I feel like this is not an issue for this repo, but an issue for valheim itself, just posting this here as a sanity check

Hello, I've been debugging this for a few hours, my friend is already over it, but I can't really understand.
Before, when I was not using ENABLE_CROSSPLAY=1, my friend was able to connect without a problem, I guess it was because it used a different connection from playfab, when the crossplay is active everyone can connect but him, and when he tries the whole server is down for a few seconds until he disconnects, then it goes back to normal.

There's no real relevant logs but 2 connection errors that happen:

Well thats definitely a new one, are both the server and his game updated?

I forgot to add this, both server and client are up-to-date, same versions, me and the other friends all share the same version.
Also, the wild thing, when creating the server via game, it works without a problem and everyone can join, the problem seems to be related to the dedicated server.
I can't really test other options like LinuxGSM (to test if it's a dedicated server issue in general or just this container) since my whole game server network needs to be docker based.

Also, I did confirm that just enabling crossplay caused this, I just disabled crossplay, and he is able to play, but the xbox player isn't (obviously)

Just confirmed, it's still happening :(

He joins the game and the connection to the server drops, just like last time.

Thanks for letting me know about the update tho, it really could've been that
