there's two ways, upon start of the server you can specify the port or thier is a config file in the server directory

Hi all, (first sorry for my English, isn't my native language), well, since few days I try/test hosting dedicated server to my personal server, it is a poweredge r730 with bi proc e5 2620 v3 + 128gb ram + raid5 hdd 15k rpm sas with raid perc controller h730 with 2gb r/w cache. With hypervisor proxmox, vm is debian 11 with 4 core and 24gb ram ans satisfactory run into docker contener (wolveix/satisfactory-server)

A cpu upgrade is in progress from e5 2620 v3 to 2667 v3, I read for satisfactory it is recommanded high frequency versus many core, this upgrade upgrade my cpu base frequency from 2,4ghz to 3,2ghz. I wait my order..

Fine... After this, my question , there are many freeze in-game, rollback, and I search some way to mitigate this issue, after some test tunning server config, I come here to search some help / recommandation for my server. If you need more information... 😄

By advance thank all 😄

I run a PowerEdge R610 with Xeon X5680's single thread performance is quite a bit lower than your 2667. Regardless I can run a large (lots of complexity) save with 4 players without much of performance issue however this is bare metal installation, do remember to tune network configuration on server and clients check this page: https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Multiplayer#Temporary_lag_solution

tired marsh Mar 16, 2023, 9:12 PM

Hum, I will try it , thank!! ( For the moment it is still the 2620 that is installed in the server, I received 2667 next week, I hope...)

autumn rampart Mar 17, 2023, 12:54 AM

that is the executable for the server, but the -log -unattended are parameters you use to run it; are you using steamcmd or steam to run it? Also what is r u running it on?

Hey guys,

I've followed the installation setup from the the wiki. But i still can't login to my server (or my friend)

This seems to be a problem in the log:

LogOnline: OSS: Creating online subsystem instance for: STEAM
LogGenericPlatformMisc: Error: SetEnvironmentVar not implemented for this platform: SteamAppId = 526870
LogSteamShared: Warning: Steam Dedicated Server API failed to initialize.

LogOnline: Display: STEAM: OnlineSubsystemSteam::Shutdown()
LogOnline: Warning: STEAM: Steam API failed to initialize!
LogOnline: Display: STEAM: OnlineSubsystemSteam::Shutdown()

Can someone point me in the right direction? I am using the SteamAppID for the dedicated server, but it still says 526870

This is my installation .bat file.

@echo off
steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "D:\SteamCMD"  +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit

My startup .bat file:

.\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended -NOSTEAM

Tried with or without -NOSTEAM

Ports open both in router and in the windows server:

Realized last night after getting pterodactyl set up with Satisfactory that my server doesn't have enough RAM (8GB+swap) to generate the world.

Does the server still use a lot of RAM running normally?

My thinking is to generate the save on my local PC and upload it to the server after. Would that work?

Hey all - I apologize for the beginner question but I simply cannot seem to figure out how to get a dedicated server set up and running on my personal machine. I've read the wiki a bunch, I've confirmed I have the ports forwarded and they are in fact open. However whenever I add the server now, it seems to show Server appears to be offline. I've tried using my external IP and my local IP and I get the same results (Not sure if my router is smart enough to handle the external one anyway).

I'm at a loss. Any recommendations?

#

At one point it was working to where I could set up a password and create a game, but my ports weren't forwarded properly at that time so I could never connect.

desert walrus Mar 17, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

If you're trying to join from same machine the server is on you need to use localhost

untold river Mar 17, 2023, 4:18 PM

Meaning my local 192.168.X.X IP, right? I have a static IP set up and that's what I've used. I've confirmed it is correct with ipconfig in CMD

#

Hey, I'm hoping somebody can help me with my issue. I have been trying to connect to a dedicated server (Early Access) and I keep getting a connection failed message. I am not using a strict NAT type, do I need to open ports on my router or is it likely I have some other issue?

