Port Forwarding and Game Server Hosting - UT3 (UNREAL TOURNMENT 3)

[ARPANET+ 2]

Hello,

im hosting a game server for unreal tournment 3.
the point is that the game server choice the wrong nic adapter to bind the ip correctly.

instead of 10.xxx it  set/choice 192.168.1.4 everytime...  it is a dedicated server.

so in this way is impossible put on internet the server of the game and let join the players.

i already fowarded the neded ports here in website dedicated section and set everyting in the .ini files of the game.

i never save or foward in my modem-router the fowarded ports for security reason. upnp is disabled too by me . using a vpn service.

setting manualy the nic priority the server game  not work...

As this suggests a problem with the dedicated server software rather than anything from AirVPN, I'm moving this to Off-Topic.

You can hope that someone else with experience setting up this dedicated server chimes in. Otherwise I'd direct you to other specialized resources for this game.

I think this is what network priority is for in Windows. You had to enable the menu bar by pressing ALT, then Advanced -> Advanced Settings. Bring the OpenVPN network adapter to the top and see if it changes UT's selection.
Relevant words: LAN wrong network selection by game server

hi,

i can go in advanced settings but cannot see nothing you show in your screenshot..
as example i cannot see air vpn tap in the adapters  list ect...
i see only web client network + windows microsoft network and host provider network  remote desktop
thank you

I see it was removed in later Windows 10 updates. Judging by the two articles, all it did was to change the interface's metric (how costly a path would be, if started from that network interface). Low cost is preferred. See the two guides:
https://www.ghacks.net/2021/11/09/how-to-change-network-adapter-priorities-on-windows-11/
https://www.isunshare.com/windows-10/change-network-connection-priority-in-windows-10.html

Before you change the metric to a lower value by following the instructions, please run "route -4 print" and figure out what's the metric for your LAN interface connections and the VPN (OpenVPN-TAP) connections. My name is different because I followed a guide on the forums to create a custom name.

Hello !!

You can send me "route -4 print" output in PM, remove unique identifiers like adapter names, MAC addresses. To see what it looks like on your system.
Have you tried to search for UT server guides for Hamachi/Tunngle etc? The exact same problem

hello and a big thank you to you guyz helping to fix the UT3 issue...
about "route -4 print" output seem something to do with linux based os ?
ordering the nics in advanced settings is not possible under latest win 10 x64 os...in that case i was able to fix it from time.
btw i appreciate your support 🙂
