server-support

[shrewd agate]

ok all didnt work:set a new pw, reset a new password, change name... and so on.. doe all steps multible time... 1. stop server, 2. change name/pw 3. start server after some minutes and give him some minutes... Doesnt works... any other tips? "Joining game failed" (nitrado)

[crisp parcel]

man i dont know.. the last option would be to backup your server game and reinstall the game. but im going to be honest, i dont think that will fix it

[quick whale]

Am able to add my server to favorites (hosting it myself on PC), but my friends are not able to. I can join and they join off me, but if I'm not on, they can't join.. Server is online, yet they can't add to favorites..
Any idea?

[near roost]

if one person on a server completes or advances a quest, does everyone on the server get credit or just folks in the area? can a friend just get online and park in the base so as not to miss quest xp or do we all need to be together

[shrewd agate]

reinstall the server? i have one it 4 hours ago^^

[crisp parcel]

no the game, using the reinstall button. Im not adivising you to do that unless you know what you are doing but if something got corrupt on your server (nitrado will likely claim that)

[crisp parcel]

you bought it 4 hours ago?

[crisp parcel]

make sure your status is not set to invisible

[shrewd agate]

no i reinstall the server 4 hours ago... the server is over 1 day old

[crisp parcel]

it also makes the server invisible (last i knew)

[quick whale]

I am online and visible

[pastel tangle]

Are you giving them the external Ip and port?
Have you opened the correct ports for them?

[quick whale]

15636 and 15637?

I've given them my local IPv4 and the IP google sees, none work for them to add to favorites

and yes they include the :PORT#

[crisp parcel]

sounds like a DNS i ssue

[quick whale]

If I join the server, they can join off me

[crisp parcel]

or some kind of firewall issue

[quick whale]

hmm

[pastel tangle]

It sounds like they can’t query (see the server) correctly which would suggest either wrong op or port config.

[crisp parcel]

Its very weird how the hosting is happening because my dedicated, i connected via steam, my friend connected via ME (my name), and then her friend connected via HER name, not me or my server name

[quick whale]

that's how we're having to do it now, it's a mess apparently

[crisp parcel]

so I dont think anyone has actual answers onhow anything works lol

[quick whale]

are they able to add to fav after joining off me/steam friends list

[crisp parcel]

I wish i had an answer to this. I noticed that when two of my friends completed a side quest, i still had to complete it on my own and i was in game with them. I also noticed that when I completed a crafting mission for the alchemist, my friend also had to complete the same quest. BUT the third person that joined our server said he was notified of completing quests upon joining

[pastel tangle]

I think the extra step of needing to add to Steam Favourite Servers first, rather than having a direct ip connection option ain’t helping.
Might need to Upvote that suggestion!

[near roost]

yeah i'm just not sure the extent to which multiplayer in this game needs to be "everyone grouped together at all times" versus people splitting up and doing different things.

[crisp parcel]

Agree and i wish it was more clearer

[near roost]

especially since it seems completing a quest can lock someone else out of completing it. so we don't want to be leaving someone in the dust with a log full of quests they can't complete

[wintry perch]

5 thousand restarts and changes did it

[dark fulcrum]

My still wont show up, even after resetting the port

My server

[pastel tangle]

I don’t think that’s how it’s setup. You’ll get notifications of players completing things, unlocking new places or recipes but most are locked behind player progress rather than server progress.
Can’t remember where I saw the post about it now 🤪

[near roost]

but some quests require you to like loot an item from a corpse, so if i loot it i need to give it to a friend for them to get credit. which is frustrating. and for the crafting bench stuff, you need to be online to get the quest exp right?

[tall stag]

people that can't their server externally ont he internet, are you forwarding just the 2 ports or a range that includes the 2 ports, I would try a range fromt he port above and below the ones you're using

[tidal jetty]

Anyone having server overload messages? My GPortal dedicated server (4 people) is showing a message today:

Server overloaded
You are likely experiencing some issues

Lots of rubber banding, but latency is normal

[spice horizon]

Anyone with a dedicated server still having the app id invalid error? I have my Ip static, ports (15636,15637) open, and server is showing to be running fine. But when i try to connect i am getting the app id invalid error.

[gilded turret]

Sounds like you don't have the ports forwarded properly. Is this a local hosted dedicated machine?

[ancient sparrow]

Yes, I have this issue with my Gportal server as well

[rancid mist]

is there any way to change rates or mod dedicated server?

or only vanilla available?

[crisp parcel]

i wish i could change exp gain but doesnt appear so

[spice horizon]

Yes it is local and the ports are open on the static ip for the server.

[rancid mist]

is there anything else that can be changed?

[crisp parcel]

not an expert here but i dont think so

[reef zodiac]

server

[gilded turret]

So it's on your LAN? And you are not able to connect to it from your local machine to that local machine or are you both the host and client?

[spice horizon]

I cannot connect to it from my gaming machine. They are two seperate machines. When i use the steam - view - "game server" option to add the server i get the error. "app id specified by the server is invalid"

[gilded turret]

If it's on your LAN and not working then the ports aren't opened. I have mine working but I had to add additional windows firewall rules on the host itself. Both TCP and UDP for both the ports.

[desert schooner]

yeah i was just about to say did you make sure to open windows firewall ports

[near fog]

Is anyone else having freezing issues when they boot up the game tonight?

[desert schooner]

I did 3 rules. a rule for TCP-In & UDP-In for both the 15636/15637 ports, and then another for the server executable itself to allow outbound

[gilded turret]

This is the way ^

[spice horizon]

Firewall is open and ports are open. I stopped a valheim server on this machine to start an Enshrouded server.

[spice horizon]

I dont understand the "another for the server executable itself to allow outbound" portion.

[desert schooner]

lemme get a screenshot one sec

[gilded turret]

The ports for Enshrouded are hard coded. Also in your Steam Favorites you have to add the port at the end of it or it won't work. example 192.168.1.15:15636

[desert schooner]

bah i can't do image uploads in here. sec to get an imgur link

[spice horizon]

Dm me with screenshot

[spice horizon]

I did this as well using bothinternal and external IP with the :port as well

[gilded turret]

Yeah I was going to do a screenshot as well but not allowed to. Thanks @desert schooner

[gilded turret]

Make sure you are connecting to the internal one. Otherwise you will NAT hairpin trying to connect to the external from the internal... it does bad things to networking. For you to connect you only need the internal one. Friends will need the external but that's a different set of firewall rules that will need to be opened/forwarded on your router.

[spice horizon]

There is no firewall on this machine. 👉 👈 But even with the internal IP:PORT steam cannot find a sever at that address. Thank you for your help

[gilded turret]

It's a windows box right? You have the firewall disabled on a Windows box without a firewall/router in front of it?

[desert schooner]

He said it was not windows

[spice horizon]

When i use an external Steam Server Query Tool, it shows up with the correct IP and ports.

Its linux

[daring scroll]

man y'all made the server worse with the last update. I used to be able to limit it to 2 cores and it would keep the CPU usage down, now it needs 3 or it stutters all over the place.

[silent wadi]

does a windows server auto allocate itself ram for this game or do i have to increase it?

[desert schooner]

what do you mean 'auto allocate'

the application should just use what is available?

[silent wadi]

do i need to tell it a maximum ammount of ram it can use or should it just continue to use as it needs it. i have 6 people on my server and its only using like 900mb of ram. all of the players are no where near each other

[desert schooner]

ahhh. you shouldn't need to do anything like that. it'll just figure it out.

[gilded turret]

Well that changes things. Linux is a different ball game and depending on the flavor.... IPTABLES DFW etc etc... while you say there isn't a firewall... there seem to be something blocking the ports. Container?

[hazy hollow]

It'll use what it needs for RAM and CPU.

[desert schooner]

AFAIK it doesn't have any memory configuration options like java memory settings you could do for a minecraft server

[spice horizon]

.... I may not have done that.... 🤡

[desert schooner]

my server is sitting at similar ram usage, just a hair over a 1GB of RAM usage and I have about 5-6 people on. seems to hit CPU moreso than RAM that I am seeing. so far since hte update we're not seeing any stuttering yet

[delicate kelp]

server really laggy after update is that a known issue

[hazy hollow]

It's been mentioned a few hundred times.

[gilded turret]

There are some active threads spun off this main chat for things like docker containers etc. I would find that correct thread for what you are doing and ask in there. This is a general server chat. There are some very smart folks in those threads that have built things like pterodactyl eggs and stuff like that.

[spice horizon]

You reminded me that im a dummy and didn't open the port with "sudo ufw allow <PORT>"..... Thank you!

[gilded turret]

Glad I could help! Albeit indirectly without trying 😄

[desert schooner]

i was just about to suggest that, but been there done that with linux and firewalls :3

[gilded turret]

And don't forget to make that change persistent. Otherwise you will forget and reboot the server and then you are fighting that port thing again.

[spice horizon]

Yes! 😅 I definitely will, I see now that I forget stuff very easily and quickly.

[chilly solar]

heyo anyone seeing high upload for enshrouded servers?

1fdbff4ac7f9 enshrouded-enshrouded-1 330.64% 2.24GiB / 10GiB 22.40% 3.03GB
since I've started like 4 minutes ago its pushed 3.03 gb of data

[light bridge]

Why is the server not able to let a 4th player join, our ping just goes up to 50000 and server basically freezes, CPU has 30% headroom

[lyric meteor]

anyone have any idea why i can see my server in steam favorites but it doesnt show up in game?

[gilded turret]

That usually happens when the server isn't "checking in" to steam as online. At least for me that's been the case.

[lyric meteor]

in server.exe it shows connected to steam successfully and gets a steamId... did you encounter this before?

[gilded turret]

Only when I don't have my server running. But no I've not had to troubleshoot it before.

[halcyon crane]

Hello, does Enshrouded use UDP port only or both?

[rancid shale]

.

[gilded turret]

Both TCP and UDP. Open both ports for both protocols

[boreal stratus]

Done now

[rancid harness]

GPortal is still "Sold Out" of US servers. Any recommendations for a dedicated server? We were using Survival Servers, but it's been laggy and unusable for days now.

[halcyon crane]

I was running it earlier with only udp and 4 of my friends were connecting no problems, i see mixed info online, is there an official info on it?

[gilded turret]

No there isn't. I think it uses one port for both but most of us err on the side of having things work vs trying to figure it out.

[halcyon crane]

Fair, thanks

[light bridge]

The server infrastructure is just really unoptimized right now, every dedicated server is kinda laggyish or faces some problems with multiple ppl on it

[gilded turret]

If you don't need a dedicated server and always play together, the person with the better machine should host and all connect to that host. It's how I started my game until I could get my local dedicated up and running. Especially since all quests are server side.

[rancid harness]

We're all over the country and play at different times (family, kids, etc.), but still want to play together when we can. Dedicated server is the only option.

[trim heron]

Can I hop into someones server and get a rake? or should i make a new character

[gilded turret]

I'd offer to let you but my rake is already bugged on my server... shovel too 😦

[gilded turret]

Sorry to hear that and understand that pain. Wish I could help but alas I cannot.

[strong garden]

Just log back to see if the server run good and the game load the game 1 week before ....we lost everything

[halcyon crane]

I guess servers do not support RCON right?

[jade trellis]

anyone know how to get a dedicated server up? I've looked online and tried a few things ways but I cant seem to find my server in the search

[hollow topaz]

I just followed the tutorial in the server-faq for transferring my single player world to a new g-portal server. It seems my quest progress, flame altars and bases are all gone. Anyone know what the deal is or how to fix it?

[jade trellis]

does it take a while to load results?

[hollow topaz]

yea @jade trellis i just dealt with this a few minutes ago

go to your gportal account --> status

[wooden phoenix]

hello I am contacting you following a somewhat specific request I am a small streamer with my brother we would like to discover your games live would it be possible to have two steam activation keys will you be able to send them to us or not thank you cordially

[gentle jasper]

yes. add your sever in steam>view>game servers favorites tab, to try and promote it to front page for you and your friends. add via IP:queryport

[wooden phoenix]

@brave raven

[hollow topaz]

under "access" you should see access data with IP, query port, and RCON port. Then go back to steam --> view --> game servers --> favorites. add your server with the info from the gportal access page. xx.xxx.xxx.xx:xxxxx

[jade trellis]

I'm self-hosting not sure if that makes a difference

[wise trellis]

not how you go about it. maybe look up keymailer and build your streamer profile up.

[hollow topaz]

hmm i'm not sure kenny. Maybe start with trying to add the server via steam first and see if that works

[oblique nebula]

Using Nitrado and this is what I did to get back into my Enshrouded server.
First, had to make sure it was in favorites in steam game servers. This is what allowed me to even see my server on the game list in enshrouded again, but then was getting game creation failed when trying to join.
then shutdown server.
Then changed password. Made it few letters longer than before.
Then started server back up.
Was able to see and log into server again (for now).
Hopefully this helps some people get back into their servers for Enshrouded!

[wise trellis]

@jade trellis did you go through the #server-faq ? it covers a lot of what's needed and problems there.

[jade trellis]

checking it out now actually. i should have checked there first. mb

[wise trellis]

no worries. hope you get it sorted.

[hollow topaz]

@wise trellis I just set up a g-portal server, went through the FAQ and transferred my single player save to the server. My flame altar progress/bases and quest progress are all gone. Any idea what that's about?

[hazy hollow]

Was the save named properly? Sounds like it made a new world.

[wind harness]

What is the process of updating your dedicated server on Nitrado?

Is it automatic?

[hollow topaz]

good point. I definitely renamed it back to how it was named on gportal at the beginning, but that makes me wonder if I may have picked the wrong save file. I'll have to play around with it for a bit

[dire junco]

Even this isn't working this time 😂

[oblique nebula]

bummer, was hoping would help a few people

[dire junco]

It has worked in the past

[hollow topaz]

just double checked and I'm pretty confident I transferred the right save file...

[wise trellis]

#server-faq message

[hollow topaz]

definitely the right one. "date modified" lines up with the last played date/time in game

and it's coming from the place suggested in the faq ^

[dire junco]

maybe add to attempt multiple times if it doesn't work the first time, got in after the third time of shutting down client, stopping server, changing some info, saving, starting server then client and joining

[wise trellis]

i don't use gportal but where do they have their save files

[hollow topaz]

they have a file manager in the browser if that's what you mean

[oblique nebula]

Yea possibly, I've been trying few things over past several hours

[wise trellis]

did you find a file with the same name originally 3ad85aea

so savegame is the default location but that can be changed. make sure you are putting it in the right location.

[gilded turret]

I think you need 2 files copied over. There should be 3 in that folder but you only need the 2 with the same name. 3ad85aea

[hollow topaz]

yup i transferred 3ad85aea and 3ad85aea_info

[gentle jasper]

just the main file. the _info is for single player only, from what I have gathered

[south musk]

I am having a hard time finding the ability to craft a rake. Can anyone help me? i understand that there is a bug.

[gilded turret]

I had to copy both mine over to my dedicated server from my hosted session.

[verbal anchor]

anyone have a rake?

[wise trellis]

check #common-issues

[grizzled summit]

My dedicated server has kicked me off the server for the 4th time in 4 days now.
And each time the server has rolled back to about 6/7 hours earlier
All progression during that time was lost.

7 hours of building in this game is a lot to loose. I am really sad about this.

[hollow topaz]

did your quest progress, altars and builds transfer with no issues?

[gentle jasper]

huh... mine didn't have the info info file in the server, and worked by just moving the file... dedicated vs hosted vs otherwise fun all 'round

[wise trellis]

if you search discord for it i think you can find some details people have done that may work.

[south musk]

the information there was not helpful

[gilded turret]

Yes is had all the quest progression and bases. When I copied both files over.

[hollow topaz]

ok. Good to know it's possible at least

[gilded turret]

Were you the host of the session you are trying to move to GPortal?

[hollow topaz]

yup it's my single player world

[gilded turret]

Oh. Mine wasn't a single player. I was hosting a coop session. I assume it's the same thing for a single player session but not sure on that.

[wise trellis]

search "rake" in discord and you'll see someone giving a something that worked for them. #1200887930676314132 message

[south musk]

I am, I have not found anything helpful as of yet

[wise trellis]

if that doesn't work search "rake" and i'm sure there's others offering tips on things that worked for them

[gentle jasper]

yeah hate to say it, but you picked the wrong thread for item help.. we are trying to help people set up servers in here 🙂

[south musk]

sorry I did not realize

[robust sage]

Someone said it had to do with the carpenter or blacksmith tables , can't remember which , you pick them up so you can't craft Scrappy Rake , then regular rake becomes available to craft. Craft it put tables back down , craft Scrappy Rake.

[wise trellis]

i also linked you to a post with a solution that worked for someone. in my last message.

[gilded turret]

Well thanks for that link... it helped me.... I'm gonna give that a try when I get back to playing! 😄

[gentle jasper]

no worries, just didn't want your hopes up, as most of us aren't paying attention to standard questions, unless we know the answer. 🙂

[rare bronze]

Even after today’s patch?

[grizzled summit]

It just happend to me again a few minutes before my post. 😦

Gonna try one more day, if it happens again Im dropping the game for a few months. I try to stream it every day and this happening just isnt working for me

[gentle jasper]

who are you using? just for self notes...

[rare bronze]

Has your server been updated to the latest patch?

[grizzled summit]

you mean the hosting company?

[gilded turret]

I have to agree with you here. I have not had the issue since I patched my server.

[grizzled summit]

I'm using Nitrado

[gentle jasper]

common

[grizzled summit]

I think so, I can't see the version it is running

[gentle jasper]

have seen it quite often. over the last few days... it's unfortunate that they are dealing with that so much

[grizzled summit]

any hosting company doing better?

[gilded turret]

I get kicked/crash but never a roll back after patching but I host my own server so there is that. I have no one to blame but myself for issues with it.

[rare bronze]

Stop your server. Wait about 30 seconds, then start your server. I’m using Nitrado also. When my server restarted it showed it was updating.

[grizzled summit]

Okay gonna give it a shot

[gentle jasper]

none that I can say, but we typically only hear the bad round here... and nitrado and g-portal are top on the list.. though it really depends on where your gportal server is... from what I have been reading

[vocal socket]

had to change the server password to a 19 character password and then was finally able to log in past game creation failed error.

[gilded turret]

Hosted where?

[vocal socket]

nitrado

[gentle jasper]

there are now 100 official ways to fix that damn file... one of these days I hope we nail it down.

[rare bronze]

I think this is what was described would happen if the server failed to save the game. It would kick then restart after too many attempts.

[grizzled summit]

I've stopped the server, waited a full minute, then started it, and it just sais starting... not updating or anything.

[gilded turret]

That must be a requirement on their side. My server doesn't have that many characters. But it could be a issue of certain characters in the password being transcribed by the client as something else. Like & turning into _%

[grizzled summit]

in the webinterface it says version: v0.0.15.0

[rare bronze]

Yeah mine has said that since I first installed it on release day.

[grizzled summit]

same

[tall stag]

they're what?

[gentle jasper]

there should be a line that reports the game version in startup. for example. mine says Game Version (SVN): 487046

[hollow topaz]

just wiped everything, redid the process and still no luck. Flame altar and quest progress just really don't want to show up. Anyone have ideas for what to try?

[rare bronze]

In the logs?

[gentle jasper]

saw it direct in console. about 20 lines in to startup

[gilded turret]

I've not been able to change those ports and get them working. Only using the default ports listed worked for me so I assumed they are hard coded for now.

[neat verge]

Can confirm they're not, or no host would be bothering w this game lol too much headache to set orders to only pull 2 ports

Server runs fine on 19005 for me, 19006 for query

[gentle jasper]

it's odd. some servers are doing that. can I ask how you are running the server. through a paid service? self hosting through steam? using steamcmd to download and running directly?

[tall stag]

I'm using 57550 and 57560 for one server, and something similar for another

[neat verge]

Yeah its likely some weird configuration issue, not sure

[hollow topaz]

@gilded turret are you running a gportal server?

[gilded turret]

Oh nice. I didn't bother to play with that after my initial failure and reverting back fixed it.

[gilded turret]

No self hosted at home.

[neat verge]

Yeah its likely just something setup side, so long as the config file has the ports right it runs just fine

[rare bronze]

Yeah your on gportal, I don’t see on nitrado where to watch. I have a 7 days to die server on gportal that I can watch the loading. But I don’t see anything similar on nitrado.

[gentle jasper]

I'm self hosted.. so in the dos console. probably something you guys can't see. 🙂

[gilded turret]

Probably Windblows firewall to be honest.

[rare bronze]

Guess I could just type the ip:port into web browser and check.

[neat verge]

if you have a file manager it shows in the logs xD right after gamebuild happens no idea what nitrado and stuff give you access to

[neat verge]

probably, linux ftw xD

[weak jay]

Same on mine, and wants to install an update on every single restart, yet never updates. Hot garbage this all is

[gentle jasper]

long as you use proton... wine dives on this server.

[neat verge]

well yeah obvi, even proton isnt great tho (granted its better)

[rare bronze]

Honestly Nitrado’s web dashboard sucks compared to gportal. I’m going@to switch as soon as they have more@servers available.

[neat verge]

I just mean for general management, in terms of compatability yeah its not ther e

[weak jay]

Anyone having luck with GTX?

[gilded turret]

Yeah I'm waiting to do that. I had a windows VM already with the right CPU/RAM combo.

[gentle jasper]

no idea what you are even talking about. lmao. old man that has always self hosted 🙂

[lyric meteor]

anyone know why i can see my self hosted dedicated server in my steam favorites but not in game?

[verbal anchor]

anyone have a rake server please!!!!! i ned a rake¨'

[gentle jasper]

usually some kind of connection issue... port forwarding rules or some sort... once it's in your favs browser in steam... it tries to promote it to front page in game, to make it easier to get on... if it doesn't... something is being odd.

[gilded turret]

Wrong chat for this but I'll help you out and point you to the best thread for the answer. #1200887930676314132 message

[rare bronze]

I have my own rack server, I’m just too lazy to dig it out. Been paying for TCAdmin for a couple of years now. Might be time to do it though.

[glass hare]

You know who's dashboard also sucks

[gilded turret]

You could just get a NUC like I did and use that. 😄

[glass hare]

Not mine huehuehue

It is kinda mid though lol

[rare bronze]

NUC?

[gentle jasper]

I hear ya. I have had a plex server online , with the host having like 30 free cores after I did that (ebay special), so I just do whatever now. lol

[gilded turret]

Intel NUC

[gentle jasper]

I thought the NUC was discontinued? but AUS bought the right and is making something new now

[rare bronze]

Never heard of it. Gonna look it up though.

[glass hare]

It is, Asus is carrying on the torch I guess

[gilded turret]

I think it's a general term still used. I think they did discontinue but you knew what I meant 😄

[wise trellis]

i just spun up a server and copied just my world file over to the savegame folder. logged in and worked fine.

[glass hare]

China sells some really great "NUC" clones though

[hollow topaz]

interesting. good to know, ty for the intel. a gportal server too, correct?

[gentle jasper]

NUCs are awesome. I don't know why intel dind't continue to push it.. other than costs possibly

[glass hare]

Speaking of plex I gotta buy more hard drives 😦

[glass hare]

Idk why they discontinued persistent memory either. That tech was flipping awesome!

[wise trellis]

no i have a server i use for hosting.

[hollow topaz]

I'm wondering then if maybe it's a gportal thing

[wise trellis]

what folder are you putting the file into on gportal and are there other files there?

[rare bronze]

You can find them on Amazon. Things are tiny!

[gilded turret]

Yeah I have 3 of them... different gens all intermixed running something I need to replace because... Broadcom sucks... but there are other things besides ASUS. I have friends with BeeBox.

[hollow topaz]

"savegame". No other files. I've cleared out the folder before adding my save files each time i've tried it

[glass blaze]

gportal server wont stop anyone know how to fix this issue ?

[gentle jasper]

nice. always looking for the next HTPC upstairs... and those things are 1st choice most of the time.

[gilded turret]

They are. I have 3 stacked on top of each other. I was able to get some older gen ones that supported 32G RAM per slot for 64G each. Enough to run a few VMs on them.

[hollow topaz]

when I factory reset the server the savegame folder starts empty, seemingly until I load into the world although I haven't waited more than a few minutes to test that. I've tried adding my save files before loading into the world when the savegame folder is empty as well as loading in, then deleting the savegame files and replacing them with my single player files. No luck in either case

[wise trellis]

ok when i boot the server up first time the savegame folder isn't empty. there's the savegame and a backup. all i did was remove the savegame and copied my local one in.

[gentle jasper]

that may have to do with hosting providers. I can pull the file from my server, and load to my personal solo game at any time, and visa versa. It's hard to tell people what to do, when what we do, isn't the same thing

[rare bronze]

This what I have. Go look this up and see how big it is compared to yours. lol. Dell PowerEdge R710 Server | 2X X5680 12 Cores | 192GB | PERC6i | 4X 1TB SAS

Oh I know how big that is. I have PowerEdge servers where I work. And they sound like jet engines when the power up....

[lyric meteor]

@_@

[rare bronze]

My wife hates it. I keep it in the bedroom.

[glass hare]

Hopefully none, appears the flash drive decided to head out. But now the entire server is offline so idk. If data does RIP it's like only 100TB

[gentle jasper]

only.. psh.

[gilded turret]

Man I'd love it. White noise and keeps the air flow moving....

[glass hare]

You should see the datahoarder guys in the subreddit. Unless you're at like 1PB you're a noob

[hollow topaz]

yeah that makes sense. Anyone out there have success with transferring save files into a gportal server? So far I think everyone I've talked that's had it work is hosting elsewhere

[gentle jasper]

if it was white noise, yes... mine have this high pitched kinda hum to them... the kind that slowly drives you mad.

[rare bronze]

I have a script that rearms the trial when it runs out. Man I love FREE.

[gilded turret]

Not if you have 18 of them running at the same time

[wise trellis]

send me a DM. see if i can help you figure it out.

[gilded turret]

Sorry folks that's the end of the night for me. Good luck everyone! I hope you can beat the shroud!

[gentle jasper]

heading upstairs for fam time myself for a bit. best luck to all.

[proven token]

So, I have a server with Bisect hosting, have the game set to 16 players and currently there are only 2 players in the game and it's telling us in red at the bottom left we are experiencing a server overload not what is going on with that.

[wise trellis]

best to message bisect support.

[gentle jasper]

server overload typically means hardware is not up to snuff in some way or another. usually due to not enough CPU. get in touch with them. this server is much higher in CPU usage than was expected. killing a lot of overbooked hosted providers.

[proven token]

working on a support ticket now, it's showing hosting load so thanks both of you

[round lance]

does anyone know what +X.0 seconds rested bonus is on armor?

[open aurora]

can't change port after i set new port it's still use 15637 i neet to open dedicated more than 1 server

[tall stag]

like you edited the .json ? and it doesnt use the port you set?

[torpid abyss]

Is there a way to have a server message or something? I have a public server open but want to give whoever plays on it more info

[open aurora]

yes

CreateBoundSocket: ::bind couldn't find an open port between 15637 and 15637

i change to 8250 8251

i need to start 2nd server

[hot lake]

How you guys reset your Enshrouded Windows server. Do you simply kill the task ?
Killing the task directly put me in a 30-45 second delay for the server to shut down.

I'd prefer to perform a proper shutdown since it does a save, but I'm not familiar to this kind of commands.

[dark fulcrum]

I'm Having a problem with our my server, yesterday. We were able to find our server without any problem but now, I have to add it to my favorites just to see it, but my friend is having problem finding my server.

[cosmic trellis]

My dedicated server crashes before writing any files or outputting anything I see to the console.
Event viewer shows that it hit error code 0xc000001d.
This is on somewhat older hardware, but still runs 64 bit win10 pro, etc…not crazy ancient.
Any ideas?

[fickle scarab]

Did they type in the server name at the join menu?

[tall stag]

hmm not sure

[dark fulcrum]

yes, also I asked them to add my server on favorites

[cerulean vortex]

Ctrl-c does proper windows dedi save and shutdown

[hot lake]

I know that, but I want to schedule it in my bat.

js pid kill, taskkill, sig's(signals), etc.. doesnt trigger it. So i'm searching for a work around.

[fickle scarab]

Oh thats weird. Have you tried shutting the server down and restarting it?

[dark fulcrum]

yes i did

[fickle scarab]

Weird.

Did you update your server in steamcmd?

[dark fulcrum]

not sure how? havent tried

[fickle scarab]

Can you close your server and then launch the steamcmd.exe file.

Then type in
login anonymous
Then after that type in
app_update 2278520

Then relaunch the server.

[dark fulcrum]

where can i find the steamcmd.exe, do i have to download it?..I never use it when we play last time or before

[fickle scarab]

Probably in the c:\ section.

You find it?

[dark fulcrum]

no, I checked, but I think I saw avideo about it , where they download it from the site

[fickle scarab]

Did you setup a dedicated server?

[dark fulcrum]

yes i did, we played yesterday, there was no problem

[fickle scarab]

So look in your C directory for Steamcmd folder.

Your server needs to be updated.

To match the client version.

[dark fulcrum]

maybe ill try to download it , cause i cant find it anywhere

[trail compass]

Is there a Linux build of the dedi server, yet....?

[fickle scarab]

Where did you download the dedicated server yesterday?

[dark fulcrum]

Im using the one from the steam

the "Enshrouded Dedicated Serer"

[fickle scarab]

Click your file explorer and search for steamcmd.exe

[dark fulcrum]

nothing

[void yarrow]

Anyone else getting a weird effect rendering bug where no spell effects or torch effects work?

[dark fulcrum]

but where does it usually placed? outisde the steam folder or inside?

[fickle scarab]

Different folder.

Click your C drive and it should be under Program Files(x86)

[dark fulcrum]

yes I check it already, it wasnt there

[fickle scarab]

You dow loaded Steamcmd to setup the dedicated server yesterday?

[dark fulcrum]

no

I just downloaded it follow the instruction from the official website, and setup port forward, and thats it, it work, we played yesterday , and there;s no problem

[fickle scarab]

Where did you download it from?

[dark fulcrum]

the steamcmd?

I search steamcmd form goodle, and the first site that show up there

I cant paste site here so

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

oh nvm

[fickle scarab]

You should have a Steamcmd folder somewhere...

What?

[tall stag]

sounds like he got it from the main steam client library.

[fickle scarab]

Didn't know they had one there. My bad.

[fierce rivet]

.< so much crashing after todays update

[fickle scarab]

Get it all figured out?

[dark fulcrum]

so I just open the steamcmd and I did what you told me, I think its already been updated , it says "Success! App "2278520"" already up to date"

Im still gonna check if its working or not

[fickle scarab]

Yes.

Any luck?

[dark fulcrum]

but I cant test it right now my friend is not online anymore haha, maybe ill check again tomorrow

[fickle scarab]

All good. 👍

[dark fulcrum]

I mean I can see my server, but Im not sure about my friend.

before all this...He was to able find my server, whenever Im inside the game, but when I'm not, he cant'

anyway Thanks for your help, I check this out tomorrow,wish me luck 😄

[fickle scarab]

Best of luck tomorrow haha 😄

[fierce rivet]

Have the devs mentioned any ETA on a fix for the crash issue they caused with todays update?

[sharp lake]

I started a server and I can find the server, but some people cannot. I don't know the reason but some people find it and some are not finding. Is there anyone with similar issue??

[sharp lake]

I am also having a similar issue. Some people can find my server, but some are not finding it. I can see my server because it is favorite, but some people cannot find it at all.

@exotic bone @mighty burrow @torn sail @warm geyser some of you can help us on that?

[exotic bone]

what do you want us to test?

[warm geyser]

I am abysmal at any server stuff. You could have them try joining via the steam server browser. You can go to View -> Game Servers -> Favorites Tab -> Press the + to add a favorite by IP:Port

[dim echo]

is anyones Nitrado server even working? I've done everything I've seen online to try to connect to it the past 3 days with 0 luck.

[viral basin]

Make sure you allow the searching to fully complete. It’s about 180ish pages of server results. Then they should be able to search for it. That’s what my problem was

[cosmic talon]

Anyone notice drop rates on server is less than in local game. For instance goat bodies just disappear without dropping anything. And a lot of the time I’ll see items fall like when chopping down trees and they disappear.

[shut island]

Can anyone who has successfully spun up a dedicated server help me out? Just curious if there is something I need to do that I may be missing. I have the correct ports forwarded and open in firewall but when I go to check if the ports are open, they aren't. Even if I have the server running/listening on my PC, the ports are still reporting closed. Any thoughts?

[torn sail]

Also, a good thing is if you guys have steam friends chat turned on (and are friends). If i'm logged out of the steam friends, my husband can't generally find the server.

[oak cape]

Thanks for letting me know! Ill keep messaging them today, hopefully theyll do the same for me.

[sharp lake]

Interesting

[viral basin]

Did it work?

[sharp lake]

I will try tomorrow, I done for today

[sharp lake]

Are doing the port forwarding in your internet router?

[shut island]

yep

[sharp lake]

Talk to this guy, he might have a better solution for you @elder nexus

[sharp lake]

Does it have a Apply or Save button, and you make sure you’re hitting it

[shut island]

yep

[sharp lake]

Windows Firewall, maybe?

[grizzled summit]

Server received a update just a few minutes ago and now I get the Game Creation Failed error...

[shut island]

There are rules for both the game and the dedi server.

I found that the server is listening on a different port than what is specified in the server file though. Kinda weird.

[sharp lake]

That’s strange

[shut island]

Okay, i have it listening on the right port now, but when I do a port checker, it still says port is closed and my server isn't showing in the server list. Is the IP in the server condfig supposed to be a private address or public?

[viral basin]

Clear the password, save settings, set a new longer password (ie Password1 instead of Password), save new password, restart server. Should be fixed

[sharp lake]

Mine is set to 0.0.0.0

[grizzled summit]

Thank you, but I'm done for now, the last 4 days I've had rollbacks each day with 6 to 7 hours of progression lost I'm done troubleshooting, will try the game in a few months.

[reef berry]

Anyone out there running a dedicated server on Ubuntu?

[lofty briar]

Updated server, now its not showing up in server browser again. Still have it added to Steam Game Servers as a favorite and it shows up there, just not in game. Annoying that you cant just join from Steam

[balmy tide]

Not really sure how to fix this but had a lot of friends run into the same issue everyone has been able to get it to work with multiple searches restarting the game and just patiently waiting for the game to search for it that’s my best advice. Maybe some server restarts too if the above is not working after more than an hour. Server will show up for some and won’t for others…

[shut island]

Will my server show at the top or no?

[proven token]

So Bisect hosting got back with me, with in minutes of contacting them, they ended up moving me to a new node and it fixed everything like it was NOTHING

[glass hare]

Because it was nothing, overloaded server = problems. Non overloaded = no problems

[lost beacon]

What's your gameport and queryport?

[void urchin]

anyone else had issues with the "clear the elixir well"quest in multiplayer??

[little anchor]

Anyone in here uses Survival Servers for dedicated server? If yes, I have a question

[grand burrow]

Just throw your question out there 🤷‍♂️ Maybe it's relevant to more than just one hosting provider's setup. 😅

[ornate ginkgo]

I see ppl telling server slot count has something to do with performance issues. Is it really a slot count but actually number of active players? Is there some reservation done by the server for each slot that could cause game to stagger?

[little anchor]

so I just started my survival servers
first time
how long till I can start it? I jsut downloaded my local save files to it using FTP details
it says stopped still and it's been 40 mins

[grand burrow]

I assume once all the files have been moved over and nothing failed to transfer, you can start 'er up.

If that fails, you still have your local save, nuke it and repeat 😂

[little anchor]

true

[shut island]

Okay, so I just checked hosting a dedicated server for 7DTD and was able to find my server and connect to it no problems. There is something wrong with this games dedicated server...

[wooden blade]

Guys

the game have world share like grounded ?

[tall stag]

probably not, the server doesnt know it's yours

[grand burrow]

I've been poking around since I've joined this Discord because of this issue where the ports specified in the enshrouded_server.json are not being recognized and still forcing itself to the default ports of 15636/15637. No firewall issues and UDP & TCP should be accessible on Pterodactyl 🤷‍♂️ Our game manager has been chipping at this issue the last day or two 😂

[tall stag]

if you make it a favorite or a friend is on it, it will though

[wooden blade]

If there was, it would be very excellent

[tall stag]

Maybe delete the json and let the game rewrite it? not sure why people are saying the ports arent working

[shut island]

I have it listening on the proper query port, but the ports still remain closed blocking external access. You can check to see what ports are being listened on through resource monitor under the networking tab/Listening Ports. Scroll down until you find Enshrouded dedicated server and look at the port it is listening on.

[azure pecan]

my server uses the ports specified in the .json, which are not the defaults. I would try starting with a fresh .json, there could be some barely noticeable typo causing it to not be read correctly

[grand burrow]

🤔 Alright, yeeting the json then

👀

Haven't tested this breakthrough, but I'm wondering if the way pterodactyl overwrites the config, those specific values should not have the quotation marks.

[glass hare]

Are you using one of the eggs by the community or something else?

[grand burrow]

Should be the one posted to parkervcp eggs

[glass hare]

Ah, I haven't tested that as I use goovers egg which works fine

[rich knot]

looking for Elder trousers. have other paladin/ elder parts to trade

[tiny tangle]

any feedback about server performance on Windows Server OS?

[grand burrow]

😲 I will now totally gatekeep the solution to my issue. 🤣

[light bridge]

Anyone else having huge performance issues with a Linux wine64 dedicated server

[grand burrow]

Actually, I might need a real pterodactyl instance, we use WISP, so the configuration files system processing might be slightly different? 🤷‍♂️.

The issue is that when WISP does an overwrite of the configuration file, the following lines have the quotation marks included.

enshrouded_server.json - Not working due to " on values that are probably interpreted as integers only.

{
  ...
  "ip": "0.0.0.0",
  "gamePort": "14013",
  "queryPort": "14014",
  "slotCount": "16"
}

enshrouded_server.json - Working

{
  ...
  "ip": "0.0.0.0",
  "gamePort": 14013,
  "queryPort": 14014,
  "slotCount": 14
}

Disclaimer: Only tested with the Steam Game Server List, I don't have the capacity to install a 60GB game 😹

[whole roost]

Any method to ban players that trolling or bombing everything ?

Just build a public server 10 hours ago ...

Then someone destroying everything with bombs now = =

[light bridge]

Could you explain what these eggs are

I've read smth about them while installing pr3sidents docker/service to get a server going

[grand burrow]

Eggs are specific to Pterodactyl eco system I believe? They're pretty much configuration files that you can import that includes install scripts, docker images used, config overrides, & variables.

[light bridge]

Thank you :)

[glass hare]

Ah yeah you can't quote integers

[grand burrow]

I wish a peaceful environment like this exists in Palworld.

But thanks everyone for the advise of backing it out and verifying what the json should look like. I'm just checking over someone else's work, so I wasn't here start to finish.

[shut island]

No way to ban people. This is the HUGE problem with this game and I have been telling people only allow those they know/trust into their world for this very reason.

[grand burrow]

Just nullroute them /s

[limpid quiver]

hi y'all - i cant login to our server - it always say there was an error at creating the game

What does your enshrouded_server.json look like? The good news is that it seems there might be other people who have experienced this same issue based on Discord Search.

[livid oracle]

You mean the content of the file?

[grand burrow]

Yeah.

[livid oracle]

[light bridge]

I now know your password 😼

[livid oracle]

ya welcome to join once I get it working lmao

[light bridge]

File looks fine to me

[grand burrow]

Hm. Have you tried with ip - 0.0.0.0?

[livid oracle]

If I do that I get

[online] Server is not VAC Secure!

but I can't find the server ... also not VAC secure? Something I should worry about?

[gentle jasper]

in most configs, 0.0.0.0, or 127.0.0.1 are fine for the ip in the config.

[grand burrow]

IP leak btw 😅

[light bridge]

There's no vac in this game and your server is now working

[livid oracle]

oops.. like I said XD I am new... Thnx!

okay but why can i not find the server now ? Show dedicated is on in search

[light bridge]

You gotta go to steam, view->game servers -> favorites -> add and there you add your server's IP:Port

[gentle jasper]

there are thousands.. it takes forever to bring up in game - favorite in steam 🙂

[light bridge]

And then you should find your server in game easily, it takes some time for the game to register new servers

[livid oracle]

Thank you! I shall do my best xD

[whole roost]

Yep , I understand. I build this new public server , just try to figure out what the problem will cause server loading high

[gentle jasper]

steam>view>game servers, favs tab. hit the +. add by IP:queryport @livid oracle

[digital warren]

can i join pub servers?

[whole roost]

Still have a private server , But when 6~7 active players on . That server will keep showing the Server loading high messages

[pallid imp]

i have a server

[grand burrow]

Just for my personal knowledge, if someone does have multiple ips loaded and does want to bind it to a specific ip, how would that work. 🤔 We're all acustomed to the magic of 0.0.0.0 & 127.0.0.1 and some routing/containerization that limits it to only showing 1 ip. 😂

[digital warren]

can i join to your servers?

[pallid imp]

so laggy

[whole roost]

I guess those Production equipments making server lag.

[mossy shale]

Change ports if you're hosting 2 servers on the same machine (I think that's what you were asking about)

[limpid quiver]

where do i find de enshrouded_server.json file?

[whole roost]

because the new public server even with 16 players still not getting the server loading high messages

[pallid imp]

my server is a rubber banding nightmare, constant ping spikes

[grand burrow]

But what if I want 1.1.1.1:<default query port> 1.1.1.2:<default query port> which are two different servers. 😅

[livid oracle]

steam-steamapps-common-enshroudedserver

[gentle jasper]

it's just a simple reference to what interface to use. 0.0.0.0 means any, 127.0.0.1 means localhost. so any attached interface to the host. if you have another IP address on the system, and only want it to listen on the 1, then you specify. This will all be reflected in a netstat -ap UDP command, and show the ip you have set:queryport in that list

[limpid quiver]

not there

[livid oracle]

you have to start the server.exe first and then it makes the json file

[light bridge]

Same, when a fourth player joins the whole server crashes 6 core amd epyc 7742 16gb ram

[pallid imp]

I get it with one player

[light bridge]

Specs?

[glass hare]

Litterally just the CPU can't handle the load

Which sounds wrong but it's not

Enshrouded is the new crysis

[light bridge]

But then the server environment is just really unoptimized

[glass hare]

It's hilariously unoptimized

[light bridge]

I can run multiple game servers on that machine for other games at the same time

But one game server on enshrouded kills the machine

[grand burrow]

I'm familiar with most of this, and maybe I haven't that the opportunity to experience multiple ips without special networking. 😂 Because even in Minecraft for plugins, we tell customers to bind to 0.0.0.0, but that's likely due to how the docker containers are setup 🤷‍♂️.

[gentle jasper]

I have heard multiple people having issues on EPYC today, since this last patch... so it may have something to do with that too.

[glass hare]

The game IS the problem, until they fix it though the reality is you can either switch to Windows 10/11 or deal with lag

[limpid quiver]

it is not my server - how can i start the server.exe? The server ist hosted by a friend of me

[pallid imp]

ive only got 8 ram

[livid oracle]

so I add 0.0.0.0:15637 in steam?

[grand burrow]

That is correct, query port to login, as with most steam games.

[light bridge]

You host local on your PC or on a different machine?

[glass hare]

I'm just gonna let Maz deal with this

[livid oracle]

Local pc but my IPv4 shows as invalid

[light bridge]

You'll have to type the real IP in there that's used by the server

[gentle jasper]

Yeah, exactly... 99% of the time, you aren't going to worry about it... but say you have a surveilance network or something, as a secondary connection, that for some reason, uses the same port as the server. then you can specify the ip to listen on, to not flood the program with a bunch of crap from the other, it doesn't need to listen to.

[light bridge]

You gotta forward the ports as well then, not sure if localhost works for connecting

[grand burrow]

brain fog, didn't notice the 0.0.0.0 in the IP part 😂 it's 12:24AM for me in PT

[livid oracle]

I did forward the ports on my router if that is what you mean?

[light bridge]

Yes

[grand burrow]

<insert something about loopback?>

[clever wagon]

is there a channel for ideas/fixes for the game?

[light bridge]

If you run the server on your system as a dedicated server I could just suggest to use the in-game server option instead, dedicated servers are hella unoptimized right now and will most likely eat your cpu

P2P is the better option right now if possible

[livid oracle]

by in-game server option you mean to just 'host'?

[light bridge]

Yep

This is the far better option if you're just gaming with friends, hosting a dedicated on your local machine and playing at the same time is like running the game 2 times on your PC

[livid oracle]

I see. Thnx for all the info guys! I think I understand a bit better now! Too bad I can't get it to work cus I wanted my friends to be able to log in also when im playing a diff game

[limpid quiver]

is there a solution if there's no enshrouded_server.json in my folder?

[livid oracle]

Did u click the server.exe one first and then close it ?

[limpid quiver]

there is no server.exe also

[light bridge]

Start the server once

[livid oracle]

you do have to install the server tool o.o

[limpid quiver]

i mean - the server is not mine

[livid oracle]

I am sorry I do not understand then xD

[light bridge]

That's plenty game only uses 1 GB of ram on the server but 75% cpu on 6 cores 🗿

[limpid quiver]

i just get the creating failure even the server is hosted by a friend

[light bridge]

Can he join?

[mild cairn]

#server-faq message

[limpid quiver]

bro...

[mild cairn]

Your friend needs to resave the json

[pallid imp]

my server says only 25% load, but it still runs really badly. I'm thinking ill just abandon the idea

[light bridge]

Ye well guess we gotta wait for some dedicated server fixes/optimization

[pallid imp]

shame i paid for the thing

[light bridge]

Everyone has problems with performance, even if you buy hosted servers on like survival or Nitrado I think

[glass hare]

As in you're renting the server? Put a ticket in with them and say performance sucks. Some of them will move you to a new less overloaded server

^ Doesn't oversell servers btw 😛

[pallid imp]

yeah i did that, haven't heard yet. But i only just put the ticket in

[outer plume]

Hi all, i try to configure a dedicated server with the tool "Enshrouded dedicated server", but i can't rejoin my server.
I configure the json file with a server name, a password, i keep the ip with 0.0.0.0 and the game port with 15636 and query with 15637, and the slot count is at 6.
i configure my router to open ports 15636 & 15637 on TCP/UDP, i fixed an ipv4 adress.
I can find my server only in "favorites list" on steam game server, but when i try to rejoin my server after entered the password, nothing happened.

A friend try to rejoin the server too, same thing happen, he can see the server in steam server list with my public ip + port query, but can't rejoin the server.

[mild cairn]

Did it work?

[upper tinsel]

Don't launch via steam, launch via cli.

[limpid quiver]

ne

[outer plume]

same thing, didn't worked

[upper tinsel]

When you join, are you trying to join through the stream server browser or are you just adding it and trying to join in game?

[outer plume]

i try to join via steam server browser, because even if my server is in favorites, i can't see it in ingame server list.

[upper tinsel]

I don't think the game supports actually joining through the server browser, but it should show up in the in game server list with a star next to it.

At this point I'd look for any telling entries in the console and verify the ports.

[sage bronze]

why is there no ip direct connect in this game so stupid man

[little citrus]

Has anyone managed to succesfully run a server on Windows Server Core 2022 ?

[whole roost]

Pending packets list is full. Deleted oldest packet . What are these messages means ? Network issue ?

[tiny tangle]

running it on Windows Server 2016, because i got one rented which i forgot about. Still wasn't in-game. It's only 4 vCores of EPYC 2,8 and like 2 gb. of free ram as rest is used by other game. Ping looks stable, no jumps, eating 15% of that CPU and 500 mb. of RAM but as said above it's on a loose run without players

[little citrus]

With or without docker? and is it Server Core? (Without GUI)

[tiny tangle]

It's OS with Remote Control, server installed via SteamCMD.

[mild cairn]

Guessing network and/or CPU high utilisation.

[tiny tangle]

It's VPS with Windows Server, remote machine.

[random atlas]

Yes but after an hour the server start to rubberband

[little citrus]

I see. How did you get it up? DirectX refuses to be installed using the 95mb full installer and the webdownload

[random atlas]

i did it via streamcmd

[grave wadi]

hope someone can help, so my friend got a dedicated server for some of us, can the existing host server that the game provides be transferred over or would it be a fresh start?

[mild cairn]

#server-faq message

Have a look if this helps

[cunning badger]

questions on restoring hosted save file to local:

• Is it possible to do it when you have multiple local save files?
• Do you have to delete the local _info file (there isn't one on G-Portal)

[tiny tangle]

you can transfer your save data of world anywhere you want, just use an ftp and download your save from hosting provider. World is about 1-5 mb., i believe that's only quest and voxel data so in result that is everything you need to move.

my world's file is named 3bd85c7d and it's located on hosting FTP, same file name i have for my 1st. private world which is in steam/userdata/1111/1111/remote/ (1111 is just example, this can be random number).

[grave wadi]

one more question so my friend has set up the server through nitrado and it says server is running but i cant seem to find the server any way to find it or query it with nitrado?

[glass hare]

#server-faq message

Should be a query port on their panel somewhere, typically it's +1 of the game port

[tiny tangle]

it's about Nitrado itself. Gportal, Nitrado, GTXGaming and 4Netplayers are basically dead with negative opinions at avg. 1,5 last time, so... servers are just not working, not delivered, not playable or not there basically. Try to add it via Steam Server View and check if it's really alive.

[late gull]

anyone tried to hose a private dedicated server on your pc

we set up everything server is running, opened the port on the router but we canft find the server in the game list even tho we could add the server to the favorites

and if wie try to connect over the steam server list the game tells us to install the dedicated server app

[glass hare]

Yeah can't connect through steam unfortunetly it has to be ingame. Typically if it's in your favorites list it should show up in-game as well.

You could try making sure they're both the same version #server-faq message

[fallow citrus]

I terraform land outside flame area. Server saves and then i restart the server and the land i terraformed is back to normal. Is this behaviour normal?

[dire hollow]

I cant find the server in the serverlist when i search enshrouded only but by searching any game.

[glass hare]

Yes

[dire hollow]

I checked the version. It is the same.

[glass hare]

That's...entirely odd. We have seen that the game doesn't properly get reported as "Enshrouded". You could try editing the json config and restarting the server. Typically that fixes it

[dire hollow]

I have tried that multiple times. I changed the name and the pw, tried it again but same problem. Now i changed everything back and still the same issues.

Also changed the user cap.

Everything is shown properly in Steam Serverlist but I still cant join.

[cunning badger]

anyone know why I lose my saved world and characters (level 1 shows) when I download the dedicated save file and replace my local one?

I stop the hosted server and copy the file locally, replace the file in my remote folder and still no luck.

[peak trench]

Hello ... what are the requirements for the windows server .. what hardware is obligated?

[cunning badger]

I have tried both creating a brand new save file locally called the same name and not and both results are the same

[late gull]

also which ip adress should be used to add to the favorites
there is the public ipv4 adress with which we could find the server

and the local ip adress which is used for the port forwarding
with which we could not find the game in the favorites
@glass hare

[acoustic schooner]

I don't understand how they can host it (Nitrado etc..), I own a hosting company and we had to suspend the sale of Enshrouded servers because to provide a quality service it is not possible to put more than 3 Enshrouded servers on one physical machine (Ryzen 7950X 192GB RAM) because each one of these servers takes 20% of the CPU and nobody will pay for it.

Most hosting companies I know have done the same thing and if they don't, they don't care that it's then unplayable on that server, they're only in it for the money.

Until this is fixed, Enshrouded servers are simply no longer possible to host

[tiny tangle]

Wow, wow, wow, who said that they're hosting it? They're selling it, that's all. Chill. :D

[cunning badger]

How big are the Enshrouded servers? I have both a 4 player and 8 player running fine on G-Portal

[acoustic schooner]

that's what I'm saying, they don't care about the quality of the service, just the money. The fact that the CPU on a given machine is running at 100% and it's unplayable doesn't bother them at all

this makes me wonder if some kind of fix is planned, because it is not normal to have such a CPU Leak, while the server uses around 1GB of RAM

[mighty stone]

Is there really no way to directly enter a server IP or domain name? You can only use the server browser?

[tiny tangle]

CPU usage increases when the server is idle or is it only in cases where players have been playing for some time?

[acoustic schooner]

When there are 0 players on the server, CPU usage ranges from 3-8%, which doesn't make sense

If even one player joins, we get 15-22% CPU

For example here, some examples from our hosting, all hosted on machines Ryzen 5900X/5950X/7950X/7950X3D

Players / CPU / Memory
0 / 6.94% / 893MB
0 / 7.6% / 857MB
4 / 17.4% / 1.34GB
0 / 6.06% / 1.78GB
5 / 19.11% / 1.29GB

etc
.
.

[tiny tangle]

yeah, this sucks alot. I hope this is a priority and an update will come soon.

[light bridge]

Ye sadly servers are unoptimized AF my machine can barely handle 3 players even though I can host multiple game instances for different games at the same time but can't handle a single enshrouded instance :/

[rotund lotus]

hello guy. does the new patch make you more fps ? or just no drop anymore ? patchnote say only fix fps drop but i feel bit more fps

[acoustic schooner]

Yep, we host about 30 Enshrouded servers, but now we had to suspend sales and always have one Enshrouded server per physical machine.

[gentle jasper]

I only host 1... and it makes my poor 2014 xeon cry. lol

[acoustic schooner]

xD

[light bridge]

Makes my epyc 7742 cry as well

[late gull]

ok we found the problem

if you launch the dedicated server over steam you cant find it in the server list
but if you go to the install folder of the dedicated server and run the .exe file you will find the server instantly

[gentle jasper]

yep. common thing

[light bridge]

I just hope dedicateds are being fixed soon, really wanna host a smooth experience for my friend group, we love the game

[main yoke]

The workaround with the Game Creation Failure is not working for me as i dont have access to the json file as the server is a hosted. i can only access the savefile

[gentle jasper]

Yeah thats crazy... have you looked at task manager to see whats going on while thats happening? is it not boosting or something? super weird that my dual 2697 v2 xeon can run it, and your decade younger cpu can't.... it def has the power

[paper mountain]

Is it all servers for the most part or sporadic issues for the instability and stuttering?

[supple gorge]

Huh? Services waiting for connections, backup processes and just OS level stuff takes PROC

if you do NOTHING on your PC your PROC will sit idle at 2-10%

[lament steppe]

Anyone got a Clou about a Hotfix for the Server Saves? Rollback on Nitrado for about 24 Hours....

[gentle jasper]

think he's just saying it's high is all... sure you get some use... but there's not much reason for it to be as high as it is. needs some optimization. Windows idles at like 1-2% on this 12 core VM... server idling on it, moves that to 13-16, 1st player, jumps to 25-30, then finally steps slowly with more players.

[supple gorge]

its not high, thats pretty decent for a VM vying for contended resources...

your home PC wouldnt have 1000 VMs all vying for CPU PROC WAIT TIME

[gentle jasper]

thats my home machine, a dual core E52697 V2, 10 feet away

[supple gorge]

yes i am saying 1-2% on a home machine with a VM wont have the same issue as a server 1000 VMs on each physical server

[gentle jasper]

oh yeah, sorry wasn't following you... it's 330... lol

[last charm]

Hey i guess there is no workaround when you rent a Server and the Game dont shown in the List?

[short isle]

can anyone ping me pikemeads reach on the map ?

[gentle jasper]

add the server in steam itself, in the game server favorites list. this will try and promote it in game for you. add by ip:queryport

[last charm]

Thank you very much

i tryed that with the Port but no Server response, but with the queryport, it works

[gentle jasper]

yup. query port gives server and handshake info. game is for after, when you are making the actual connection

[light bridge]

Idk maybe it doesn't like amd

[last charm]

Hm ok i guess iam on the point where you guys talk here, (more or less) im on the server now and its laggy 😦

[gentle jasper]

seems that way. very odd. they were having some issues with older cpus and non avx stuff... I have a feeling something they changed to work on that, may be hitting EPYCs now

[light bridge]

I'm praying cuz I love this game

[gentle jasper]

if it's a paid serrvice, you are going to need to talk to your host. a lot of them are undercutting what is needed for resouces, or the server you are on, is overpopulated, and is struggling.

[light bridge]

Also I'm running it via Linux wine64, maybe that's also an issue since there's no real Linux support yet for dedicated servers

[gentle jasper]

OH... now we are talking. Wine has major issues. Recomend proton

[prisma flax]

Heyho i did update the game on the current state and since i updated it it crases every 5 min have anyone a plan how to fix it ? i reinstalled it i repaired it restart pc doesnt work too

[light bridge]

That's weird cuz all past games run just fine with wine, sons of the forest for example

Might have to look into how to get proton running

[gentle jasper]

yep... hasn't been on here as much over the last few days, but day 1 and 2... everyone was talking about how bad wine has been. most are using proton, and a lot pteradactyl eggs on top

[light bridge]

Ye I read about the eggs, gonna try to get proton running on my Ubuntu terminal

[gentle jasper]

betcha that'll get you back up and running. fingers crossed

[supple gorge]

no worries, CPU WAIT TIME is when 1000 VMs all content for CPU PROCESS TIME, CPU WAIT TIME is the latency for VMs (like the queue) what you see on VMs is higher Proc usage

[gentle jasper]

oh I know. I run a multi node Esxi at work 🙂

[supple gorge]

ahh sorry 😛

[light bridge]

Thanks brother, appreciate it

[glass hare]

Wish I could post pictures here of the game casually doing 800% with 1 player on a 7950X. The game does not like to be run in linux lol

[ebon snow]

Is there a way for my friends to fix on finding my server they cant add it to favorites as well

[worn zealot]

#server-faq

[shut island]

It isn't the queryport it is the gameport. I just added mine the same way and it only found my game on IP:15636 Just FYI

[glass hare]

It's the queryport, you must have them both assigned to the same thing which works for some reason

[shut island]

How does this help others who wanna join my server? Everyone isn't going to want to do this and shouldn't have to either. Also, even after doing this I am unable to "quickly" find my server, if at all.

[light bridge]

Pretty easy to do for you and since you favorited the server it should be on top if you enter the server tab in-game, after that you can just invite them through steam/ they join you through steam

[light bridge]

You using wine or proton

[glass hare]

Proton, which runs better than wine amazingly

Still spooky CPU usage, other people report significantly lower with proton. Might just be an AMD thing. I haven't really bothered to investigate. The devs will fix it someday...hopefully

[light bridge]

My AMD epyc 7742 ran with 75% on 6/6 cores

While in-game we constantly had the server overloaded, expect issues even though there's 25% headroom

[glass hare]

Never had the server overloaded issue

[bronze steppe]

wine-vanilla or wine-proton, just cumbersome bandaids tho. Proper linux elf-binary and stdio support will be better

[glass hare]

Someday

[bronze steppe]

Someday

[light bridge]

Any eta on when there's proper linux support?

[bronze steppe]

Too early

[glass hare]

It's planned with no ETA

I wouldn't expect it within the next year

[amber perch]

помогите

пишет не найден драйвер но я все обновил до последней версии

[light bridge]

That's unfortunate, Linux should be a priority these days it's far better than windows servers imo

[bronze steppe]

Keep chat in swedish, tack snälla! ^^

[light bridge]

Guess proton and wine will have to go for now

[tiny tangle]

we should learn your hieroglyphs or what?

[light bridge]

Still, is the high cpu usage a wine problem or is that just how the server binary is really unoptimized

[bronze steppe]

Hard to say imo

[glass hare]

Bit of both

[bronze steppe]

Run in windows, windows are ill fitted for servers,
Run in wine, wine translation are ill fitted for servers ^^

(Proton is wine at core, so i include that)

[glass hare]

Some windows server applications experience the CPU usage as well, some seem to not. So far the best hosting experience for performance seems to be windows 10 pro

[light bridge]

To my understanding also AMD cpus are kinda being eaten by the dedicated servers, Intel ones run way better

[bronze steppe]

Im on Arch/Win11 (normal channel) for options

Win11 is for playing and toying around, arch is for doing serious grownup tasks ^^

[light bridge]

Maybe I'll switch to windows on my root just for enshrouded

[shut island]

So after adding to the steam server fav, when I search under the internet tab for game servers of Enshrouded, my server doesn't show up. How does that work? lol My server was found when I added it to favorites, but it can't be found when I search for it? This is wacky man. I'm not new to setting up dedicated servers and this has been THE WORST experience.

[bronze steppe]

On your root? / ?!

[light bridge]

Root server from netcup

[bronze steppe]

Root is at / in linux, what else is root?

They call it root servers?

[light bridge]

Yep

[bronze steppe]

Do they have /home/ servers?

[light bridge]

A mix between virtual and dedicated servers

[bronze steppe]

This cant be a normal naming standard

[tiny tangle]

VDS

[glass hare]

Typically those are called VDS

[light bridge]

Oh, probably a German thing then, they call it root servers

[bronze steppe]

Its either a virtual server or, a server imo

Oh yeah mebbe its a german naming thing

[light bridge]

Strato (also German) also says root server

Ye seems to be german

[bronze steppe]

If i run apache i usually put things in /srv/http, ssh is ssh and logins to whatever user

[grim cape]

its because you get root on the machine. most other providers back in the day only gave you a user that could run php/mysql and stuff but not change "meaningful" stuff

and yeah its a german thing 😄

[light bridge]

Oh, okey, interesting

Us germans gotta make it complicated 🗿

[bronze steppe]

Ive never rented servers so im out of that loop, want errything diy

[light bridge]

So you have a machine in your house

Or where do you host

[grim cape]

yeah but you cant beat hetzner prices for most hobby stuff. im not going to build myself a 19" server at home and put it into colo if i can just spend 50€ and be done with it 😉

[bronze steppe]

Id never wanna login as root from anywhere else tho,
But those are prolly virtual enviros and not their machines actual root ^^

[grim cape]

nah dedicated machine, full root, you can even real powercycle

[bronze steppe]

My previous pc always become my server machine anyways

[light bridge]

Have you tried hetzner cloud? Is it good?

Cloud sounds interesting, pay per use with expandable cpus on demand

[supple gorge]

[online] Could not find local Player for received AuthToken - reboot server fixed this issue for one of our players

[sharp lake]

I am also having the same experience. Can’t find my server, try to put together some people to play, but they can’t find the server. I can because it is in my favourites.

[shut island]

Okay! I solved the issue for myself. I changed the default ports and forwarded them in my router. Added to fav in steam game servers. Launched the game and my server showed at the top of the list. I connected to make sure it was working. Closed game and removed from steam game server fav and launched game again and searched for my server and it was there. Issue resolved.

The ports I used are 27015-27016

[grim cape]

yes use it at work. is perfectly fine. but doesnt work for enshrouded hosting. even the 8 cpu instances lag on 4 players

[sharp lake]

Can other people find your server searching in game ?

[grim cape]

has anyone benchmarked using wine64 and proton?

[shut island]

Go search for it, my friends are offline atm, but I can find it. Server name is Nerdlings

[sharp lake]

I will check it out in a bit

[zenith knoll]

can vouch for that - if you are in EU, just get a dedicated at Hetzner instead of cloud

[grim cape]

yeah its not that much more costly. 8cpu cloud is like 28€ and cheapest -non serverbörse- bare metal is 42€

the cloud advantage of "i need 50 of those machines NOW and only for 4 hours" is not a usecase for most gaming stuff anyway

[zenith knoll]

there are 32GB i7 6700s for 29 euro at Hetzner, sadly no NA dedis

And with how other hosts are charging top dime for 3600 and 3700x's I'd rather just get a b520M for cheap and slap one myself lol

[light bridge]

The serverbörse has some really good offers, no? I see like an r7 3700 and 64gb ram for like 45€, that feels like a steal or is there anything I don't see which ruins the offer

[grim cape]

3600 with 64gb is 44 new

if you go one version older and/or to intel like the 5700 you can save 10-15€

sometimes you get really got offers there tho. if you can wait a couple of days and dont get sniped

[light bridge]

What server would you suggest for game servers

[shut island]

I'm having another small issue. I copied my local save files for my world to my dedicated server savefile and now I am getting the game creation error. I changed the password and saved .json file but I still get the error. Any of you deal with this and resolve it?

[light bridge]

Tried to remove the save again?

[shut island]

No

[light bridge]

Try that

[candid tiger]

You could try checking out game host bros if you want your own server. I'm with them and they are fine

[shut island]

That worked, but I want my local save. I followed the instructions in server-faq, so not sure where I went wrong. Do you know?

[shut island]

I've always had great experience with PingPerfect

[shut island]

I got it working

I had to rename the file even if it was already the name it needed to be.

Thank you everyone for all of the input.

[tender dragon]

Can anyone recommend a good stable UK server please? Wanted Gportal but nearest available is Germany

[frigid marten]

When there are 0 players on the server,

[light bridge]

That's fine no? Ping should be 30-35

[candid tiger]

Germany is the main central hub tbh, it would be more to do with the host. Find someone who is good and it will be better. my germany one is running great

[tender dragon]

Ah ok, I didn't realise. I'll go with that germany one then unless there are better options than gportal?

[light bridge]

Gportal one of the better ones

[candid tiger]

I'm with game host bros but they are usually sold out, dyor

[tender dragon]

ok thanks : )

[lethal ridge]

What can i do, if the server is lagging like hell 😦 I just started it at 4net...

Ping is 58

[random atlas]

swedishhost has fixed their issues with lag now, thank god.

[lethal ridge]

but unplayable...

[random atlas]

What i heard is that people can play single on G-portal, after that it's starts lagging.

[frigid marten]

Your best bet is to open a support ticket with your hosting provider, alerting them to it. They might be able to allocate more resources to aid with that. This appears to be an increasing issue since yesterdays patch.

I would also report it in-game

Question
I have a Nitrado server, as GPortal was sold out, and Host Havoc is waiting for game optimization.

So with Nitrado Server, I have gone through and added the server through the steam back end as a Favorite. However it seems this works fine if you can get the game to load the available servers consistently.

I launched the game, went to join, and the favorited server populated within a few seconds. I clicked join, entered correct password, and clicked confirm to join.

then is recieved the error "failed to create game"

Which inturn kicked me back to main menu. However when I went back to retry joining the server. The list will not populate now, and therefore the favorited server is not available as a join option.

I have tried closing program and restarting and am getting no better results.

So to the question:

Is this a known issue, and if so is there a fix or work around?

[frigid marten]

Haven’t experienced this, sounds like a server issue

[fluid kayak]

It is a server and latency issue. I have one server doing this.

[shadow night]

Our gaming group has mitigated this by scheduling regular restarts on the server as well as regular logging out and back in to preserve character items/level. It’s the only advice I’ve got until they can get this figured out

@shadow night And it works for you and your Group so i will take a test on our Server. That would be Great 🙂 thx

They are different hosting companies. All of these companies are over subscribed and over loaded with palword and enshrouded boom

[stable elk]

Came here to ask about this, but I see it's an ongoing issue. I have a lot of previous experience hosting, I am hosting from a local machine and have port forwarded appropriately as well as made custom exemptions in the windows firewall, but yet others still cannot find my server in the in-game server browser, nor can they find it via the steam server browser as well. Only way users can connect to the server, is if I connect to the server and they join either via friend invitation or joining off of my name on steam.

I had to change the query port for people to be able to find and connect

[stable elk]

i just saw that, im trying it now!

[azure pecan]

add the server to favorites through steam, the server browser is not reliable atm

[lament steppe]

@stable elk Serch for the Name of the Server? It can take a While . Same here but the Favorit

[uncut bear]

How do I find the server through steam?

[fluid kayak]

Folllow this guide - https://www.g-portal.com/wiki/en/issue-i-cant-find-my-enshrouded-server-in-the-game-what-can-i-do/

[azure pecan]

there is also a guide in the server-faq channel

[drowsy wigeon]

is there any way to force a server save on a dedicated server?

[topaz dragon]

some one can take epic or legendary dreadbane hammer ?

[stable elk]

For anyone that has friends not able to find the dedicated server even with the steam server browser, @mossy lintel and @shut island's solution of changing the ports to 27015 and 27016 has actually resolved my issue. Users can now find the server in the steam browser and favorite it. Thank you very much!

Hello, is it possible to have multiple sderver on same machine ? I crroectly changed my port on json bah when à try to start a second server he said "CreateBoundSocket: ::bind couldn't find an open port between 15637 and 15637"

[vernal pollen]

it seem that dedicated server cpu load raise slowly over time. restarting the Enshrouded Dedicated Server brings cpu usage on our system down to 35'ish, from there it seem to raise about 10% per day, so after a few days you hit 65% - at which point ingame starts to report high server load. just closing the server down and booting it back up will reset cpu usage to 35% - is there a leak somewhere?

[mossy lintel]

yeah im running my palworld server on the same machine my enshrouded server is on

[plucky atlas]

Anything in the logs? We had this issue and the logs were spitting something out along the lines of could not delete something. Don't remember the phrasing.

[uncut bear]

I'm trying to add the dedicated server to favorites through Steam and when I input the ip and port it says no server found, I tried changing the input port to 27015 and 27016 and same issue

[ocean stratus]

Are there any recommendations on good hosted server providers from PR3SIDENT's list?
I've seen a few complained about, but no one saying they've had a good experience so far?

[azure pecan]

i've tried 4netplayers, nitrado, nodecraft, and pingperfect. all have had their issues

[vernal pollen]

hm, I can't see anything in the log that seems off.. the cpu load is the same without players on the server - at which point nothing new registers in the log

[tiny tangle]

Try Contabo VPS with 6vCores of EPYC, custom image for free and install Windows 10 PRO and voila, should fix the issues.

[light bridge]

The hosts are not the problem, the dedicated server code is just really unoptimized

[light bridge]

Don't you have to activate the Windows to use it properly? Or does it work fine

Also, contabo is overselling their vps a lot, performance could sink drastically

[tiny tangle]

I will try that tonight but i have Enshrouded on Windows Server 2019. No idea how it will works. In idle without players it's on 15% of CPU for whole day. Ram is barerly touched.

[frozen valve]

Anyone have a solution for a Friend ? we played since launch on the same rented server (g-portal). this morning everything worked fine, but now after work he got stuck on a infinite loading screen while i can still leave and join the server

[next quartz]

Hey, anyone got some dedicated server knowledge here?
When I run Dedicated server through steam, no one can find it. ( I have port forwarded 15600 - 15650, because only opening 15635 and 15636 that I read from the Enshrouded_server.json file didn't work at all)
1 . When I run dedicated server by using enshrouded_server.exe directly in the game directory one can search for server name, and it works everytime over the web.
1a. However, one can't find it you check the "only friend servers" and yes I am steam friends with alternative my steam account that I bought enshrouded for just so that I can run the enshrouded dedicated server on that remote machine. but that is then probably because the server wasn't started via steam?
2 . Is there any clarification why I can't run the server via steam's "start enshrouded dedicated" button? the server command window shows normally but the game client over the internet can't find the game server at all.

[charred bramble]

I'm running a dedicated server, I was just connected to it base building, I jumped on a work meeting so closed the game, tried to connect and can't see it in the server list anymore, tried adding it to favorites via Steam Client Server list but get an error "Unable to connect to server, app id specified by server is invalid", the server is still up and running and I can see it but it won't connect, nothing else has changed since I was connected to it 30 min ago, ports are forwarded

[mossy lintel]

try changing the query port to something else, I wasnt able to add the server via IP with the default query port

[charred bramble]

Thanks! This worked

[mossy lintel]

np glad to help out! enjoy the game!

[keen sun]

guys .. is the a short cut key or quick key or button to mass make all my ston in my bag in to stone block ?

thanks for teaching me

[charred bramble]

is it possible to setup multiple query ports or a range of ports in the json incase one of them has issues?

[daring citrus]

what should i do if the server tells me its running, but i can't find it on any server browser or add it to my favorites. I'm not very experienced with hosting servers so I haven't really been able to troubleshoot w my intuition

[grave cradle]

i suppose you want to know, if there's a way to craft all available stone in your inventory into stoneblocks, with just one click ? i dont think there is a shortcut like that

[keen sun]

Yes it is wad I wanted to ask , thanks for the reply bro 👊

[proper garden]

Looking to play with a group and voice chat

[old plume]

I was having a lot of trouble getting a G-Portal server set up yesterday. It kept giving me a red error message in the corner when I'd try to turn it on. It did work briefly, but I turned it off to apply my existing save game to it and then couldn't get it back on thereafter. Was there an outage or something?

[ivory imp]

How do i join my friends public server? His server name is not showing up..

[long tangle]

is g-portal good?

[toxic cove]

just ask about his ID, and add it on steam favorites

[cyan spruce]

While everything I've tried has failed to make my dedicated server visible in the server list, I would like to know the difference between launching the Dedicated Server via the Steam "Launch" button and doing "Properties", "Installed Files", "Browse...", and clicking on enshrouded_server.exe? Since it is much easier to click the "Launch" button I'd rather do it that way.

[main yoke]

i have the same issue and have not found a solution so far

[vague willow]

Yup I restarted my server this morning after we played on it like 8 hours last night, wont show up on steam list anymore with no settings changes

[prime zodiac]

Anyone for this?

[toxic cove]

hi guys, can someone tell me how i save my own host server? or i can config the interval of saves?

[left juniper]

So my brother and I have been playing, he hosts and I will join sometimes. But if he's not around then obviously I cannot play on our save because he has it locally only.

We're not looking for a hosting service or one of us hosting locally 24/7. So I setup Syncthing to sync his remote folder to the cloud and to my remote folder on my computer. Excluding the character files obviously.

After doing this when I try to host a game, I don't see an option to host this world. I just have the option to create a new world. Is there another file I should be syncing as well that will help the game see these two world files?

[cerulean vortex]

If you are talking about dedicated box you own and control, then CTRL-C will save and exit. fire it back up (it's super fast)

[drowsy wigeon]

No on a paid hosting. Nitrado

[cerulean vortex]

navigate to that location, create a shortcut that opens that location, put it on your desktop

[charred bramble]

I had to update the server.json with a new query port and then I was able to add it and connect again and see it in the server list

[cyan spruce]

While that gives me yet another way to launch the server, it doesn't answer the question of what is the difference between all of the ways the dedicated server can be launched.

[slow hazel]

i would recommend low.ms for EU

[odd yacht]

hi i have a problem with the server i'm trying to use wine, but only the queryport is opening

i can't see the gameport open through netstat

[olive rose]

When solo/hosting local, the game occasionally freezes and rubber bands me/us by about 10 seconds; sometimes the game has to be force closed and reopened, other times the freeze releases but the inputs from during the freeze go through when it unfreezes.
Anyone else experience this?

I tried this, still doesn't work. Today server was working normally 10-12h :/

[grand onyx]

Guys, does the shader comp only run once?

[gleaming galleon]

It’s weird. Yesterday and up to 12:00am today, I was running good. I log in this morning around 7am and my guy is stuttering so hard he breaks ankles.

[livid anchor]

Shader compilation? seems to run once per update for me.

[grand onyx]

Aight thx

[torn plaza]

Anyone think a steam deck can run a server?

[grand onyx]

Probably not

[mossy lintel]

Doubt it

Is there any news or ETA for native server linux support?
Right now wine uses 20% of my CPU

[winged kindle]

Bought a gport server, trying to add it to my steam favorite servers and it keeps saying did not find any servers at address. Anyone else had similar issue with gport servers?

[trail nimbus]

How do i DL the map from my Gportal server and transfer it to my local drive?

[nova basin]

Yes, add in port 15 #server-faq

[inner harness]

Gportal hosting is notorious for being absolutely terrible at hosting servers. I used to have a Minecraft and valheim server under them but switched as they never helped me with any of my problems which included not being able to download any files such as the world saves and my servers constantly going down and or lagging. Just to warn y’all

[winged kindle]

What do you mean add in port 15?

[empty otter]

@trail nimbusyou would need to locate the save files, sure gportal uses a FTP for downloading and uploading files. ive not used gportal or server hosts for around 5 years tho so lol

[cerulean vortex]

Keep in mind that QUERY Port should be GamePort + 1 (however, if using GPORTAL, it's GamePort+15 for some servers, and GamePort+1 for others)

[nova basin]

I don't understand what happened to my server. A couple of minutes ago I was playing on it and then it passed out. When checking in the list of g-portal servers, it disappeared. And in the game there is a different name in the list of servers for the same IP. What's going on?

[tropic plover]

Discuss it with your server provider. G-portal.

[fickle mortar]

Русские есть?)))

[daring scroll]

Figured out today that for no apparent reason the server performs much worse and uses significantly more CPU % on Ryzen 5-series CPU's than it does on Ryzen 3-series. We had to start moving customers to older nodes running Ryzen 3's. The server for this game really is a mess.

5600X ran worse than 3600X, 5800X worse than 3800X

And that's only since the most recent patch.

[hollow merlin]

Maybe i'm another question in the mass but is there problems with servers? We have log out yesterday after the update but today impossible to see the server in the list.
It's powered by G-Portal fyi

[surreal trail]

Happened to me earlier.. Had to just find it using the steam client

[hollow merlin]

We can find a server with the steam client ? how ?

[surreal trail]

view, then game servers @hollow merlin

[static dove]

Hey, can you tell me where I can find these logs? I don't understand the path they gave me

" Host log files & backup folder
Find the log folder in the "logDirectory": "./logs", including the backup folder “…/logs/backup”
Compress the folder into a zip file and attach it to your response. "

[marble sand]

can somebody help me, I just bought a server but I won't find it on the game servers

[prime zodiac]

@hollow merlin @marble sand
Guys read the #server-faq

Use the steam server browser. Just tried it, works properly

[ebon snow]

Okay so the only way for my friends to join my dedicated server is if I am in session then they can join and then i can leave in game. Tried everything including game port and adding the server to game server as favorites

[primal inlet]

where u find new query

[ebon snow]

And it seems this issue is only if you are running your own dedicated server. I noticed that players using server hosting dont have this issue

[primal inlet]

we were playing, the server is up, but we cant connect to it now

"Game creation failed"

[slow karma]

right clicking on the server exe and "run as administrator" fixed the game creation failed bug for me

[primal inlet]

im not using my own server

[turbid forum]

Is this where I post when I've found a bug?

[deft echo]

is anybody have issue loading server alll of a sudden

[sand mulch]

Yup same server issie even after restarting the server

[daring scroll]

tbh you guys really need to figure out what's causing the game creation failed bug. I don't think it has anything to do with the JSON file. It seems every time you restart the server you're rolling the dice as to whether or not it will work regardless of editing the server settings or not.

[deft echo]

@daring scroll New game i am sure they are working on it. but code is not easy to debug. they will get it give them time

[timid oasis]

Has anyone experienced unusual CPU usage while running Enshrouded?

[sand mulch]

Na think the majority understand it early access. In my case just confirming that it appers to be a common issue atm.

[timid oasis]

Running the Enshrouded server using Proton on the physical server I've rented, I encountered abnormal CPU usage. When there are no players, the CPU usage is at 250%, and as soon as a player enters the game, the CPU load reaches 2000%. On another machine with an i7-12700, everything runs normally, with a CPU usage of 300% when six players are online. I am completely puzzled by the cause and can only speculate whether there might be some missing functionality on this server that is affecting Proton.Thanks

#server-faq

[umbral gyro]

dedicated server no longer listed after update, looks like others are having the same issue, anyone find a solution?

[primal inlet]

same its early access i understand but its sad i want to play

[primal inlet]

add it one steam servers favorite worked for me yesterday

[charred bramble]

I just bumped the last digit up by 1

[old bone]

Do you have it favorited?

I think the servers appear in the order that they register on the master server list. So if you reboot the server it's down to the bottom. But when you favorite a server, the game (steam) queries it directly so the server list order doesn't matter.

[umbral gyro]

yes its favorited, i also waited for list to fully populate and no result

[prime zodiac]

Written in the FAQ. Change the server password (had the same on G-portal)

[old bone]

What's the ip/port?

[prime zodiac]

Does it show in the steam server list?

[umbral gyro]

no when i try to add it is says no server found despite it being up, trying to source that issue rn

[umbral gyro]

24.21.157.52:15636

[mossy lintel]

Try changing the query port

[old bone]

Info { header: 73, protocol: 17, name: "Atrium", map: "", folder: "Enshrouded", game: "Enshrouded", id: 0, players: 0, max_players: 16, bots: 0, server_type: Dedicated, environment: Windows, visibility: Private, vac: Unsecured, game_version: "0.0.15.0", extra_data_flag: Some(177), port: Some(15636), steam_id: Some(90180149538123803), spectator_port: None, spectator_name: None, keywords: Some("3;487046"), game_id: Some(2278520), trailing_bytes: None }

It's up. Like @mossy lintel just wrote, when you go to add it to your favorites, use the query port, not the game port.

[prime zodiac]

yeah, it also only works for me too with the Query port (G-portal)

[random atlas]

the easiest you could do is to restart your server via the control panel

[umbral gyro]

query port was able to favorite the server on steam but it still isnt on the listed in gmae

[random atlas]

Do you use any provider or is it self hosted?

[umbral gyro]

self host

[random atlas]

Windows or linux ?

[umbral gyro]

windows

[random atlas]

strage, it should not be a problem to be honest with the querry port, have you checked you firewall?

[umbral gyro]

everything was fine pre update, just gotta source what it is that changed.
i have tcp and udp for both ports allowed through firewall, im really stumped

[random atlas]

indeed strange

[prime zodiac]

what's the query port? Wanna check if I can add it

[unkempt wyvern]

my friend is running a server,it was fine for couple days,just now we constant get the error that the server is overload,

any possible fix we can do? he is running the server with steam cmd

[wind shuttle]

I had the same issue. Are you launching the server from steam or directly from the executable in the folder?

[umbral gyro]

i always run as admin from folder, launching from steam initially gave the same issue

[wind shuttle]

Gotcha, I was going to say that finally fixed the problem for me.

[umbral gyro]

yeah pre update that was the fix, like i said this ones a head scratcher

[prime zodiac]

Now my game updated, since then I can't see the server either, but mine is G-Portal hosted

[long wagon]

have they ever restarted the server since launching it? I had the same issue so I started restarting it each day and it's been fine since. I believe it needs a restart about once a day to stay stable.

[teal condor]

I connected to a friends server yesterday and played for a few hours just fine - now im trying to log back into it and the game is on a loading screen like its waiting to load in, but on the console it doesnt even show that I am trying to log in - is there a fix?

[unkempt wyvern]

yes it stays the same after reset,we gonna look after server update again

[ancient phoenix]

Does anyone have any experience running 2 instances on WindowsGSM? I tried adding a second server, configured the ports to 15638 and 15639, but when the second instance starts, it still tried to bind itself to 15637 which the first instance is using and crashes

I checked the configs for the second instance but can't find any reference to 15637 anyway

anywhere*

[prime zodiac]

So I had the same now. The issue for me was that the server is not on the same version as the game, hence you can't see it inside the server browser, only in the steam browser.

[sleek lodge]

anyone receive error with dedicated crashing with heartbeat error?

[prime zodiac]

Once I stopped the server it got updated (via G-Portal) and now it works properly

[dawn flower]

hello how can upgrade version on my dedicated server on windows/steamcmd

[acoustic schooner]

any patch notes ?

[dawn flower]

wich command need ?

[tardy folio]

did you check your enshrouded_server.json file

[ancient phoenix]

Yep

[dawn flower]

someone can help me ?

[edgy stratus]

app_update 2278520 validate

[dawn flower]

in steamcmd ?

[ancient phoenix]

"gamePort": "15638",
"queryPort": "15639",

in enshrouded_server.json

[edgy stratus]

yea start steamcmd then do this chain of commands

force_install_dir replace_With_you_install_locatoin
login anonymous 
app_update 2278520 validate
quit

[half kraken]

they can search for the server in steam, how many ppl have done it instead of in the game itself

[empty vector]

why cant i find my friends server in enshreouded

[zealous sandal]

does anyone else's "Toggle Console" Button not work anymore in WindowsGSM since this update?

[woeful pagoda]

steam > view > gameservers > history > (as long as youve conneted once) > rightclick >add favorite have your firends join you then they can do the same

if your setup needs ports forwarded and its not done correctly you wont be able to see it using ip address

[daring scroll]

Agreed, I'm about to suspend sales as well. The most recent update made it run even worse than it already did.

on linux with wine it starts a random game port even if you specify it, someone posted the same on reddit :/ linux server would be appreciated

Any ideas?

i change anything on our server then "game creation failed"

[rare hearth]

my dedicated is up as well, but it isn't showing up in the list, and I can't directly connect to it through the Steam -> Game Servers Ui, the game isn't recognizing that I'm trying to connect through that way.

[burnt fable]

Same on both accounts.

[mellow nebula]

[distant furnace]

[woeful pagoda]

update server and client?

yep

[woeful pagoda]

im updating my server now

[rare hearth]

it's a trap, don't do it 🙂

[charred crater]

my gtxgaming server is running but doesnt appear anymore

[rare hearth]

I would have chalked it up to the server list just getting hammered.

but I should have been able to direct connect, so leads me to think something else is going on

[woeful pagoda]

had a few playing and a few that downloaded the update not be able to see server figured version mistach

[distant furnace]

i just restarted my server again, it made an update, and now i see it ingame! (Nitrado)

[shut island]

If you get the unable to create game error after the update, you will need to rename your world file again, IF you copied over your local save.

[waxen meadow]

обнова топ - сервак

когда ждать обнову с фиксом ?

[daring scroll]

anyone renting their server through a provider is likely going to have issues once they update, since the new patch tanks performance even further

I'm going to stop sales today at my company until it's fixed.
