Server Does Not Display on Lan While Running Phantom on MacOS

[paulbowman]

I am running phantom on MacOS and trying to connect on an Xbox One. I have tested the exact combination on a different network, mac, and console. I have left a screenshot of terminal.

Hey @ViperPB this sounds a little like the issues i have observed on issue #29 where i am getting inconsistent connection to the xbox.

[paulbowman]

I really don’t see how. This is a matter of it not showing up to the console.

I'm seeing inconstant discovery by my xbox even when using port 19132.

I see what you are saying read it wrong the first time, have you been able to find a solution? I may try to rollback to 2.0 and see if I can get it.

How long are you waiting? Sometimes it takes a few minutes for it to show up in the "Friends" list for me.

@firstdriverlesscar Its actually my friend doing it. I will tell him to wait 5 or 10 minutes. As an update to the version rollback, it didn't work.

I ran into this as well, but found a workaround. I had to manually allow incoming connections for the phantom-macos binary in firewall settings.  > System Preferences... > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options... > click "+" to add a new binary. It seems like macOS normally prompts for this...not sure why it didn't in this case. Might have something to do with the Gatekeeper mechanism which prevents untrusted binaries from running at first.

@natemcmaster ive tried allowing phantom in the firewall options but it still does not work unless i disable the firewall. Any advice?

[natemcmaster]

@seejaym - I'm not completely sure what I did to make it work. If you're on macOS Catalina (10.15), try removing the "quarantine" attribute: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./phantom-macos

@natemcmaster i am on catalina, i tried your suggestion but unfortunately it did not work

Hey all, have you checked the "Visible to LAN players" setting on your server yet? #80
