Please clarify: Is port 2458 needed for dedicated servers?

1 votes

The "Valheim Dedicated Server Manual.pdf" says that ports 2456-2457 need to be forwarded. The "start_server.sh" says 2456-2458:
# Tip: Make a local copy of this script to avoid it being overwritten by steam.
# NOTE: Minimum password length is 5 characters & Password cant be in the server name.
# NOTE: You need to make sure the ports 2456-2458 is being forwarded to your server through your local router & firewall.
./valheim_server.x86_64 ...

So is port 2458 needed or not?

Hi Chris D Turk :)

No, you do not need all 3 ports anymore. We have talked actually a few hours previously to fix the text in the .bat file :P
The PDF is correct!
