Hey there, apologies for the inconvenience.
I understand that you have sent already your Enshrouded.log to our helpers, correct? Do you have access to the files of server you are playing?

regal cipher
#

@acoustic condor When you get on, and I am around, would you be willing to befriend me on steam so you can join one of my hosted games so I can get a log from the hosts side to see if I get any more information we can give, Kall here? (Kall is part of the Keen Team)

acoustic condor
acoustic condor
#

Sorry for the delay, playing my solo game and got caught up in lego mode

regal cipher
#

Did you get a friend invite?

acoustic condor
#

Got it and accepted

#

I think I accepted anyway, might have been moving too fast lol

#

Trying to join your game

regal cipher
#

lol some other rando just joined too

#

you are Camwolfe?

acoustic condor
#

That's me

#

Weird, so I can join your game

regal cipher
#

hmm... okay.

#

Let's try something else.

#

I am gonna jump out, and go into my established world.

#

Lets see if you have the issue on that

acoustic condor
#

It's weird though, I can't see my character or any items

#

Okay

regal cipher
#

Okay go ahead and try again.

acoustic condor
#

Got an error that you are running and older version. Please make sure you both have the latest version of the game to use online features

regal cipher
#

uh... lol

mossy dome
#

If it works again, please ask your friend to send us their Enshrouded.log.
Set up a similar session that you did with Kira - Have your friend host the world, then attempt to join the world. If the issue occurs, have them send you their Enshrouded.log to you and you send us both their log as well as yours

regal cipher
#

Try again?

acoustic condor
regal cipher
#

let me restart then one second

regal cipher
acoustic condor
#

Same thing

regal cipher
#

@mossy dome - is it possible that there was something left behind with game that were created before or during the API update that was left behind in a save that would make it look for something in the newer API?

#

Sorry that didn't make sense.

acoustic condor
#

lol Made sense to me

regal cipher
#

Like if a game was created during or before the update you guys did to the newer API, could something have been left behind in the saves when you rolled back

regal cipher
acoustic condor
#

I see you on a different session now, let me try this one

regal cipher
#

Those were my testing saves

acoustic condor
#

So far no good

regal cipher
#

okay, but no "wrong version?"

acoustic condor
#

No

#

Just loading screen

regal cipher
#

not seeing you actually log in, either

mossy dome
acoustic condor
#

So it seems like new game after update I can join, any existing game pre update I cannot

regal cipher
# mossy dome not to our knowledge

It may have been something specifically with that save. Same save with the cloud on (I turn cloud off to do the stuff we did last week)

acoustic condor
#

I'm curious to see if you can join my game if I host it

regal cipher
mossy dome
regal cipher
regal cipher
#

you can dm it to me

mossy dome
#

Right. I know you guys are still testing stuff, so take your time answering, but can you go over with me once again about the server that Silent can't join?
It's a world that was created before the API changes, and that's it? Or is it a dedicated server that was running before the API changes?

acoustic condor
regal cipher
acoustic condor
#

Correct, it's my friend's hosted local game

regal cipher
acoustic condor
#

Like 4 or 5 days ago

regal cipher
#

okay... interesting. I can't join their game either @mossy dome - it's just this:

image.png
acoustic condor
#

Had a feeling that would happen

regal cipher
#

Even so far as stopping at the same point

mossy dome
#

Can you share with me the save for the world that can't be joined please?

regal cipher
#

SAVE FILE LOCATIONS:

If Steam Cloud is turned off:
..\Users\%username%\Saved Games\Enshrouded
If Steam Cloud is turned on:
..\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[YourSteamID]\1203620\remote
(YourSteamID is your unique Steam ID number)

regal cipher
mossy dome
#

and just to be 100% sure, you guys were in the same version, correct?

regal cipher
#

They were able to join a new game I created.

mossy dome
acoustic condor
#

Yes, but as I mentioned I couldn't actually see my character or any of my items which was strange

regal cipher
mossy dome
regal cipher
#

but they weren't able to join other servers.

regal cipher
#

I saw them as fully geared.

acoustic condor
mossy dome
#

ok. Silent, I also need to check something off my list before we continue. Understand that this will have no negative repercussions, so please speak openly - but have you and your friend also use cheats or other such 3rd party software with your games?

#

it's important because such things can lead to conflicts and it's best we are aware that this can be a potential issue

acoustic condor
mossy dome
#

It's ok, it was just to be sure

#

some people do cheat and it becomes an endless rabbit hunt

acoustic condor
#

Of course, gotta cover all the bases

mossy dome
#

Ok, so, Silent, I need your complete save file, please. Characters, world, everything

mossy dome
#

If I understood correctly from the talk above, you have a world that Kira couldn't join, correct?

acoustic condor
#

Is that what you need?

mossy dome
#

Yes, thank you very much

#

@regal cipher The character that you used to attempt to join Silent's world - was it also an older one, or a new one?

acoustic condor
regal cipher
mossy dome
#

not initially

#

but

#

just to make sure we have 100% repro, could you send me your save data as well, please?

regal cipher
mossy dome
#

What's the name of the world that Kira couldn't join?

acoustic condor
#

My World 1

regal cipher
#

And Home World was the name of the one he couldn't join.

mossy dome
#

good, thank you very much both of you

#

we'll be giving it a proper hard look. If we find a workaround, we'll also mention it

regal cipher
acoustic condor
#

Thank you both, I truely appreciate it

mossy dome
# acoustic condor Thank you both, I truely appreciate it

Ok, so the bad good news is that I loaded up your save, I hosted My World 1 and asked a colleague to join up said world with Mama Kira's character and it worked.
Good because in theory it means that the save file isn't borked or anything of the sort.
Bad because it means something is still afoot.

Could you check with me and see if you can host this My World 1 world as a single player game? Privately

#

like, not host at all actually, just go "Private" in the main world selection

acoustic condor
#

Yes, I'm in

mossy dome
#

ok, so another question then

#

@regal cipher did you had your save file on Cloud or Local save?

#

when you attempted to join silent's world

regal cipher
mossy dome
#

ok so both of you were on cloud

regal cipher
#

though - when he was able to get into my new game, I was actually not on cloud.

#

Just to confuse things further. I had forgotten to switch back over after last week

#

This is a weird one. Usually when I come across an issue of someone not being able to load into a game, it's due to vram issues. The problem with that is their card has as much vram as half the people have system memory running the game...

#

hmm... Silent - the world that I tried to join, was that made before or after the patch yesterday?

acoustic condor
#

After, my friend had shut the game down so I started a private game while he was away

regal cipher
#

interesting.

mossy dome
#

Silent, are both you and your friend playing from far away of each other? Or are you living close to each other?

acoustic condor
#

Far couple thousand miles apart

regal cipher
acoustic condor
regal cipher
#

quite close then

mossy dome
#

Silent, could you do something for me that's a bit different from what we've requesting so far?

regal cipher
#

You are about 160 miles from me.

mossy dome
#

One of the devs checked the logs and suspects that the issue is happening because there's a lot of package loss happening

#

Please do the following:

  1. Go to Start
  2. Search for "cmd" so you can open the command prompt
  3. type the following:
    ping /n 50 www.google.com
  4. press enter
#

what this will do is basically send 50 pings each second to the Google website

#

and this ping will return to you

#

the most important thing is that at the end, it will give you a summary of how many packages were sent and how many were received in return

regal cipher
#

hmm... we have been having some weather here, so probably in vegas too. It's not unreasonable to assume there might be some internet issues.

acoustic condor
#

Sent 50 recieved 50 lost 0

mossy dome
#

Would it be possible to ask your friend/host to do the same?

acoustic condor
#

He's sleeping at the moment

regal cipher
#

I did the same, since we were having the problem as well. 50/50

mossy dome
#

🤔

#

god dammit

#

It doesn't exclude the possibility of package loss happening between you guys, for the record

regal cipher
#

I may have chuckled at that. I'm sorry.

mossy dome
#

it just means that package loss doesn't happen between you and google

acoustic condor
mossy dome
#

but why is the package loss happening tho

acoustic condor
#

I can say the distance between us has had impact on the ping times going up to 103 ms, this is the first time I've been unable to connect though. Quite possible the packet loss is on my end which could explain why Mama Kira and I cannot connect either. Though it's strange it let me into one of her games

regal cipher
mossy dome
#

yeah but admittedly our netcode isn't amazing

acoustic condor
#

It's not bad, just caused some interesting instances of enemies to lag and be right on top of me

mossy dome
#

but if it worked before, something is amiss

regal cipher
mossy dome
#

If you are ok with this, go ahead, but don't doxx yourself mama

#

Ok, uh

acoustic condor
mossy dome
#

If you guys attempt to join each other like before again, does it still occur?

regal cipher
#

hmm. ping uses a different protocol than the game does.

mossy dome
#

now that we are sure that you both have excellent packages

acoustic condor
#

I know I shouldn't have laughed but

regal cipher
#

I'm not entirely sure you understand just how wonderfully funny that was or not.

#

I'll start up a game

#

you can join when ready, @acoustic condor

acoustic condor
#

So far just the black screen showing Enshrouded and dots

regal cipher
#

and no notification of anyone joining

mossy dome
#

hmghmg,hmghm,ghm,gm

regal cipher
#

I KNOW

acoustic condor
#

That's how I've felt the last few hours

regal cipher
#

okay I am going to create a new game - lets see what the logs on both sides looks like when you can join

#

(if)

regal cipher
acoustic condor
#

Joined, black screen with Enhrouded and dots

regal cipher
#

my turn for smashing my face in the keyboard.

#

okay let me go back to cloudsave off like when you were able to join

#

okay am in

acoustic condor
#

Joined, I'm in but all I can see is the world and my bow

#

And your name plate and shield this time

regal cipher
#

okay go ahead and leave and then toss your log in here. I'll do the same

mossy dome
#

You guys are still testing on Steam Cloud, right?

regal cipher
regal cipher
mossy dome
#

Yeah, I'm fairly certain there isn't an issue with the save file itself

#

But perhaps cloud interaction

acoustic condor
mossy dome
#

Can you guys attempt the following? Can you both copy your Cloud Save File to your Local Enshrouded Save Folder (C:\Users\<ID>\Saved Games\Enshrouded) and attempt to join each other with Steam Cloud turned OFF on both accounts?

regal cipher
#

absolutely.

mossy dome
#

Sorry to have you guys go through this

regal cipher
mossy dome
#

And understand that doing this helps us a lot

acoustic condor
#

Been a minute since I've gone this in depth, mind walking me through which file you need me to copy?

#

And also, if it saves anyone else from going through this then happy to help

regal cipher
mossy dome
#

yes

#

very important

#

make backups

acoustic condor
#

Backup saved to desktop

regal cipher
#

then copy the entire contents of the remote folder to users\saved games\enshrouded

mossy dome
#

You might have to create the folder

#

if you do, name it exactly Enshrouded

acoustic condor
#

6Okay, copied

regal cipher
#

once you have done that, go into steam library, right click on enshrouded and go to properties and under the general tab, toggle the steam cloud option to off

mossy dome
#

It's important that you don't copy the "Remote" folder itself into "Enshrouded" - rather, that the contents of the folder "Remote" go into "Enshrouded"

acoustic condor
#

Copierd the contents

#

Copied sorry

regal cipher
acoustic condor
#

Just realized I probably should have backed up the enshrouded folder too

regal cipher
#

eep, was there stuff in there?

acoustic condor
#

3 entries

regal cipher
#

ah probably nothing - or a very very old something

acoustic condor
#

2 were replaced by the remote contents so they were the same

#

Dunno what that 3rd one was, hopefully nothing important

regal cipher
#

settings file

acoustic condor
#

Ah that's nothing major

regal cipher
#

it was probably a very old world save, character save and settings file. 😄

#

from like... april of last year of before likely.

acoustic condor
#

I've only been playing for a few days lol

regal cipher
#

oh. strange it had anything in there.

#

OH wait no, didn;t I have you turn cloudsave off at one point and make a character?

acoustic condor
#

You did

regal cipher
#

ah, it was that 🙂

#

okay with cloud save turned off, go ahead and try to join.

acoustic condor
#

Had to join through server list, steam not giving the option to join game with cloud off

#

Same thing though only a loading screen

regal cipher
mossy dome
#

allright

#

I still would like to have your logs, please

regal cipher
#

Every failure is something else crossed off the list of possibilities.

#

lol - you get a minidump with this one, crashed on exit with a minidump this time.

📎 enshrouded.log
#

probably from closing the game to desktop with someone trying to connect.

#

wait a second

#

It saw you there. no where else, though

image.png
acoustic condor
#

Small problem, file size is too big

regal cipher
mossy dome
#

the log file is too big?

acoustic condor
#

Yes, 238,232 kb discord only allows for 100 unless I upgrade

#

KB rather

mossy dome
#

what the hell

#

ok, we need your log now

#

do you have google drive?

regal cipher
#

absolutely.

mossy dome
#

mama please send me your crash dump too

acoustic condor
#

I can set one up

mossy dome
#

If you have a google account, you have Google Drive

regal cipher
mossy dome
#

If you don't, that's ok, we can find an alternative

#

no need to make a google account

acoustic condor
#

I do, it's just empty on my home account

#

I created a folder and am adding the log, it's taking a minute though

mossy dome
#

That's ok. Please do the following:

  1. Open Google Drive
  2. Just drag and drop the log in there
  3. Right click on it and select "Share", then "Share" again. It should open a new window
  4. Under "General Access" select please "Limited" so a dropdown menu appears. Select "anyone with the link" there
  5. Copy the link and send it here
acoustic condor
mossy dome
#

for context

#

it is VERY unusual for a log file to have this size for just a few minutes of gameplay

regal cipher
#

holy... that is a LOT of errors

acoustic condor
#

Oh it was definitely smaller before adding the remote contents and trying cloud save off

regal cipher
#

all the same error
[online] Could not allocate network packet, because requested size(2250) exceeds the maximum(2048)!

mossy dome
#

It was printing this error for every in-game tick

#

ok, good, PROGRESS

regal cipher
#

with a few
[graphics] Failed to allocate download buffer memory.
for good neasure

acoustic condor
#

Yeah....That's not concerning AT all

regal cipher
#

lol the failed to allocate download memory buffer is a pretty common error.

#

even my game throws it from time to time, generally not something to worry about in small amounts from what I have noticed.

acoustic condor
#

More the could not allocate network packet errors

regal cipher
#

it's good though - the error gives direction. Now what direction that is... no idea. As I said... last thing I learned about networking was when novell was still a viable networking software.

#

🤣

mossy dome
#

ok so

acoustic condor
#

True enough, all data is potentially good data

mossy dome
#

good news is that this has put us in a promising track

acoustic condor
mossy dome
#

bad news is that it's an ugly error

acoustic condor
#

There it is lol

mossy dome
#

ok uh

#

Here's the ish:

#

The issue as to why we had the package losses and why you are not able to join is because, for some reason, the packages being sent are too big. That's what this means:
[online] Could not allocate network packet, because requested size(2250) exceeds the maximum(2048)
So Silent not only has excellent packages, they are massive as well

#

That's why we were having the package loss hints before

regal cipher
#

you just made me choke.

mossy dome
#

because they were NOT being sent and those counted as lost packages

#

Silent, it's important to know if you are using any sort of 3rd party software, or mods, or anything that could potentially change the game in any shape or form. It's not only about cheats now

regal cipher
#

Do you know how difficult it is not to guffaw loudly when you let out a huge belly laugh?

acoustic condor
acoustic condor
regal cipher
mossy dome
#

Does Armoury Crate mess up with games or something?

acoustic condor
#

No, Gigabyte control center

mossy dome
#

Windows 11?

acoustic condor
#

Windows 11 pro

regal cipher
acoustic condor
regal cipher
#

system configuration, driver stuff. a whole bunch of stuff. it's basically a control center for ASUS systems

acoustic condor
#

Just set the pretty lights to cycle through colors is all

mossy dome
#

So here's where we are at:

  1. We found out that the issue is that Silent's game, for some reason, is sending packages that are too large for what we allow when he enters specific worlds.
  2. Silent claims there is no game tampering at all
  3. The saves themselves seem to be ok since we tested here and it worked, and Silent tested with his buddy on the laptop and it worked. (right?)
regal cipher
#
  1. he was able to connect on this computer with said buddy before the patch yesterday.
acoustic condor
#

Haven't tested on the laptop, I wiped that clean the other day

#

Was able to connect with no issues on it a couple days ago before I wiped it and I was able to connect on this build until the latest patch

mossy dome
#

Let's just get a few things off the list, as well, just in case.

