server-support

[neat verge]

yeah mines on proton just the game itself, nothin fancy lol just makes the world and the world.backup file

[glass hare]

None of my servers have a _info either

[uncut breach]

so just massive rubber banding right?

[mighty burrow]

Can we have some more context, not sure what you mean.

[uncut breach]

me and the gang still loving it, but thats a game issue right? i got 40 lat

[mighty burrow]

Like, on a dedicated server or? in general?

[tribal parcel]

uh.. no idea? I have _info files.. lol

[uncut breach]

dedicated

[tribal parcel]

I'll take a closer look 😉

[mighty burrow]

Depending on your host, I am running the game with absolutely no issues or rubber banding at all.

[uncut breach]

what host, using bisect

[glass hare]

Likely worth asking about it in Bisects discord

[mighty burrow]

Hosting myself on a dedicated box. Just know... it's very likely your provider. We have been running servers and games with absolutely no issues.

[oak imp]

Anyone have gportal servers they can see and find but no one else seems to be able to

[glass hare]

We can't give support for other providers servers, idk if the Bisect guy in here wants us to ping him so I won't do that

[mighty burrow]

Yeah lets not, haha. I dont want this to become a provider help desk.

[mighty burrow]

What IP/Port did they give you? Lemme take a look?

[glass hare]

Working on a A2S API endpoint we can use to query servers too

[mighty burrow]

Dont you talk dirty like that... 😃

[oak imp]

Hold on didn't realize we couldn't post pics

[glass hare]

SourceInfo(protocol=17, server_name='Death and Disappointment', map_name='', folder='Enshrouded', game='Enshrouded', app_id=0, player_count=2, max_players=16, bot_count=0, server_type='d', platform='l', password_protected=True, vac_enabled=False, version='0.0.15.0', edf=177, port=15636, steam_id=90179878769884171, stv_port=None, stv_name=None, keywords='4;487046', game_id=1203620, ping=0.14099999982863665)

Wtf does version mean

[oak imp]

194.140.197.77:28300
Glitched Gaming Enshrouded

[mighty burrow]

That looks like a build integer.

[glass hare]

SourceInfo(protocol=17, server_name='Glitched Gaming Enshrouded', map_name='', folder='Enshrouded', game='Enshrouded', app_id=0, player_count=0, max_players=16, bot_count=0, server_type='d', platform='w', password_protected=True, vac_enabled=False, version='0.0.15.0', edf=177, port=28300, steam_id=90179874618378243, stv_port=None, stv_name=None, keywords='1;487046', game_id=1203620, ping=0.07800000021234155)

It's up

[mighty burrow]

their port is wrong... add it to steam with 194.140.197.77:28315

[oak imp]

Ok, I'm in bed on my phone, I'll see if players are available to try

[mighty burrow]

QueryPort is wrong... we've seen this before. I think GPortal has a bad node configuration somewhere. Make sure to open a ticket and tell them about it.

[glass hare]

Wdym? All my servers report the game's port not the query port

[oak imp]

Thanks

[mighty burrow]

bro... I dont even know... it's been posted about 100 times. #server-support message The port mapping is bonkersville.

[uncut breach]

i got like 5 guys going, you think its a provider issue, bisect pretty big, ive had no isssue with them in the past with other games, is anyone here using the gportal and not having issues?

[glass hare]

Oh, I'm not familiar with GPortal's dashboard but yeah they should probably add a giant notice somewhere about that

[mighty burrow]

I'm not here, or even trying to slander or say anything negative about Bisect, what I am saying is that experience... is not happening to everyone, nor is it common or standard. Something's going on with the host.

[daring scroll]

I don't even show the regular server port on our panel since it's pretty useless to customers. Query port only.

[neat verge]

Its more than likely just the node, I got a server running on our nodes and its just fine - if you send in a ticket we can check it out; we've been fighting w the cpu useage on proton being a bit gnarly when theres enough servers

[mighty burrow]

Yeah man dont go around showing your ports to people, its 2024 and that will get you in big trouble.

[glass hare]

Pterodactyl is dumb and I can't change it to show only the query port unless I feel like rebuilding the frontend

[neat verge]

Yeah its just machine by machine, we're trying to mitigate it most we can on our end but only can do so much until Linux distrib is out (at some point, hopefully)

[mighty burrow]

#122902526751145984 message -- idk man it seems like the development team on Pterodactyl is.... not doing so hot right now?

[daring scroll]

actual good one.

[neat verge]

Thats the only thing you can do yup lol

[mighty burrow]

Appreciate it Kringle, goodluck with it and empathize with the situation entirely. Again, not pointing fingers just setting expectations.

[glass hare]

I think it's common knowledge about now that ptero dev is dead. It's open source so I manage it myself at this point

[neat verge]

I hear ya, I know its not great for us but I know for a fact anyone on Linux has it when ya got enough servers haha - I'll never take that the wrong way, issues need fixed regardless of what the fault is

[mighty burrow]

I was linked to this by @pseudo forge today, keeping an eye on it.. https://www.moonlightpanel.xyz/

[glass hare]

How bisect even handles it at their scale is amazing to me

[tardy gale]

yeah our save is EXTREMILY screwed

[neat verge]

We've just rebuilt it xD Takes a while, but the features we got going are pretty snazzy lol our devs do good work

[tardy gale]

even loading it into singleplayer and then trying to level it up to level 3 it just doesnt save even localy. it just refuses to save

[mighty burrow]

Sorry to hear it Cowboy, If I come across any information on this I will send your way.. not sure if there is a fix or what's going on with it.

[glass hare]

I've never actually seen your guys panel, I should buy a server sometime and get inspired

[upbeat perch]

👀

[neat verge]

Hey man, 👀 come on over -the better features for clients the better for everyone

[quaint perch]

I'm trying to get a dedicated server going on a PC right next to my gaming PC - havent been able to find the server or connect - I've got the ports forwarded both in the router and in windows, but still no dice.

[neat verge]

Truthfully its been rough with keeping it all together when we add a new feature, some weird stuff breaks xD

[neat verge]

Theres a video in the faq in the chat that seems pretty legit for PC hosted servers

[glass hare]

This is super off topic but I bought a custom theme right, and I was like oh I'll just run the updater for ptero. It deleted the entire SQL DB. When I mentioned it in their discord i got told "lol get rekt"

[mighty burrow]

Their discord is super toxic dude. 🤢

[glass hare]

It really is!

[neat verge]

eesh yeah the one my VPS uses for personal use is Stellar, updating tends to break em - and I dont really go into the ptero discord for more than a quick search for a issue I cant figure out lol

[mighty burrow]

Bunch of linux nerds just raging at you for not being a linuxboy... I was there for 10 minutes and hated it.

[glass hare]

Never seen a community hate people for wanting to use the product the community supports. It's just insane

[mighty burrow]

https://github.com/PR3SIDENT/enshrouded-server watch the "SteamCMD" video/text guide section.

[neat verge]

some of em dont mind teaching, its just specific peeps come off wrong - I personally dont have the issue w em cause I dont ask questions until I understand everything up until that point

Makes explaining what I dont get / need help with easier, where as some people just go need help and they get uh.. snarky lol to say the least

[mighty burrow]

The fact they refuse to have, or support a single line installer... is just nuts to me. Have you seen the install guide?

[neat verge]

Yeah I dont use it, the script is easier and Ive never had a problem with it; did the manual install once and went yeah im good after

[mighty burrow]

"Scripts are not supported" is what they tell you.. and ...

If you expect to be able to install this with no understanding of basic linux system administration you should stop and turn around now.

[neat verge]

Yeah the kicker is like - I understand it, but its a Headache to do, so the script is easier xD If my issue isnt script related cry me a river

[mighty burrow]

Like, 1000x people would use the project if it was simplier to install. It's a GREAT product.

[pseudo forge]

Problem is, that the Installscript makes more problems than its helpfull.

[neat verge]

In mass producation maybe, but for a 1 off machine ive yet to have problems

[pseudo forge]

and the most people using it have No clue about Linux

[neat verge]

Yeah and thats why I get the rule - but you gotta understand the script is just a QoL for those of us who actually know what we're doing xD on a one off VM it doesnt really break anything; couldnt tell ya for large deployment

[tardy gale]

i think the whole ass game is just corrupted

because now i cant even start a fresh save and have it save. it just doesnt save anything at all.

[pseudo forge]

🤔

[neat verge]

havent had any issues with save conversion myself - is there backups you can use? or is it not saving period all of a sudden

[tardy gale]

the game is not saving even in singleplayer now

[mighty burrow]

When I see a project like that, they cant see the forrest for the trees. People want a solution, they want to use it, but they cant install it. They dont even do a half step of offering up people to help you, or a bounty board of pros to help you... so much missed opportunity, I used to run a 300M SaaS company, I struggle to see it to be honest.

[glass hare]

I mean I understand the avoidance of an install script, do you really want to give support to people that are trying to sell game servers and have 0 understanding how linux works. We have the same problem with paymenter. Like people have 0 understanding how to use basic command line but want to sell minecraft servers to the masses, makes 0 sense

[rapid steppe]

Theres always lgsm my dude. or even ogp

[mighty burrow]

I even had people DM me, after my public crucifixion in the Discord being like "Hey I am sorry about those guys, I will be glad to help you."

[glass hare]

The product is good it's the community that's toxic

[neat verge]

yeah its a select few, not really the masses

[mighty burrow]

Oh I am pretty sure some of them were mods, or elevated.

[glass hare]

I've had the same

[solid thicket]

Anyone mind helping me out with connecting to a dedicated server that I created?

[neat verge]

the louder minority is always heard over the quiet majority, as they say

[rapid steppe]

quick crusify him! oh wait, wrong server.

[glass hare]

Give this a try #server-faq message

[mighty burrow]

Tell us about your host/OS or setup so we can.

[solid thicket]

Ya I was following the server-faq but my situation is a bit specific

[glass hare]

NGL Slowmode is kinda killing me when trying to respond to multiple people 😭

[solid thicket]

Im using Windows 10 Home for hosting the dedicated server and running the game on the same host

Was able to get the server running with the necessary prompts. Port forwarded all the proper ports, was able to add it to favourites via Steam Game Servers, only issue is connecting to the server or finding it within the game is the problem

[mighty burrow]

Can you connect to the server locally? LAN, etc?

[tardy gale]

dude my entire game is corrupted

[mighty burrow]

The only thing I can suggest, is you run a validate files on the game. Something really odd is going on with your stuff, and its getting further and further from the support scope we have here - as its increasingly becoming less and less server related.

[tardy gale]

fresh characters are not saving worlds are not saving. nothing

[solid thicket]

Thats what Im thinking, but all good. Just wanted to validate that it wasn't a game issue and more of a ISP/Hardware issue

[tropic linden]

How do I invite my friend to join me?

[glass hare]

#troubleshooting might be able to help, that's well beyond the scope of what we handle here

[mighty burrow]

That message wasnt for you Tea, this one was. #server-support message

[solid thicket]

Oh whoops

haha xD. So Im trying to connect to the server through my external facing IP

[mighty burrow]

So, start simple. Connect through local. Verify that works first.

