Do you have your own router fur such as mesh wifi? In which case you likely have whats called Double NAT meaning you have to forward ports from the router provided by your ISP to your own Router and from that to your machine running the dedicated server.

#

I see from the logs that you run on identical hardware as I do 32GB RAM, Ryzen 9 5900X and 3080Ti, this is your gaming rig? If your going to run everything at ultra just be aware that you will be getting some weird crashes and performance is identical or even lower than running multiplayer, I assume you wanted to not have to deal with the crazy micro stuttering that comes with running multiplayer. I have tried running dedicated on my own machine for some testing but quickly found out that it was such a hassle and not to mention Dedicated+Game meaning you have absolutely zero ram left over meaning you open chrome and it is likely to instantly crash either server or game or both.

I also tried running it on a VM on my own machine as well as through Linux subsystem for windows.

You need to unpack a ton of information because trying to troubleshoot intermittent issues are on a good day at best extremely hard, without any information close to impossible and only guesstimates.

So you say you can connect no problem, under what circumstances is this? When server is empty, just restarted?
And when you are not able to connect, are there other players already connected? Are other players also having same trouble?

I haven't touched the ufw on the machine, here's the cat

` GNU nano 4.8

/etc/default/ufw

Set to yes to apply rules to support IPv6 (no means only IPv6 on loopback

accepted). You will need to 'disable' and then 'enable' the firewall for

the changes to take affect.

IPV6=yes

Set the default input policy to ACCEPT, DROP, or REJECT. Please note that if

you change this you will most likely want to adjust your rules.

DEFAULT_INPUT_POLICY="DROP"

Set the default output policy to ACCEPT, DROP, or REJECT. Please note that if

you change this you will most likely want to adjust your rules.

DEFAULT_OUTPUT_POLICY="ACCEPT"

Set the default forward policy to ACCEPT, DROP or REJECT. Please note that

if you change this you will most likely want to adjust your rules

DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="DROP"

Set the default application policy to ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT or SKIP. Please

note that setting this to ACCEPT may be a security risk. See 'man ufw' for

details

DEFAULT_APPLICATION_POLICY="SKIP"

By default, ufw only touches its own chains. Set this to 'yes' to have ufw

manage the built-in chains too. Warning: setting this to 'yes' will break

non-ufw managed firewall rules

MANAGE_BUILTINS=no

IPT backend

only enable if using iptables backend

IPT_SYSCTL=/etc/ufw/sysctl.conf

Extra connection tracking modules to load. IPT_MODULES should typically be

empty for new installations and modules added only as needed. See

'CONNECTION HELPERS' from 'man ufw-framework' for details. Complete list can

be found in net/netfilter/Kconfig of your kernel source. Some common modules:

nf_conntrack_irc, nf_nat_irc: DCC (Direct Client to Client) support

nf_conntrack_netbios_ns: NetBIOS (samba) client support

nf_conntrack_pptp, nf_nat_pptp: PPTP over stateful firewall/NAT

nf_conntrack_ftp, nf_nat_ftp: active FTP support

It connects, eventually, but it does have problems both while empty, or while one other is connected. A restarted server doesn't change much, from what I can tell. I'm just not sure about what's going on at all, other than inconsistent connectivity issues. Sometimes it'll just say "the server appears to be offline" and just won't let me even try to reconnect.

That being said I do not think that this is a client issue at all but rather a hosting issue, are you using a Game Hosting Service that gives you a web portal, or a traditional VPS where you remote control the server and set it up yourself? And because this is intermittent I am leaning towards you are running on a service that is so heavily overloaded that it it unable to cope with the demand on the host system, does the server ever crash or you guys just randomly not able to connect to the server?

