Fresh install of Overpoch server refuses connections from clients (SESSION LOST)

Question

Hello,

As you may see from the title, my freshly new server (re-installed on a new HDD and computer) does not function correctly. In the past months of Epoch 1.0.5.1 hosting and Overpoch (0.2.5/1.0.5.1) servers, problems of an error pop-up "SESSION LOST" did not occur until now.

** FIX TO THE PROBLEM HERE, THANKS TO PIXELDETONATOR. **

  • Try to open the steam_appid.txt and change ID number to 33930.

** FIX IN BOLD ** 

Steps of what I did prior to the server launch (.bat)

  • Port forwarded the port 2300-2305 TCP/UDP
  • Made sure all renamed folders were corrected in .cfg's
  • Reinstalled MySQL databases and made sure the username/password and DB name was correct within the HiveExt.ini
  • Triple-checked if any folder paths were wrong within the configuration files
  • Put exceptions in the Firewall for the specific ports above

 

After launching the server via the .bat, all seems good until I try to connect by 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
Although it shows as-if the server is working correctly, it shows up in the Multiplayer list and the MOTD then a pop-up describes "Session Lost".

Steamport and Steamqueryport were included within the config.cfg.

In the "instance_1_Overpoch\arma2oaserver.rpt", it does not show any errors during the log-on except the "Server error: Player without identity Bao (id xxxxxxxxxx)

Well this is interesting, your proposition did fix the entry error and it loads fine. Will come back with the definitive answer to this in a moment (you got to tell other people about that fix haha :P)

EDIT: It IS working. Thank you very much my friend, I'll post that in the main thread so everyone can see the fix if they have the same problem.