untold river Mar 17, 2023, 4:21 PM

#

I don't think you'll need to open ports if you are connecting to someone else's server. Have you confirmed they provided you the correct external IP address (the one from googling "what is my ip")?

little bramble Mar 17, 2023, 4:25 PM

For IP you'd type either localhost or 127.0.0.1

Try turning off firewall and seeing if it works

If that fixes it you'll just need to add an exclusion rule for the server

ooh there's a dedicate server thing now.
Is it specifically always running (manual start/stop) kind or can you configure a system where it automatically activates and runs when someone tries to play and automatically turns off if nobody's logged in?
....is that even possible, really

deep turret Mar 18, 2023, 9:25 AM

#

that would be a contradiction, you need a server to serve the connection to detect if someone want to play

#

currently the server have a paused mode where it pause the game when no player are connected

#

though it's not yet super efficient

little spruce Mar 18, 2023, 9:28 AM

#

I mean I could imagine it having a little service that's just "check for connected/ing players" and only launches the actual server (game) if there is one.
I guess the game simply pausing is like a step down from that.

deep turret Mar 18, 2023, 9:29 AM

#

this service would be handled by the server itself

#

and ofcourse it's step down because it's experimental

#

the dedicated server still is almost a usual client game server but bundled in a network manager

#

I wonder if it would be possible to make a mod that unload every graphic assets from the dedicated server and such

Hello everyone. I just set up a dedicated server inside a LXC container, host and guest is Debian 11. It has 4 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM right now, seems to be totally fine from what I can see in htop. Unfortunately I'm getting a lot of crashes, server side and also client side. Also the rendering of items on belts seems to be very buggy. Besides some (seem) random crashes, I noticed a behavior when you come in range of animals too fast it will lead to a client side crash. Is there any way to make the server or also the client in multiplayer more stable?

If the level is loading it takes longer to load than the allotted timeout (30 seconds), you can change this on the client settings files. (you will especially see this on restart and if you use pause game when no players online)

you have to open connection for external connections (from internet) to you
usually you have to either open firewall or forward ports, or both

#

default port/rules are for UDP 15000 15777 7777

if you set different ports, then that's the ports you set instead

vernal vault Mar 19, 2023, 9:20 PM

I’ve had this happen many times. Only way I’ve found to actually be able to get your things back if you spawn back as a double and your previous body is revivable, is to restart the server. Running in a docker container makes this pretty easy.

tbh I could test your ports, even if I dont connect, but you would have to restart your server, because the server crash when it get foreign packets (which is a bit brittle tbh but that's how it is)

na the 19 to 23

deep turret Mar 20, 2023, 3:37 PM

I dont really get your question
the full address is X.X.X.X so it is all from 192 to the last number

#

and it changes automatically and is local

vernal vault Mar 20, 2023, 3:38 PM

#

in the ipconfig

#

we found out that it is 23 not 19

deep turret Mar 20, 2023, 3:39 PM

#

it is always the one in ipconfig even when it changes
and it is the one written "current ipv4 address" or "your pc ipv4 address" or alike, it is NOT "ipv4 gateway adress" or "router address" or "dns address"

vernal vault Mar 20, 2023, 3:40 PM

#

ah ok found it thx

deep turret Mar 20, 2023, 3:40 PM

#

the other public ip address also changes automatically but not often, and is the one for your whole local network, that is the one you must share, your router is responsible for translating it to your pc according to forwarding rules

#

stupid bot, I disabled the clicking thing

#

the one I gave you a handy website to reliably get it

vernal vault Mar 20, 2023, 3:42 PM

#

ok

deep turret Mar 20, 2023, 3:48 PM

#

vernal vault in the ipconfig

note that if, in your router's rules, it changes to 73:9e:1a:d3:05:1c looking number,
it must match the "physical address" numbers in ipconfig /all where it also gives you your local address (starting with 5C-..)

if your able to successfully connect than try connecting using your public ip address (the one you get from typing my ip in your browser)

Hi all!