#

i just never seen that high of ram usage on a server for how little was actually happening on it, im not sure if maybe the game just has a very high ram usage idling point or if there is maybe a small memory leak in the dedicated server, ill leave it running for a day or so and see what it climbs to

the way it works is when you first start the server and not the instance usage around 4Gb once you start the instance (map being loaded usually happens when a player joins the server) ram usage should be around 9-10GB of ram and it could increase to around 11-12GB of ram

#

if you hosting on windows the reason you see drop is because of page files as windows automatically caches that info and you might see the ram usage drop... but if you dont have around 10GB of ram for loading in the map at startup thats when the server crashes and wont load the map and that what some people in here report sometimes

This will delete all server settings relating to passwords, server name, and session name, and you will be asked for a new Administrator password when connecting as when the server was first set up.

It removes the vast majority of the client cpu load, so if you have a manycore chip with 32 gigs or greater of ram it shouldn't be an issue

crimson crane so you are really gonna have to run in on a dedicated machine, not your game mac...

In practice yes, otherwise you need a hefty amount of RAM, anything below 32GB and it'll just randomly crash if you attempt to also game on same machine.

#

so you need then at least 48 or 64GB ram.

mind you that as long as server is running its going to hog 1 core at 100% and 10-20GB RAM 24/7 so take that into account if you want to run it on your gaming machine.

whats network bandwidth requirements like (though I run 1G so not likely to be a problem)

fading quarry Mar 5, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

by default its limited to 0.3Mbit but you should tweak it, especially once the save gets larger or your going to have to deal with severe desync and lag.

crimson crane Mar 5, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

oh..thats not much at all. crank dat bish up

fading quarry Mar 5, 2023, 4:40 PM

#

dedicated can be bumped up to 800Mbit, but in reality no client will ever consume more than 3Mbit from all my testing and now probably hundreds of hours of configuration and tweaking, at this point i keep using more time on the server than playing LOL

#

I see clients use 10-12Mbit just as they connect but they never go above 3Mbit while playing.

crimson crane Mar 5, 2023, 4:41 PM

#

I was thinking 1.5 should cover everything you are likely to ever need, synch wise

#

but even at 3 its negligible

fading quarry Mar 5, 2023, 4:42 PM

server uses a pool so multiply 1.5Mbit per client connected

Are you hosting form your own network or a hosting service? You said you had not been playing for a while, perhaps you have gotten a new public IP address, its not all that common to have a static public IP on residential connections unless you pay for it as a addon service.

fading quarry Mar 5, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

whatismyip dot com

#

have them try connect to the ip that that site gives you

#

if that is what they are already trying to do it is likely its your machine on your local network that have a new internal IP and you need to change the port forwarding accordingly

alpine acorn Mar 5, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

i tried that it gave me an ipv6 address and friends still get the same server appears to be offline

fading quarry Mar 5, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

iirc ipv6 wont work at all

#

so you might need to contact your isp and buy a ipv4 address as a addon service

#

or use a VPN provider that gives you port forwarding but that is a whole other ballgame when it comes to configuration.

#

as for obtaining ipv4 most internet service providers have this as self service option on their site, so you can check that first.

alpine acorn Mar 5, 2023, 5:53 PM

I can't even use the quit command to exit gracefully. Someone suggested that the install might be missing a dependency (even though the wiki doesn't list one), and suggested I install DX11, but it still won't start even with that.
I tried firing up on Linux, and had similar issues with it failing to start, so it seems that the wiki is wrong/incomplete. Anyone have any idea what is missing?

So, what I'm getting from this is that:
A The documentation is incomplete.
B The logs either don't show what's wrong, or no one here knows how to read them?
C No one knows why this server won't start up via four different installs now.

I'm inclined to chalk it up to misconfiguration at this point, although you seem quite knowledgeable so that seems unlikely

#

Because the server works for thousands of others

1 - Network setup should have no bearing on the server starting up or not.

The lack of config files and the fact that it stops exactly where they would normally be generated suggests that that is a potential cause of the crash

All of the following, at least.

On every single install, there's been half a dozen red errors in the logs.

#

Missing file, can't find file, etc. Given that I've installed it like 6x though, and they've all had it, I'm relatively confident that it's either a lack of proper instructions, or a bad install.

...given that it's done it over half a dozen times, instructions are the only thing I can figure.

Alright, I think I've figured it out. It appears that Satisfactory is super picky about port forwarding, and talking to big brother - that or it was AMP installing a prereq that resolved things - one of the two.
I fired it up via AMP and portforwarded to it, and I was able to connect to it. I shouldn't have had to portforward to it though, as I was accessing via LAN.

#

I suspect that even if you're configuring for LAN-only (testing in my case), you still have to port forward, so it can talk to big bro.

Hi all, I suspect I'm about to ask questions the likes of which this channel has seen many times already, but here goes... I've been trying to set up a dedicated server (on a dedicated OVH cloud machine, so in theory no port forwarding required, running ubuntu 20.04) for the better part of a couple hours now and I'm at my wits end! There are a few warnings/errors in the console that I've tried to fix without much effect:

LogSteamShared: Warning: Steam Dedicated Server API failed to initialize.
LogOnline: STEAM: [AppId: 0] Game Server API initialized 0
LogOnline: Warning: STEAM: Failed to initialize Steam, this could be due to a Steam server and client running on the same machine. Try running with -NOSTEAM on the cmdline to disable.
LogOnline: Display: STEAM: OnlineSubsystemSteam::Shutdown()
LogOnline: Warning: STEAM: Steam API failed to initialize!

Interestingly, launching FactoryServer.sh with -NOSTEAM doesn't actually change anything, I still get the error.
I've confirmed that the appropriate ports on my firewall are open, but to no avail.

Logs are attached.

Am I likely to have success hosting on linux, or are my efforts in vain?

📎 satisfactory_ds.log

#

Should also add that there were a few shared libraries that the server didn't know how to find. I worked around this by creating symbolic links to what I assumed to be the correct libraries, but given the logs, I suspect this didn't work!

This is what my server did, and I couldn't find a fix.

#

Ended, up just renting one

narrow mountain Mar 8, 2023, 12:29 AM

#

Well that's not good

#

Is there no way of debugging? No logs anywhere to look at?

#

The networking in this game seems to be very flaky, I have an extra level of NAT on my network and I can neither host nor join games unless I bypass it. It really is a bit odd. I'm guessing unreal has it's own reliable delivery mechanisms on top of UDP and that's probably messing with it.

fading quarry Mar 8, 2023, 12:40 AM

#

Double NAT is quite common, I have had double NAT for the past 20 years as I refuse to use the absolute garbage that ISP's tend to sent out to their customers.

#

That said I just put my private router in DMZ on the router that is provided by ISP that way I dont have to deal having to setup port forwarding in two routers, even tho I have had to do so in the past since that is something routers only started to support in the past 10 years or so.

#

Have you tried using the -DisablePacketRouting argument? Little information what it actually does so not sure if it would help you.

narrow mountain Mar 8, 2023, 12:45 AM

#

Should note that I'm not running a real router OS like pfsense or somesuch, it's just bodged it together with iptables

#

So that may have something to do with it!

#

I actually tried that, based on some of the warnings

#

"can't use packet routing with multihome"

#

But the warning remained regardless of whether I passed that argument or not

#

The -NOSTEAM argument was similar, seemed to get those warning regardless

fading quarry Mar 8, 2023, 12:46 AM

#

I think its more meant if you run two instances of satisfactory dedicated server, but I could be wrong.

#

-DisablePacketRouting that is.

#

But yea double NAT can most definitely be painful to debug when things are not working as they should, especially the cheap stuff that they give us that has no logging capability what so ever, I just tested here by doing port forwarding between both my routers instead of using DMZ and its working just fine tho.

narrow mountain Mar 8, 2023, 12:58 AM

#

I've plugged the PC I'm running on into the home router directly, bypassing my NAT, so I'm not sure it's that

Any particular reason you use multihome argument? I cant find the information right now but I only believe you need to use that if your hosting multiple sessions on same host.

