Discussion Can't connect to Dedicated Linux Server running with WSL

I'm currently playing around with Netcode for Gameobjects. I created a really simple Game where you can join a server and run around a plane as a bean. When i make a build for the game everything works fine. I can let it run a s a server and connect as a client or let it run as a host and then connect with an other client. Everything works perfectly.

In the next step i tried to let it run as a dedicated server. When i build a dedicated windows server everything works still as expected but when i let it run as dedicated linux server it does not work. I can start the server without a problem. It also outputs the same logs like the windows server but when i try to connect to the server as a client nothing happens. The console outputs "[Netcode] Syncing Time To Clients" all the time and nothing else. After a while i get a timeout on my client (Editor). Im running the dedicated linux server with WSL (Ubuntu) and Windows 11.

I tried to run the server as sudo but it did not change anything.
I also tried to add a new rule to my firewall to allow the port 9000 for private networks.

Here is my Setup:
NetworkManager Settings:


Server Startup Script:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Server : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     private void Start()
4.     {
5.           Debug.Log("Start Server");
6.           NetworkManager.Singleton.StartServer();
7.     }
8. }

Player Prefab Script:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class PlayerNetwork : NetworkBehaviour
2. {
3.     #region Variables
4.  
5.     // >> Private
6.     private Vector3 m_moveDir = Vector3.zero;
7.  
8.     public float m_moveSpeed = 3f;
9.  
10.     // << Private
11.  
12.     #endregion Variables
13.  
14.     #region Unity Functions
15.  
16.     public override void OnNetworkSpawn()
17.     {
18.         Debug.Log("Spawn");
19.     }
20.  
21.     private void Update()
22.     {
23.         if (!IsOwner)
24.             return;
25.  
26.         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
27.             MovePlayerServerRpc(KeyCode.W, new ServerRpcParams());
28.         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
29.             MovePlayerServerRpc(KeyCode.S, new ServerRpcParams());
30.         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
31.             MovePlayerServerRpc(KeyCode.A, new ServerRpcParams());
32.         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
33.             MovePlayerServerRpc(KeyCode.D, new ServerRpcParams());
34.     }
35.  
36.     #endregion Unity Functions
37.  
38.     [ServerRpc]
39.     private void MovePlayerServerRpc(KeyCode keyCode, ServerRpcParams serverRpcParams)
40.     {
41.         Debug.Log("Client with ID " + serverRpcParams.Receive.SenderClientId + " pressed the Key: " + keyCode.ToString());
42.  
43.         m_moveDir = Vector3.zero;
44.         if (keyCode == KeyCode.W) m_moveDir.z = 1f;
45.         else if (keyCode == KeyCode.S) m_moveDir.z = -1f;
46.         else if (keyCode == KeyCode.A) m_moveDir.x = -1f;
47.         else if (keyCode == KeyCode.D) m_moveDir.x = 1f;
48.         transform.position += m_moveDir * m_moveSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
49.     }
50. }
51.  

I'm using Unity 2021.3.7f1

Edit: I tested it with Unity 2022.2.11f1. It behaves the same.

Thank you for your help.

 

Hello.

Yeah it is running on my PC. I uploaded the Linux Build to a Unity Linux Game Server and it works there.
Therefore it is a problem on my PC.

Originally i just wanted to test it on my local machine before uploading it to save time. Because it works with Unity Game Server Hosting, which was my goal from the beginning, i did not further investigate this problem and started to using the Game Server Hosting directly.

 

I tried it without and with parameters. I used: ./Multiplayer.x86_64 -nographics -port $$port$$ -queryport $$query_port$$.
These are the same for Game Server Hosting

 

I used

Code (CSharp):

1. ./Multiplayer.x86_64 -nographics -port 9000 -queryport 45678

It did not work. My transport settings are as follows:



I start the client directly in the network manager with start client. I don't do anything else.
Therefore the query port should not be relevant right? Or where should i set that?