[true siren]

Anybody playing with a Dualsense controller and the X and O are swapped and the ⏹️ and 🔼 are reversed? Even when I try to change mappings it registers an X input as a O and same for the other two.

[glass hare]

Connect with your LAN IP, most routers will not let you connect to your IP internally like that

[mighty burrow]

This is not a server question please go to #enshrouded-chat for help with that!

[true siren]

Sorry thought I was in support my bad.

[glass hare]

I mean...we're close but not quite

[royal iron]

Hi, I have a VPS with 4 cores and 8GB RAM, and I’m using the Enshrouded Egg on pterodactyl. However, the server is too laggy for gameplay. Are there any solutions to this issue, or should I consider upgrading to a better VPS?

[mighty burrow]

We'll support you personally my dude, but we cant help you with dat.

[main aspen]

If you can successfully add it in favorites and it shows there with the correct name, i.e. it can query it, then it will appear ingame at the top of the server list. Joining via the steam favorite list does NOT work and only puts you into the main menu.

[glass hare]

There is a known bug with linux causing insane CPU usage, it's entirely possible that a "better" VPS won't be any better either. But I suggest trying the proton egg if you haven't yet

[mighty burrow]

Which egg? The proton egg? or Wine64?

[solid thicket]

Ya thats what I was thinking but its not showing up at the top of the server list in game

[royal iron]

wine64

[mighty burrow]

Switch to this: https://github.com/gOOvER/own-pterodactyl-eggs/tree/main/steamcmd/enshrouded you can migrate the save file between eggs. #1199772438377017424 for more help.

[royal iron]

thank you

[neat verge]

^^ Proton def has better cpu useage - it helps quite a bit, its not perfect but its improvement haha

[fringe pawn]

how can I completely reset a server - remove everything, all player progression, building etc. The only way I can tell is to redownload the server software. Deleting the save game folder just gives an error when trying to log in

[royal iron]

thank you

[neat verge]

depends how youre running it

[mighty burrow]

You didnt re-validate or update the server when you deleted the files. If its SteamCMD you need to pull the app again.

[fringe pawn]

Windows PC, dedicated

[stiff saddle]

We had 16 people on a similar setup and it was smooth.

[quaint perch]

Thank you that helped a lot!

[neat verge]

right but like - on any specific panel? Overall yeah easiest way is just reinstall fully, but deleting the savegame folder should work fine.. no?

[solid thicket]

What does the enshrouded_server.krc file do? Thats the only thing that pops out for me when Im looking at the logs

[pseudo forge]

but use the Proton Egg. Not the wine

[glass hare]

Everyone thank this literal god for that proton egg btw

[main aspen]

idk, but that error also appear for me and it doesn't matter. Maybe try adding it as 127.0.0.1:QUERY_PORT instead to check if it's a problem with port forwarding.

[stiff saddle]

I like it when my room is warm AF cause my PC turns into a heater.

[mighty burrow]

did I link the wrong one 🤦‍♂️

[stiff saddle]

There are two options he has a wine egg and a proton one.

[fringe pawn]

like just in windows from SteamCMD, but deleting the save folder, when I run it again, it recreates the save folder, but then joining just says "failed to create game"

[left coyote]

Anyone else getting "Game creation failed" on their server? My host is Nitrado and the JSON looks fine

[mighty burrow]

Restart the server

[stiff saddle]

Cycle it a few times.

[hushed hawk]

I'm getting a different issue where i can't find the server that shows it's online

[solid thicket]

Oh thats odd... I wasnt able to add it using the loopback address but I can add it using my external facing IP

[pseudo forge]

try to restart the server

[mighty burrow]

send IP and query port lets see.

[fringe pawn]

the revalidation via steamcmd worked for me, I think... just testing now. Yep, it worked

[neat verge]

yeah that should be workin lol reinstall is best bet assuming your json and stuff looks right / others cant connect either

[hushed hawk]

I'm running on WSM, and the Global server list check shows me online

[mighty burrow]

ok wait, dont post IP then if its local lol I thought it was hosted.

[stiff saddle]

Join via steam server browser

[mighty burrow]

delete 💀

[worthy quest]

it shows up

[hushed hawk]

can't find it there, can't find it via LAN discovery, made sure the firewall ports are open as well

[mighty burrow]

Sorry, I should really not be asking people to post their IP for testing in the channel. There are security concerns. Its different when its hosted off net.

[elder nexus]

@glass hare I love your grafana tools 😄

[glass hare]

Lol ty

[hushed hawk]

How did you find it?

[worthy quest]

you have 16 slot, it works if you put in your favorites

[stiff saddle]

See FAQ on how to add it.

[hushed hawk]

I'm attempting the server add via favorites

[main aspen]

Strange, I could connect to the same PC or another PC in the LAN no problem when I tried it, using loopback or local LAN IP respectively. The only thing I had to do when running it on my PC was set the IP (in the server config) to the correct interface because otherwise I would get "world creation failed" when joining.

[stiff saddle]

Don't connect in favorites window connect in the game once it is in favorites.

[worthy quest]

thats what I did

[solid thicket]

if I set the configuration to use my local IP, it would just revert back to the external facing IP when launching the server anyways

same with setting in 0.0.0.0 also does the same thing

[mighty burrow]

Tea I think you should probably post about the issues you are having in #1200093005902778469 - there are a ton of people in there who have had to troubleshoot networking issues off LAN, etc.

Start here: #1200093005902778469 message

[main aspen]

His is not a LAN issue, but that in any case his server doesn't show up in the list, even if it works in the steam favorite list 😄

[mighty burrow]

OH I misunderstood.

[solid thicket]

all good. Im just trying to troubleshoot on my end to see whats going on

[mighty burrow]

[left coyote]

I restarted my Nitrado server and now I'm getting "joining game failed" rather than "game creation failed"

[tardy gale]

so we might of figured it out. i verfied my files and not only did it fix saving. the game we thought was corupted is now saving on my pc again

[glass hare]

Hmm A2S doesn't get playernames. Whack

[feral verge]

Has anyone figured out why the "Game Creation Failed" thing is happening? Server was working previously, brought it down for a restart, and now it's not. Nothing has changed

[glass hare]

No idea why it happens but this tends to fix it https://discord.com/channels/1046840540550942720/1199902810154750124 Additionally it's been mentioned if you restart a bunch of times that will fix it too

[hot viper]

This the chat for paid hosting? Having an issue with apex hosting being unable to connect to steam, unsure if this is the spot for it

[glass hare]

We're not a support chat for providers but dedicated servers in general. Are you unable to find the server or only connect to it?

[hot viper]

Both, I have reached out the provider for support as well but just wanted to check if others had issues with it as well

Gportal is sold out at the moment for aus servers 😦

[feral verge]

So now it's working without a password, but with a password it's still doing 'Game Creation Failed'

[manic flint]

Any fix for the server being up but not visible in game yet?

[main aspen]

Not sure what you mean by that. Neither should the file revert itself, nor should the setting be ignored. For me it definitely binds to the specified IP. If I use 0.0.0.0 I can therefore find it with 127.0.0.1, the local IP and the public IP (granted that the UDP query port is forwarded). It will also appear ingame using either of them. (Joining only works if the IP is set correctly though, otherwise "game creationg failed")

This is how it looks like if I run a server on my PC and add it in all 3 ways https://i.imgur.com/pZNwxhr.png

[solar rune]

I think i'm having the same issue my friend can see the server and join then i can finally see the server

[frank glen]

[solar rune]

right click copy link @frank glen

I've found a way to find it!!!

[solar rune]

and add it as well!!! its definitely a region thing this server is hosted in germany!

Does any1 know where i should post this information for others???

[glass hare]

Do you have any special characters like !$@

[random ore]

Hello I rented a server on SurvivalServers, it has been my go to hosting for several years on Conan with mods and everything but on Enshrouded we experience .. actually.. The game is unplayable it's rubberbanding like hell so we had to make a private lobby :/ anybody knows why ?

[left coyote]

still getting "joining game failed" from my Nitrado server. Changed the password to something longer, checked the JSON, server shows up, but can't connect

[pale venture]

Should I upgrade my dedicated server version, every time a hotfix comes out, or do they remain compatible with the game client?

[spiral herald]

How long does a server on nitrido usually take to start

[random ore]

from my lasts experiences with nitrado it could take up to 30 mins i'm guessing, ask that question generally speaking on Google you'll have better findings, it's pretty general ngl

[spiral echo]

@mighty burrow once i get the server running in docker and ports are forwarded.. how does one connect to the server without an ip?

[left coyote]

My experience is it takes 15-30 minutes for a nitrado server to restart

[glass hare]

Good god why

[left coyote]

My guess is they're just a front for an AWS account and they have poor scripts 🤣

[glass hare]

If that's true that's actually disgusting

[left coyote]

I don't actually know, it's the only thing I can guess for thin client to take so long

[glass hare]

My servers take like maybe 15 seconds to restart so...yeah

[left coyote]

I still haven't been able to connect to my server hosted through them a single time since yesterday morning though, I'm probably gonna go get my money back and host it myself on AWS

[glass hare]

Honestly I don't think it would run very well considering how CPU hungry it is atm

I can confirm that CPU usage gets significantly higher the longer a server is running

[fallow sierra]

Hi.
I'm trying to install the server through Linux Steamcmd.
However, when I check after installation, only two files are created: linux64 steamclient.so .
I am not good in English.
And I need help.

[verbal wharf]

Rented a server on Nitrado. 4 of us played all yesterday. We logged off. Came back this morning and the server had rolled back about 6 hours. 2 people were on the server most of the day today. I joined them this evening. Then all of us logged off for dinner. Logged back in an hour later and the server had rolled back to the same place it had been this morning. All of our characters rolled back too. Including our inventories. I see people on steam and redit talking about this but no one is talking about it here.

[tribal parcel]

Hi there, I can help. you are missing something in your steamcmd:

Make sure your steam command looks similar to:

steamcmd +force_install_dir <PATH TO INSTALL FOLDER> +login anonymous +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +app_update 2278520 validate +quit

Specifically: +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows is included.

[fallow sierra]

wait i will try again

[shut iron]

Hello friends, ive got a strange issue where i can see my dedicated server (hosted privately on a separate pc) and its joinable thru the Steam server browser favorites. Everything then works fine so long as i am in the game. but my friends however can not access the server in game or in steam server unless im logged in to the server already. It simply doesnt show for them available once i go offline

oddly enough i can sign in to the server. let them join. then sign out and turn the game off and their session stays up and the world will save their progress

[unborn geyser]

same

[rapid steppe]

I had a situation where my servers were not listing after we bypassed the AVX issue, deleting the server json and letting the game generate a new one fixed this for me on two seperate servers. Just a heads up.