I started a dedicated server based on this docker image:
https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server

It seemingly worked well. I could connect locally and claim the server. I went ahead and loaded a save file.
However after that the server disappeared from the in-game server manager.

The docker logs seem to point to a connection related error (this loops (the connection log lines I mean. The container doesn't exit and restart))

Any ideas?

EDIT:
I've verified the container can communicate externally:

spark fox Mar 22, 2023, 10:40 PM

#

Then your answer was confusing. 8 GB of RAM to run a dedicated server is a lot. I've had massive Valheim servers that ends up on that, but Satisfactory uses that for a fresh new server. It seems really high

deep turret Mar 22, 2023, 10:42 PM

#

and I just responded that it stays with this RAM load, and doesnt grow by items or structure you used in the game,
it is the game ressource for server to run

spark fox Mar 22, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

Running the game itself uses less, so it makes no sense that the server part uses way more.
That's why I asked if it's intended to stay that way, or if it's just the early stages of the dedicated server part of the game.

deep turret Mar 22, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

you mean running the game with a local game ?

#

because if you are just comparing the game that run connected to a dedicated server, then ofcourse the server is taking part of the load

#

when connected to dedicated server, the game is local software PLUS dedicated server (running with more that 8GB yes)

spark fox Mar 22, 2023, 10:45 PM

#

I'm hosting a dedicated server, on a separate system. The Server consumes atm. 8.25 GB of RAM.
I JUST made a new server locally on the client side of it, and it uses a bit less than 3.2 GB of RAM.
So I'm asking, is it just the early stages of the dedicated server, and it will be optimized later on, or is it "working as intended"?

deep turret Mar 22, 2023, 10:47 PM

#

"I JUST made a new server locally on the client" you mean a new game instead of new 'server' ?

#

using the word "server" there is ambiguous

spark fox Mar 22, 2023, 10:48 PM

#

I can host it from the game itself, on my own PC, and it uses 3.2 GB of RAM.
But when I use a dedicated server, it uses 8.2 GB of RAM.

My question is, it it just the early stages on that front, or will it be improved later on?

#

It's not. Since it's an actual server running.

deep turret Mar 22, 2023, 10:48 PM

I need to know for sure what you are talking about to not give you random answer

so machines != softwares != games
'satisfactory dedicated server' is a software that can run on your own pc or a 'server' machine and maybe you compare that to local game on client but I dont know for sure because you just said "on my own pc"

spark fox Mar 22, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

deep turret I dont know, maybe but note that a dedicated server by nature will at some point...

whereas for client selfhosted games you probably will run other things and adapt depending on the game ressources' need

#

dedicated server is thought off as for long hosting time on a machin somehow configured for that, so loading everything once in ram makes sense

#

so it doenst have to load it when needed and is finally more efficient

#

but I do hope there will be options to unload some of it as the games pause

I think the game just hogs 8 GBs immediately, and this value will be very to unlikely rise until your world is really large with lots of factories (the scenario when a single player world would be using 8 GB too) if you have hosted minecraft servers before you allocate 2-4 gb to those and they always use that resource. It helps prevent crashes if left unattended.

So that tells me there is no local firewall blocking it.
Sounds like a nating issue.
Do you perhaps have several NAT routers?

firewalls usually does not apply when connecting on the localhost, so it only tells the dedicated server is running good

it may be a paid service to your ISP, or through a special procedure
or it is simply a settings, some have a settings to change how often it is changed
it may depends on the offer you subscribed to
it may be easier to setup a dns address instead (which is also paid, but can work with low cost (several dollars a year))

#

while it may be more complicated to set up, I would recommend using a dns address
it is the stable/standard internet way

vernal vault Mar 23, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

what dns adress put i there or where do i find it

#

because the setting that changes the adress is alredy off

deep turret Mar 23, 2023, 5:01 PM

#

are you sure ? it is not on router setting
usually it only show in subscription ISP account advanced settings

vernal vault Mar 23, 2023, 5:01 PM

#

wait

deep turret Mar 23, 2023, 5:01 PM

#

"amazon.com" is basically a dns address
you need to buy one you interested in from a dns registrar
then use a script to update it regularly to your current address

vernal vault Mar 23, 2023, 5:02 PM

#

ah the pc setting was for the pc adress

deep turret Mar 23, 2023, 5:02 PM

#

there may be multiple registrar mandated to sell a top domain's dns addresses

vernal vault Mar 23, 2023, 5:02 PM

#

it also changes every day

deep turret Mar 23, 2023, 5:04 PM

#

if you are subscribed to German telecom isp for instance, you would need to go on your German telecom's online account to see if there is a setting or paid extra for static ip
but static ip is not recommended

na i am o2 i am looking rn

deep turret Mar 23, 2023, 5:05 PM

a dns is more flexible also, if you move or temporarly give access to it to friends or else

#

you even can register multiple address in a single dns address

fading quarry Mar 23, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

It does not really matter your router should route you directly back to the internal ip, but then again this could be a limitation depending on the router itself, I mean you yourself should use internal ip to save bandwidth if it tries to route externally and then loop back.

that path (SatisfactoryDedicatedServer) might not be 100% accurate since that is based on the name selected in a traditional steamcmd setup, but its basically the exact same thing running a thinner steam client than full fledged steam client.

If you have the ability to use Local IP i would def try that first as you are not having to potentially route packets away and then back. Try to connect locally and if not try to ping the local IP and if not that then you may need to check your network settings, if your ip address is something like 192.168.1.XXX for both of them (as long as the first parts match) you SHOULD be good

Hey all, where do I add the multihome option in the FactoryServer.sh file?

fading quarry Mar 23, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

cold comet Hey all, where do I add the multihome option in the FactoryServer.sh file?

its a commandline paramater "-multihome=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

cold comet Mar 23, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

fading quarry its a commandline paramater "-multihome=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

Alright, how do I implement that then? I've looked everywhere

fading quarry Mar 23, 2023, 10:58 PM

#

depends entirely on how you run your server, i run mine as a service, if i were to use that commandline i would set it in my service' file

cold comet Mar 23, 2023, 10:59 PM

#

I haven't setup as a service yet. I just want to make sure that it's installed correctly first, then setup the service

fading quarry Mar 23, 2023, 11:00 PM

#

by assumption then ./FactoryServer.sh -multihome=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx should do it for you

cold comet Mar 23, 2023, 11:01 PM

That's not my problem then. I just tried that and I still can't get the server to start

what problem are you having unable to bind to ports?

I followed the wiki and the steamcmd install, but I don't think it's installing properly. I've tried uninstall and installing again

fading quarry Mar 23, 2023, 11:05 PM

#

that error you can fix by making a symbolic link to the file located at SatisfactoryServer/linux64/steamclient.so to /home/steam/.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so

#

cd into the folder where that steamclient.so is and type the following mkdir /home/steam/.steam/sdk64/ && ln -s steamclient.so /home/steam/.steam/sdk64/

cold comet Mar 23, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

I did that, no errors in using the commands you gave, but now a different error starting; too many symbolic links to steamclient.so

fading quarry Mar 23, 2023, 11:20 PM

#

so its already linked, kinda weird I kinda thought that portion of the wiki was wrong since even though i have intalled steamcmd /usr/games/steamcmd/... have never existed on any of my linux installations.

cold comet Mar 23, 2023, 11:21 PM

#

I've been at this a couple days now, so it's entirely possible i've gone a mucked things up

fading quarry Mar 23, 2023, 11:23 PM

#

if you want to remove the old link you can simply just use rm on the shortcut rm /home/steam/.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so and make a link to the one in the satisfactory folder instead, thats the steamclient i have used for all of my installations.

cold comet Mar 23, 2023, 11:30 PM

#

I tried and it keeps giving me the error 'file exists'

fading quarry Mar 23, 2023, 11:32 PM

#

what output do you get if you type ls -l /home/steam/.steam/sdk64/

#

e.g this is the output I get kites@gameserver:~$ ls -l /home/steam/.steam/sdk64/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 steam steam 47 Feb 17 18:52 steamclient.so -> /home/steam/Satisfactory/linux64/steamclient.so

o.O

#

try force delete that file then that does not seem right

#

rm -f steamclient.so

cold comet Mar 23, 2023, 11:41 PM

did that, and when I ls -l on the one in linux64 this is what I get

#

-rwxrwxr-x 1 steam steam 33554122 Mar 21 21:36 steamclient.so

#

if I try to use the command you gave for copying into sdk64 and linking it, i get the 'too many links' error starting the server

#

right now the server is telling me it can't find the file

fading quarry Mar 23, 2023, 11:43 PM

#

rofl this makes no sense, then again your not showing full output you could be in a different directory

cold comet Mar 23, 2023, 11:43 PM

#

it's not giving me the whole directory display

fading quarry Mar 23, 2023, 11:44 PM

#

thats why I included the line above showing that i did ls -l /home/steam/.steam/sdk64/

#

i am wondering if perhaps its the sdk64 directory thats linked instead

#

try ls -l /home/steam/.steam/

fading quarry Mar 23, 2023, 11:52 PM

#

so its not linked, and so is not steamclient.so it seems, and you could not delete the file either?

cold comet Mar 23, 2023, 11:54 PM

it was able to delete the file, the only one I have left is in the sds/linux64 dir

fading quarry Mar 23, 2023, 11:55 PM

#

ln -s /home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/linux64/steamclient.so /home/steam/.steam/sdk64/ replace SatisfactoryDedicatedServer with the name of the folder you have on your system.

#

basically you want the linking to show an arrow pointing to the file located to the file inside linux64 steamclient.so file as i posted above.

cold comet Mar 23, 2023, 11:58 PM

came back with 'invalid option 'l'. did you mean ln -s?

fading quarry Mar 24, 2023, 12:03 AM

you should do ls -l /home/steam/.steam/sdk64/

maybe the logs can give some insight, whenever you try connecting to server there are a few log entries

#

you might need to use -BeaconPort=15000 and -Port=7777 as well as paramters

there is a process there 7604 that should not exist

try forwarding those ports in your router to your server and then try by connecting using external ip, i think someone said yesterday they had same issue connecting internally.

Quick question that someone probably thinks the answer is really obvious but I'm a little unsure the best way to handle this.

I have a separate PC that I'm thinking of running a dedicated server off of. The reason I want to is because my primary PC that is the one doing it runs it through Steam and then my laptop can't play because the library is in use on another computer. I want to avoid that with this new machine and am unsure how to do that. The new machine was completely wiped so I could install Linux on it if that makes this process easier but don't have a lot of familiarity with Linux.

#

depends on your pc, dedicated server uses pretty much same resources on your pc as client does except rendering meaining no GPU

#

your looking at i7 10th gen+ 48gb ram+++

#

server will allocate 12gb on start meaining you need to have 12gb ram free when the server starts typically it will be more like 9-10gb while running, but can indeed use twice or even three times as much.

#

I have 32gb running client and server on same machine leads to random crashes, and often time crashes that you cant actually find why it crashes

#

16gb is typically what you need as a baseline for a pure dedicated server

#

definitely not enough

#

good part is that ram is cheap compared to cpu's, and we saw a great increase in performance in update 7 at the cost of more ram usage.

#

I highly doubt you will be able to find anything capable of running satisfactory dedicated server for free, I don't want to sound discouraging but cheap alternatives will make you want to pull your hair out in matter of days due to frustration.

