No server ID while hosting

[Xenonlord]

(SOLVED)

Hey

So i have been trying to play stellaris multiplayer with a few friends and have managed to join there games as long as i get the server id from him and join that way however whenever i try and host a game it never shows a server ID with the only difference being i own utopia.

We arent running any mods just vanilla stellaris and our checksums are the same as we have managed to play while he hosts.

Some of the things i have tried to fix the problem :
- Added the port forwarding from the steam help page
- turned upnp on through my router
- gave full permission to stellaris through my firewall
- turned my firewall off entirely
- Checked we were both on the same steam download region
- fully deleted my game and all files from my documents and reinstalled

at this point im open to any suggestions

The solution :
Close space engineers dedicated server in task manager apparently medieval engineers can cause the same problem just incase anyone comes across this issue.

Can you play CK2 Ok with the same people?

Are you sure you don't have any other firewalls, maybe in the router?

Added the port forwarding from the steam help page

Turn off all port forwarding as these games do not use it.

Here are the ports that have to be open:

You might use some of the free sites out there that tell you if ports you think are open, are really open.

I have found the solution , it was space engineers dedicated server running in the background once that process was closed in task manager it worked pefectly must be a conflict of ports.

Thanks for your help
