QSS1

Reapplied everything and managed to fix it, though it then didn't work again next time I started it. Very finicky... thank you very much for the help though

I am able to access the server in browser, yes. And I did uncheck both of those options as well

I've followed everything here to the letter otherwise, not sure what could be going wrong

I went and applied the above but it is still not connecting. Tried with and without the modified NesysService.exe just to be thorough I did get the following output in the server log however

Hello! This guide worked perfectly for me except for being able to connect to the local server instance. I am not sure where/what exactly the "host file" the server guide describes is, or alternatively how I may be able to patch the NesysService/game.exe myself (the guide mentions using Bemani patcher on a 4.52 game.exe which I don't think I have, I tried applying patches to the game.exe from this guide's downloads using the website linked in the Bemani Github but it did not work properly) Help would be extremely appreciated!