#

cheapest alternatives I have seen that have the specs that are recommended to run dedicated server start at 45$ /month and upwards.

#

problem is that at that price you can pretty much build a server of your own if you factor 1 year rent.

#

Dedicated server heavily depends on single core performance, and to be honest a cpu that benches below 2500 in score for single thread performance will just lead to sad times (use cpubenchmark dot net as baseline when your out looking for a host)

so as long as its not a custom image, it should have the ports forwarded correctly to the docker container, i'd hope

Hey all, I've set up a my own dedicated server on an older Dell PC I brought home from work and was wondering if it's going to be enough to run our server (2 - 3 people) long-term.

It's running an i5 4590, 24GB DDR3 RAM, a Samsung SSD, no graphics card

It meets the requirements that they specified, as well as clearly working with the 2 of us right now. I've noticed though that the stuff on the conveyor belts seem slightly laggy popping in and out of existence. I'm not sure if this is just normal though.

I'm mostly just wanting to make sure that this setup will work for the long haul.

Thanks!

storm junco Hey all, I've set up a my own dedicated server on an older Dell PC I brought hom...

It should work ok, but as you have noticed belts will continue to be out of sync, unfortunately there's not a whole lot you can do with that except considering getting trying to get a more powerful CPU off of Ebay that has better single core performance, for that platform that would be a i7-4790K, single core performance would go from ~ 2000 to 2500, eventually most if not all multiplayer sessions and dedicated servers suffers this fate as it progresses to get worse as complexity of your factories grow. Tuning network configuration does help a bit, but the lagging belts is unfortunately something you will just have to accept as a compromise playing on dedicated server / multiplayer.

#

Good thing is that it is only visually not in sync, throughput is not affected. Which was often a problem in update 5 and update 6.

storm junco Mar 27, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

I mean I have a 3700x/motherboard/32gb ddr4 ram sitting in a box

With this I would have to grab a new CPU cooler, case, and GPU since 3700x doesn't have built in graphics.

I would do this if it meant a massive increase in performance, but only if I get a huge performance increase

fading quarry Mar 27, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

I use cpubenchmark as reference (since every benchmark site have their own ratings) 3700x has a single core rating of 2665, so don't go spend too much money on a GFX as I am sure you could grab a i7-4790K for cheap off off Ebay or similar site in your country.

#

a quick search and i found a CPU for 50$, a case and gfx for your 3700x easily will run you 150 at the lower end.

#

that said, eventually server will get overwhelmed regardless what CPU you run as its only a matter time before the complexity of your save is too big for the CPU to handle, they did however increase the performance by a ton in upgrade 7 and we can just hope that trend continues with update 8.

#

As for constructions and belts popping in and out of existence it could be that you are building at a cross-section between two or multiple zones (biomes) this however is said to be greatly improved next update. There are a few very popular sites that are located in cross section between multiple zones, and this is known to have performance issues.

storm junco Mar 27, 2023, 3:03 PM

#

I think they said in the last update that with this update 8 they're switching to UE5 and servers are going to get worse in the shortterm

#

You're right though about the cost, when I had looked it up a cheaper CPU cooler/case/gt1030 I'm looking at $150

please no "if you're infront of your PC, why not just close the dedicated server console and starting it again"

because sometimes, when i'm sleeping, some friend of mine are still playing, so they may encounter some bug that requires restarting or something, so they can use console to restart the server.

as for now, it seems that the only way is to use the server manger to tell the server to load save or something.(which i dont know if it will work on their end, since i dont know if they could access the save files.)

Hey everyone, I'm hosting a dedicated server on some extra hardware I had laying around. Its running on Ubuntu. I can connect to it via my private ip address but can not connect to it with the public ip address. I have port forward the ports on my router (1577, 15000, and 7777-7827) and have opened the ports 7777-7827 in my firewall, but still does not seem to work. I assume its an issue with my port forwarding or firewall but am not sure. Any tips?

fleet heron Hey everyone, I'm hosting a dedicated server on some extra hardware I had laying...