[glass hare]

This is the first I've heard this reported for a dedicated server

[tribal parcel]

Largely what's happening is that the game has it built in to allow "Steam Friends" to see what server you are playing on. If they can join you, that's great news, because then that means they can at least connect to you.

What your friends need to do is jump out of the game... and add your server directly to the Stem Game Servers list, which you can [click here to see how to do that](#server-faq message).

Now, they'll need to know your IP address and your QUERYPORT, which is what is needed in the Stem GAme Server.

Once they add it, it'll look like it's not running. But log back into the game.. and it should show up.

[tribal parcel]

That's interesting.

[rapid steppe]

There was most likely a unicod error in the og shipped json and it has since been fixed with the client patches

[tribal parcel]

oh interesting.

[rapid steppe]

you know spaces and tabs are not treated the same in different languages.

[shut iron]

They tried this as well. the IPv4 is a public address tho and it doesnt register

[tribal parcel]

what do you mean "doesn't register"?

[tribal parcel]

Tell me more.. 😜

[shut iron]

shows failed to connect

[rapid steppe]

Oh, I'm sure most people in here know this, I was just adding more info for those that don't

[glass hare]

shudders in yaml

[rapid steppe]

tell me about it, empyrion uses yaml out the wazoo

[tribal parcel]

Hehe.. I was being an smartass. lol

So which do you prefer.. YAML or JSON?

[shut iron]

essentially they can see the server. But its not registered under any game. They can see "Friends" servers but its just that random IPv4 public address. IT doesnt show the details of Enshrouded or that its even any steam game up.

[rapid steppe]

idk, they are about the same imo.

[tribal parcel]

yeah same.. I did a website running on Jekyll, and it's all yaml... drove me nuts. For some reason, JSON makes more sense to me laregly.

[toxic grotto]

what host is everyone using?

[rapid steppe]

Myself 😛

[tribal parcel]

I'm using a mixed bag of self hosting and GPORTAL.

[normal zenith]

Selfhost, it's not difficult.

[latent jungle]

can someone join my server to see if the lag spikes are fixed.
it doesnt lag until its more than me\

[rapid steppe]

sure

[tribal parcel]

how are you running it, and one what hardware and architecture?

[glass hare]

Quick A2S Query Endpoint I made https://steamquery.suhosting.net/server_info/node2.suhosting.net:15642

Format is https://steamquery.suhosting.net/server_info/{ip}:{queryport}

[latent jungle]

its a hosting plateform. but i switched host bc the first one just was not good at all

[tribal parcel]

what does this do?

oh neat

[glass hare]

Returns the query information for the server, so you can get player count, version, ect

[latent jungle]

anymore than just me and the game was just unplayable

[rapid steppe]

dm me the info and I will connect and idle or do what ever, im testing my own servers anyway so I can help

[bronze steppe]

Raw, quickly editable format like:
Variable = "setting"
Key = Value

^^

[thorn geyser]

Dedicated Server does not appear in the server browser
There are a few reasons why this would be:

1. The Server and the Game Client versions have a mismatch. If you have a dedicated server that appears to be running, please ensure that your game client and server have been updated to the latest versions.

2. Could be that the Query Port is blocked. Please double check that the QueryPort is GamePort+1 and that you have those ports open through your firewall for both TCP/UDP.

3. Lastly, if all above check out, you might just give the Server Browser in-game, 1-2 minutes to fully load, before attempting to use the Search to find your Dedicated Server

[latent jungle]

i dmed you

[fallow sierra]

I already installed steamcmd.
I already opened another game server and succeeded.
but Nothing happens when i Input Command like this

steamcmd +force_install_dir <~/Steam/steamapps/common/EnshroudedServer> +login anonymous +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +app_update 2278520 validate +quit

[rapid steppe]

Got it, but I don't see you in the server list.

[rapid steppe]

why do you have <> in the dir path?

[tribal parcel]

Take the <> out

[fallow sierra]

oh okay

[tribal parcel]

I see what you did there.. sorry if that was confusing.

[sage marsh]

I'm having these issues with my locally hosted server, even after a complete reinstall of the dedicated server machine OS and fresh Pterodactyl install:

4 players connected = totally stable. 5 players in = horrendous lag ONLY for the last player that joins. No lag for the first 4 players that join.

Constant "Server Overloaded. You are likely to experience issues." or "High Server Load. There might be some hiccups." no matter how much CPU, RAM, or storage I allocate to the server.

"[ecss] Could not add component ###### for entity #####" error in console happening frequently, unsure what it is

I've used this machine to host a plethora of servers to include Ark, Rust, MC, Conan, etc... with no problems.

**Server Specs:**Ubuntu 22.04Pterodactyl/Wings with all necessary ports forwarded, no firewall, HTTP connection, no proxy1000 down 1000 upi5 8500T (4C/4T (0-800% CPU Usage)), 16GB DDR4 RAM, 150GB Space <- allocated to the server

I'm using the Enshrouded Pterodactyl Egg found in parkervcp's list in Github.

Anyone else experiencing weird issues related to dedicated servers?

[hot viper]

Apexhosting still has issues with connecting to steam [Server] INFO CreateBoundSocket: ::bind to port 0 returned err[online] Server failed to connected to Steam 3

[tribal parcel]

Yes, so... we have a better egg. 🙂

I'm working to get the egg on parker.. BUT...

https://github.com/gOOvER/own-pterodactyl-eggs/blob/main/steamcmd/enshrouded/egg-enshrouded-proton.json

Use the PROTON egg

not the wine one

[sage marsh]

you are MY HERO. i will try it.

[tribal parcel]

This was our experience today after testing it:

[sage marsh]

WOW. I am getting 500%+ CPU usage on wine, like almost half a core per player

[tribal parcel]

Yeah, you'll see instant relief.

[sage marsh]

I am so grateful. Thank you so much.

[tribal parcel]

It was a group effort, and @pseudo forge did the heavy lifting.

[sage marsh]

Will I have to make a new server, or just change the egg and restart? o: I've never actually just changed a server egg now that I think about it...

[tribal parcel]

Soooo.. if you Update your current egg with that one.. you shouldn't have to create a new server.. but you'll have to verify your settings.

[sage marsh]

Thank you so much.

[tribal parcel]

specifically, make sure that you take out the OLD wine docker image

from the setting

[orchid turtle]

@tribal parcel Not sure who to ping about this but in the Server FAQ (https://enshrouded.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/16056312924957-Dedicated-Server-FAQ) on the website there is a typo, the question text is wrong for question 11, it's a repeat of 10:

"What is a typical indicator that the server is fully started?"

I think it should be something like:

"How do I join a multiplayer server?"

Please pass on to whomever can fix that. :>

I've told CUB about this twice.. I'm trying to see if I can get edit perms, but alas.. I'm just a wee volunteer. YOu'll note I fixed it in the #server-faq lol..

[tribal parcel]

It's not an error, it's excess logging. IF the game and server are functioning you can ignore it.

[hollow jackal]

ty

[sage marsh]

by take out the old wine docker container, do you mean after I create a new docker image via the startup edit -> SFTP -> delete the image?

[tribal parcel]

Nooo.. no need to SFTP at all.

I'm saying...

hang on.. pictures.

[orchid turtle]

Ah OK sorry wasn't aware it was already reported heh. It's a small thing given what they must be dealing with hehe. Thanks! 👍

[potent gust]

I just stood up a container using jsknnr's setup and it is working great!

[tribal parcel]

In your Server Startup tab.. after you update your egg in the Panel.. you want to take this out:

[potent gust]

So if you are looking for the easy way I could share the github link.

Didn't realize there was a 15 second delay lol

[sage marsh]

beautiful, thank you!!

[tribal parcel]

OH AND

Update your STartup Command

[sage marsh]

I assume I also take out the startup command that has wine in it (you beat me to it)

[tribal parcel]

yep

[sage marsh]

thank you! restarting & updating

[sage marsh]

getting a "game creation failed" in game

[tribal parcel]

restart the server like 2-3 times. (trust me on this)

[sage marsh]

😄 will do

[tribal parcel]

keep restarting the server until it works.

[mighty burrow]

Sick man. I’ll add to the tools

[thorn geyser]

4C/4T is not very good for any server other than a web server imo.

I run mine on 64 to 128 cores.

[potent gust]

Hey thanks for putting the time and effort to create the github repo you did.

[mighty burrow]

We could easily turn that into a discord bot for people

[tribal parcel]

Dude.. it's like you're in my brain.

[mighty burrow]

Happy to 👍 group effort!

[glass hare]

Indeed you could

I just need it to add player count to my panel but I'm happy to help anyone else that wants to use it, why a public steam query endpoint doesn't exist I have no idea

[sage marsh]

i don't know what kind of computer you have that has 128 cores but that is impressive! 4C/4T has never given me any problems, and it's usually not a problem for 1 game server and some version control

[tribal parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/at-star-wars-gif-24114949

[thorn geyser]

And using Wine to host a server is not good at all.. All that overhead... Using Windows Binaries in emulation..

[tribal parcel]

yeah we've moved from wine to Proton

[glass hare]

As opposed to not hosting it at all?

[mighty burrow]

I’m glad we’re on the same thought process if we turn into a bot people could put it in their server and have it update a channel with server information on cadence

[tribal parcel]

Yup

I'd add it our discord for sure.

not this one.. but my.. other one.

[glass hare]

Look at this cool guy with other discords

[sage marsh]

Update @tribal parcel , Server is @ 250% CPU usage with the 5 of us in, no more warnings, no more lag!

[tribal parcel]

WOOT!

[fiery crown]

Any good recommendations on where to rent a good dedicated server?

[thorn geyser]

@tribal parcel Even still. Need a compiled or packaged native linux binaries and libraries at some point.

[tribal parcel]

Well, that's UTOPIA. We all want that. I would be surprised if that doesn't happen sometime down the road.

[mighty burrow]

Dude… wait… would we be able to use this in the egg to report back to Pter realtime status?

[glass hare]

If you can figure how tf websockets work yes

[thorn geyser]

Honestly if hosting a dedicated atm. I would use a Windows Server VM or Bare-Metal.

[fringe vigil]

We lost progression twice alrady hours of it. It is discouraging.

[thorn geyser]

Run snapshots every 15-30 mins or what-not until it's fixed.

[glass hare]

You're welcome to start a hosting company and sell servers, enjoy that per core license cost

Hello People,
I'm hosting Enshrouded at a different Hoster and want to transfer the world to G-Portal.
Does anyone know how to transfer the world from one Hoster to another ?
I have tried over FTP to transfer the world files (3ad85ea & 3ad85aea.backup) without success.
Does anyone know which files need to be transfered ? or does it not work at all

Best regards

https://discord.com/channels/1046840540550942720/1195385300676005958

[cerulean shadow]

already read, doesnt seem to work
and in that faq is documented how to transfer from your local to a hoster
not from hoster to hoster

[thorn geyser]

Well I haven't attempted to go hoster to hoster how-ever you can use things such as altaro or server moves via os tools.

[glass hare]

Should be the same but there was mention of some _info file that appears most of us don't have

[split owl]

Never had the info file and no problem with moving save files. Just deleted everything and move that one file only. Worked every time.

[cerulean shadow]

on the hoster side i can not find the _info only on local saved games
only the wolrd & world.backup

[thorn geyser]

As for save files.. You can either a: if linux based run a crontab to backup every so and so, B: if windows, use the server backup tool that creates shadow copies and have each previous version.

[tribal parcel]

Those are the files, are you ensuring they get put into the right place? and what does failure look like?

[tribal parcel]

yeaah.

sooo.

that was a me thing.

hold over from Beta.

unfortunately.

I have cleaned up the FAQ

[uneven thorn]

hello there

[potent gust]

Does anyone else here run their own docker container? If so whose image are you using? I am using jsknnr's right now which seems to work great. However, it is a pretty basic compose and is missing a lot of the features mornedhels has.

[glass hare]

That makes sense

[uneven thorn]

i have a good server machine with free power. i want to run several enshrouded servers or worlds. is it possible?

[orchid turtle]

Hey guys, I'm trying run a dedicated server on my Windows laptop. It's pretty beefy, I have downloaded the Steam Dedicated Server app for Enshrouded, and configured it as per the FAQs. I've forward the game/query ports to the laptops IP and the server is running. It says "HostOnline (up)". I cannot see it in the browser - my filters are correct from what I can see. Any thoughts on next steps?

[tribal parcel]

Yes? If you're going to do that, I recommend using Pterodactyl or AMP

[static imp]

Any solutions for Pending packets list is full.

[thorn geyser]

gameport+1 as well udp/tcp @orchid turtle

[potent gust]

As long as they have their own ports it should work fine.

[cerulean shadow]

@thorn geyser unfortunately i dont have engough rights to use that tools, i only have FTP Access

the best is i dont get any error, i can join the server but i start at the beginning, like it will ignore completly the transfered world

[orchid turtle]

Yes I've forwarded 15636 and 15367 (game and query ports).

[potent gust]

I'd check your firewall

[thorn geyser]

NAT transversal? Did you try to nmap you from the outside to see if they are open from the outside?

[uneven thorn]

when i try to run enshrouded DServer on another user on my machine it just crashes right away. should i change something in .json file to run several worlds as it with valheim?
sorry, im a dumbo tech guy in small office :>

[cerulean shadow]

Yes i have double checked if i transfered it in the correct folders
there are only 2 folders & 1 file (server.json)
i have deleted and uploaded the new world to savegame, but no change i start at the beginning (in a new world)
i have also checked if the server overwrites no change

[potent gust]

Sorry, I would check the #server-faq for any info or wait for someone else to respond. I only have experience with running docker servers.

[uneven thorn]

sheeeesh. almost as i needed. will check in more now, thnx

[rapid steppe]

@latent jungle's issue has been sorted.

[tribal parcel]

what was it?

[thorn geyser]

Mine was I need another another beer 😛

[rapid steppe]

This sounds like an AVX issue, does your cpu have AVX support?

[tribal parcel]

That's what I was thinking too.

[rapid steppe]

He rented from a bad host and moved to a new one, he just needed help moving his save files and testing lag.

[tribal parcel]

ahhh gotcha

[thorn geyser]

• CPUs that do not support AVX should now be able to host sessions with more than 2 players. <-- I don't have that issue but not sure how far that fix went.

[rapid steppe]

No, this was only for clients not servers

here is a work around I posted earlier #1199817236140003530 message

[thorn geyser]

Then that is wierd wording as it says 'host'.

[rapid steppe]

The client can host steam invite sessions, but those are not for Dedi

[latent jungle]

Real MVP right here

[thorn geyser]

I may talk to CEO about us starting to host game servers and may start with this game. Just need to make a proposal to him and get pricing right.

[rapid steppe]

<--- needs a jerb. hire me. 😛

[orchid turtle]

I tried checking from https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ with my external IP address and the ports, and both say closed. 🤔

[wanton basin]

anyone know why i cant connect it looks to be stuck on this
Build zone changed like 4 times

[tribal parcel]

If you're on home networks, it could also be your ISP router/firewall.. not just computer.

[thorn geyser]

Windows or Linux @orchid turtle and if Linux what distro? Ubuntu? If so ufw is prob blocking.

[orchid turtle]

I'm running on Windows @thorn geyser
I don't think my ISP would block those ports, but I can call and ask. Their support is good.

[thorn geyser]

Windows Pro?

is this a fresh server? delete the save and try rebooting, if it has progress, maybe its toast.

[wanton basin]

its working now thank you guys guess i need to learn patience lol

[glad roost]

Anyone having issues with dedicated server losing info after the update? I restarted server after update > did something in the world > logged off shortly after > restarted the server. Things were back to the state before the first restart.. any thoughts?

[thorn geyser]

Windows Defender Firewall needs rules for outgoing and incoming, also if you have a router in be-tween and you are doing NAT depending on router that can cause issues as well.

[rapid steppe]

server has a save interval and you rebooted before it ticked.

[tribal parcel]

Alright, sounds like we've got smart people than me on now.. so I'm headed to bed. Thank you all for the help today. Some big hurdles were jumped over today.

Onward!

[glad roost]

I was on for a good hour though. shouldnt it have saved before then?

[rapid steppe]

yes, it should have. good point

[glad roost]

inventory items and all reverted..

[tribal parcel]

This smells like a Steam Cloud issue

Inventory ITems on the character are saved locally, not on the server.

[orchid turtle]

@thorn geyser according to my ISP I needed to opt out of CGNAT, which they have done for me. So, I will wait 10 minutes, powercycle the router and then test again. 👍

[glad roost]

sorry, inventory on character and in world chests

[thorn geyser]

I'd say log in, pick something up, go afk for 30 mins and reboot it, if it still has issues, sounds like a permission of appending/or/writing are broken, or can tail the process and see what it is doing. Multiple ways to find the issue.

[glad roost]

Any idea what could break permissions?

[thorn geyser]

Permissions of the user

[rapid steppe]

I'm confused because the dedi hasn't been updated since yesterday. Are you sure you are running a dedi> or are you running a steam sharing sesh.

[glad roost]

yea on a dedicated hosted on the same system though. joining through join world. its been running good for the last few days now

[rapid steppe]

The reason I ask is because the server files would be seperate from your local steam files, which would result in the server items persisting and your character losing items being seperate issues. but if both the server save and your personal items are missing that means you are sharing a local save.

[tribal parcel]

Oh hey.. look at this.

There's a new save file type.

.journal

[rapid steppe]

oh neat! so they added some kind of DB?

[tribal parcel]

dunno.. lol

[rapid steppe]

oh wait no thats just changes that havent been saved yet

[tribal parcel]

first time i've seen it

[thorn geyser]

Non-merged changes.

[sonic olive]

Is there a way to make a guild?

[tribal parcel]

No. not that type of game.

[sonic olive]

But we can build our own bases right?

[rapid steppe]

No, I own all the bases.

[tribal parcel]

It's a co-op game. There is no "ownership" right. Everyone has access to everything.

[latent jungle]

Just stay out of mine 😂

[glad roost]

oh weird. I just restarted the server a few times and noticed its spitting up a "failed to save out of memory"

[thorn geyser]

lol, why not host a centralized sql/postgresql db that dedicated can query for someone swapping to another server... Plus would create security within scans for abnormalities.

[rapid steppe]

I really wish more games would do this, AND give us the ability to specify our own sql db.

[delicate ravine]

Sorry if this has been addressed but my server works, my friends can play in it even if I'm not on but unless I log in to let 1 person in first they can't find or connect to it, is there something I'm missing?

[rapid steppe]

uh oh! time to check disk space! I think I saw someone else had a similar issue earlier today. But I don't remember reading the solution.

[glad roost]

450gb free :/

[rapid steppe]

Wasn't somone using raid having this issue with saves?

[thorn geyser]

If windows did you check how much memory is in use even when it crashes and check for zombie processes left behind? Also make sure windows has enough to allocate to it via reg and virt.

Either is zombies or a leak + zombies

[modest yacht]

how do u find your server?

[rapid steppe]

go to steam -> view -> game servers -> Favorites and add it to the list manually.

[glad roost]

hmm any suggestions on tracking down zombies? Im thinking of just restarting my sytem and hoping for the best

[thorn geyser]

Well doing that probably will fix it.. But won't help dev's.

[limber shadow]

Does anyone know, how long it takes, until Miasma bosses respawn on a dedicated server?

[glad roost]

hmm I accidently tried restarting through the launcher/Icon instead of the app file in the folder earlier. maybe thats what created the zombies? It was mentioned that thats still buggy right?

[thorn geyser]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

Probably created duplicates so yea.. that tool will show you whats going on.

[rapid steppe]

ooh yeah, if he accidently had duplicates running one of them would have had a file lock on the save.

[left coyote]

Weird problem: Exactly one person can connect to my Nitrado hosted game server. Everyone else fails to join. As far as we're aware, there's nothing unique happening for that person

[glass hare]

I really wish I could post pictures

[eager lotus]

Post in screenshots and link to it 🙂

[glass hare]

True actually

[eager lotus]

Bad because its not enshrouded game related but an option

[glass hare]

#screenshots-and-art message Enshrouded network go brr

[thorn geyser]

can upload like I did and then link here or can go to troubleshooting channel and it has access to upload images themselves.

[left coyote]

Even when we send steam friends list invites to avoid the server list all together, we get "joining game failed"

[zealous sandal]

how are hosters like Nitrado offering 8 slots for 8€/month right now with current CPU usage?

[thorn geyser]

Sounds like a scam to me imo.

[glass hare]

Because they'll happily sell you garbage they can't run

[vale stirrup]

Anyone know what folders/files need to be moved from the local save to my dedicated server in order to transfer my progress/building over?

[zealous sandal]

That's probably it. Can't imagine it running well.

[rapid steppe]

I was going to say it nicer but yep, that's about right for any of the main stream hosts honestly.

[vale stirrup]

What sort of resources does a 5-6 slot server need? can i reasonably host on my beefy machine?

[thorn geyser]

They are probably using VPS... Running a single server with multiple dedicated/clients and killing it.

[glass hare]

Considering someone said it took 30 mins for their nitrado server to reboot so yeah...

[zealous sandal]

for me it's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\5645746\1203620\remote

[vale stirrup]

thx

[tulip burrow]

Yesterday there was an update from the server, right? Does the game run better on servers now?

[glass hare]

Same performance

[thorn geyser]

Not trying to sell anything just gather something while I'm in channel. What do you guys think is fair for a 4/8/whatever server/month, that is not crap? My CEO is always looking for new ways to make more income but don't want to short him or anyone else or overcharge.

[rapid steppe]

I am probobly the most expensive guy here, I charge 55 a month plus 60 as a setup fee and 60/h to install mods.

[orchid turtle]

OK, so the online port scanner says my port is closed by my server showed up on the server browser instantly. OK port scanner... you lyin'!

[glass hare]

This guy does IT

[rapid steppe]

But I do it all for the customer, they never touch anything and get full root access if they want it.

[vale stirrup]

Do you mind showing an example of what the file/folder structure in the folder looks like? My buddy has the local save files so I don't actually have them on mine to look for

[zealous sandal]

it's gonna be files called 3ad85aea*

[tidal roost]

same but mine doesnt even show up in list

[thorn geyser]

We've been around since the 90's and have dark fiber in all our data centers. No third party.. But we are losing our wireless tower customers due to starlink as we serve people in remote places.

[vale stirrup]

And everything in that folder is just moved to the EnshroudedServer\savegame folder and replaces the default ones i imagine

[tidal roost]

on that note, I've got a dedicated server running on a dif pc, shows up in steam server list on that pc but cant connect from my main pc or friends, it just doesnt show up in server list

[vale stirrup]

Probably a port forwarding issue and/or windows firewall issue

[shut musk]

im in wrong chat mb

[rapid steppe]

have you manually added the address to your steam list on the other clients?

[orchid turtle]

I had to call my ISP to opt-out of CGNAT, because that was preventing me from forwarding traffic as my IP was shared.

[tidal roost]

yep, its not a port forwarding issue cus i was just playing palworld the same way and tested with a couple other games and they worked fine

[vale stirrup]

I have google fiber and i had to replace their shitty provided modem with one of my own because it didn't let me properly port forward lol. Their default network management options are atrocious

[thorn geyser]

Anyways, once I've had a few more beers, I'm going to write a bash script for installing for linux and then using my opensource license to create a dedicated only windows install. lol 😛

[glad roost]

Didnt see any weird processes that point to the enshrouded file paths and the issue persists after a restart 😦

Good morning, I have 3 servers with the same name but with a different number. Not all of them are shown in the browser, only 1.

[rapid steppe]

Do they all have different ports assigned?

[lavish bane]

So, i shut my server down today for a software update. Re loaded my Enshrouded server and its corrupted and so is the backup...

[thorn geyser]

k need a smoke break but will make a bare-metal ubuntu for now that modifies the ufw, and also warns if a NAT is detected, Windows will use powershell via the installer I have access to, that will open the ports as well; of course I will ask in each instance Y/N if this is acceptable to open these, and detect NAT on windows. Then, the same with docker but that will be last as I will have to have the docker subnet make sure it can pass.

Toss them under a non system admin process that has access via wheel/group for security.

[rapid steppe]

Redhat! foooey!

[thorn geyser]

I can use any distro I don't care. But I think most people trying to do stuff use ubuntu..

[rapid steppe]

well you said wheel, so I asumed redhat, which I hate.

chgrp etc still uses wheel in the backend, and as for redhat, I hate them. Sellouts.

Well compiling it all optimizes it for the entire system.

Not just a gen-kernel that is pushed or deps.

[rapid steppe]

yeah, that's above my pay grade, if its not in a repo I'll do a few google searches but thats about it.

[fickle oriole]

No, diferent. Its dedicated server gtxgaming

[thorn geyser]

All differen't IP's? And same ports open @fickle oriole / different subnets? If so and still issues either internal routing or Steam saw 3 new servers pop and blacklisted 2.

[rapid steppe]

you may need to add each server individually to your steam client #server-support message

[rapid steppe]

he's not self hosting, he's using one of those hosting companies.

[thorn geyser]

oh

Those guys must be making a killing... Jump on new games and just toss out VPS

[rapid steppe]

you want to know a secret, they run multiple game servers inside a single VPS.

[thorn geyser]

Oh I know.

[glad roost]

Tried uninstalling the server files and reinstalling. Now trying to run the same world says world cant load. Bruh what is happening

"game creation failed"

[thorn geyser]

Take a screen shot of loading where it fails and put on https://ibb.co/ or something and paste link

are you running the dedi inside a hypervisor? or directly on your machine

[glad roost]

directly on my machine

[thorn geyser]

Windows ru. Process manager and check ram usage. Linux run top or htop

[glad roost]

I removed the savegame folder contents from the world shared with 4 people and started a new world, tested it and its saving character and world contents now

[rapid steppe]

I was right! it smells like toast!

[glad roost]

ram usage is fine. windows machine too

[thorn geyser]

I smell a memory leak that is going into the local savefile for server. Or a process that isn't getting killed correctly

[main comet]

Had no luck getting server for game running with game tools or steamcmd server crashes on successful start, my other game servers for steamcmd having no issues

[rapid steppe]

I wrote a work around for this #1199817236140003530 message

[main comet]

thanks will check

[glad roost]

yikes. what are the odds that the savefile is cooked?

[main comet]

I made a mini pc into dedicated game server

[rapid steppe]

well, you could try to fix it with an sql tool but I dont have the patience to walk you through that atm.

[thorn geyser]

Well either save file has some loop within it causing it to reload everything over and over and causing a memory/stack overrun. Or the process. If he has the old save file and sends to me I can debug it

[main comet]

Its been running conan ex, ultima online and empyion 24/7 for months at same time no issues and very little load

[rapid steppe]

It's an issue with AVX instructions which will be patched on monday.

[thorn geyser]

Heya UO user! I'm a coder for them 🙂

[main comet]

Sweet

[hearty nimbus]

how can I reach the snow mountains in this game?

[rapid steppe]

by going to the right channel!

[glad roost]

if its not going to take that long what are the odds you wanna give it a go?

[main comet]

Cool i made orbsydia uo architect and helped on landscaper

[thorn geyser]

Drop save file in a Google file share and message me and I will take a look

Ah I worked on UOX3 and Sphere. Ryan branched to Runuo

[uneven thorn]

first time installing ubuntu on virtual box to use Pterodactyl, hope i will figure it out! thnx again

[rapid steppe]

oofta, ptero is steep for a first time ubunut guy

[thorn geyser]

Honestly until it's ported to Linux I would run native Windows

[rapid steppe]

You know how many people try linux and I've been dm'd about how stupidly horrible the game runs in wine? lol. You could literally just run it in windows 11 without activation. And save such a headache.

[glossy willow]

HI all, please help me 🙂 I tried to up a Enshrouded server on my computer. I have redirect my internet box to my computer for 2 port on UDP and TCP and I open these two port on my computer but nothing works ! I can't see my server on Server Browser ingame !

[rapid steppe]

#server-support message

[grim cape]

if ptero had a slightly better documentation it wouldnt be that hard. theres even an install script on github that makes most of the work but is also missing a little

[thorn geyser]

I should make a discord bot that does a port scan on the server ports but devs probably wouldn't like me lol

[rapid steppe]

Yeah, it's not so bad but I also don't really care for docker either.

[glossy willow]

I do it ! but nothing !

[glass hare]

https://southnode.net/steam-query-tool Tools like this exist to check if steam can see the server and what's the point of trying to port scan UDP ports

[thorn geyser]

I guess I will just make a community website for now listing servers using steam url

[rapid steppe]

Firewall issue then

[glossy willow]

I tried to down my firewall but nothing ... really strange

[thorn geyser]

Also have to check NAT

[rapid steppe]

ok, go to serverfiles for dedi, delete the .json file and run the server until it makes a new .json.

[tribal parcel]

Just a note:

Seems there's shenanigans going on at the ParkerVCP repo.

Trying to update the egg on ParkerVCP, and getting some interference from repo owners.

Anyways, it seems likely that due to whatever toxicity is going on over there, they aren't going to update the egg to use proton.

Anyways, if you are using Pterodactyl, please make sure to use gOOvER's Pronto egg which is link in the repo, that's in the pins.

[tidal hinge]

hey guys, i tried looking at the server faq but cant find an answer to my question. I host a dedicated server on my computer through the steam app, the only way i can find it is through steam server list adding 127.0.0.1:15637, and then i can connect to it. But my friends can only find it and connect to it when im online on it. Any suggestions?

[rapid steppe]

after the new .jason turn the server off, change your settings to what you want and reboot.

[glass hare]

Lol, I'm not even surprised

[plain grove]

Are they filtering out empty servers?

[thorn geyser]

I'm going to spin up a server real quick in debug mode and see what's going on

[tribal parcel]

TBH, I was taken back by it. Didn't realize I stumbled into whatever that is.

[glossy willow]

I just change the name of the server ! I try to reboot

[glass hare]

Yeah, there's some major power struggles going on over there right now

[tidal hinge]

"Show empty server" is checked

[rapid steppe]

If you are running the dedi through steam you are going offline then steam closes the dedi.

[thorn geyser]

Maybe you can packet capture the process and just delete your ip and self identifying information and let me see.

[rapid steppe]

you need to run the server without steam.

[thorn geyser]

Can Wireshark it

[tidal hinge]

What do you mean? The dedicated server is its own window seperate to the game, you mean steam closes the server when i close my game?

[rapid steppe]

browse local files, and run the exe by itself. Do not launch it through steam

[glossy willow]

After rebboting, how I connect to my server ? From "Browser Server" in game ? because when I try to use "connection" button on "Game Server" in Steam it's dont work !

[tidal hinge]

i think thats what i did actually

[alpine lintel]

Question: is there a linux server yet? Or is it just the windows server on steam?

[thorn geyser]

Ponder if steam is VAC banning wheb someone does it the wrong way.

[rapid steppe]

You dont need to use the connection button in steam server list, go into the game and your server will be shown at the top of the server list.

[rapid steppe]

It's just windows, but you dont need to use steam

[glossy willow]

nop 😢

[thorn geyser]

Prob should make a installer for just hosting. Would get rid of a lot of questions about this and that. But prob against TOS.

[rapid steppe]

It would be easier if I could just take control of their screens and fix it for them haha.

[thorn geyser]

I could make one and submit to devs and they tie to account and make it a separate install on steam

[tidal hinge]

i did this, server is running. I can find it on steam server list adding it with 127.0.0.1:15637 but not my external IP. Friends cant join the server unless im online, using the "Show friends only sessions"

[thorn geyser]

But if devs accept it is another thing

[glossy willow]

I can share all screen shot in pm if you want 😄

[pure narwhal]

Has anyone had an issue of getting stuck loading into a dedicated server (paid server) friends load in fine, but im stuck loading. Tried restarting etc. Only happens with my server, not my normal worlds.

[eager lotus]

What do you mean by installer?

[glossy willow]

Should I change the "ip" in json config file ?

[thorn geyser]

Two installers. One for game. One for hosting a dedicated

[rapid steppe]

Yes, the reason they cant find it, is because they are joining on friend which is different. They need to enter your IP etc into the steam server list for themselves.

[eager lotus]

We are on the server manager right now 😉 not many features but we get into it

[crude obsidian]

I purchased a server on 4netplayers yesterday. Played for a bit with friends, logged in today to see empty world - it did not save. Anyone had similiar experiences? It's beyond frustrating. The game is not that great, and you give it a chance just to find out that couple of hours of progress just didn't save at all.