Are you using a VPN or something of the sort?
Are you using WIFI or Ethernet Cable?
Is your modem a normal-arse one or does it have any special functions?

acoustic condor
#

No VPN, I'm currently hardwired with Ethernet cable and the modem itself has built in Wi-Fi but otherwise pretty standard to my knowledge

mossy dome
#

ok, give me a moment

acoustic condor
#

For reference this is the modem I'm using

mossy dome
#

ok this is a stupid idea

#

but

#

I gotta try the bottom of the barrel stuff too

#

Silent, can you like, reboot your modem? Turn it off, leave it off for like 5 or 10 minutes, turn it on again, and have Kira host a session again and try to join it again

#

dunno if you have tried that already

acoustic condor
#

We haven't tried that yet, I can give it a go

#

I'll be back in 5

mossy dome
#

@regal cipher it's the big old save that caused the issue, right

#

not the new world

regal cipher
mossy dome
#

Wasn't there some situation that he could join?

regal cipher
#

That, like a moron, I just overwrote with my cloud save files xD

acoustic condor
#

I'm back

mossy dome
#

Mama, would you be so kind to host the world again?

#

And have Silent try to join

regal cipher
#

Absolutely

regal cipher
mossy dome
#

the one that caused issue

regal cipher
#

I'm in

acoustic condor
#

Loading screen

#

Nothing

regal cipher
acoustic condor
#

Yes, All my drivers are current

mossy dome
#

you know it's a fun friday when I got like 7 people trying to reproduce the issue

regal cipher
acoustic condor
#

I don't do anything in half measures, if I'm going to be a problem I'm going to be the WHOLE problem lol

acoustic condor
regal cipher
#

Do people even have those anymore? I don't even know anymore xD

#

I was thinking if there was a way we could try to connect without going through your router, it could eliminate or narrow down a few issues.

acoustic condor
#

Good question, I haven't had any need for one in longer than I can remember

regal cipher
#

Just looking into it - you may be able to turn your phone into a mobile hotspot

mossy dome
#

ok guys, just for comparison sake and because I am getting a bit desperate

#

can you do the thing again where Mama Kira makes a world that Silent can join and send me the logs of the successful joining?

regal cipher
#

I'm in

acoustic condor
#

I'm sorta in

regal cipher
#

He's running around in his underwear.

#

😉

#

I guess extremely large excellent packages make wearing armor difficult.

acoustic condor
#

On my screen I'm unable to move, no items showing in hud or back pack and can't see my character

acoustic condor
regal cipher
#

okay. Go ahead and pop out and put your log in here. I will do the same

acoustic condor
#

Think it's going to be too large again

regal cipher
acoustic condor
#

261,734 KB

#

Deleting the old log from drive and uploading the new one, I;ll share the link in a sec

mossy dome
#

oh fuckin hell

acoustic condor
mossy dome
#

the same error weirdly enough

#

even though you guys managed to enter

acoustic condor
#

Yes, but I wasn't able to move or see anything but the world

topaz scaffold
#

Sorry for the sudden, I don't understand English.
I am using deepl translations.

I have been looking at this for a long time because I have similar symptoms.
I can enter private, but when I join the server, the loading screen is a symptom that does not end.
My logs don't have [Client] Initialize 'SyncCharacterSaveGame' done compared to the logs of those who have successfully loaded.
Can this help with anything?

mossy dome
#

@acoustic condor Do you have your Graphic Settings set up to max because it's a new PC?

mossy dome
#

The "requested size" number may differ from your actual size.

#

Please let me know if something is not translated correctly in Japanese. I can try to explain with different words.

@regal cipher are you still around

mossy dome
regal cipher
acoustic condor
#

Can you believe we've been at this for almost 10 hours now Mama Kira?

mossy dome
#

we're really grasping at straws here

#

oof

regal cipher
#

I'm emotionally invested at this point

mossy dome
#

I'm not, I'm emotionally stunted by now

acoustic condor
#

Not going to lie, I'm exhausted but far to invested to sleep now

mossy dome
#

No, please, do go to sleep

#

I don't think we have anything substantial to add

#

It sucks a lot that we can't reproduce locally. We have all of our debug tools here but as long as we can't reproduce the issue, we can't use them.

acoustic condor
#

With that said, if I host a game and you or one of your colleagues attempts to join and fails would that be of any help with debugging?

mossy dome

yknow what, let's try that right now

do you have steam cloud on right now, Wolf?