First, you could run a port scan from outside your network (also works from the inside with your public ip). Use nmap.

Second, make sure you have disabled ufw or allowed the ports you need, eg. ufw allow 15000/udp.

Least of all, could you share more information? Does the connection time out, or is it refused? Are you connecting through localhost or any interface like eth0 (nowadays often called different)?

I recommend rechecking your router's settings. Here's what you need: https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Port_forwarding_and_firewall_settings
Note you need to open 1577 and 15000, too, in your Firewall. You have not mentioned any of the sort.

fleet heron Mar 28, 2023, 7:20 PM

fading quarry ports are 15777, 15000 and 7777 all UDP

I accidentally did 1577 instead of 15777, thank you for listing the ports because that fixed it lol. Also I did the range of ports because that was a troubleshooting step in the #multiplayer-troubleshooting channel. The extra ones are removed now tho. Thank you again for your help

mint panther Hi I have a problem, I have set up a server on a dedicated server on pterodactyl...

For those who have dedicated server on OVH/SYS - the solution: enter the ip address into the browser or start ssh session without logging in

orchid breach Mar 29, 2023, 12:05 AM

#

so i was reminded by my hubby to disable/ enable my network adapter, when I did, and it came back as enabled it seemed to have updated to show I was on a shared network... I had forgotten about the adapter and then i didnt know about the binary files when setting the firewall rules so I found that and set the rules on it

#

not for dedicated, but for multiplayer, this was the closest thread... When I try to connect to my spouses world and vice versa, when on the connect screen it says one player in the world (which would be host) but then when I try to connect it says connecting 4/4 I was told this was a network issue, so I made sure Steam, Satisfactory and the binaries and such were all allowed in the firewall on all types of networks (private, public, domain), reset my network adapter, made sure we are hard wired to the same router, port forwarded.... and still cant seem to connect... my "ghost" shows in their world, but wont let me connect

#

between these is just a pop up saying "Connecting ... 4/4 "

#

my spouse is the only player on his world, I would be the only player trying to connect

#

multiplayer settings are set to friends only

#

it might help to mention that my "ghost" does show up in their world, but I never actually see their world before I am kicked in the span of like 2 seconds after clicking join

#

my ghost is visible in game, but when spouse goes to multiplayer and manage players my username is not in there, only my spouses

Is this a game host provider? In that case they often provide a web interface where you find FTP information to where you can download logs, if its a traditional VPS there are a few different locations saves and configs can be stored depending if its Linux or Windows.

#

Have your server maybe received a new IP address?

unborn knoll Mar 29, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

i don't believe so. i can connect to the server running a different save just fine. i can connect to the server to select saves, create a new game, etc, without issue. it's just loading this particular save that is the issue. and it's not even that actually. the server loads this save; the status screen shows correct playtime and progress and the game goes into the loading screen. this is where the problem is. the client just never actually loads in. on just this save. client loads in fine on others.

#

my client loads this save fine in single player as well.

fading quarry Mar 29, 2023, 9:04 PM

try load the save in scim, save it and load the "new" save on the server.

#

there are a few errors in the logs but nothing that should make it not possible to connect.

unborn knoll Mar 29, 2023, 9:08 PM

the issue started yesterday when i: changed the actual color of one of the base color swatches. i had changed this color previously and painted something in a different section of the map. i changed it and painted something new. then i tried to build something and the build animation was stuck in the "preview" blue state. i thought reconnecting might fix this issue, but never could reconnect.

deep turret Mar 29, 2023, 9:08 PM

unborn knoll Mar 29, 2023, 9:12 PM

deep turret do the server game status keep time going before you try connecting to the game ...

