Whoops, thanks for jumping in, Mike! 
Alright, Blake, let’s take a more detailed dive since UDP can be a bit trickier to test directly.
-
Double Check Your Router’s Port Forwarding:
- Ensure both TCP and UDP for the ports needed by Abiotic Factor are forwarded to your local machine’s IP.
-
Use a Network Tool for Testing:
- Since direct testing of UDP isn’t feasible, using a utility like Wireshark can help. It’ll allow you to see if inbound traffic hits your network when someone attempts to connect.
-
External Friend Test:
- Have a friend outside your network try connecting to your server. If their attempt appears in Wireshark or similar logs, your forwarding is correct, and it’s not reaching the application level.
-
Check Firewall Settings:
- Ensure your Windows firewall allows traffic through the forwarded ports for both TCP and UDP.
Give these a shot and see how it goes. If you catch something in Wireshark, it’ll help us pinpoint if the traffic’s getting lost before reaching Abeotic Factor.