Ok, so for better or for worse, it's not an OS issue.
That's one thing off the list.

mossy dome
#

I have not, no

how tired are you

acoustic condor
#

Not tired enough where I won't stick around and ride this out

mossy dome
#

We're gonna go in a special mission

acoustic condor

Let's do it

mossy dome
#

sent you a few Steam DMs

#

@topaz scaffold I would have another question - when did you start playing? Was it after the Update we released with Voice Chat and Text Chat? Or are you playing for a long while now?

topaz scaffold
#

That's from February 7, 2025.

acoustic condor
#

@mossy dome do you have some sort of survey? I feel like you've definetly earned some praise

No argument here

Also, found out why I was in undies, apparently I got a bunch of twitch drops when I joined your game that I lost after leaving lol

Your patience is above and beyond. Frankly when something goes wrong on my system I turn into a stress-demon. My hubby and I actually have a deal that when something goes wrong on our systems, we take over and fix it for each other so we don't die early from stress.

Are you aware of people having to set up Firewall + router to connect?

My Girlfriend left for work and was laughing because I went IT mode to try and fix it

The firewall was suspicious.
I checked and it was in the exclusion settings.

I usually tag in Tain or Maze for that stuff

Here is the problem, in its entirety -

  1. We pushed a new Steam API for Update 5 (The one with Voice Chat and Text Chat)
  2. It has better connectivity and runs through Steam and not P2P, but caused lagging issues for several players
  3. For the patch, we decided to revert this change to the old API, which goes back to using P2P
  4. This means that the Update 5 started to work for people who had issues with P2P, but with the revert, they now are back to having these issues

How to set up dedicated server

#

With this set up, you guys should be able to set up a game and play again

#

With the previous update, this was no longer necessary, but due to issues we had to revert this

#

So they need to set up a dedicated server on their system?

mossy dome
#

Basically yes

regal cipher
#

or just set up the port forwarding?

mossy dome
#

That could also work, I think

#

I have a server built this way on another PC in the local network.

#

It is the same symptom on my server and on other servers on the list.
I understand the current status of 1-4.

#

Ports 15637 and 15637 are port forwarded to Server

#

I've even connected to a Server on the list by port-forwarding to ClientPC, suspecting the port.
The result was no good.

Hi all, just found a workaround solution, at least working from our side, join game with VPN
Not sure if it is related to networking / node / proxy those kind of things, not familiar to networking

Hey there, just a small sign-off from my end:
If there are any issues with entering other people's worlds, please seek help under #server-support . It is a sad state of affairs but we are hoping to get the old Steam API up as soon as possible.

Thank you for the patience everyone.

@acoustic condor @inner citrus @silent canopy @topaz scaffold Okay - so after a "good" nights sleep of 4 hours (lol) I started looking into ways that you guys can fix P2P issues.

Causes/fixes for P2P issues:

  • Having a strict NAT - Try enabling UPnP on your router should help with issues like this, and should be generally safe as long as you have a strong Wifi Password.
  • If you have a separate modem and router, make sure NAT is not enabled on both of them and that your modem is in bridge mode so that your router is handling NAT
  • Check your/their firewall - Firewalls can block P2P connections. You can test if this is the issue by turning off each of your firewalls and seeing if it works. I would do this separately at first, and if you still have issues try doing both at the same time. If one or both of them are causing issues, you can add exceptions in your firewalls for Steam as well as Enshrouded to prevent this. If the issue is with connecting to a server and not a hosted game, you only have to do this for yourself.
  • If you are using a VPN, try turning it off to see if this fixes the issue, as VPN's can cause issues with P2P traffic.
  • Knowing the above statement has been said... If you aren't using a VPN, @inner citrus was able to fix their issue by using a VPN. There are several VPN's you can try for free to see if it helps resolve your issue.