yes, server loads the save and shows correct playtime and progress

deep turret Mar 29, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

I mean do the server increase the time (real-time)

#

when you unpause the game without connecting to it

fading quarry Mar 29, 2023, 9:13 PM

there should be more log files, grab the next last log file, because the current that you posted give no clues as to whats wrong.

deep turret Mar 29, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

when the game is running the game status is real-time increasing the game duration
you can look seconds increment in the game status

#

if it doesn't increment even though it is unpaused it means the server struggles to run it, no matter how clients try to connects (no one is connected to the game)

except for processing of course

but it doesn't increase a lot

unborn knoll Mar 29, 2023, 9:19 PM

fortunately save time on your system is short(2 seconds~), on my server saving takes 15 seconds

but i had covered most of the map at that point

fading quarry Mar 29, 2023, 9:22 PM

I do believe someone have mentioned swatches here or on questions, I would suggest you load the save in SCIM modify swatch there and try load save when you have made changes. Because logs look fine.

probably have something to do with how your vps address is reported to them (do you use dns address ?)
currently the client have very brittle server connection capabilities
I didn't make a report yet but basically it doesn't try multiple A and AAAA record DNS responses as it should

#

if you use a dns address, checks if multiple adress are reported when looking it up
(on windows you can use the cmd nslookup your.dns.adress, on Linux you can use dig A your.dns.adress and again but with dig AAAA your.dns.adress)

questions about network quality command FG.NetworkQuality

is the value below correct if being compare between console command and game client user setting options?
FG.NetworkQuality 0 = Network Quality Low
FG.NetworkQuality 1 = Network Quality Medium
FG.NetworkQuality 2 = Network Quality High
FG.NetworkQuality 3 = Network Quality Ultra ?

Reasons : because i'm using dedicated server to host the game playing with a friend of mine, and sometimes i dont want to have my game client open at all times.

#

another question
do configuring the networkquality setting requires the server to restart?

I guess you're right on this list.
NetworkQuality 3 = Ultra, atleast.

If you are doing it in console it should not require a restart, but I don't see any reason for changing it while running on serverside

#

unless to save some server resource then I guess but i think it'd rather cause more problems than not changing it to lower quality

I don't get why it would have anything to do with keeping your client opened
This is a server thing it does not depend on your client state

There is the checkbox to NOT pause the game when nobody is connected, just use that

#

on the note of dedicated servers, does anybody know if multithreading adds any value? I know they said that single core performance is favorable to multi-threading, but since I'm on a VPS, I don't have much option to speed up my cores

#

and my game is pegging CPU, so I was going to add more cores, just wanted to know if anybody knows if doing so would help my performance

#

depends how many you already have with available ressources

#

4 is enough

#

more will make no difference

#

it is multi-threaded but not arbitrarily/heavily threaded
it just spreads multiple (different) processing pipelines on to several threads

#

yeah i've only got 1 right now lol

#

but it's a new xeon platinum one

deep turret Mar 31, 2023, 2:53 PM

#

I would say minimum 2

#

So exactly 2, 3, or 4 vcpu/cpu-threads

meager fern Mar 31, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

nice yeah i'll upgrade it

meager fern but it's a new xeon platinum one

if it's a xeon platinum then it has 12 to 28 cores

#

I run my server on a tiny xpc with an i5 and 4 cores have 5 active players and no problems

meager fern Mar 31, 2023, 5:02 PM

#

it's a dedicated server, so they only expose how ever many cores you pay for

I'd be game to start a fresh server with others.

Is there a dedicated server hosting company that is considered any better than the others or somewhere legit reviews have been done for them?

Anyone come across "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32" before?

is that a steamcmd install platform error?

deep turret Apr 1, 2023, 3:02 PM

#

maybe your steamcmd failed to update ?

#

did you trigger a steamcmd update recently ?

#

if you didnt updated steamcmd, maybe try to launch it so it update itself
