configured with ports)

Before update it worked all fine...

Yeah, this is your issue. Most software does not support IPv6 yet. Never mind that it has been a known issue that IPv4 addresses would run out for like 30 years, and IPv6 has existed for nearly two decades.

IMHO, this is a huge failure of all developers to not support the protocol.

And before the update, you would have had an issue with it. This isn't a new change caused by the update.  The client doesn't support creating a connection with IPv6. It never has.

 
okay, maybe i gave too much information. Before the update the server was reach- and joinable by serverlist (and IPv4). After update it is reachable (shown in serverlist but with no ping) but you cant join anymore. Inside my private network i can join by server ip. If i use a dynamic adress (like duckdns.org) which points to my external ip4 adress, i cant join anymore.
So with update for not fully port-forwarding configurations i cant play on that dedicated server with external connection anymore.
Before update it was possible with both network protocols activated in serverconfig without any problems.
That is why i think something happend with the last update, so maybe the steam protocolis not fully supported anymore.

Beside that, i can join using the ip6-adress for direct connection, so technically that is working. But also there: if i try same thing from external point, i get the "Could not retrieve server information" error.

The only thing changed is the update to V1.1 (b14).

 
interesting... i deleted the tfp_harmony folder in mods (which is vanilla) and now the connection via server search list ist working.... 
Just a workaround, but with this it should be some game bug i guess...
