7dtd IP binding

Post by Werkrat »

We just switched from managed to unmanaged, everything has gone fine, except trying to use a 5th ip for 7 days to die...

No matter what I do, the server keeps reverting to the main IP. Was there something special you guys had to do to be able to use the specific ip? Rust works fine, but they allow IP binding in the batch startup line, 7dtd doesn't seem to support that and it wasn't in the startup line before. Editing the IP in the config doesn't change anything, either.

I think the only thing you can do is allow it to bind to the main IP and change the port in the config. If I recall, only thing you can change is the IP in the serverconfig.xml file. Been a while since I set up a 7D2D server. :?

<property name="ServerIP" value="external ip here"/> <!-- IP address for server to bind to. -->

This used to be the command. Not sure if it still works, but you can give it a shot. Put it in your serverconfig.xml file.

After doing some searching on the 7D2D forums it seems the latest version of the game has a bug in the 64bit version that keeps the IP from binding. It will bind in the 32bit but not the 64bit.

Interesting, I haven't seen any mention of that. I'll keep looking for other ways. Thanks for your input :wink:
