Moving to thread to hopefully not make it a mess. I'm getting an error in my config log "Client version: no bootstrapper found".

Anything there I need to worry about?

you talking about connection_log.txt ?

nothing in there need to worry about

What is your Game Version (SVN): of the Server?

cool, yeah I am dealing with a tired, cranky kid... I'll be back in 5-10 to put in my .02, if @next stag here hasn't gotten you squared away yet.

mmmmmk, you're up to date there

#

-- Can you see your server in the Steam Server List?

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 4:39 AM

#

I can't, but I never could (LAN issue), but my friend can't see it now either

#

The server name is "Blood Gulch" in the US. You may be able to see it?

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 4:45 AM

Let me check.

Could it be because I'm sharing a Steam account on my gaming PC and on my server PC?

I'm doing the same thing. I didnt buy 2 copies or anythign like that

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 4:52 AM

Okay, so I exited steam on both machines, closed the server, re-launched steam on the server, and now I have this:

that looks WAY better

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 4:53 AM

#

Maybe Steam didn't update correctly last time I opened it?

#

Would you mind checking the server again to see if it's listed?

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 4:54 AM

#

hmm, are you starting the Server by running enshrouded_server.exe?

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 4:55 AM

#

yep!

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 4:55 AM

#

ok, ill check the game servers

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 4:55 AM

#

I think we are on to something here. lots of problems with people that use steam, to run the server. open the folder and run from there directly. typically, if you are going to use steam to update it, only run steam for the update, then exit steam on the server system, and always start directly from the folder exe

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 4:56 AM

#

Weird!

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 4:56 AM

#

aye

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 4:57 AM

#

I ran it from Steam, and got the good info on that steamquery, then closed and re-launched it from the exe and now it's back to the crap steamquery

#

Not sure if in my case I should just use the Steam version?

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 4:57 AM

#

yeah I think it has something to do with the way it starts, with the steam://blahblah blah crap... like it can't assume the right credentials on the computer to run, when it does it that way. but if you are admin on the computer, and run the exe straight from the folder. works much better

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 5:00 AM

#

I dont see Blood Gulch inside of Enshrouded yet. You'll probably want to try and connect via Steam Server List

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:03 AM

#

I'm checking to see if my buddies are able to see it now. In the meantime, would any of you have any advice for how to get my gaming PC to see/connect to the server on the server PC?

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:03 AM

#

errant basin I'm checking to see if my buddies are able to see it now. In the meantime, would...

I was going to ask about this as well... are you wired to the same network? or on wifi?

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:04 AM

#

I've tried both, no luck either way

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:04 AM

#

and on both connections, you are on the same subnet? 192.168.x.x?

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:04 AM

#

The router I'm using is a Linksys and it doesn't support hairpin NAT so I can't ping the computer directly through that

#

Yes

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:05 AM

#

that router sounds like a nightmare...

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 5:05 AM

#

It shouldn't matter. Enshrouded wont use local network in order to connect to a dedicated server

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:06 AM

#

I am just letting the server list simmer right now... it's on page 1/72 right now... but I hear there are 500+ pages...

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:06 AM

#

Trying to ping my own public IP just times out on my PC, but my wife can do it just fine. I've tried disabling firewall and it didn't fix it.

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:06 AM

#

what is your computers gateway? your router IP?>

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:07 AM

#

192.168.1.1

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:07 AM

#

yup...

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:07 AM

#

?

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:07 AM

#

have any funky software that likes to get in the way? mcaffee, norton internet protection? anything like that?

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:08 AM

#

I do have NordVPN, but I disabled it during troubleshooting

#

I might try uninstalling it?

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

you may... it installs a virtual network card on your system to do most of the vpn stuff. may be causing issues...

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

Just to baseline, Your gaming PC and the Server are two different PCs, correct?

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:10 AM

#

Yep. The Server PC is a Windows 11 Pro machine and the Gaming PC is a Windows 11 Home, if that makes any difference

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 5:10 AM

#

thats fine

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:10 AM

#

Private network, I can see the other one in the file explorer

#

Can connect using TeamViewer so I don't have to run up and down the stairs all the time

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

Can your friends outside of your network see the server in Steam Server List? -- if you want to drop your public IP here, we can check as well

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

They usually can, but haven't been able to today.

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

k

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

Just a sec

#

Could this issue be coming from steamcmd at all? Versioning for that, etc?

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:13 AM

#

well steamcmd is the preferred way to install it and run it, if you ask me. Tends to be more reliable... and doesn't need full fat steam installed on the host system.

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 5:13 AM

#

^^

#

Its been the best results for me as well

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:14 AM

#

Interesting. That's what I've been using thus far. I tried the Steam App launcher a little bit ago and it seemed to fix the empty "game" value in the steamquery, but now it's gone again. 🤷‍♂️

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:15 AM

#

for your internal network issue... I would say check the route table on your computer that can't get to talk to the server. "route print" in cmd. Look for anything that mentions a 192.168.1.x entry, pointing to something other than 192.168.1.1, or something for your servers ip specifically.

#

normally.. there should just be a top entry for 0.0.0.0 / 0.0.0.0 pointing to your gateway... but you may have something else in there

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

192.168.1.1 -> 192.168.1.12 on 0.0.0.0

#

If I do a tracert to the Server PC it all times out, tho

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:19 AM

#

k.. cracking my knuckes a bit... lemme see if I remember some of this stuf... going to look for a file real quick

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

For the enshrouded server issue, would there be any problem with me running it off of the D: drive rather than Program Files or C:?

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

No problems there

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

nope. none at all. when you install it, you tell it where to go

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

steamcmd is on C: and enshrouded server is on D:

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

steamcmd +force_install_dir PATH_TO_INSTALL_FOLDER +login anonymous +app_update 2278520 validate +quit

#

just change the path, to where you want it. if spaces, use quotes

#

after you install it, throw the world files from the other ones /savegame folder, into this ones.

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:23 AM

#

Should that run automatically with the "+" in there or do I need to break it apart? My steam just hangs up on a blank "Steam> |"

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:24 AM

#

errant basin Should that run automatically with the "+" in there or do I need to break it apa...

open a command prompt, and run just like that from the directory steamcmd is in.

next stag Feb 1, 2024, 5:24 AM

#

feel free to format in this chat, copy, then right click in the CMD

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:25 AM

#

steamcmd is a cli program, you can do it line by line by typing each command, but if you open a command prompt, you can just do the whole thing 🙂

errant basin Feb 1, 2024, 5:25 AM

#

Great tip! that saves me a lot of time.

#

Verifying the install again right now with steamcmd

#

Nothing updated

wispy orchid Feb 1, 2024, 5:26 AM

#

yup. make a notepad file, and copy that into it, rename it enshrouded.bat

#

run it whenever you need to run an update

#

throw it in your steamcmd folder

#

then it verified, and all the files are good... it's likely the exact same version at this point, but I wasn't sure.

#

if you want me to poke from my side, welcome to DM your IP to me. people cringe at that, but I assure you. 25 year tech, currently employed for the government, as a systems and network administrator... I'm not going to do anything.
