Default server 'SPT-AKI' is not available

i tried installing yesterday but the automatic install didnt retrieve anything except the game client files so i tried a manual patch and manual install of spt and what not but had this issue so this morning i used the automatic installer and it retrieved all files but still upon opening server and it saying happy playing the launcher gives me the error: Default server 'SPT-AKI' is not available, i looked for the log files and Bepinex files but couldn't find them. bepinex had no log files and client had no recent log files.

and yes both the server and ports match.

i start the server and let it run until it says happy playing then i launch the launcher. and if by tried you mean spammed the crap out of the retry button, then yes.

i deleted the launcher folder, booted the server then opened the launcher once the server was ready but same error

like this?

i do have ESET for my security, and i did have a proxy on i tried by just turning the proxy off but that didnt work and i also tried turning off the eset security so firewall and all that but it still wouldn't work same error message.


im gonna be out of the house for a few hours but i'll be back later.

i don't understand what's causing it, would like to have a fix sooner than later
