dedicated-servers

[lyric nacelle]

Sadly that didn't seem to fix it.

[lapis gazelle]

Do U7 sav files not work on a dedicated server?

[lyric nacelle]

Never mind, I take that back. The systemctl file change didn't fix it, manually starting it with that command did.

[fossil stump]

@lapis gazelle they work jsut fine

[obsidian harbor]

is this dedicated related or just a buggy client?

[fossil stump]

that's a client side crash

[loud minnow]

ok i uploaded and update 7 save to the update 8 server and is running fine RAM usage did go up from 1.7GB on NEW game to 4.2GB on 800Hour save

and still very single treaded heavy

running on docker on thread 0-7 out of 32 threads 3950X 64 3466 ram kit

[visual onyx]

is a ryzen 7 3800x alright for hosting a U8 server?

[visual onyx]

damn multithreading would have been cool

or will be* I guess we gotta wait for 1.0

[lyric nacelle]

Okay, I take back the taking back. I can do the admin interface bits now, but as soon as I set up the game world I'm thrown to "You are not connected to this server."

Edit: While writing this it randomly it tried to connect, and I got this new message, ideas?

It sees the world online, just unable to actually join the world.

[tiny grotto]

I got a dedicated server started in linux. Simple tweaks to get it to work in linuxGSM. 1. turn on experimental branch, 2. revise the name of the executable. These are changed in ./lgsm/config-lgsm/sfserver/sfserver.cfg and lgsm/config-default/config-lgsm/sfserver/_default.cfg respectively.
To the sfserver.cfg add this line: branch="experimental" . In the _default.cfg look for the executable line. Change to: executable="./UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping"

[lapis gazelle]

I'm not able to 'Upload' via the game GUI like I have in the past (it puts me into a 'private session' instead)

[loud minnow]

it will still use more core i limited to only use 8 thread out of 32 on my CPU but DS are still single threaded heavy so update 8 performance on DS just depends on your IPC mainly

[fossil stump]

Epyc 7F32 handles it pretty well 😛

[lyric nacelle]

The setup page does say that it is primarily single threaded, even if it does support multi-thread. So, higher single core scores -> Lots of threads. Least to the usual extend.

[bold plover]

this is why it bothers me that server managers and hosting providers start branching their own scripts and entrypoints. FactoryServer.sh exists for a reason, and points to the correct binary for both U7 and U8 🙂

[loud minnow]

yeah as it should as not an old xeon but 3950X would still be faster single thread performance than Epyc 7F32

[bold plover]

hence: https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server/pull/185/files

[tiny grotto]

this is on my own rig. linuxgsm "just worked"

[bold plover]

didn't just work though. you had to update the path to the executable which was set incorrectly

[lyric nacelle]

Tbh the best CPU for a Satisfactory server, if it is as with something like Minecraft, is just getting something like a 5600X, or 5800X, 7600X, etc. single-CCD CPUs with a high core clock.
Or you know.. a 13900K or such if you hate your electricity bill.

[tiny grotto]

this 10100 right here is perfectly adequate

[lyric nacelle]

Technically, I suppose. Could probably overclock the living hell out of it. :D

[fossil stump]

As much as I would love to build my server around a Ryzen CPU... they don't have 128 PCIe lanes like Epyc, and I currently have 10 NVME devices in the server.

[hasty tangle]

So I might be really thick, but i've updated both the server and my client and getting a version mis-match, anything I may of missed which is really obvious?

[fossil stump]

@hasty tangle do a verify on both

[young bolt]

hmm i'm at a loss lol

[hasty tangle]

@fossil stump thanks, do i need to stop the server? Running steamcmd on lubuntu

[fossil stump]

kinda hard to verify it while it's running...

[hoary lava]

Server Manager on the client not working? Mines just blank, trying to connect to a new server to set up.

Oh, never mind, button loaded up now

[hasty tangle]

@fossil stump has verified fine on the server and client

[fossil stump]

reinstall then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hasty tangle]

I thought that maybe it - just wondered if there was a magic trick 😄 thanks for your help

[loud minnow]

yeah i guessing you use it for other thing not just hosting a satisfactory server... i built mine from spare parts from upgrading my main rig that has a 5950X, 128Gb, 3090 X570 Creation mobo... so the 3950X and 64Gb are all just spare parts that i had so i made another machine lol.. but yeah if i was building something other that just hosting DS.. then yeah Epyc is the way to go

[fossil stump]

It's my NAS, it has 140TB of storage in it....

[loud minnow]

yeah i figured it had to be use for something else not just hosting games lol

[manic hatch]

If you're still having trouble with this, the install script in the pterodactyl egg also references the old binary, and does some file permissions changes on the binary file. Updating that install script, then doing a reinstall will help.

The new binary file is called:
UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping

It's in the same path

[spare orbit]

So, i just updated our server and now also get this UNet Connection Timeout. worked perfectly before, didnt touch anything except running the update :/

no idea what the problem is, worked before and nothing changed.
server console also says nothing suspicious

[loud minnow]

make sure you specify the IP ex: -multihome=192.168.1.191

sometimes that helps

best thing to do is just post the server logs here to see the issue

[tiny grotto]

are you certain the server is running

the name of the executable changed

[spare orbit]

uh, the servers internal address or the external? (it runs as part of a cluster in a datacenter)

[spare orbit]

yeah, i have the shell and my client also shows it

so i get this

so i would say ip binding should be correct

only thing i dont understand is this

no idea what adress this is

[tiny grotto]

that's upnp doing its thing, albeit ipv6

do you have a -multihome option?

the linuxgsm uses "-multihome=0.0.0.0" which is perhaps useful to make it stick to ipv4

i just have ipv6 off on the server

[manic hatch]

ports 15000, 15777, 7777 are open?

[spare orbit]

yeah, as i said, we played over hundred hours on update 7, worked literally two hours before the update

so nothing should be wrong on our side

[tiny grotto]

and yet here we are. are you going to show us your start options, or not?

[spare orbit]

i just use the shipped start script

[tiny grotto]

not

[lyric nacelle]

Able to see the the admin interface, just not connect to the game itself?

[tiny grotto]

you can grep out this line from the logfile:

[young bolt]

so how do I go about changing a server port that its using, I cant find the server.ini file

[lyric nacelle]

-ServerQueryPort=<portnum>

[hasty tangle]

Ahh needed to add the experimental start to the config, me being a dumbass

[spare orbit]

i start it with this

[tiny grotto]

well, that would appear to be wrong

[lyric nacelle]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers?so=search#Command_line_options

[spare orbit]

worked with update 7

[tiny grotto]

it is perhaps fine, 15777 is used for discovery and as long as there is a clear route, should work out.

[young bolt]

can I type that in the console?

[tiny grotto]

this will be the 4th time you are suggested to use -multihome=0.0.0.0

[lyric nacelle]

If you start from Linux you'd do ./FactoryServer.sh -command -command -command etc

[young bolt]

windows

[lyric nacelle]

Haven't a clue how it starts in Window, most likely the same idea +/- GUI

[young bolt]

got ya

[manic hatch]

no, you can't change the port while the server is running. You have to start the server with the right port in the launch options

like this
.\FactoryServer.exe -⁠ServerQueryPort=15000 -⁠BeaconPort=15001 -Port=15002

[young bolt]

obviously, I cant find the ini files to change that though

[spare orbit]

trying that atm

[tiny grotto]

the .sh script passes arguments down

[young bolt]

and if i'm not using a script since its not needed?

[manic hatch]

you don't set ports via ini files

[spare orbit]

okay, setting multihome actually works

so it seem something changed in the handling of the default ip

[tiny grotto]

it just wants to use ipv6, and shouldn't

[spare orbit]

the server has globally no ipv6

[lyric nacelle]

Didn't work for me :D

Or rather, it worked so I could connect to the in-game admin interface of the server, but as soon as I try joining the game it.. does nothing / gives another error.

[tiny grotto]

that does not seem to be true

[spare orbit]

so it shouldnt even be able to think it can use that

[tiny grotto]

if it knows what ::1 is, it has ipv6 on

[manic hatch]

if you launch the server via steam, you can set launch options in steam and set these options for the three ports.

.\FactoryServer.exe -⁠ServerQueryPort=15000 -⁠BeaconPort=15001 -Port=15002 -log -unattended

by default it's just -log -unattended

[young bolt]

its a stand alone dedicated not through a steam client

[manic hatch]

how do you start it?

[young bolt]

the .exe file in the folder

[stoic stream]

WEHY everytime i go to update the dedicated server, the dedicated server files DOn'T update

It's infuriating

[hot jewel]

i made a dedicated exp server with nitrado but i dont get the AGS option, is this normal with the new update or do i need to change somthing ?

[stoic stream]

Is my format correct?

C:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental +quit

[manic hatch]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers?so=search#Manual - Command line
I don't think you can just double click the exe and use custom ports. You have to specify launch options. This link shows you how to do that.

[spare orbit]

oh actually, it seems i was lazy. instead of disabling the ipv6 every time i just blocked every ipv6 connection in the hhardware firewall xD
so the os indeed thinks it has ipv6, even though the connection isnt working

but thanks, setting 0.0.0.0 works

[young bolt]

thanks I will just have to create a command line for it, its not as easy as ARK is and just has a server settings file for all this I guess lol

[manic hatch]

Not sure if there is a command to enable it on the server. You can in single player enable that, save the game. Then upload that save to the server. AGS is tied to the save file.

[hot jewel]

thank you will try it

[spare orbit]

you can do that on the server

[hot jewel]

enlight me plz

[manic hatch]

in the save manager? Or is there a command?

err server manager -> manage saves not save manager

[spare orbit]

yeah save manager under load

you have this box there when loading a save

just below load game

[hot jewel]

thank you

[spare orbit]

so like just go in normally, save it once, and then load it

[hot jewel]

i have it now, thank you

[stone olive]

I guess this start command wont work anymore, what command should i use?

[lucid stag]

Change it to UnrealServer instead of UE4Server

[manic hatch]

./Engine/Binaries/Linux/UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping

[stoic stream]

i don't care about the save since I start a new game every update, but how screwed up does a previous save get

[stone olive]

thx

[stoic stream]

Can you start a save like at tier 2 ?

[tiny grotto]

yes

start it locally, and upload that to the dedi

[stoic stream]

ah thanks

looks liek the server just crashes when i try to load the previous save, time for a new one, and to experience this update

[stone olive]

okay, the server died, this is the last error:
Loss of data caused by narrowing conversion
[2023.06.13-19.51.01:727][ 0]LogCore: Error: appError called: Assertion failed: IntFitsIn<OutType>(In) [File:Runtime/Core/Public\Templates/UnrealTemplate.h] [Line: 183]

Should i send the whole log?

[tiny grotto]

this looks like loading a modded save

[stone olive]

i just reinstalled the server

so there shouldnt be anything modified

[tiny grotto]

the save file you have on the server, is what i mean.

[stone olive]

okay, so i deleted the save i found

[tiny grotto]

server should start clean now

[stone olive]

still the same error

[zinc moon]

I have similar error, on windows.

trying new game didnt change the errors

it appears ot be looking for files that dont exist (or location that doesnt exist)

[hasty tangle]

Up and running with the new update - is there a trick to getting AGS on Dedicated Server Saves?

[zinc moon]

I am guessing everyone that got their deds running are linux not win

[desert walrus]

Probably though client settings for server owner if I had to guess

[hasty tangle]

Yep linux here; had to update the ./FactoryServer.sh to include the multihome and also point to the right version

[desert walrus]

I don't think it was in the vid

[hasty tangle]

@desert walrus yep im the server owner can't see anything, can see it on local saves

[desert walrus]

You have to enable ags foe the save lol

[tiny grotto]

as in, download the save, save it with AGS on, upload it to server

[hasty tangle]

Ahh that will be fun 😄

[desert walrus]

Should be able to do it when you load the save?

[tiny grotto]

there were various behaviours mentioned that a lot of the settings depend on the client. so if you enable AGS every player can possibly turn anything on

yeah, the load button on local has a checkbox next to it

[desert walrus]

That's intended

[tiny grotto]

let's call it unprevented.

[hasty tangle]

It's all good! i'll let it settle down a bit with a few more fixes and then we can get back into the factory building

[zinc moon]

the windows version seems to be looking for default UE files under default UE folder names.

[stone olive]

so how do i fix this?

[zinc moon]

you're on windows right

[stone olive]

nah

its a debian server

[zinc moon]

ah ok no idea then, sorry, I'm the lone win user I guess lol

[stone olive]

probably, almost nobody uses widnows for servers

[zinc moon]

I run a multitude of game servers (for friends mostly), many dont have Linux deds

[stone olive]

its your choice ofc

but i dont see myself paying for a licence to have a windows server when i can have a linux for free and its also more stable...

[zinc moon]

ok

[stone olive]

Also windows is not supported by pterodactyl which is a software basically for managing servers with a nice web panel

and also since everything runs in its own container, the security of this thing is pretty good

and its easy to use

[manic hatch]

Path to least resistance is the best choice. For some people who don't use Linux Windows is just easier. I only use debian but to each their own.

[zinc moon]

again, ok

[tiny grotto]

@stone olive I used linuxgsm to launch the server. The attachment you provided doesn't show any unclean exit

oh, found it after downloading

i'm on deb as well, i'll see how far i get

Note the ServerSettings file read after the message re: packet routing. See if you have such a file, and if its contents make sense, and if it works better without it

do you have a gamefile or anything else you care about in there? If not rm -rf ~/.config and restart

.. blueprints ..

there is a point at which i just killed all of .config

[lapis gazelle]

Anyone else seeing constant server crashing? (every 20 to 30 minutes)

[stone olive]

no, i just installed it today (i previously played on a server hosted by my friend), so am gonna remove it

but even after removing that directory i have the same error that i sent here

[stone olive]

mine crashes right after the start 🤣

[stone olive]

did you provide the server with enough cpu power, ram and disk space?

[lapis gazelle]

Yeah for sure

[quartz shore]

i take it we cannot make a dedi server in experimental?

[royal dove]

I have one, but my ports/connection is doing weird things, although they are open correctly. :p

[lapis gazelle]

it does work, but if you have a ~large save file then it's just too buggy to play at the moment 😕

[quartz shore]

im not sure how to get one server updated to experimental

[crystal eagle]

Don't know if its a dedicated server thing or single player also, hyper tubes are glitched and if i persist going into them they crash the game

[deep turret]

everything ok just after update seemlessly for me

and insanely better RAM usage

[clear lagoon]

if they shoot you back out the wrong way, try dismantling several segments and then rebuilding it (including the entrance) . fixed it on my server at least

[deep turret]

yay

3.5GB

[neon rapids]

Anybody here using GCP for their server and updated it to Update 8 Experimental yet?

[spare orbit]

whats gcp

[crystal eagle]

I dismantled the tubes but not the wall supports and still crashed the game

[neon rapids]

Google Cloud Platform.

[spare orbit]

ah, then no

[clear lagoon]

running it in some sort of Linux compute instance? updating should work the same as usual

[neon rapids]

FWIW if anyone is curious since there is increased traffic to this channel lately, I have a Discord bot that allows Discord members to turn the server off and on to save on cloud costs when it isn't in use.
https://github.com/Cerkoryn/FICSIT-Assistant

[neon rapids]

Yes, ty. Was mainly curious about performance.

[sweet whale]

Did we lose access to advanced options when connecting to dedicated server? I'd like set creatures to passive again

[royal dove]

Hmm, when starting my Dedicated server; it seems it want to be Satisfactory itself; or i am just seeing things:

[2023.06.13-21.36.30:068][ 0]LogGenericPlatformMisc: Error: SetEnvironmentVar not implemented for this platform: SteamAppId = 526870

And yes i installed 1690800 with steamcmd. :p

[quick mist]

That is a normal error

ingnorable

[solid lynx]

that option was moved to gameplay

[royal dove]

Ok, then i am still confused like a crazy woman about why i cannot connect with everything setup correctly...

[stone olive]

anyone got something similar liket his? server (on experimental branch) crashing after start even if its a new installation without any loaded save files?

[quick mist]

check the Seven Steps to Satisfaction from the wiki, that covers 95% of "why can't I connect?" problems

[sweet whale]

There it is, thanks

[royal dove]

Did that one 7 times already. :p

[quick mist]

do you get any specific error on the client or the server log when you try to connect?

[royal dove]

And yes server works because it is runnign minecraft; nope just saying server is offline.

[quick mist]

do you mind sharing the server address and port so that I can run a quick test?

[royal dove]

I also did a PortQuery to the server from a client, and he says everything is listening. I prefer not too (yes not helpfull...)

[quick mist]

if you are able to run a Python-based tool, can you grab this and test your server with it to see what the reaults are like? https://github.com/dopeghoti/SF-Tools

[royal dove]

I cannot run Python scripts, but according to PortQuery: (From a client.)

UDP port 15777 (unknown service): LISTENING or FILTERED
UDP port 15000 (unknown service): LISTENING or FILTERED
UDP port 7777 (unknown service): LISTENING or FILTERED
portqry.exe -n xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -e 15777,15000,7777 -p UDP exits with return code 0x00000002.

And used following powershell script to open the ports:

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound ports" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 15000,15777,7777

[quick mist]

unfortunately, "Listening or filtered" is not dispositive. When a connection attempt is made by the client, are there any logs on the server side whatsoever?

[visual onyx]

has literally anyone had a stable enough experience on update 8 dedi servers?

[quick mist]

I'll have to let someone else pick this up; I have to get ready for work, but good luck!

[quartz shore]

so i see how to change a server to experimental but i dont understand how

[spare orbit]

have to say no

[spare orbit]

hm?

the -beta experimental lets him install the experimental version as server

[quartz shore]

im a noob, just trying to find the right spot to put it

[spare orbit]

what system / environment are you?

[quartz shore]

want to do this in dm not to cluter this chat?

[spare orbit]

should be short anyway. also could help others.
and this channel is dead atm anyway

[quartz shore]

ok, by system you mean pc and encironment is?

[spare orbit]

in my case its a dedicated server with linux using steamcmd to install it

so i can tell how to install on linux using steamcmd

[quartz shore]

windows base with windowsgsm using steamcmd

not very tech savy, would ask by buddy but i dont want to hear his mouth

[spare orbit]

uuh, never even heard of windowsgsm xD
but since its steamcmd, it should work the same

[loud minnow]

I been fine so far on update 8 and I have a big save loaded in the DS

[spare orbit]

hm, i dont know how the windowsgsm part works, but i posted an image of the steamcmd command to install and also update the game.
so you probably can copy that for cmd, just changing the folder and its location i guess

[quartz shore]

this is what you are refuring to?

