Well... still no luck for me here. I've been testing maps through the "connect locally" method. So I thought I'd try something with the server browser, Spadille, which I've been using lately. It has an IP-> AoS address calculator. So I entered my external IP into that and got an aos:// link with a negative(!?) number that is NOT the same aos:// address listed on the master server list. What more, if I enter said negative address into my browser... it loads my server!

So, for example, if the AoS master server list says my test server is aos://1234567890
... even the URL->IP calculator on Spadille reports that as my IP, which will NOT work. But using IP->URL replies with a completely different number, for example, aos://-123456789... which, of course, seems to WORK.

So... really, like... what the hell?

the problem isn't our fault. there's a bug in the client that has already been fixed but we're just going to have to wait for it to be released:
