How to connect to dedicated server with parameters?

Development Programming & Scripting

I am trying to do some multiplayer testing using the Network_Features map of ContentExample project.
I know in the editor we can just click the “run dedicated server” and set the client number to run server and clients.
But for some reason I need to do them with parameters and I found I just can not get the client connect to the dedicated server. (while listen server is working fine).

So I create two shortcuts for lunching the server and client.

Here is the parameters I used:

Server:
“C:\Unreal\Epic Games\4.10\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe” “C:\ContentExamples\ContentExamples.uproject” Network_Features -server -log

Client:
“C:\Unreal\Epic Games\4.10\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe” “C:\ContentExamples\ContentExamples.uproject” 127.0.0.1 -game -log

But it turned out that the client cannot connect to the dedicated server.

If I start the server as listen server, using

“C:\Unreal\Epic Games\4.10\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe” “C:\ContentExamples\ContentExamples.uproject” Network_Features?listen -game -log

The client can join it correctly.

So what is the correct way to start a dedicated server and have clients join it?

Update…

I try create an empty project using the third person template, and found that I can have the dedicated server running and clients connect to it successfully…

Parameters:

Server: “C:\Unreal\Epic Games\4.10\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe” “C:\ThirdPeosonTP\ThirdPeosonTP.uproject” ThirdPersonExampleMap -server -log

Client: “C:\Unreal\Epic Games\4.10\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe” “C:\ThirdPeosonTP\ThirdPeosonTP.uproject” 127.0.0.1 -game -log

So maybe my initial question is related with some kind of problem of the content example project?