[spare orbit]

yeah

windows paths work different, so you need to change that

everything else could be the same

cant try

[quartz shore]

so if my knowledge is correct i would have to do it in the windowsgsm and in the server folder itself, if my brain is thinking it right

[spare orbit]

idk about the gsm part. normally i would just put that in a cmd file and double click it xD

[quartz shore]

just need to find the right file

[molten fiber]

Has anyone had issue loading an Update 7 world / save after updating to 8? I was under the impression it "should" work. Seeing this

[spare orbit]

idk about file, i would create a new one xD

like you just call the program steamcmd to install it

in that stage, there shouldnt be any existing file of the server

[loud minnow]

I was able to load an 800 hour update 7 save fine in update 8

[spare orbit]

ours also worked

(cant say that about the server stability xD)

[loud minnow]

Mine is stable fine

[visual onyx]

I can't even have my friends recognise my server 😭 I'll try later

[visual onyx]

I keep getting this it's so annoying

[molten fiber]

I'm getting a similar error while connecting to mine 👆

[loud minnow]

And for anyone wanting to test it out sever is in south Cali address: server.korneya.com port:default

[spare orbit]

yeah, get this from time to time as well.

got it always when the server tried to bind to ipv6, so forcing him to ipv4 helped it a bit. but it still occurs often

[visual onyx]

I'll do that, have a dabble

[spare orbit]

huh, you can use domains?

it didnt want mine

[loud minnow]

Yeah go for it has an 800 hour save loaded up to play around idk care what you do in it lol

[visual onyx]

rubber banding a bit

[hybrid pelican]

Hello, do you know how to change my name showed to other in a multiplayer server?

[loud minnow]

Well it is in south California

[visual onyx]

that is true 💀

forgot about that, I'm in UK

[loud minnow]

So latency will be an issue if your like in Europe

[molten fiber]

interesting created a fresh world still getting the same error Kayyer posted above

@dusk solar curious are you using the epic or steam game client?

[visual onyx]

very cool, fairly smooth considering geo diff

[dusk solar]

epic

[molten fiber]

same

[loud minnow]

Is running on a 3950x 3466 ram kit.. but yeah that save was giving to me for testing purposes from someone in this community.. so I don’t care if people join to test it out

Running docker and Debian

[spare orbit]

is debian viable for running gameservers? always heard there are only disadvantages to like ubuntu, because stuff is fairly old sometimes

[slim grotto]

Ubuntu is Debian.

[visual onyx]

are those apps I'd need to run a dedi from my house? I followed guides on IPs and ports and firewalls but I just launch the dedi DLC from epic games

[marble berry]

what's the verdict on a vanilla experimental server update right now?

[loud minnow]

You can run on anything really only reason why I like debían and docker is one overhead on ram usage is way lower on Linux than windows and also you have more performance than running it on windows.. and I use docker as is so easy to start, stop, limit resources etc using docker..

But to answer your question no you don’t need all that to run it a simple bat file on windows will do the job

[forest silo]

Any update on this? I just nuked the entire server software and reinstalled it and still getting it

[visual onyx]

I gave up 🙂

[spare orbit]

ubuntu comes from debian, but it isnt debian

[loud minnow]

If you live close to California you can test it out your self on my sever with a test save loaded address: server.korneya.com port: default

[spare orbit]

debian is more solid than ubuntu, because it uses older and more stable/tested parts. also less

[marble berry]

I'm going to update my client to experimental and see how single-player is first.

[spare orbit]

so its better for critical parts. but gameservers usually want newer software and library

[slim grotto]

The only upside to using Debian is its Stability. You are right in that fact. But in the 10 years I've been using Linux as a whole I have not had any issues using Ubuntu for my "home lab" needs. It's all a matter of perspective and what your needs are.

[molten fiber]

We just resolved same issue. Its a startup parms issue mapping the wrong port. Startup parameters were not correct, so one of the ports wasn't mapping to 4444 but on 7777 instead.

[manic hatch]

with an existing save no, with a brand new starting area I'm about 45 minutes in with a friend and it's been pretty smooth other than some frame lag occasionally
disclaimer, I work for a hosting company and have a few others tuning some stuff for pterodactyl

[visual onyx]

ugh ok I'll get back to getting mine to work

[golden leaf]

Hi! How is setting up a dedicated server difficulty wise?

I've tried before about a year ago but could never get it working, watched some YT videos and the wiki was confusing.

[ornate narwhal]

Having an issue getting server to start. verifies install twice then quits. Running server through Amp on ubuntu server. anyone experiencing anything similar?

[visual onyx]

same position as you, feel clueless setting it up even after doing all the funky wifi rules and settings

at least for me I could set up the server and join on the same WiFi, but people outside my IP just couldn't even detect the server

[vagrant turtle]

For those having the "Timeout" error with a linux DS, make sure IPv6 is Disabled

[spare orbit]

thats just an installation, do you even run it?

[vagrant turtle]

I had the exact same issue, and had to disable it, and I was able to connect with no problem now

[spare orbit]

starting is with the starting script insinde the installation

[polar grove]

Is there a way to start a New Game on a Server in Tier 4 already and to have Advanced Game mode on from the start of the new game?

[ornate narwhal]

yeah i did. when it runs the script it just tries to verify but doesnt actual run the game. probably just a script error on my end

[spare orbit]

the script shouldnt verify

what script did you use?

[ornate narwhal]

let me see what amp grabs

[slim grotto]

The server file name did change. Can you edit the Startup command?

[spare orbit]

server file name didnt affect me

[ornate narwhal]

gonna be a sec just restarted my vm gonna be a min lmao

[manic hatch]

some server control panels like AMP don't know that the binary file for satisfactory server has changed. UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping is what it should use

[spare orbit]

ah, the panels dont use the official start script?

because there is a FactoryServer.sh script in the root folder of the game

and this runs the server

[ornate narwhal]

yeah i didnt think that changed since update 7 but updating possibly broke whatever script they had so ill go in and check

[manic hatch]

The FactoryServer.sh script was updated with the new binary file

Pterodactyl and maybe amp don't use that script though their startup commands point straight at the binary file

[ornate narwhal]

will double check

[manic hatch]

I'm guessing though since I don't have all the information in front of me

[ornate narwhal]

not the best at this stuff either so just wingin most of it lol

appreciate the help

[spare orbit]

i dont use any other tools and just picked the FactoryServer.sh for my solution

[ornate narwhal]

trying to do that now but they may have hard coded in backend. kinda dumb

[marble berry]

I'm getting that "executable was not found" error

[quartz shore]

@spare orbit i have found my steamcmd in the windowsgsm folder, i copied and made a new folder for the experimental and also changed the paramiters for the second server to go to that folder, my next step is to change the "beta" steamcmd to experimental, is there a particular file i have to find or what is my next step?

[marble berry]

using LinuxGSM fyi

I updated fine, but the script won't start the server

[quartz shore]

@marble berry you got your server to update to beta using linuxGSM?

[marble berry]

oh. LinuxGSM is still trying to run UE4

I did, yeah

[quartz shore]

this is interesting, i wonder how i can find this

[marble berry]

do you need help with the update?

[golden leaf]

Is there any reccomended server hosting services?

[quartz shore]

im using windowsGSM and have one server running and wanted to start another one in beta

[marble berry]

vi lgsm/config-lgsm/sfserver/sfserver.cfg from the server root

oh

oh um. you just make a new root directory and change the ports

actually, there's probably a way to make instances, but I haven't done that yet

[quartz shore]

i got the server started and all but trying to run it in beta is a bleep, and i know nothing about coding and stuff

not sure where to change steamcmd from early access to experimental

[marble berry]

you have to add branch="experimental" into that config file I mentioned above

sfserver.cfg

[somber stirrup]

Guys, if someone is not able to upload the server, check the way it is running.
Execution "file" changed from "UE4Server-Linux-Shipping" to "UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping"

[marble berry]

and then run sfserver update

[forest silo]

Thx to @visual oracle's help, we found out it was the packet router causing issues

[marble berry]

I had to add executable="./UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping" to my LinuxGSM config file

[marble berry]

any luck with updating via that config?

[quartz shore]

nah, im too dumb for this highspeed stuff, but i will get it with luck

[marble berry]

did you find the config file I mentioned?

lol. I logged into my updated server and apparently I'm dead

or was..

[quartz shore]

i think i did, everything is different for me and still nothing, might have to do more reasearch and then post it somewhere

[marble berry]

damn. looks like I lost all my hotbars

[tulip bronze]

noice this works, wish i saw this before I reinstall the server but eh

[somber stirrup]

Could someone tell me if the server console accepts commands? or how can i view how many players are on the server

[vagrant turtle]

no, server console does not accept commands. only way to tell how many are in the server, is to go to the server screen with your client and select the server, let it get the stats, and it will show

[somber stirrup]

thanks

[young bolt]

so interesting issue, when I load onto an experimental with my update 7 save file i get a network timeout, when I do just a basic map no time out

[manic hatch]

did your save have mods?

on update 7

[young bolt]

nope vanilla

seems its the same issues others are having lol

[dusk flame]

Can confirm, just got this too. Fresh build, no mods.

[dusk flame]

Restarting the server clears this up.

[young bolt]

ill try restarting again

restarted and the same issue lol

[fossil stump]

woot, just checked my server, 6 hours later it's still going happily and it's running smooth as butter too 😄

[young bolt]

yeah yeah rub it in 😛

mines running fine I just cant get into it XD

[trail charm]

i had the same issue i increased the Connection Timeout to a higher value and now instead of the TICK conection timeout i got the Invalid Authentication Token error

[young bolt]

i think thats what im goiug to have to try

[trail charm]

but i can't figure yet the token error...

[young bolt]

how did you increase the timeout?

[trail charm]

in Engine.ini add this 2 line

[young bolt]

rgr

didnt adjust it for me still timing out at 30

[sturdy gust]

Try setting the following in Game.ini too:

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
ConnectionTimeout=180.0
InitialConnectTimeout=120.0

[loud minnow]

well no issue all day for me on a 800h save so far no connection issue working fine and server hasn't crash all day so good so far 😎 ... server is using around 4.6GB of ram on this large save

[sturdy gust]

That's awesome! 😄

[young bolt]

im going to try adding that into game ini then im going to try reinstalling update 7 and then forcing it to update 8

[loud minnow]

hey i know that name your the one that made the docker image huh lol..

[sturdy gust]

Hah, that's me 🙂

[loud minnow]

thanks for the image btw working fine on docker running debian here

[young bolt]

neither worked to extend the time, im going to redownload update 7

[sturdy gust]

Always glad to hear it! 😄 I usually check in when a new release drops, in case people are having issues

[sturdy gust]

Damn, that sucks. How are you hosting it?

[young bolt]

on my server in my living room

[warped fractal]

Is anyone else having issues with vehicles. When i get in a vehicle the console spams something about no audio device then crashes. I have to reload the save afterwards.

[sturdy gust]

Ah, sorry I meant whether you were hosting it on Linux, as well as which command-line arguments you were using. Did it work prior to the update?

[young bolt]

windows, and I have one server running my map on update 7, cloned the server for update 8 copied the map over to load, didn't work, loaded a new map worked ust fine

[fossil stump]

U mad Johnny? 🤣

[young bolt]

never XD

[fossil stump]

I had to use "nohup" to run it instead of my systemd service config, but I might try and fix that tonight

At my real job now

And playing with more servers...

[loud minnow]

you can send me your save and i can upload to my server see if i can run it if you want

[young bolt]

its all good, im going to just start a fresh load its only 120hrs in anyways

[fast ocean]

anyone seeing performance issues with the linux dedicated?

[loud minnow]

no issues here at all working fine on and old update 7 save

but it all depens on hardware running on a 3950X 64gb 34666 ram kit

[fast ocean]

same hardware I've been using, i9 with 128G

10900K

[loud minnow]

ohh wait you said linux

[fast ocean]

just seeing some frame lapses ever few seconds

no it's a seperate box

same config I've used for a year or so now, was just wondering if anyone else was seeing any issues on the new branch

[loud minnow]

then you should be fine then.. and the DS are using way less ram than update 7 the server is using 4.6GB on a big 800h save but when i load the game client side on my main right 5950X 128gb, 3090 is using around 7.5GB for the same save.. so that some improvements from the devs on DS which is good imo

[fast ocean]

it's running as a systemd service with the packet router disabled

[loud minnow]

but no performance issue from what i can see on debian using docker image

[fast ocean]

I'm running Debian as well but it's running native not through docker

what kernel you running if you don't mind me asking

[fast ocean]

maybe I'll try a kernel update. I've shutdown everything else and it's not using nearly enough resources to have an issue

cool thanks, I'll patch the kernel maybe there is a low level issue

[fossil stump]

I've had some hitching, but haven't looked into it yet

Also running native Debian, Epyc 7F32, so it's not a speed issue.

[loud minnow]

like the server been up all day today no crashes etc.. not saying there isn't bug as just from trying it out i think the hypertubes are bugged but idk lumen looks pretty cool tho

no lumen

lumen on high

[lime adder]

quick question, running experimental on my Epic account (saves messing with my Steam EAV7 version) and I've updated the experimental dedicated server to the new UE so it runs, for testing, I copied my EA save into the Experimental, all works and I can play, but, I can only seem to have 'fly mode' 'god mode' and stuff from the 'New Game' from the main menu, like single local player, I can't make tweaks to use the options while I'm on my Dedicated server, is this by design, or am I overlooking something?

[loud minnow]

what are you trying to do exactly????... like your tying to use fly mode etc on dedicated server???

from what i can see you CAN use advance settings on dedicated servers but have to go into the manage save and make sure to check enable advance settings before you load it

[spare orbit]

sure you can

[loud minnow]

i dont see an option on the ingame menu maybe i missed it lol

[spare orbit]

here

so you need to have admin access to the server

because you need to load the save with the settings enabled

[loud minnow]

ooohhh i see so yeah missed it lol

[spare orbit]

(no idea if they work, i just know they are there xD)

[loud minnow]

lol

[forest anchor]

anyone having issues starting satisfactory server on ubuntu server 22.04 ? i tryed like 10 times and it wont start been trying to start the new experimental build but ya

[loud minnow]

running fine on debian here no issues but should be the same anyways

i used this docker img hub.docker.com/r/wolveix/satisfactory-server and works like a charm no issues as long as you do your ports etc

[spare orbit]

"works" on our ubuntu. but isnt really stable and we crashed it few times in just 30 mins

but starting works perfect xD

[loud minnow]

i have a big test save 800hour of play time im in southern california no crahses so far.. if you want to test it out here is my server address:server.korneya.com port: default so far is working fine 4.6GB of ram usage for this save

[forest anchor]

anyone use lgsm by chance ? cuz i think its cuz its trying to use unreal 4 and not 5

[loud minnow]

im pretty sure all those server manager are not going to be updated to use the new execuation file "UE4Server-Linux-Shipping" to "UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping"

[torn finch]

I had to install the experimental dedicated server to a different directory than the steamcmd steamapps folder, and delete the old server config file for it to work on win 11 arm

its the one ending in .(your port used here)

now i have separate u8 and u7 servers, with some issues of trying to share config, but it runs. not stable at all compared to u7. me and a friend on a new save crashed it with 20 nuke obelisks.

tho win 11 arm isnt officially supported in any way so.

then i just set up the server like it was a fresh install (connect, load save, set pw, etc.)

[sharp bison]

if I have the game through Epic, is there a way to get the linux dedicated server?

[loud minnow]

yeah can have the game on epic, steam it dont matter where you buy it you can play on any dedicated server as long as you set it up lol

[sharp bison]

all the info I can see for installing it on linux uses steamcmd

[loud minnow]

you can buy on steam and your friend can have it on epic both of you can play on the same server it dont matter where you buy the game and read this and google and youtube are your friends https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[sharp bison]

setting it up is the issue. I got the dedicated server addon from EGS but it is very clearly a Windows server, which is fair enouugh because I downloaded it on Windows

I don't see a way to make Epic give me the Linux server

[loud minnow]

why dont you just go on youtube and type "how to set up a satisfactory dedicated server on linux" and watch those to get an idea as i cant explain on how to do it as there are many ways to set up one...

[sharp bison]

I know how to set it up. I've been using linux for decades. What I don't have is the actual linux server for the game and if possible I would rather avoid buying it again on Steam

[loud minnow]

????.....

you DONT need to buy ANYTHING to run it on linux lol... just use this command steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit of course this is just the basic wiki command idk if is going to work for you...

read the WIKI people https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[sharp bison]

I don't think steamcmd will be very useful for me as I have the game through Epic

[loud minnow]

LOL... It DONT MATTER IF YOU HAVE ON EPIC!!!!!!! you can still join even if you have the game on EPIC....

[neon rapids]

Is that number 1690800 supposed to be the latest version number? If not, what is it?

[loud minnow]

is not is from the WIKI

[neon rapids]

Yeah I see it on the Wiki too, but the Wiki also says Update 5

[loud minnow]

is the basic command on the wiki of course you will need to change that

well yeah common sense to change that

lol

[neon rapids]

Should I change to 238433 then?

[lapis gazelle]

1690800 is the steam ID for the satisfactory dedicated server

[neon rapids]

Nvm, looks like a steam APP_ID

[graceful flicker]

On a dedicated server restart, will it update to the latest Update8 by itself (its in experimental), or am I missing something? 🙂

[lapis gazelle]

Anybody know if there's a way to load a particular sav file via a command line statement on a linux server?

[loud minnow]

steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit update 7 steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental validate +quit update 8

[loud minnow]

just use the in-game manger to upload save to the server

[lapis gazelle]

but I wanna make robots do it

[sharp bison]

ok, with you now. I didn't realise the dedicated server was available separately of having a Satisfactory licence

that makes much more sense

[hearty knoll]

Launching dedicated servers instantly crash

[lapis gazelle]

how big is your sav file?

[hearty knoll]

Just launching it on steam crashes it before it even starts

[loud minnow]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[hearty knoll]

That’s after verifying game files

[loud minnow]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers read this first

[hearty knoll]

I meet all the requirements

[loud minnow]

no i mean READ The whole thing and it tells you how to correctly start it up

[hearty knoll]

It works fine on U7 is my point

U8 crashes on launch

[lapis gazelle]

the plot thickens

[hearty knoll]

Yeah

[lapis gazelle]

Linux server?

