What happens when you join the server? Does it kick you out?

fathom flame
#

when it shows its down

#

i cant join

#

when its show its up

#

i can

#

i got on server 1 gb upload download

lofty wigeon
#

I meant that, when you are logged in the server

#

Does it kick you out while playing

fathom flame
#

nopw

lofty wigeon
#

Unusual, what is the server IP? How often does it go down?

fathom flame
#

93.95.119.164

#

you can see by your self how often it goes

#

like it's up for 8-10 s

#

then down for next 8-10 s

#

and now it's down

#

when i can see that server is running on vm

lofty wigeon
#

I see, this seems like a query issue on the network

#

How are you hosting the server exactly? Are you using some sort of service?

fathom flame
fathom flame
#

wait i guess somebody just ddos me

#

lmao

#

but bots are working

#

spiffo server is launcher for zomboid server

lofty wigeon
#

Bots do not need a constant connection to be marked as online

#

You might want to look into that ddos before we test further

fathom flame
#

last attack

#

so no

#

other ip's works

#

just that one don't work

lofty wigeon
#

By other IPs do you mean other Zomboid servers?

fathom flame
#

other from my network

#

93.95.119.x

#

i got full /24

#

before hosting on vps

#

i host it on ptherodactyl

#

it's linux based

lofty wigeon
#

So this is your only Zomboid server

fathom flame
#

and it worked good ngl

#

yeah

lofty wigeon
#

Okay, have you looked into it being a Pterodactyl issue in that case?

fathom flame
lofty wigeon
#

Since the best way to find issues is to just go through the problems one by one

#

Does the server work fine on bare metal

fathom flame
#

now i host on virtual machine

#

with windows

#

and there is a problem as you can see

lofty wigeon
#

That is a clue then, what sort of Virtual machine do you have

#

And how did you install the server exactly

#

Did you use any sort of script?

fathom flame
#

i used that

#

and after install

#

i use that as launcher

fathom flame
lofty wigeon
#

I see, have you tried not using the bot?

#

To check for that being an issue

fathom flame
#

yeah, but can check once more

lofty wigeon
#

Also, have you used Sudo during install?

#

Since if you launch an app or install through Sudo, it can mess with the permissions

#

So it also depends on how you launch the server.sh

fathom flame
#

this is a windows so i just run it as administrator

lofty wigeon
#

I see, I got it mixed up when you mentioned you had a Linux machine

fathom flame
#

yeah no worries

#

i got it before

#

and on linux there was no issues

lofty wigeon
#

Are the two ports open in the firewall then? Both 16261 and 16262 UDP are necessary

#

And additionally, I assume Proxmox also has a port forwarding setting, right?

fathom flame
#

yup

fathom flame
fathom flame
#

wait i just launch it without bot and it's seems like something change from the past...

lofty wigeon
#

So it is open in the router, then in the proxmox firewall and lastly in the Windows firewall

fathom flame
#

it work

fathom flame
fathom flame
#

it goes down agine

lofty wigeon
#

Here is the thing, the server itself does not go down

#

Because you said yourself, once you connect, you can play just fine, right?

#

Meaning the server is running just fine

#

The thing that goes down is the query that checks for the status of the server

fathom flame
fathom flame
#

but now it's show as down

#

and cant join

lofty wigeon
#

I generally recommend using two rules instead of a single rule for two ports

fathom flame
#

okay

lofty wigeon
#

Since I saw some routers not handle multiple rules well

#

Should be fine on Windows, but its just something to test

fathom flame
#

btw in both ?

lofty wigeon
#

I think it depends on the security settings, in your case I would probably do both

fathom flame
#

because not so sure about that and i put it in both

lofty wigeon
#

But generally, only incoming is necessary

#

Outbound should basically always be open anyway

fathom flame
#

yeah - so i changed it and applied

#

will restart server

#

or should i whole vm?

lofty wigeon
#

You can just do the whole VM

#

Do you have any other apps running on it? Or is is just a standard Windows Server install

fathom flame
#

and i run 2 dc bots

#

one count players on server

lofty wigeon
#

Also, does the Proxmox config differ from the one when you had the Linux server?

fathom flame
#

second one is just chat clenaer

lofty wigeon
#

Since we can compare it to that

fathom flame
lofty wigeon
#

Just to understand better, you set up a PZ server on Linux, opened all the ports, set up proxmox and all that, and it worked fine

#

But then you switched it to Linux, kept the old config, and now it fails?

fathom flame
lofty wigeon
#

Would the old Proxmox config work on the new Windows server? Are there not any OS specific settings that may need to be applied there?

fathom flame
#

proxmox settings is same for pterodactyl and vm

#

it's works for everthing else. Like I can host minecraft -it works, i can host fivem, mta:sa

#

only issue got zomboid

lofty wigeon
#

I would probably recommend doing a temporary test by disabling the firewall on the Proxmox, see if that helps. Then I would do the same test by disabling the Firewall on Windows. Just to see if it suddenly starts working. This way we can test if its the firewall messing with the query

#

Yes, none of those games use the SteamQuery

#

Meaning it would not be related to the issue

fathom flame
#

no firewall

#

in windows

#

proxmox

#

mikrotik

#

still same shit

lofty wigeon
#

Hm, well that doesnt make much sense to me.. so the only difference is that you use Windows instead of Linux

#

Is the Windows up to date?

fathom flame
#

Newest install of windows server 2022

lofty wigeon
#

I might recommend reinstalling Windows in that case

#

Since it seems to be the only thing that points to the issue

#

Also try reinstalling the server without admin permissions, just whatever the standard user is for Windows

fathom flame
#

But default windows server user is admin

lofty wigeon
#

Yes, but you specified that you are launching the game with admin permissions

#

Which means you specifically have to rightclick > Launch as admin

fathom flame
#

Yeah that’s fact

lofty wigeon
#

I am not sure whether that may or may not cause issues, I do not know if the Windows server has any extra security settings or not

#

One of my own servers has Windows Server 2018 I believe and it works fine there

#

I do not launch it as Admin though, never tried to

fathom flame
#

what about no steam launch?

lofty wigeon
#

What about it?

fathom flame
#

could it solve issue?

lofty wigeon
#

Do you want to run a nonsteam server?

fathom flame
#

Why not?

#

It’s my private server for friends

lofty wigeon
#

Well, modding is not the best on it

#

Since you have to manually install mods, you cannot use the Steam workshop

#

And people have to use the -nosteam parameter to be able to join