#

And people do report server just crashing if you attempt binding it to your public IP (and by looking at the logs that seems to be the case, unless you just use that IP internally)

narrow mountain Mar 8, 2023, 1:53 AM

#

It was just one of the several things I experimented with

#

I just assumed it would allow me to bind a specific address. Not sure what the name "multi home" means to be honest. The machine I'm trying to use this on is a dedicated server with a public IP, so no NAT there.

fading quarry Mar 8, 2023, 2:02 AM

#

More importantly tho, is the server unavailable? Is it crashing? You only mentioned having some errors and warnings, and only thing that i could see in the logs was the first and last line that was questionable.

narrow mountain Mar 8, 2023, 2:03 AM

#

Nope, no crashes, it just sits there as if nothing is happening.

#

When I add it to the server browser in the game, I get "the server appears to be offline" with no further information.

#

It's a little suspicious to me actually, the "server appears to be offline" happens immediately, regardless of whether the ports are open or not.

fading quarry Mar 8, 2023, 2:05 AM

Unfortunately I have never attempted to expose my server directly the way you describe so I cant give any insight on that, otherwise i would ask if you can connect to it using the intenal IP

narrow mountain Mar 8, 2023, 2:05 AM

Public IP itself should not be the issue you are having, are you running UFW on your server? If so could you show the config for it? If not I would like to see your iptable configuration for 15000, 15777 and 7777.

That is a bit scary to me... wonder if it is a Unreal Engine thing, or a Satisfactory thing. I don't know enough about either to say for sure.

narrow mountain Mar 8, 2023, 2:05 PM

#

My assumption is that unreal has its own reliable delivery and/or sessioning protocol implemented on top of UDP. It's likely that when nmap sends messages to the port looking for running services, it breaks the contract of that protocol in such a way that it crashes the server.

#

Bit sketchy, but it's not that surprising

@fading quarry Well, I am a dumbass:

apparently no need at all, ok
but I'm still worried a bit about security

brisk cobalt Mar 11, 2023, 7:00 AM

Why would you need transport encryption on a game server?

deep turret Mar 11, 2023, 7:00 AM

to prevent password spoofing mainly

and prevent some people from breaking down your server as they wish

brisk cobalt Mar 11, 2023, 7:01 AM

That's... Not really something transport encryption will do anything about

it permits connection authentication basically

if you really dont want to discusse security with me, then stop trying to say it's not needed arbitrarly ?

brisk cobalt Mar 11, 2023, 7:15 AM

No need to get defensive

Just letting you know that ain't on any development roadmap, feature list, or documentation coffee stain has released, and with dedicated servers still in early development it ain't likely to be a priority yet.

deep turret Mar 11, 2023, 7:19 AM

#

not being a priority is one thing, not being a concern at all is an other thing
it is not only a matter of protecting the game server (if somehow destroy your save, well is that very a life concern, certainly not)

but it s a matter of protecting the user
if the game permit password leaks easily, then the person using the game may have all their important not game accounts hacked, and that's a problem
the easy fix is to warn people that the password is not safely stored when they set it up

if security for dedicated server itself is not a concern :
then, applying a strong hash to password, as it is typed in the game from client before sending it to any other component (mainly dedicated servers)
may be enough for security

Hi there, my friends and I are having some troubles with a dedicated server (from NitroServer on the last EarlyAccess version with only RAM 10Gb) - those issues are about crashes and unavailability to retrieve our previous body and stuff. Moreover, the previous body is unkillable (in many way). Do you think the missing 2Gb of RAM (between the dedicated server configuration and the min configuration) could be the origin of those issues or is it about the game only ?

Hello, I am trying to use the Dedicated Server app in Steam and it just doesn't load. A text file pops up with a bunch of errors. I've looked at the text file and it appears to be searching for things it can't find and at least part of the reason is it seems to be searching in the directory \Game\FactoryGame instead of AppData\Local\FactoryGame. Anyone else seen something like this?

the address and port depends on how you configured the host, it doesn't depend on the dedicated server
you can setup the dedicated ports with arguments listed in the fandom link
for the address it's completely host dependent

it really looks like not enough ram to me
the server really does load a raw 10+GB in RAM when the game is launched

#

if it can't load it, it can't process the game

#

a safe minimum really is 12GB of RAM on headless machine if possible

#

you may try working around with increasing swap files
but it's not recommended though

if you have 7GB free memory
it needs at least 4GB of swap file

Hey everybody, we got some problems with player crashes and reconnecting. If a client crashes and instantly reconnect to the server, a new character will be created and - if the player dies, no marker will be created with the lootbox position. Is there any way to reconnect to the old character?

How do servers do late into the game? Such as tiers 7/8?

supple egret Mar 12, 2023, 1:55 PM

if a player crashes, best to have them wait for their char to time-out

I have a friend who hosts a dedicated server for me, but he hasn't the game himself. I can't connect " Server name pending" "NotAuthenticated" Do you have to own the game to host a server?

deep turret Mar 12, 2023, 7:51 PM

#

dedicated server can be installed through unlogged steamcmd
so basically : no you don't need the game to host
but you can't control the server without the game though

languid ether Mar 12, 2023, 7:52 PM

it should show a prompt to claim the server first

if you skipped it you may restart your game to reconnect and have the prompt again

languid ether Mar 12, 2023, 7:54 PM

yup. i own the game. but after i add his ip it's says offline, server name pending, notautheticated

deep turret Mar 12, 2023, 7:54 PM

You need to claim the server through server manager

languid ether Mar 12, 2023, 7:55 PM

#

no prompt. I have an red exclamation triangle beside server manager

languid ether Mar 12, 2023, 7:55 PM

desert walrus You need to claim the server through server manager

yes, im in the server manager

#

checked and it's the same game version

deep turret Mar 12, 2023, 7:57 PM

#

it only shows when you first connect to server
maybe:

delete your server from server manager
restart your game (client)
re-enter the server connection settings
upon reconnecting wait for the prompt for claiming the server, and read the message thoroughly :
it ask for a name and you to click "claim"

languid ether Mar 12, 2023, 7:58 PM

languid ether Mar 12, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

hmmm. tried everything, even tried reinstalling the server

deep turret Mar 12, 2023, 8:10 PM

#

ok so what about :

delete your server from server manager
restart your game (client)
- restart your server
wait the server to stabilize
re-enter the server connection settings
upon reconnecting wait for the prompt for claiming the server, and read the message thoroughly :
it ask for a name and you to click "claim"

#

it really should show you that prompt

#

maybe it saves you already skipped it
but idk
maybe ask somehow for how to reset server data
if it is a problem of server saving

languid ether Mar 12, 2023, 8:17 PM

Hmm, this time I crashed on the first time trying to join after a fresh restart. Previously I have managed to play for ~30 mins and had 1-2 hours uptime before crashing. I crashed so far on connecting, while playing and also while not connected (but game unpaused). The error seems similar to last time. Looks like signal 11 is also a part of it? As far as I can see there could be an ipv4 ipv6 issue with linux servers, but I think that docker image already takes care or the multihome setting which apparently fixes that...

Are there other kinds of logs or debugging I could try and enable?
I attached the tail of the docker logs, since they are more complete than the console ones were.

📎 log2.txt

fading quarry Mar 14, 2023, 1:41 AM

signal 11 as far as i know is just the flag dedicated server sends when it crashes, looking through some of my own server logs they are always 11 whenever my server crash as well.