[hearty knoll]

Windows

[lapis gazelle]

look for your log files

[loud minnow]

make sure your using new execuation file "UE4Server-Linux-Shipping" to "UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping"

[hearty knoll]

I am

[loud minnow]

well then google is your friend lol.. as there is no way for us to fix it your going to have to find something works for you as all set up are different etc.. you can post the logs to see what going on but beside that your on your own there...

[sharp bison]

are there any rough guidelines of data rates per player on the server?

I assume pretty small but best to check

[neon rapids]

Are these concerning? For some reason I can't seem to get my server to show in the connection list in game.

[loud minnow]

if its an old save maybe thats was causing the problem... honestly havent seen that error myself

[neon rapids]

After restarting it, that error seems to have gone away.

But now I'm getting this, even after adding the extra two lines to Game.ini and Engine.ini:

[loud minnow]

that just the basic timout error... meaning your server didnt respond back to your join request

you can try increasing the timout time see if it helps but i've never done that even on big saves

[neon rapids]

Yeah, that's what the two lines I added were supposed to do. But I still get the error 😦

[loud minnow]

if you want you can send me your save to try it out and see if it works on my server if it does then is not the save file

and it has to do with your server set up..

i never had to change the timeout settings personally on any save but i do run on my own hardware

you can try posting the logs also to see if there anything wrong...

[neon rapids]

Sure, I can DM it to you if that works.

I'll check the logs later, but I imagine it'd just say something about the same error.

[loud minnow]

yeah DM the save

[rapid tulip]

I had this problem earlier

wipe the install folder

[neon rapids]

I installed the Experimental binary to a different folder than the regular version

[rapid tulip]

tried updating from stable to experimental, was getting the same error

oh

are permissions in order?

[neon rapids]

What permissions wouldn't be? I have it set up as a systemd service.

I edited the satisfactory.service file to use the Experimental path instead of the regular one.

[rapid tulip]

mind posting that service file?

[neon rapids]

steam@satisfactory-server:~$ sudo cat /etc/systemd/system/satisfactory.service

[rapid tulip]

your working directory

add ExperimentalSatisfactoryDedicatedServer

and

add -multihome=192.168.x.x

at the end of ExecStart

[loud minnow]

your save work fine btw so is something with your set up

[neon rapids]

This is on GCP, so I connect via public IP.

Is that still relevant?

[rapid tulip]

its not then

if its not homelab don't add it

do change the workingdir

and dont forget to daemon-reload

[neon rapids]

Will let you know later if it works.

Ty

[rapid tulip]

np

[neon rapids]

FYI the Nice=-19 line I added in helped a lot with my performance. Not sure if other people have found that trick or not yet.

That was on Update 7 though.

[rapid tulip]

probably if you're running a couple of things on the side with it, higher priority will help ofc

[neon rapids]

Added this but it still didn't fix 😦

Gonna call it a night, might just have to rebuild the VM later.

[lilac pine]

not sure if game issue or dedicated server issue... but this was not happening prior to update 8

also this was not happening prior to update 8

[sharp bison]

oh a fellow GCP user

[lilac pine]

GCP?

[sharp bison]

the connectivity test says I should be able to connect via these firewall rules but Satisfactory says timeout

😔

Google Cloud Platform

I have a credit so I figure what better use than a dedi

[loud minnow]

it seems like hypertubes are buggy can confirm also

but dont know if it has to do with old save being converted to update 8 causing that issue or if also happens on new saves

[sharp bison]

should I expect to be able to connect to a server that doesn't have any save loaded? the wiki page made it sound like I can begin a game after connecting, via the server manager

[loud minnow]

yeah you should be able to

after you connect you can select the starting location or load an old save to it etc

[sharp bison]

hrm

nothing but timeout errors from my client

I can see the traffic arriving on my server so it's not a firewall thing

[crystal eagle]

been happening to me all the time on my server and after a few attempts my game crashes

[sharp bison]

aha

ipv6 was borking it

[sharp bison]

I fixed this exact error with a server also on GCP by adding the multihome argument with the box's ipv4 interface to the start args in the service file

everything immediately worked

[median venture]

I can’t seem to get update 8

[compact tiger]

are you on steam or epic?

because on steam you need to opt into the "beta" in the game's properties page

idk how to get on experimental on epic though

[small skiff]

Hi,
I am playing in a dedicated server now for a while and noticed that the performance gets worse and worse with growing playtime/runningtime.
I noticed one thing in this time since the monster update… on the worldmap there are monster drops stacking up all over the world because of posion fog an fighting mobs… since they respawn in a given time this items get more and more if they didnt get lootet… since this seems to happen even if a player isnt near the mobs i assume there are lootable items all over the world getting generated in a stable rate causing performace issues… could this be a thing ?

[crystal eagle]

have they changed the command for the dedicated server save interval FG.AutosaveInterval xxx does not seem to work any more

[cloud swan]

Just wondering, if i took a multiplayer sesssion save, and ran it on a DS, can i go back to a multiplayer session with that save if the DS isn't working out?

[cloud swan]

i decided to go with the fuck around and find out method. i found out that you can migrate saves really easily baack and forth.

[loud minnow]

No issues like this on my own hardware so pretty sure has to do with performance of your hardware

[cloud swan]

yo ace, specs? just curious

[small skiff]

It is definitly not an Hardware issue because it depends on the playtime of the save

[deep turret]

you could edit the save to delete these stacks

[small skiff]

Hm okay how? The only thing that i can think of is load the save in single Player an remove it… or creative

[cloud swan]

Yeah, i don't think it's a harware issue either, my server has 8 cores, 64gb of ram and a dedicated gpu. and i still have throttled performance after a couple hours logged in.

[visual onyx]

Dedi servers can't really multithread so individual cores need to be solid

[cloud swan]

This makes sense, tbh i don't feel like developing a benchmark test suite so i'll just take this as gospel

[stone olive]

How do i fix this crash?

[deep turret]

there is fscit calculator for that

[deep turret]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

[frosty gale]

do you fix that so server is running on newest version?

[neon rapids]

The public IPv4 address?

[deep turret]

if you are using GCP hosted server with ipv4 the ipv4 address is basically a public address

(or else you would have multiple ip with additionnal special local network subscriptions I suppose, I dont know how GCP works for that, but it certainly isnt default)

or GCP is only giving gate ipv4 addresses for compatibility only

in which case you may better use ipv6 for your server

[loud minnow]

My hardware I run it on a 3950x and 64 3466 ram kit with no issues at all

[deep turret]

how big is your save though

[loud minnow]

My test save is 800h

[cloud swan]

Yeah see, with that kind of spec i don't thik it's fair to just say "it's not a hardware issue", you don't exactly have a standard rig

most people are running their shit off an old laptop or their last gaming rig

[deep turret]

my old gaming rig had 128GB RAM

(I'm still using it but with 64GB from it now, I used the other half for something else)

[loud minnow]

the issue here is IPC and most people on here that have issue are runnin on old hardware.. with low single thread performace.. an dalso 128GB of DDR3 is not the same at 64GB of DDR4 cant compare 1600Mhz to 3466mhz the bandwith is not the same...

[deep turret]

I have roughly 50GBps of RAM bandwidth

and it wasnt addressed to me, I was just joking about my "old gaming rig"

5 year old pc

[loud minnow]

as long as is a modern cpu with high IPC you wont have issues beside games bugs but thats something else....

[cloud swan]

Fair statement, i don't disagree. just wanted to point that out, which you seem aware of already 🙂

[mystic rover]

Hello guys!. when i updated dedicated server beta experimental occurred this message. then i setting timeout setting 120 sec. but still same message.
can i help me ?

Server log is this. i think connection client to server. but i don't know why timeout message occurred.

[frosty gale]

Get this when i connected to the server. (Pterodactyl) how to fix?

[loud minnow]

ive dont a lot of testing yesterday and can tell you that update 7 save work fine and server are using less ram than update 7

this game uses more than one core but is still very single threaded heavy

[cloud swan]

Is, is that arch?

[loud minnow]

no debian

[cloud swan]

fair enough, i was gunna make jokes 😛

[loud minnow]

that is your basic timeout screen meaning your server didnt respond to your request

[mystic rover]

maybe same problem with me

[mystic rover]

why didnt respond? my server port opend 15000, 15777, 7777 udp

[frosty gale]

here too

[loud minnow]

because is not set up correctly... you can post the logs to see what wrong but beside that is something with your server set up

[neon rapids]

The service doesn't seem to start properly if I add multihome=<publicIP> to the end of the ExecStart line.

But also the server doesn't know about that public IP (probably behind a router) so I tried setting it to its only eth0 IP, and the systemd service starts, but now I can't connect to it from in-game at all. Just shows as offline.

[frosty gale]

@loud minnow

any who can see whts the problem is?

[loud minnow]

i can see you ran your comand line Command Line: ?listen -Port=25570 -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 -multihome=0.0.0.0 and you made sure to open those ports correct??? from the logs the server start up fine and even loaded the world but when you tried to connect the server takes way to long to respond if this a provider and not your own hardware you can increase the timeout time see if it helps but it seems like your having a network issue...

