Hi there, I dont speak english at all so dont ask me too much.
My problem is that i always played sfd hosting my server without any problems but a long time ago i started to have a problem that doesn't let me host because the port can't be set or something like that. The weird thing is that i played a long time without having problems so, any help PLS?? I know you people can find a solution D:

Have you tried to enable the ports on their own? Maybe you have a problem with the router?

If it says that the "port is already in use" it means that the port is already in use and can't be used again. This can happen if SFD crashes and the process remains active. Check your task manager and kill any dead SFD processes that still remains active when you encounter this problem - that will free up the port.

It's something about port forwarding, you know? I try to host and it says trying to set port forwarding or something like that, before I had this problem that letters turned green saying that was all okey... I tried to open ports and that kind of things but nothing :/ im thinking to do a factory reset in my pc. Thank you anyway

See port-forwarding tutorials here on the forum and on the internet. SFD uses port 52233 UDP/TCP.