[eager lotus]

@thorn geyser https://github.com/ISpaikI/Enshrouded-Server-Manager

[tidal hinge]

They tried that but it says server is down, wont let them connect. I dont know if its relevant anymore though because now i get the "Game creation failed" error when i try to connect my self

[rapid steppe]

You know the game is still EA alpha right? but yes, lots of people have reported this.

[crude obsidian]

I don't care it's in EA, it's basic mechanics.

[rapid steppe]

Oh really? then you go fix it if it's so basic.

[crude obsidian]

Oh god you're daft.

[rapid steppe]

Maybe, but im not the one paying for a crap host and losing my data

[thorn geyser]

I see but I'm worried about breaking steams TOS. As I can make that easily. But steam is strict despite it being a MIT doesn't relinquish TOS of steam

[eager lotus]

What could be against it?

[thorn geyser]

Contracts between dev and steam

[eager lotus]

I mean they devs dont have to give it out. We as a community can normally. Ark seever manager does the same

[thorn geyser]

Doesn't make it legal

[rapid steppe]

So does LGSM, WGSM, Open Game panel, Ptera, just to name a few. I think you are safe my dude! Work your magicka!

[eager lotus]

Can i send you a private message?

[thorn geyser]

Yes

[glass hare]

My guy what are you even talking about? A community made tool that people run on there own doesn't break any ToS anywhere

[rapid steppe]

He's heavy on the sauce atm.

[glass hare]

I've kept to myself about most of the stuff he's said but so far he's talking about making tool after tool with all these ideas and hasn't gone anywhere with anything. I honestly can't take him seriously

[uneven thorn]

well, the guy upthere called it. so lets dive in
im isntalling a gnome desktop for now
this will be a wild ride

[thorn geyser]

Just have past things. Had to get sony/verant on our side to okay things with project 1999. And with wow they went at those guys hard

[glass hare]

U wut m8, why

[glossy willow]

How to run this programme ?

[eager lotus]

Normally you get a warning and have to get your project down if something is against tos

[rapid steppe]

double click?

[uneven thorn]

why am i installing for first time ubuntu on virtual box and trying pterodactyl? shit if i knew. im just excited to know something knew thnx to this game

[glass hare]

Oh this is new, where did this come from

[glossy willow]

on this : Enshrouded Server Manager.sln ?

[eager lotus]

There is a release download, but read the readme first.

[glass hare]

@mighty burrow might be worth adding to the community repo nvm you already have it I'm slow

[eager lotus]

@mighty burrow made a pin for this channel https://github.com/PR3SIDENT/enshrouded-server

[thorn geyser]

We had to do the same with the ultima online stuff. But we worked it out

[uneven thorn]

does it run multiple servers?

[eager lotus]

Yeah but no process control right now. Only install and start and manual backups

[rapid steppe]

We don't need no process control! thats what process laso is for!

[eager lotus]

I ment pid check and stop servers

[glass hare]

Who are you even talking to lol

[rapid steppe]

oh - I was thinking core assignments

[glass hare]

I'm not a windows dev but if you're the one starting the process you should be able assign that created process's PID to a variable no?

[eager lotus]

My code isnt that great but we do what we can with learning curve

[eager lotus]

You can check but not set as i know. Give me some time to get into it. I am new at this coding thing ^^

[thorn geyser]

Myself, I just remember we had to get with the parent companies and others in the chain before we could go outside of scope of their contracts/them before we got a green light to do it.

[glass hare]

This guy is just in another world I guess

[glass hare]

You've made me curious so I'm looking into it

[eager lotus]

And yeah i know there is double code i need to clean up for version check of the manager

[glass hare]

https://github.com/ISpaikI/Enshrouded-Server-Manager/blob/master/Enshrouded Server Manager/Services/Server.cs

Just do

int pid = p.Id; // Get the PID here

[eager lotus]

I know but i have to save it for every server. If the launcher would be closed it would be gone. And have to code it for the server selected, check pid, show stop button. Than kill process. Dont have that much time to program. Thats why the project is experimental and "unsupported"

[glass hare]

Yeah you'd write the running process list to disk, You can assign each PID to a server by name however you're showing them in the list

[eager lotus]

As we have done for the buttons

[glass hare]

But not having time is fair enough

[eager lotus]

Family first than everything other. We try implementing out backup next

[thorn geyser]

ps aux | grep bleh

[glass hare]

You have fun with that

[eager lotus]

I am german so i am very looking to not go against rules a warning is a good thing. If it could be or not

[glass hare]

?

[thorn geyser]

EU is very strict

[young dawn]

I want to find my Server via IP and Port. Can you make that

[eager lotus]

Good that everlaster said something about tos. Have to look further into it

[glass hare]

I would ignore that guy completely, there's nothing not allowing you to make a server manager,

[thorn geyser]

Hell EU told Apple no more propriatary plugs and bam.. had to switch to USB-C Standard.

[eager lotus]

Steam serverlist

[eager lotus]

It downloads steamcmd directly could be against a rule too

[digital perch]

guys how to beat red miasma pls tell me ^^

[strong tree]

you need to upgrade your flame

[glass hare]

That would make every existing server manager break ToS. See how that doesn't make any sense lol

[thorn geyser]

I need a copy of EU Windows in fact... lol, they made Microsoft remove Edge.

[eager lotus]

I know i am only very careful ^^

[thorn geyser]

Not all. The Dev's have not given us their TOS from steam. So right now it's in limbo. No one knows what their agreement is.

[digital perch]

thx man 🙂 was trying it for hours ^^

[strong tree]

yea took me ages to work it out but the more you upgrade it the more of the shroud you can explore

[inner dawn]

If you want clean windows, install windows in region "world" after installing change it to your own region. No bloatware at all

[hardy gull]

my g-portal server isnt showing on the server list... anyone knows what to do?

[eager lotus]

Try adding into steam server list as favourite

[hardy gull]

isnt showing on steam server list either

[silent apex]

Mine took a while to show up when searching by server name, but it did eventually show up and I favorited then

[eager lotus]

Did you try adding as favourite?

[hardy gull]

i cant add it to favourite, if it isnt showing

ah yes, by ip, let me see

[glossy willow]

Ok it's good for me ! Lot of error :

• in config file, "ip" should be the local ip address (ex: 192.168.1.20)
• in "steam_appid.txt" should be the id of the GAME not the SERVER : 1203620

[glossy willow]

you have to add you public ip and the port (generaly 15637)

[digital perch]

somebody already get amber or know were to find it ?

[leaden crescent]

Any dedicated server runners share light on amount of RAM required for server to run smoothly for 6ish people?

Thank you for any answers!

"How much RAM does the game server process use?
In idle state the server process uses ~4.4GB of physical RAM.
Each player needs up to 100MB of additional RAM.
In total the server should not use more than 6GB of physical RAM."

is this accurate in anyway

[glass hare]

I'd say they over estimated ram usage so I'll agree with In total the server should not use more than 6GB of physical RAM. None of us have ever seen over 3GB of ram usage even with 16 players

[dim atlas]

"in "steam_appid.txt" should be the id of the GAME not the SERVER : 1203620"

This makes no sense since the Enshrouded Server is its own installation. That needs to be the appid of the dedicated server, not the game.

I just checked and both the game and server share the same id 1203620

[leaden crescent]

olright thank you!

[ivory stream]

My dedic server now in iddle uses 450 MB RAM.....

[leaden crescent]

damn thats very little 😮

[glass hare]

Known bug

[ivory stream]

about 5 - 8 percent for me, its good

[hardy gull]

tried to find the ip on the steam server list and it doesnt show either, anyone knows how to fix?

[eager lotus]

Did you try stop server and start it again?

[ionic light]

OK so if I have double checked:

• server / client version numbers
• 100% sure ports are defaults and forwarded (it worked two days ago and nothing has been changed)
• The server was started more than 10 minutes ago
• I have the server in my steam favorites list and it shows up with ping, game type and game name correctly in that list

What else is there I can do, it still isn't showing up in the server list after it has fully loaded all 198 pages of currently active servers

[glass hare]

Are you adding it to your favorites?

[hardy gull]

yes, tried to restart 20 times, can't add to favorites because i cant find the server and when i put the ip:port that it says on g-portal, it says server doesnt exist

[glass hare]

If you can see it in your steam favorites list then it should be be on the first page soon you're ingame

[ionic light]

Yep that's what the instructions are saying, yet it isn't showing up

[dim atlas]

You can do absolutely nothing, I'm in the same spot as you.

It worked the first day since there weren't that many servers in the server list, but now it's too populated so if we launch a server now, there's no chance. Until the devs fix it.

The "Favorite list" method is bullshit and does not work :) I don't know why they keep pushing that as a working solution

[glass hare]

add +15 to the port gportal shows you

[tidal roost]

same issue here, trying to join through steam server list just takes me to download dedicated server page

[ionic light]

Cheers

[eager lotus]

O.o thats funny

[hardy gull]

THAT WORKED

[eager lotus]

Gportal at its best

[glass hare]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hardy gull]

wtf thank you so much,

[silk heart]

i also cant find my server anymore since yesterday, we havent changed anything and it worked on release day

[eager lotus]

Self hosted or hosted somewhere? Updated?

[dim atlas]

I think the issue is that if we host our own dedicated servers, we can't favorite them at all by the looks of it.

Click on any dedi server in the list and the "Toggle favorite" button seems to disappear, but when you click on a hosted server, which I think are Gportal ones, you can favorite them.

So the "Favorite ur server" solution only works for paid servers

[silk heart]

4netplayers

[hardy gull]

ok now i can connect to the server but after the loading screen it takes me to the main menu xD anyone knows?

[eager lotus]

Did you made an update on the server? I think Yesterday was an update

[silk heart]

i have looked around i cant find anywhere the option to update serversided from the UI they offer me

[eager lotus]

Go in steam - serverlist - favourite tab - + button

[dim atlas]

🤦‍♂️

[eager lotus]

Than stop start

[dim atlas]

The whole point is that favoriting in steam does not show the server as favorited in the game for us.

It works for some, does not work for others.

[silk heart]

i did multiple restarts already

[eager lotus]

Did you look if into the config file?

[left holly]

For me it's a whole core of my 4700U (ubuntu + wine) when idle

[ivory stream]

I running Win11 on i3 12 Gen

[silk heart]

found nothing which was sus that it suddenly shouldnt work. its also weird cus one of us can still see the server and once he connects we all can xD. but hes not online till tonight

[eager lotus]

Hmm didnt had that problem before. The ones who have problems if they search for name will it show it than?

[left holly]

Maybe Linux and Wine are the reason. But is the game is "paused" when no one is connected the CPU usage should be exactly 0 %

[silk heart]

its as enshrodued is ruining my network connection, i also notice that for some reason my other programms run worse when i am searching for servers

[eager lotus]

Ok thats not normal ^^

[eager lotus]

You download one server info after another. That could be why

[hardy gull]

i can connect to my server from g-portal but after the loading screen it takes me to the main menu xD anyone knows?