[frosty gale]

Think i open the ports right yes. I follow this tutorial on how: https://youtu.be/poOhxK4iS80?t=233

[loud minnow]

Ohh you using pterodactyl yeah idk how you port forward on that app.. honestly all the people who use that app on here always have issues I used it before I personally don’t like I prefer keeping it simple with a simple docker img and Linux and server is working fine no issues

Here is the docker img I use and worked great hub. docker.com/r/wolveix/satisfactory-server

[frosty gale]

ahaa i understand. I can maybe login and open them

manually

[deep turret]

even people mentionned changing the launching script location or what
I personally wrote my own satisfactoryd.service and set satisfactory in its own dedicated home with steamCMD :

and I just updated to update 8 without anything else to do

it just worked and connected the same client config out of the steamCMD update

btw update 8 server manager seems to way better track servers's state and update itself

it's nice to see

it really does updatre from offline to idle to on going to other states

[young bolt]

new day same timeout issue on a completly different machine XD

[deep turret]

ok, I redacted a bit more what I did, and I'll push it here so you guys can get inspired by it if you want

⚠️ Note it does NOT include any port forwarding NOR firewall setup ⚠️
This work is under GPL version 3+, on behalve of @deep turret discord user

[sharp bison]

Internal

[neon rapids]

Yeah, unfortunately if I set that then I can no longer see the server from across the internet.

[sharp bison]

Wat. Um

Firewall rules set up in vpc networks?

I ran bmon on the instance to verify that I got a burst of traffic each time I tried to connect to the server from my game client

The other thing I was going to try was just disabling ipv6 entirely via sysctl so that might be another option for you but being unable to bind to the local interface and work properly is kind of worrying by itself

[deep turret]

with updating protocol warning advice update (taking down server instances first)

[visual onyx]

is anyone having issues with people not even recognising the server? Using epic games dedi server and I've done everything I'm supposed to. Firewall stuff, port forwarding, using public ip for others to join me idek anymore

[neon rapids]

It was working fine before with U7

Nvm, I got it.

[sharp bison]

Epic

(games)

[neon rapids]

For other people getting the network connection issue when joining a server, this is how I fixed it:

Setting -multihome=0.0.0.0 seems to force IPv4 but still listen on all interfaces.

[sharp bison]

Yes

[young bolt]

now how do i do that for windows XD

[fossil stump]

just found another set of factories that weren't doing anything

[sharp bison]

Apparently not all messages go to the journal. I was looking there but it was the main server log file that clued me in talking about new ipv6 routes starting

[fossil stump]

bunch of refineries doing oil to plastic/rubber and hevy fuel oil

[iron ridge]

I've lost itt... Anyone give me the link to report bugs... causeee

not sure the server should be trying to play audio files for the sugar cubes 😉

[valid harbor]

Thank, for the multihome. It solve my connection timeout

[neon rapids]

So, am I just doing something wrong here or did this change?

Trying to troubleshoot some rubber-banding.

[young bolt]

not sure if I can do the multihome with windows or how to go about doing that, tried to add it to the startup but didnt seem to do anything

[neon rapids]

I assume you have like a .exe or a shortcut that you click on to start the server?

[young bolt]

yes I have created a .bat for the server

[neon rapids]

This is what the Wiki says. Looks like you can do it on Windows too.

[young bolt]

thats what I did

[neon rapids]

What I was thinking at first was to right click the shortcut and add -multihome=0.0.0.0 to the command invocation.

But with a .bat it might be different. Is it a custom launch script? Are you able to share it here?

[young bolt]

FactoryServer.exe -⁠ServerQueryPort=15002 -⁠BeaconPort=15003 -Port=7778 -multihome=192.168.1.129 -log -unattended

thats all thats in there

all ports are forwarded to the right machine

[neon rapids]

Try changing to -multihome=0.0.0.0

[young bolt]

trying that now

didnt do anything, on local or external IP

[neon rapids]

Damn, still the same error?

[young bolt]

yes still same timeout

its a fresh map so no update 7 bugs

[neon rapids]

Did you edit Game.ini or Engine.ini by chance?

[young bolt]

tried that yesterday with no luck, have since done a fresh instal

[valid harbor]

Nvm the multihome solve me the connection to the server management but now i got a timeout error when i create or load a seesion....

[neon rapids]

It did that to me the first time I loaded a session, but then I tried again and it worked.

Seems to work consistently now.

Also, IDK if anyone else is getting the same effect, but my dedicated server seems to run smooth as butter now.

[young bolt]

its weird cause I very rarely am able to get in so im not sure why its not working

[neon rapids]

If I play just regular non-server, I get a lot of performance jitter. But connecting to my server is amazing.

[neon rapids]

Maybe Windows is still trying to do some IPv6 nonsense under the hood. Not sure, sorry.

[young bolt]

no worries, I may just have to go through and disable IPV6 on the machine XD

[neon rapids]

In other news, does anyone know if setting the Network Quality for a server changed? This isn't working for some reason:

[young bolt]

IPV6 disabled on the home router with no avail

[visual onyx]

is it easier to host a server through steam or epic? Only been having issues with the epic dedi tools

[valid harbor]

steam for me is easier.

[neon rapids]

So the server and your gaming PC are sitting on the same internal network, correct?

[young bolt]

yep same as my U7 server

[visual onyx]

spent hours to no avail I'm gonna end up buying it on steam just to have an easier time

[young bolt]

just use steamcmd

[neon rapids]

Strange that you'd be having network issues with essentially a direct connection to the server.

[visual onyx]

can I use steamcmd with the epic dedi tool?

[young bolt]

yeah the servers are in the living room

[visual onyx]

yeah I can connect since I'm on the same network, it's getting people outside my house to join

not sure what ur on about ipv6 for, I didn't even look at that when setting up

I just used the ipv4 address

[neon rapids]

For whatever reasons IPv6 seems to be the root of a lot of the issues for many people.

[young bolt]

because there seems to be issues with the server doing some ipv6 stuff in the background

[valid harbor]

Don't work for me. Reboot server , recreate session in solo and upload but nothing. always timeout

[neon rapids]

FWIW I changed to multihome=0.0.0.0 but I still kept the two extra lines in Game.ini and Engine.ini as well. Might need both things.

[visual onyx]

bit concerned now because I didn't realise I needed to use it for anything, how are people using it to set up? I'm on epic windows if that's relevant

[young bolt]

for me, windows server, windows client, update 7 works no problem, update 8 connection timeout, move update 8 to a completly different server still same timeout

yeah im going to add those two lines and see if it helps but it didnt yeaterday

[neon rapids]

I have mine set up in Google Cloud with a high-compute Machine Type. Then I have a Discord bot that runs in a shared server for me and my coop buddies. They can just type /start to start the server and /stop to stop it. So that way when no one is playing they can shut it off and we can save on cloud costs.

[visual onyx]

interesting

[neon rapids]

It hasn't been bad at all, except still CPU bottlenecked. But U8 seems to have improved that a lot.

https://github.com/Cerkoryn/FICSIT-Assistant

[young bolt]

added the extra 2 lines for the timeout, still hitting 30 and timing out

[neon rapids]

You have all three ports open and correct as well?

[young bolt]

yep

[neon rapids]

There's not a firewall in between? Or maybe a host firewall on either client or server blocking one of the ports?

[visual onyx]

I'm way too unskilled to use other stuff, I'll work on having friends join the server from outside my ip first

are public ips the same on every device?

[young bolt]

.> just let me in and game crash

[neon rapids]

My hunch is that IP can hit the server, but the server tries to respond on one of the 3 ports and it gets blocked or dropped somewhere. And then the client sits waiting to hear on that port from the server, but it never comes.

[spare orbit]

probably the new engine version.
the old one bound default to ipv4, now it goes ipv6 if the pc have it. but often, especially in data centers and firewalled places, ipv6 is not fully co figured or blocked completely.
so you dont get a connection.
telling the server to bind to ipv4 is the solution. (or disable ipv6 on the system) router doesnt work, because the os still thinks it has ipv6

[civic lantern]

Zerotier solves all of that, it’s great for friend-area networking

[neon rapids]

No, public IP is what would be on the outside of your home router. You usually only get one of those and that's what you pay your ISP for.

[civic lantern]

And yes you need ipv6 off in the server OS or to specify multihome to ipv4 ip

[visual onyx]

yeah when a friend tries to add the server it just shows no info or confirmation that they found my server. I've checked firewall settings and nothing is blocked and the console does spam a bunch of lines when a friend tries to join so something must be happening

[neon rapids]

On Google Cloud I actually pay $2 or something a month to makes sure they don't change it on me though lol.

[visual onyx]

got it

[civic lantern]

Oliverous, that might be you have one port open but not all 3

[spare orbit]

nothing blocked is probably not enough, because port shouldnt be default open, so you need to open them

[visual onyx]

I added port forwarding on my router, I did some weird commands on powershell to allow ports and things which might be what you mean

[young bolt]

the hell

[visual onyx]

I can join the server on localhost but thats the furthest I've goten

[young bolt]

its something to do with the server pausing??

[spare orbit]

powershell is for the pc firewall, not the router

[neon rapids]

There's a setting for that in Server Manager. Does changing that help?

[young bolt]

need to confrim

thats what I changed, instant load

[visual onyx]

sorry I meant router and powershell seperately

[spare orbit]

easiest question because i did that mistake before.
did you open tcp or udp? xD

because i opened as usual tcp

[visual onyx]

on the actual router all I've done is port forward, I'll look at firewall settings on the actual router in that case

[spare orbit]

to find out, the server needs udp

[visual onyx]

this is what happens when I try and join my server hrough public ip

probably leaked something oh well

[loud minnow]

lol even if you did nothing can happen what people join your world just change the port lol...

