Hi all,
If I miss posting info needed, please do not beat me up. I am trying to follow all the rules in the pinned thread. I've been a player of 7DTD for quite some time. I have played solo, hosted multiplayer and dedicated server multiplayer (hosted externally). My issue today is with a dedicated server that is hosted externally. I was able to get the dedicated server online, no issues. However, when I go to connect to the server, it does complete the handshake, but never gets past the loading screen. Yesterday, it got stuck at "starting game". Today it is stuck at "Creating Player". I don't have any mods. Just vanilla game.
I am running Windows 10, playing 7DTD via Steam. I am normally running on VPN, but I have also tried without the VPN on. I have tried to connect on two different machines, and with the same result. Other steps taken include:
I was able to get into the server twice last night, both times with the VPN off, but also had trouble connecting previous to that test, and then I am still unable to connect with it off today. I had someone else test the server, and they were able to get into it just fine...so it's not looking like a server issue. There has to be something locally causing the issue.
I can connect to a solo game, and also was able to host my own local game with someone else.
Internet speeds do not seem to be the issue.

Any help would be appreciated!

- Turning off EAC in launcher, and serverside.
- Verifying game integrity files
- Creating new save games on server
- Removing old saves from A19 locally.
- Updated Steam locally and server side
- Opened ports for the game and Steam (even though I shouldn't need to do this)
- Tested with Windows Firewall off
- Confirmed IPV6 is not on and causing conflict