[silk heart]

cant remember to have that in any previous games i played tbh and it is also not my first EA

[clear solar]

are there dedicated servers for enshrouded yet?

[eager lotus]

Its an own engine. Did you try to add your server as favourite in steam serverlist. Ip:queryport?

[silk heart]

i did, steam cant find my server ;/

[glass hare]

That sounds new, reboot the server and your game

[plain grove]

Yes, they’re available to run yourself on Steam or from different vendors to rent

[tidal roost]

jesus christ, i had to not listen to the instructions to get it working

anyone’s tried palworld, and this game? any thoughts?

I have bought palworld, played it a bunch but…. the fights are kinda meh.

looking to get the game for me and my friend, and maybe put up a server for us to play in

[tidal roost]

did not change the IP from 0.0.0.0 to 192.168.x.x and had to change appID to 1203620

and running it through steam is a 50/50 if it works or not, had to run the exe manually to get it to show up ingame

[hardy gull]

worked thanks 🙂

[ivory stream]

For all. Personal experience. I use this tool and I am satisfied with it. Just set the IP to the internal address (192.168.x.x) and other things like server name, password, etc. Then just run it and everything works. Of course, don't forget to open the ports if you have a public IP. https://github.com/ISpaikI/Enshrouded-Server-Manager/releases/tag/v0.1.1

[eager lotus]

Thank you for this ad 😉

[ivory stream]

I don't have it as an advertisement. I am only offering my personal experience. Everything is intuitive and easily adjustable.

Because I see a lot of input that something is not working. So it's only for people who want their own hosting, of course.

[eager lotus]

If there is something wrong or not working feel free to contact me 🙂

[ivory stream]

working perfectely

[pliant gulch]

is it possible to add a already hosted server to the dedicated server tool?

[clear solar]

anyone has a server host to reccomend? looking to rent a dedicated server.

[eager lotus]

You have to backup savegame folder.
Set your settings in a profile. Open save folder in that profile. And copy them in

[pliant gulch]

@eager lotus aldright mate (= thanks

[eager lotus]

Keep your old files as a backup if something is not working

[thorn geyser]

Your save file looks good @glad roost . There is no loop within it.

[dim atlas]

I solved it myself.

Re-create your server using SteamCMD, the dedicated server from steam seems to not create an Enshrouded server properly.

Once you created it through SteamCMD, simply add it to favorites on steam, it'll show up as an enshrouded server as it should and show up in game as well.

[ionic light]

Aight I'll give steamcmd a whirl then, what's the appid?

[thorn geyser]

So with save file issue it's not the save file itself that is the issue. It's somewhere else.

[dim atlas]

@toxic turtle Since you wrote #server-faq, please update it with this fix since no one has mentioned it until I figured it out just now.

When creating a dedicated server, use SteamCMD, not the **Enshrouded Dedicated Server ** on Steam.

The one on steam does not properly start the server, you can test this by adding the server to your favorites and clicking "Enshrouded" from the drop-down menu top right. The server will not show up as an Enshrouded server, which means it won't show up in game either.

SteamCMD properly hosts the server. Which is why paid-hosting works when being favorited, since that's the method they use to host the servers as well.

Please let people know so they don't get as annoyed as I've been for two days, thank you.

Not a save file issue at all between saves and semi.

[ionic light]

Absolute legend, cheers. This worked immediately.

[sweet stump]

is there anyway to change in game setting if you own a server like rates ect ?

[thorn geyser]

As for you @glass hare Not sure what you got against me, and really don't care. Just trying to figure out where corruption is occuring to halt servers and it's not the save file.

[signal tulip]

Are there any plans to implement a server console for simple status checking / list of connected players / kicking / banning etc... ?

in other words, simple management features

[thorn geyser]

I'm going to run some backtraces and find it. but damn.

[leaden crescent]

typing out what helped for me, just for if anyone is having same issues.

Bought apex hosting dedicated server, but was unable to join or find the server from server browser or via steam game server add favorite.

I changed apex hosting default port to 15636 via the Change port button in server main view.
Restarted server a few times
was able to join by adding to favorites
subdomain:queryport

so Subdomain listed on Apex hosting server main view + 15637

So in the following fashion
example.domain.co:15637

I'm now able to see the server in game server browser instantly as it is favorited.

[thorn geyser]

I am sure they are @signal tulip , but this is early access they are still working on things.

Early access came out 2 days ago...

Sorry if I am upfront but as a programmer I know the challenges, and early access is early access for a reason.. Hell a lot of us have problems during a launch.

[eager lotus]

I know the days of beta test as there was beta test before releasing a game. Now beta test for players are only to test the game. The mind of players changed a lot.
Early access is a phase to test and to give feedback, but instead they give bad reviews

[wary egret]

I mean, at the end of the day you´re paying for a product. If it doesn't match your expectations then ¯_(ツ)_/¯ early access is to keep funding going trough development though, and not make money or gatter reviews

[thorn geyser]

If you want a fully furnished product you at least review release. And even then unexpected happens. Even a stress test can't keep the unknowns. Plus how many people play and don't report at all.

[eager lotus]

Thats the point. A team cant look in every corner and try every thing that could be possible and not in their mind. So a bug report would help instead of: its not working, f...... Sh..

[thorn geyser]

It can take one single } aka bracket to mess things up. But unless it's reported it's hard for developers to know. 10 million things going on at once.

[eager lotus]

@pliant gulch please let me know if everything works for you 🙂

[thorn geyser]

I know they can't say these things. But like I said. As a dev on my own projects.. I know. And trust me. They are stressed and working hard to fix things... I get to a point where I code bug fixes in my sleep

Dreaming about code isn't fun

[eager lotus]

Thats hard. Was on another game in same style and i know how much they work and try to get everything done

[thorn geyser]

They were quick on lobby and world crashes. So I have faith in them.

Just don't burn them out. Give them some time

Sorry. Just ranting. I just know how it feels

[crimson sail]

hello i have a problem to find and join a serv that i buy on gportal. I think the main problem is that the gameport and queryport on gportal for my serv are 28200 and 28215 but i can't change that. Every time i replace them by the one suggest bye the FAQ they go back to 28200 and 28215.

[quartz brook]

Trying to join a private server with password gives me loadingscreen and then puts me back to main menu with char select. Is this a common issue?

[eager lotus]

Heared about it. Self hosting or rented?

[quartz brook]

rented, my friend paid for it

[elder arrow]

I cannot favorite a server I joined- now it only shows if a friend is playing in it too.

[eager lotus]

Didnt heared on a fix tried support?

Restart could help

Hi im trying to run the dedicated server program on my server but the windown just shuts down by its self, the ser doesnt have a GPU (2X XEON 12CORE 64GB RAM running on a 2 TB rainSAS drives)

I've been looking at it. Journal and save are identical. So even if merged would not matter. Trying to find fault.

Also please report bugs

Is it windows @worldly juniper

[worldly juniper]

hi yea windows 10

[thorn geyser]

Can you review event viewer?

[worldly juniper]

i can look

im sorry im not great at some of this but i have th elogs folder with files in

[thorn geyser]

Windows has an event viewer

[leaden crescent]

idk about gportal but Apex hosting has a separate button to permanently change the Port.
(same in apex if u edit the port in the files it will revert after restart, so need to use this separate button)

[worldly juniper]

ahh ok let me see, appologies

yes it does i have it open, but not really 100% what to do with it

[thorn geyser]

Do you see a kernel panic or shut down cause

Should be under system go before boot in it

Also are you running temp mons and ram

When you install Dedicated server from Steam store the id is not 1203620 in Dedicated server ! that was my issue

There is an updaet for the dedicated server - anyone know what it is? Is it safe to grab it, because I don't see any updated for the game itself.

[glass hare]

What's the error?

[uneven thorn]

Anyone know what the dedicated server update is that just dropped?

[round dune]

and why it takes forever to update 😦

[sand star]

it would be awesome if they could do posts about that -.-

[clear solar]

is 16gb ram enough to host an enshrouded server?

[glass hare]

more than enough by about 10GB

[topaz marsh]

G-Portal are at it again

[orchid turtle]

I don't really want to update since everything is working fine. I'm worried it will break it because I believe the server and game need version parity - and there is no game update.

[round dune]

I didn't get a choice, it just shutdown/crashed and now showing as updating, but nothing else

[orchid turtle]

Oof! 💀

[glass hare]

Pretty sure gportal nukes all servers when an update drops and updates their binaries

[pastel comet]

My G-portal server updated, restarted, but is now not responding at all 😦

[glass hare]

Since you're all using the same exe from them you kinda get screwed

[random atlas]

A new update now or?

[ancient vale]

[wispy wyvern]

like where is the in game warning about that the server is about to updated in X minutes

[pastel comet]

Yes, it dropped just minutes ago

[glass hare]

Ask GPortal in their discord, nothing we can do here unfortunetly

[random atlas]

any changelogs?

[orchid turtle]

I really wish some kind of patch note dropped with it. I ain't clicking anything until I know what it does - so far it seems not great lol

[pastel comet]

Did another restart and it booted

[wispy wyvern]

yeah i know, but you think it would be common sense lol

[glass hare]

First time GPortal customer?

[main aspen]

The files are exactly the same. If you start it via the .exe it also behaves exactly the same and does work just fine. It's what I did to host for some friends before using my VPS with proton now.

[wispy wyvern]

yeah.. I assume this is for all games?

[glass hare]

Yup, they love forcing updates on people. I've watched them brick entire saves and servers

[candid wraith]

are dedicated servers resetting the world only on restart of the server?

[clear solar]

how many GB does it take for 16 player?

[thorn geyser]

Terminal is life. With Linux I do headless

[glass hare]

Like 3 at the most, the devs recommend 6 though

[clear solar]

seriously? palworld runs at 16gb for 6-8 players and crashes every few hours

[thorn geyser]

I fell asleep on chair outside 😆 🤣

[gusty badger]

there is also a 2 hour timer for the chunks, as long as nobody is there, it will reset after 2 hours

[glass hare]

Yeah the memory usage is thing of beauty and the devs need to pat themselves on the back for that one

[thorn geyser]

Almost fell out of chair falling asleep but it's so nice outside

[uneven thorn]

@glass hare

[kindred summit]

Does the dedicated server provider (not Gportal) have to roll out a new update on the server or is it a "central rollout"?

[candid wraith]

Alright. So it won't reset when everyone leaves?

[uneven thorn]

cp .env.example .env
composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

cant get this running somehow
no such file

[thorn geyser]

68F perfect temp

[glass hare]

It entirely depends on how the provider is setup

[glass hare]

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

[thorn geyser]

Depends where docker compose is. If global or local

[gusty badger]

it will reset if there is no player for at least 2 hours in that area

[uneven thorn]

i think i did those. just moved back to this, thnx

[kindred summit]

Unfortunately I can't answer that question... all I know is that they are running it on Wine and that it didn't work as excpected as for yesterday;) work as

[pale pawn]

does saving work now. or does the game still rollback?