[visual onyx]

true

anyone know how to get passed this? At least something comes up on the console when I add the public IP server

must be close to having it work

[loud minnow]

like how people are always worried on showing their local ip or even their public ip.... even if you do if they dont know what port you have open and if you do have opened ports im pretty sure you would be smart enough to put a password on the app that is using those ports

[visual onyx]

this is what I've done on the router itself, ip address is same as dedicated pc

[spare orbit]

server still binds ipv6

[visual onyx]

ah

how do I go about sorting on the ipv6?

[spare orbit]

set multihome to 0.0.0.0

also, ne reason to censor local ips xD

[visual onyx]

gonna sound dumb but I'm not sure what multihome is, thought that was just something linux users used

[visual onyx]

yeah yeah fair enough 😭

[spare orbit]

start the server with -multihome=0.0.0.0

[visual onyx]

I can't write directly into the console, I use the epic version

someone mentioned to get steamcmd if that even works with epic

oh wait I can do it through the game right

[spare orbit]

a wait, the normal clients server and no dedicated?

[visual onyx]

I'm using a dedicated PC in my house yeah

currently using my gaming pc to connect to the dedi through my public IP, I can do it through localhost which proves that it at least is running properly

[spare orbit]

but you have a dedicated server or not?

[visual onyx]

also sorry for using this as tech support, too many hours too little progress 💀

[visual onyx]

yes

it's running and works as I can connect using the local ip

[spare orbit]

so you should start that with a starting script

[visual onyx]

just doesn't work when friends try and join using my public ip

[visual onyx]

yeah server is running, world works and everything as I connect through localhost on another pc

[loud minnow]

yeah so is a port forwarding only issue then....

[spare orbit]

no i mean, add multihome to the script

[visual onyx]

I've done this for each of the 3 ports

[spare orbit]

yeah, either do that port forwarding for ipv6 or force the server to v4

you would need local ipv6 addresses

[visual onyx]

on this?

port mapping only shows ipv4

[loud minnow]

LOL... i can see how both of you are confusing each other....

[visual onyx]

I'm so dumb with how this works I'm so sorry in advanced 😭

I already feel really bad trying to get a solution here

[spare orbit]

the server binds to v6, so any connection will use that. but the external portmapping is for v4, so it doesnt work

[zinc moon]

1577 instead of 15777? maybe typo?

[visual onyx]

OH

[young bolt]

seems that disableing the IPV6 settings on my server may have fixed it

[visual onyx]

whoops let me fix that rq

[spare orbit]

when you cant map v6, you need to disable it, or just tell the server to use v4

[visual onyx]

YESSS I think that bloody typo was the issue

will confirm in a moment

fml man of course that's the issue, thank you so much @zinc moon

[spare orbit]

would be strange. because you opened v4 ports and the server binds to v6

[loud minnow]

LOL....

[visual onyx]

I've just joined through my public ip

what a stupid I'm so mad now

[loud minnow]

figure it was a port forwarding issue as you said the server was running and you can connect localy

[spare orbit]

ah, that doesnt mean ypu joined from public ip

[visual onyx]

It went from unrecognised to popping up and letting me connect

I'll get a friend to try it, but I really think that's it fixed

because before I could only join doing localhost

[spare orbit]

now im curious how you can go through closed ports

because that shouldnt be possible

[visual onyx]

😃

who knows I certainly dont

[visual onyx]

yeah guess you were onto that as well then

[loud minnow]

like my public ip is 75.85.199.1 so in the in-game manager people that want to join my server just types my public 75.85.199.1 and the port im using to join the server that how it works... not you can set up domain name so instead of typying my public ip people that want to join just type server.korneya.com on the address and port im using for the game 15777 for example

[spare orbit]

yeah but the server uses ipv6 and not v4, so there shouldnt be any open port because you opened the v4 ones

[loud minnow]

im using the same image working fine...

tested on and old save and new save

[quartz lotus]

well id assume it works

[loud minnow]

it will work also even if you dont specify the -multihome argument but you can add it just to always force ipv4 just incase it is using ipv6

[young bolt]

so I disabled some of the IPV6 setttings I could find on my machine(which seemed to help since multihome didnt) was able to get it, now back tot he same timeout error

I love troubleshooting XD

[spare orbit]

yeah but the shell said the server uses v6, so im confused why its possible to join with v4

that shouldnt be possivle, especially because only v4 ports are forwarded

[loud minnow]

it normally uses ipv4 but there is cases for some reason it would try to use ipv6 as it could be enable on the machine etc.. so you can then run the argument -multihome=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to force it to use ipv4

as stated on the wiki -multihome=<ip address> Bind the server process to a specific IP address rather than all available interfaces aka ipv6

[spare orbit]

the new engine version defaults to v6 now

and the shell scrennshot shows v6 only

[stone olive]

well, still it crashes right after start and i am trying to run it on the latest experimental version. I also updated the pterodactyl egg...

[neon rapids]

@visual onyx what log is this from?

[frosty gale]

Ahaa understand. Have same problem

[visual onyx]

it was from the epic games dedicated server app, I've fixed the server though unless you were just wondering

it was because I did a typo port forwarding 15777 (I wrote 1577)

[neon rapids]

Ah, gotcha. Was curious if this log output might help @young bolt troubleshoot his issue.

[visual onyx]

oh did he get the same one?

I went onto my router settings by doing the ip and password from the bottom of my router, went to port mapping and did the following

you also need to do one for 7777 and 15000

query, beacon and whatever the last one is called

[young bolt]

ive disabled v6 on my network adapter on my machine as well as server pausing and im able to get in

[visual onyx]

dope

[young bolt]

next test will be to re enable pausing

[spare orbit]

btw

why did you use port range for a single port? xD

[spare orbit]

should be query, beacon and the game itself

[visual onyx]

my friend told me to do it 😭

[spare compass]

Help, updating my server to 8 and I get this error and it never loads

[loud minnow]

if you want you can send me your save and see if it works on my server as is running right now with another test save loaded and if the save loads fine then your server is not set up correctly

[spare compass]

It was working just fine before updating

[loud minnow]

maybe delete the server and re do it again and just re upload the save to it see if that helps beside that idk google the issue

cant tell if thats and save issue or server issue as you cant really tell from that screen shot

[spare compass]

Hmm

more errors

[vital ibex]

Question: Anyone run into issues where the server works fine on public but doesn't show online when switched to experimental?

I switched it back to public and it showed back up.

[loud minnow]

that because expirimenta switch the execuation file from "UE4Server-Linux-Shipping" to "UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping"

maybe that could be an issue and make sure using -multihome=<ip address> and see if that helps

[vital ibex]

Running a win server. Current launch param -log -unattended -nosteam -multihome=147.135.31.88 -Port=7777 -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000

[spare orbit]

you dont need to specify the default ports

[vital ibex]

Sorry I thought you were talking to me.

[spare orbit]

also didnt the wiki say everything after log and unattended gets ignored?

i think there was something

[loud minnow]

yes that is correct

[vital ibex]

For custom ports

IMPORTANT! If you want to use custom ports as shown in the Command line options, you must put those arguments BEFORE the -log -unattended part:

[spare orbit]

yeah nd you have those two first, so everything else is gone

[loud minnow]

yeah before aren't yours after

it should be -multihome=147.135.31.88 -Port=7777 -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 log -unattended

[spare orbit]

btw, what is nosteam

[loud minnow]

you dont need it

nothing happens if you add it

[spare orbit]

so it has no use?

[loud minnow]

depends on the game etc...

[spring lotus]

Greetings, I need help with something

we just downloaded the update 8 with a friend but he cannot join me

[loud minnow]

thats no an error screen is the basic timeout screen post the logs to see the actual error.. but that screen just means your server didnt respond to your request and it timeout and you get that pop up

[spring lotus]

is there a way to fix this?
or
anything I can do?

as it was working a few days back

[loud minnow]

but you have to make sure to change the executable as the name of that has change on U5 and also make sure you using the -multihome argument and see if that helps

[vital ibex]

No joy still after changing launch params. Reverted to public, I can see it, back to exp again.

[spare compass]

i still cant mine to even start, the service starts errors and hangs

[vital ibex]

It changed? I must be missing something. Mine is still FactoryServer.exe

I just noticed that the server does not appear to be generating a log on exp, but is on public

Looks like I need a .NET update.

[young storm]

I started the game again with almost 1500 hours of playtime and I noticed something right away and it said that if you build something with no construction costs you don't get the materials back when you tear them down that's true but not if I tear it down me it again

[loud minnow]

yeah like i said if you did everything then is a problem with your server and for that nobody cant help you and google is your friend lol

[ornate oar]

I have a new server that I just set up. When I go to Server Manager and use the "Upload Save" and choose my save (which is on my computer) and want to add it (with advanced settings). As I press "Upload" I am taken to singleplayer on that save... What am I doing wrong?

[spare compass]

tried deleting the serversettings file still nothhing

[loud minnow]

did you tried fully deleting everyting server wise and re-installing it and try re uploading the save afterwards from the in-game server manager

[spare compass]

not yet, starting with a full system reboot, my DS is running as a truenas VM

[loud minnow]

i see...... yeah like i said before everyone set up is different the more complicated it is the more problem it will give you when updating, changing it, etc.. so nobody can really help you solve your issue as this issue is related to your particular set up... so we can only suggest thing you can try and i suggested everything i can see or the normal things... and i bet if i upload that save to my server is going to work fine.. so is not a save problem or game problem..

