I can successfully create and run 2 Halo Server instances from my host. Each uses a different port (3000 and 4000). I've create port forward rules for each. However in the Halo client browser only one of them shows up in the dedicated list. "Occasionally" I will see them both there and can join...

fyi...I changed my portable setting to false/0 and now just have server_playlist=myfile.hpl and it works fine. Thanks!

In the end I did option 4 and copied the contents of my playlist into example.hpl :) I also use the Play command once the server is running. I do have folder called Playlists in my halo2 server folder (where the.exe is) and I'm running as a Windows Service. Thanks for the responses

Thanks for the response. I had it set to a fully qualified name of a playlist file in a Playlist folder under my server install folder. As a workaround I simply copied the contents of my playlist into example.hpl. In addition from the h2admin command prompt: play "c:...\...\myplalist.hpl" also...

Recently updated and recreated my server. However the server_playlist setting in my server config has no effect. No matter what it uses example.hpl in the server directory. I also tried just copying my server playlist into the server folder, but that doesn't work either. I got around it by...

Check \users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Halo 2 Alternatively you can put one in your halo 2 ded server folder and use portable setting to 1 so it always reads and writes from that folder Here is a sample "h2serverconfig1.ini" file: #--- Halo 2 Project Cartographer Configuration File...

I finally got this working. It turns out it was a firewall issue I overlooked based on my old ports before these latest updates. Assuming you have the Halo 2 dedicated server installed 1. copy the files from the latest mod zip file into your halo2 dedicated server folder 2. Either enable UPnP in...

I ran a dedicated server under 0.4 and that has worked fine when starting with h2server -lan. Now the server still appears to start and says online, but my server does not show up in the game browser list with the Halo 2 client running on the new version 0.5 (Online was selected from the Halo 2...

How do I create or start a Dedicated Server under the new 0.5 version. Under 0.4 I started my server with h2server -lan. That still works or at least starts up, but it no longer shows in the server browser list (when selecting "online" from the client)