[glass hare]

I mean your best bet is to ask whomever your provider is, typically for steam games though just restarting your server will update it

[thorn geyser]

If Ubuntu I think it's apt get install docker-ce

[kindred summit]

Thanks for the answers:)

[short isle]

do i lose progress when i change servers?

[dry wedge]

hey where do i put this file?

Yeah, and a client update... can't get back onto server now : / (gportal)

[tame ore]

fixed the rolllback issues?

[autumn blade]

why my gportal server isnt visible on search in game and also i cant connect from steam server browser?

[crimson sail]

same problem

[toxic turtle]

I didn't write the whole FAQ, just the last entry. I will pass this along to the person who did write the rest of it. Thank you.

[dry wedge]

bought a server from apexhosting and its super laggy with 2 people, anyone know solution?

[cursive coral]

anyone have problem with GPORTAL? after a crash i cant able to connect

[orchid turtle]

Someone earlier said they had to restart it, as there was an update.

[cursive coral]

them or me?

[orchid turtle]

They had to do that, maybe you follow suite and try it - if you haven't already.

[cursive coral]

i try to restart a few time and dont work

[thorny belfry]

did you stop and start or just hit restart?

[rose mulch]

Does the server build ID have to be the same as the client? Hosted server is still on 13280498 (from Gportal), local client has Build ID: 13271849 (Latest).
Feels like this could be a problem, but the FAQ only specifies that the client cant be older than the server, not the other way around.

[rain marlin]

So yesterday we were playing on a g-protal server and our character progress kept reverting to some older state. Today, after an eight hour pause, our server state reverted to a state 20 hours ago. Are we just unlucky or do some people have functioning servers?

[uneven thorn]

its me again... i think i meesed up with environment configuration

php artisan p:environment:setup
php artisan p:environment:database

after those i need to php artisan migrate --seed --force and nothing happens

[idle pelican]

due the rest on gportal our whole camp got deleted.. any fix?

[rain marlin]

So everything we did after yesterday afternoon is poof.

[glass hare]

Wdym nothing happens? Something should be happening even if it's an error

[orchid turtle]

Is it possible that I can find my dedicated server and join it - but my friend can't? If it shows in the server browser for me, it should show for them right? Yet they can't see it.

[kindred karma]

make sure they are searching by name and not ip, else have them add it through friends favorit list in steam, see faq for details

[uneven thorn]

it should start creating database for ptero but it just sits on Database Port [3306]:

[idle pelican]

also scroll through the tabs of all the servers, it only finds it if its loaded. like make sure it loads till 1/200 or smth

[rapid saffron]

Hi guys. I get one gportal server but the game not found using ip addres. ¿why? :(. Thank you

[errant hornet]

Is there any docker image one can recommend for a dedicated Server?

You can add a server through friends favourite list in Steam? o_o

#server-faq message

[uneven thorn]

it wants me to put email adress and i dont know ho to revert this environment setting to database

[glass hare]

That's...odd, I'm going to guess it's trying to connect to the database but can't and will timeout eventually. I'd double check the IP, username, and password you set in the .env file inside of where you installed pterodactyl (should be /var/www/pterodactyl)

[kindred karma]

#server-faq message if you want to use ip, in game browser only search by name, not ip

[orchid turtle]

Yeah I'm reading that. I don't have a domain name though. Is it a case of either/or?

It needs some tweaking, but info and helps are on the thread, and its best i could find.

[orchid turtle]

Legend - thanks man 👍

[quiet pine]

For people using GPortal, I don't know if this is an all-encompassing fix, but I've noticed if you use the Restart button, or if GPortal auto-updates like it did earlier, it can prevent people from joining. both times that's happened to me, I stopped the server for 2 ish minutes and started it again, and it let me back in.

[glass hare]

It's a hidden file, if you're using SFTP you might have to enable hidden files for whatever application you're using, you can do ls -a to show all hidden files and folder inside your current working directory or alternatively you can do nano /var/www/pterodactly/.env

[tame ore]

server rollbacks fixed??

[dry wedge]

anyone having trouble with apexhosting? really laggy with just 2 players atm

[mighty burrow]

Morning 🙌

[rain marlin]

Our team has both server and char rollbacks constantly on a g-portal server. So game is quite very close to aboslutely broken. Guess it's time to shelve this for a week or two and come back to see if absolutely critical stuff like this is fixed.

[tame ore]

id really like a devs reaction on this.. there's not a single mention that its a known bug

[kindred karma]

pop are you on gportal?

[tame ore]

nitrado

[karmic prairie]

I had the same problem, the same solution helped. server on nitrado

[rain marlin]

What I'd like to know is what magic tricks people pull to make their games save their char and server progress :/

[kindred karma]

since you're on gportal (or nintrado) I'd try what Velreiz and Remain_indoors said helped, could be an issue with how the host has setup auto update function?

[glass hare]

I'm kinda curious if it's related to CPU usage, I've not had anyone report to me they've lost any save data. I'm totally guessing here but from what I've seen people reported that the server stopped autosaving after x amount of time. This only appears to have happend on providers or servers with known high CPU load causing lag ect. Wonder if it just throws the save thread out the window or something

[orchid turtle]

OK I guess this game is unplayable for my friend and I. Her ping when connected is about 340ms. My region is Melbourne, Australia and hers is Manila, Phillipines. Usually the ping is high but very playable. As an example - not trolling - we are playing Palworld now which is fine. I wonder if that is something that can be fixed given time or if it's terminal. I've tried self-hosting and dedicated (but also located in Australia).

[tame ore]

that's for people not being able to join.. not about missing saves

[glass hare]

This game doesn't handle high ping based on distance very well

[sick dust]

Most multiplayer games dont handle 340ms ping well 🙂 Unless its turn based or tab lock targeting where your aim has 0 input

[kindred karma]

yepp, but if a file is locked for writing, aint no saving happening, thus you may as well properly shutdown the server and wait a few minutes then start it up again and see if the same problem exhibits

[rain marlin]

Problem with "save problem" is that it's hard to know if it's active.

[orchid turtle]

Yeah totally - but why is that the ping when playing Enshrouded, but in all other games it's much lower. I guess that was my confusion. We have played to completion a bunch of games that are far more reliant on a good connection. Elden Ring, Remnant 2, Dying Light 2, Atlas Fallen. Like, more or less any decent release that has coop we played it fine. This is the first game that hasn't actually worked.

[rain marlin]

My char saved just fine a few minutes ago, yet yesterday I lost all progress. Our server seemed fine all evening, today after restart server had reverted to yesterday afternoon.

[sturdy wadi]

Your char saves locally, not on the server

If you dont see it put out the Save message in the server window, its stopped sending characters back to main enshrouded

[rain marlin]

I am aware, yet my char does not save, and neither does server. So it's all pretty much borked and it matters little where the things aren't working.

[sick dust]

i havent had it happen yet, but friends did, the server stops doing Save Character Savegame 'name' lines

no way to re-initiate it other than a server down and up, its like it loses connection or something.

just data, my dedicated was up all night and kept saving, now since noone was on overnight, i wouldnt know if it lost ability to save characters, but the world save kept going

can you see your server output on gportal?

[rain marlin]

Yea I haven't looked at the logs much, having been in the business myself I'm not quite up to debugging other people's games too....

[sick dust]

Not a matter of debugging, and i dont know if it would show in log

this is my Command screen, gets all the output from the running application, if you can see that, or if it goes to log, you can at least tell if it stops saving character

im leaning towards it being a GPortal/rented server issue more, but thats annecdotal cause thats the only place ive actually seen it occur so far

[vast panther]

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help...

I hosted a server via GPortal and all of my friends can find it via the Server Browser and I can join them when they're online as I can use the Join on Friend option. However, if they're not online, I can't find the server via the Browser.

[sick dust]

Did you see the recommended specs for servers? https://enshrouded.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/16055628734109-Recommended-Server-Specifications Ive had no issues using the "...stronger CPU is recommended" specs - Enshrouded is much harder on CPU than memory

[vast panther]

Oh, but now when I try to join I get "Game Creation Failed" error

[mighty burrow]

Restart the server till it works

[vast panther]

Will give that a shot, thanks!

[sick dust]

i7-7770k 4.2Ghz server uses about 38% CPU with 5 players on (didnt test more players, thats my group). Only used about 800M memory during that time. Now the save file can get big the more they terraform of course.

[flint hemlock]

yeah 16g server the bisect hosting

[mossy shale]

Hey friend, what have you changed for this?
I'm hosting using https://hub.docker.com/r/mornedhels/enshrouded-server on a VPS and 3 people just ruin the cpu usage

[sick dust]

Not saying they do it kripptic, but most rental places run multiple instances on same machine, can result in lag, especially with a game thats CPU intensive like Enshrouded.

[orchid turtle]

Does anyone have a suggestion for a dedicated server host - bot the partnered one since they are totally sold out. I might try host a server at a midpoint between us.

[sick dust]

Unless you pay for a dedicated machine (expensive) then you end up sharing

[fallow sierra]

I can't install on steamcmd.

[sick dust]

Do you NEED a dedicated server, how many people will be playing? If not a lot, let the person with the strongest computer host the game.

[orchid turtle]

It's about ping not load.

[vestal crag]

Any recommendations for a home dedicated game server for games like this and Vrising ?

[sick dust]

Do any of your friends have an extra computer? Setting up a dedicated is super easy with Enshrouded.

[kindred karma]

WindowsGSM

[vestal crag]

Any hardware suggestions?

[sick dust]

16 GB RAM
SDD storage with at least 30 GB free space for the installation
Up to 100mb for each additional saved world
Internet Connection: Per player an upload capacity of 2mbit/sec is recommended.```

[orchid turtle]

I've tried that. I've hosted on my machine which is very well spec'ed and I hosted a dedicated on my gaming laptop - as I said, it's about ping. The ping for some reason is insanely high and she simply can't play on it.

So, I'm looking for a dedicated server host at some midpoint between my location and her location.

[sick dust]

Thats the recommended for able to handle 16 players, 4-6 can get away with less https://enshrouded.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/16055628734109-Recommended-Server-Specifications

https://github.com/ohmcodes/WindowsGSM.Enshrouded

[sick dust]

Ahh, yeah, good luck, i know lots of places are renting now that GPortal is sold out. But i keep hearing issues with rental servers, so i recommend dedicated where people can.

[arctic vault]

Hey, maybe better asking here
Does it seem like it would be possible to implement a pseudo 'Shared World' feature like Grounded has?
So one person hosts the game and friends can join and play, then when they are done they upload the required files to an S3 or online storage, their friend can download them and host the same world for others to join and when they are done they upload them ? Creating an 'always' online world without dedicated servers ?

[zealous sandal]

is CPU usage lower running the server natively on Windows? I mean more than your typical Wine overhead?

[real tusk]

@kindred karma did the server update fix the latency thing in Linux you were having?

[kindred karma]

haven't had the chance of test it yet, my host also changed to using proton, probably they noticed better performance in their testing
