Game Server Public IP Address: 158.69.57.87 2.Game Server UDP Port Number: 21715 3.Game Server Location: US If you have any questions, please let me know.ThanksLuigi123
wolstech Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 We recommend changing the game servers port to one that's already open. Is there a reason you cannot do this?
Guest Marko30 Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 We recommend changing the game servers port to one that's already open. Is there a reason you cannot do this?I think that's not possible because he is probably not hosting game server. Game hosting companies usually do not change the ports because it can interfiere with other services.

Game hosting companies usually do not change the ports because it can interfiere with other services. You'd actually be surprised. I've seen hosts change the ports on request, though it usually requires the user to explain why to their support. We have a few non-standard ones open specifically for reasons like this. The odds of a game host already having all of the non-standard ones in use is virtually none. I recommend 51990 since I use it myself. If you search the forums you might find another few that were opened for users (though I can't guarantee that any of those are still open).

Yeah, most game hosts use the different port numbers to separate the various instances of the game server. That way they don't need a bunch of public IP addresses. Ports are free, IPs aren't. Then they tell you to use a SRV record (which is sort of like an A record, but has a port number and a few other differences) so DNS will specify the port for the game to connect to atuomatically, as opposed to the end user typing the number in.
Guest Marko30 Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 I'm using Game Server Hosting.You should ask game hosting support to change port of server to 51990. @wolstech said that this one is open.
wolstech Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 To add to Marko, some will do this for you, some won't. If they won't, let us know and I'll escalate it for you.
Luigi123 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Posted September 29, 2016 Alright, I'll contact them to see if they can change the UDP Port Number to: 51990.
Luigi123 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Posted September 29, 2016 I talk to my Game Server Hosting and they said they can't change the UDP Port Number to: 51990.
wolstech Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 This support request is being escalated to our root admin.
Luigi123 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 How long do I have to wait to get a response from Krydos?
