Any clue how to fix this ? ports are forwarded in windows firewall and router firewall.

If i use online port check then the server and telnet ports are open but the web port isnt..

Can you screenshot the Server Connection tab in settings, please?
Can you also do version in game and screenshot the results?

Are there any errors in the RAT logs?
 
This is concerning:

My guess is that this is the issue, and the webAPI never starts properly.

Maybe do a steam validate on the server files? See if something was corrupted. I'm not 100% sure on this, but it feels a little... lower level than configuration, based on that error.

thats my guess too.. because there is no signal (request) coming on the web port.. im using the update server bit of RAT4 or better to use steam it self ?

They perform the same function really as RAT just uses SteamCMD under the hood. But... RAT also closes the SteamCMD window, so... there might be something there that you are missing, etc. So if you can't see the output well, I'd recommend doing a validate from the command line and see what the results are.

after update its the same message
 
i think i might get a different machine for the server and try it that way instead of running it on my local machine.
