Headless client will not connect using arma3server.exe

Description

SO i found out today by doing some testing that arma3server.exe running as a hc will not connect to a dedicated server. But using arma3.exe will.

I rent a dedicated box running windows server 2008 r2

I also run tcadmin2 to manage my servers. I use steamcmd to setup the server and install the dedicated server steam ID 233780

My server runs fine, but when i want to run a HC from the same machine, i am unable to do so with arma3server.exe -client -ip=127.0.0.1 -port=2342

the client window just sits there doing nothing.

Steps To Reproduce

Install dedicated server with exile mod and using FuMs HC mission system.

add headless client to the mission.sqm

added to server.cfg

localClient[] = {127.0.0.1,94.23.252.71};
headlessClients[] = {"127.0.0.1","94.23.252.71"};
battleyeLicense=1;

in same server folder create batch file
start "Arma3" /min /wait "arma3server.exe" -client ip=127.0.0.1 -port=2342 -profiles=hc -name=hc "-mod=@Exile;" -world=empty -noPause -noSound

start server up and wait for it to fully load. verify can connect to server. then run hc.bat

hc will never connect.

change the server.cfg to include remote IP of my pc
localClient[] = {127.0.0.1,94.23.252.71};
headlessClients[] = {"127.0.0.1","94.23.252.71","70.65.176.234"};
battleyeLicense=1;

on local machine create bat file inside arma 3 game folder:
start "Arma3" /min /wait "arma3.exe" -client ip=94.23.252.71 -port=2342 -profiles=hc -name=hc "-mod=@Exile;" -world=empty -noPause -noSound

HC client loads and connects.
