I'm hosting an ark server for a group along side some other game servers. My current setup is a windows machine at home hosting the game servers and using Zerotier to connect the PC to a VPS running Ubuntu hosting a Caddy with the L4 module.
All my other game servers with this setup work perfectly, except for a small issue with ARK Survival Ascended. It shows up in the server browser but it always gives a "Joining Failed, Connection timed out" error every time you try and join, UNLESS you manually connect via the "open IP : PORT" command. Then it lets you join and play just fine.
On a direct LAN connection to the server everything works as its supposed to.
Outside connections coming in have this issue "Joining Failed, Connection timed out".
I noticed Nitrado (of which this save is migrated from) uses a HTTP Listener Override config in the Engine.ini file of the game, however my config shows the HTTP listener bound to 127.0.0.1, and using the config in the Engine.ini to change it to port 8888 which is what's already opened for it by default, and the IP to the Zerotier IP. It doesn't seem to change anything.
I've also tried using different Caddy Configs thinking something wasn't configured right, to no avail.