UDP is a streaming protocol that is more suited for continuous communication between a client and server. But regardless UDP is what Satisfactory uses, you also need to do the same thing on the Virtual Machine as well.

fading quarry UDP is a streaming protocol that is more suited for continuous communication bet...

not really, I mean I will let you say 'streaming' because I don't know what you meant by that word and it may apply quite well
but for continuous communications TCP is particularly well suited
UDP is especially useful for short lived connections
here it is used for a couple of reasons
two of them are :

a game server doesn't need to send data in as reliable way so UDP is fine
as it has less data control UDP is also more optimal for latency

so for game server you don't want overhead specially latency overhead
so you use UDP

First start by explaining what problems you are encountering, then we might be able to help you sort them out 🙂

#

But generally speaking make sure to forward ports 15000, 15777 and 7777 (UDP) and open them in the firewall on the host machine, in most cases this is where most problems lie.

left barn Mar 14, 2023, 7:17 PM

#

Ok I think I have the ports forward I don't know if it'll take since I have 5 other games ports set up as 5 other services in my routers port forwarding tab, all with my computer as host so I'll check the firewall when I get home from work and go from there all I know is I set the ports, tried booting the server and it doesn't seem to have worked but I can't really tell since I don't know what port to tack onto my IP to connect

desert walrus Mar 14, 2023, 7:19 PM

If you have 5 other games, you'll want to check and make sure that they're not using the same ports as satis

if they are, you'll need to change the default ports in the config files

but that is only true for the handshake, after handshake tcp can use wide windows and in-frames windows increase if supported if I remember right

and for compatibility, instead of windows allocation UDP need heart-beats to prevent timeout

TCP require that each packet sent / received is acknowledged where as UDP this is not required, that being said it is common to have some form of acknowledgement to ensure that a packet was sent or received successfully.

the main drawback for gaming, is TCP stacking and reordering as well as this same things but in middle network (ie no client control)

Eventually once mods are compatible with dedicated server I expect a heap of mods for external monitoring but right now only way to check that is using ingame server manager that is very unreliable source to check tick rate as the mere act of checking tickrate has a large impact on tickrate itself.

fading quarry Mar 15, 2023, 1:10 PM

But server and client does not share resource pool both are basically full fat clients, only difference between client and server is that server does no rendering, and game alone often on my system itself take run around 16-20gb leaving little left over for server and considering my insane amount of browser windows that i keep open, heck between game browser and windows itself its not unheard that my game crashes because of running out of memory (32gb)

But again I am not saying you cant do it, it just 'can' become very unpractical if you hit memoy ceiling, and you have to start manage memory carefully or server / client start crashing without any sign what so ever, of what caused the crashes.

I have never seen such low numbers, only exception might be on a fresh save and freshly restarted server where no players have yet connected. But honestly I would not count this as a real scenario as this changes rapidly once you connect to it and the save grows.

Feel free to ignore any of my advice, it is just what experience I have having spent what now feels like hundreds of hours trying to host dedicated server optimally ever since dedicated became available.

So far I have tested the following:

Running server locally on my gaming rig (Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB DDR4 @ 3600MHZ CAS 14, RTX 3080Ti) and game at same time.
Running server locally on gaming rig without gaming on it. (only others connect to it)
Running server in several different hosting clouds all seemingly heavily over provisioned systems with awful experience.
Running server on my own server hardware Dell PowerEdge R610, Dual socket Xeon X5680 @ 3.33Ghz 3.6Ghz(Turbo), 192GB DD3 @ 1333Mhz, 1TB SSD
Running VMWare ESXI - VMs: Windows Server 2016, 2019, Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD
Bare metal: Windows Server 2019, Debian, Ubuntu (Currently)

All with and without Hyperthreading/SMT

There is also a great difference on the server usage before and after a user have been online on the server, the server does not seem to free all resources after a player disconnect from the server and the main thread then hangs at 70-100%.
