Taking long to connect to server?

Recommended Posts

Hello folks,
recently we noticed that the time needed to connect to our avorion server is oddly high.
Once it is connected however, the loading of game data is at normal speed an also gameplay is fine.
Is there anything special I can look into inside the server config?
Server is running headless on v1.2 on a ubuntu server
 
Greetings

My first guess is to make sure both UDP and TCP ports on all of the right numbers are open in the router. I believe that Avorion will fallback to pure TCP over the game port, but the game is probably trying other options and eventually falling back to that. I have TCP and UDP open to 27000, 27003, 27020, & 27021 for reference. I'm pretty sure those don't all have to be both TCP and UDP, but I know in my case that the extra protocols aren't going to hurt.

Thanks for the tips regarding ports!

After checking for ports, I noticed that the server is running on the custom port specified in the server.ini, however when I add the server to the list in "Join server via IP", the automatically selected Port ist 27003, which is not the port I specified.

netstat on the server only shows my specified ports being active. But I can connect and play via this port.

On the other hand, when I add the server with <ip>:<specified port>, the server is listed as unreachable and I cant connect to it.

 

Is there any other place where I can configure ports? What am I missing here?

I have checked all relevant ports and opened them in the firewall

Allowed following ports:

This the serverlog when a player connects:

Occasionally there is also something liste like, "remote cant communicate via UDP, falling back to TCP"