[spare compass]

what im worried about is it being a hardware problem, the core of my turenas server is very very old, Althon 750k, thats FX era

[loud minnow]

THATS OLD..... lol... so yeah good luck

in late game i bet that cpu struggles lol

[spare compass]

yea, but it was like $15 with board ram and a basic display adapter

ehhh since its only me on the server it actually does ok, the pc actually running the game is a 3600 and 2070

[loud minnow]

dont get your hopes up if it doesnt work i mean that cpu is only 4 core ipc is horrible compare to the recommended cpu on the wiki...

[spare compass]

yupp, 2 cores and 16gb for the VM, tbh i kinda figured this update was gonna make my server cry, though i wasnt worried about it not running at all, guess thatll just give me a reason to upgrade earlier than planned

[loud minnow]

im running this on a 3950X 3466 ram kit and limited to 8 threads and on a save with 800hours late game is using more than 50 percent of those 8 threads with single core spike so.. so that little old 750 with 4 core is not going to be a happy camper

[spare compass]

my last playthrough i was up to trains and it was still chuggin along

[loud minnow]

not saying it wont work but your milage may very like they say

but who knows now with this new update

[spare compass]

i wanna buy one of those erying boards that has a mobile 11th gen intel on it, low power and still gets over 4ghz, i only need 1-2 cores for the server so that sould be great, the rest of the stuff running on my home server could honestly run on a atom processor

[visual onyx]

would using a dedicated server for singeplayer be better than just playing singleplayer? The server could run the calculations and everythigng right

[spare compass]

biggest advantage is the server is always running, so it can farm materials and what not while your not playing, plus power savings if your worried about that

[visual onyx]

honestly I was gonna have it pause when I log off just because the dedi server gets quite loud, so I'd only use it for fps advantages

it's right next to my bed

[spare compass]

sounds like you need quiter hardware lol

[visual onyx]

maybe but was just wondering if I'd get more fps running it like that

[spare compass]

maybe a few %

[deep turret]

the same

[loud minnow]

a server wont give you more FPS lol that all client side

they only thing a server does is allows you to have the game running 24/7 and can also allow other people to play while your not playing etc..

[visual onyx]

I've seen someone get double fps, but he hosted a multiplayer game on his computer

just had a therory that the server could run the calculations while I just have to render the game

I'll do some tests anyway if I'm bothered enough

[loud minnow]

the onyl thing a server can hurt performace is whe you have a lot of rubber banding wierd stuff on visual glitches.. other people not seeing the same as you etc.. but it wont give more FPS

[visual onyx]

true

[loud minnow]

you want more FPS get a better GPU lol..

[deep turret]

its supposed to bind to both

[visual onyx]

bro ok I get it 😭

[loud minnow]

lol

just stating facts

lol

[visual onyx]

lol indeed

[spare compass]

or cpu, depends on if your gpu is being bottlenecked, granted this can be ran on a 4690k and 1060 6gb at 1080 ultra.....pre u7 anyway

[deep turret]

yes, it can, and will mostly do if both machine are as powerful and in the same local network

• when running on the client, it loads the client more, so there is less ressources/power/boost to the rendering part
• when running on client, the rendering part is not completly separated and still depends on the main thread from feeding frame informations, if the main thread is lagging it will likely do some stuttering or similar

for the second part, running both client and server on same machine can still give off more fps

[loud minnow]

it wont give you more FPS than what your gpu can handle simple as that... YEAH it can offoad some of the cpu workloads.... but in this game playing in single player and thinking ohh if i add a server i will get more fps Is incorrect no matter how you look at it...

[deep turret]

unless you run on a gtx 970, this game is at least half cpu bound
u8 is currently graphically unoptimized which means whatever settings or hardware you use, there will be some lags, but frame always depends on some cpu <-> gpu communication and it may be there that some lag is happening btw

for u7 it has been literally observed that you can get more fps by running a dedicated server, even if it is otherwise less stable (rubber-banding, crashs, unsyncing, etc..)

[deep turret]

I mean rtx 4090 dudes reports stuttering on u8 too

[loud minnow]

i have a 3090 and i still get stuttering in u8 that just the game itself... but like i said yeah if you want to nitpick go for it.. but the idea of hey im playing single player and getting 100+fps ohh let me add a server so i can get 120+fps is incorrect...

[cloud swan]

are there any server side assets? if not, then yeah. ace is right. all client.

[loud minnow]

no there isn't any assets lol

[cloud swan]

there ya go

[loud minnow]

is just handles simple packets

i know im correct stating facts like i said lol

[cloud swan]

Just out of curiosity, do you work in dev?

[loud minnow]

no but i do a lot of research and i try it myself to make sure im correct lol

[cloud swan]

Yeah for sure! Just curious 🙂

[young bolt]

didnt help setting that, I had to physically go and turn off IPV6 on the network adapter

[cyan lance]

Does anyone had the Dedicated Server running good with a large endgame save? For me the CPU Usage on 1-2 cores is really high and Belts etc stop working correctly / stutter

[shrewd kraken]

Good evening,

when i try to start my Experimental Update 8 Server i get this error:

:/home/container$ ./Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Server-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame ?listen -Port=${SERVER_PORT} -ServerQueryPort=${QUERY_PORT} -BeaconPort=${BEACON_PORT} -multihome=0.0.0.0 $(if ${DISABLE_SEASONAL}; then echo "-DisableSeasonalEvents"; fi)
/entrypoint.sh: line 73: ./Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Server-Linux-Shipping: no such file or directory

[clear lagoon]

experimental isn't on UE4, your launch script is wrong

the default launch script is this:

#!/bin/sh
UE_TRUE_SCRIPT_NAME=$(echo \"$0\" | xargs readlink -f)
UE_PROJECT_ROOT=$(dirname "$UE_TRUE_SCRIPT_NAME")
chmod +x "$UE_PROJECT_ROOT/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping"
"$UE_PROJECT_ROOT/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping" FactoryGame "$@" 

so I imagine you want to change UE4Server-Linux-Shipping to UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping in your script @shrewd kraken

[shrewd kraken]

That's exactly what I need. But where can I find this file?

I can not find the path where pterodactyl has installed Satis

[clear lagoon]

entrypoint.sh - seems like you're using some sort of docker container? so the docker image would need to be updated

[shrewd kraken]

Ah okey. the image as "EGG" I have

[clear lagoon]

Yes. They committed a change 19 hours ago for UE5 support https://github.com/parkervcp/eggs/commit/2b2b8afb9d78bd415f2eb7ce958e1363b99a5fb0

I'm not familiar with pterodactyl/eggs so I'm not sure if it's released, you should check for updates in however that works? 😅

[shrewd kraken]

Thank you for the help 😄

[loud minnow]

#dedicated-servers message

[fluid sluice]

not sure is this is the right place..
im using epic luncher, and downloaded the Satisfactory Experimental Server to play the new update 8 with my buddy, this issue is (version mismatch between game and server. Game V. 238433 and server v. 238993

not sure how to fx this

[clear lagoon]

there was an update about half an hour ago #patch-notes message

[rocky pecan]

yea the update hasn't been pushed to epic yet.

[fluid sluice]

okay thank you

[rocky pecan]

same boat as you 😄

[fluid sluice]

is there a dely goin on

or epic didnt puch it yet

push it **

[rocky pecan]

It's not pushed yet.

[supple anchor]

how much time does it usually take for it to get pushed ?

[steep flume]

Quick question since I couldn't find this in patch notes: does U8 fix deconstructing during rain crashes?

[deep turret]

assets do not do their magic on their own, they use cpu too to be rendered as they are, fps is not tied only to picture drawing

if that was the case you wouldnt get stuttering like you get in u8 right know

[cloud swan]

Yes but it also means that all of that is done on the client hardware...... that's the point.

[deep turret]

exactly all of that is done alone on the client hardware ONLY with dedicated server running aside

when you are running the game directly on the client, more than that are processed and you may get more stuttering on cpu bottleneck struggles

because more than just animation is done in the cpu event loops
that's the point

[clear lagoon]

I've only had one crash since release and it wasn't an array index out of bounds, but no guarantees yet since I haven't dismantled lots of stuff yet

[spice quarry]

Waiting on Epic Update lol

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-mr-bean-bored-waiting-gif-16962141

[dusk flame]

Agreed. We are awaiting the client update to match the server update.

[deep turret]

what do you mean ?

[clear lagoon]

update was pushed to steam (so people who use steamcmd to update dedicated server get new version) but it's not on epic, apparently
v0.8.0.1 – Build 238993 released about an hour and a half ago

[spice quarry]

Yeah, we're in limbo atm

[deep turret]

its not on the dedicated server experimental on epic ? I saw on epic it is a completly different game page

damned I thought I saw it before, where did it go

[spice quarry]

We had the server update but never got the client update

[craggy shore]

I feel you

[deep turret]

how the fuck did I even found that back in the days, I cant find it on the store nowhere

^ so this is not u8 ?

[frosty gale]

client update is out on epic

[deep turret]

how does one find this from the epic game launcher, I can't find it, looks like a nightmare

satisfactory experimental doesnt show up

[dusk flame]

Shows up for me. There are two, one for early access one for experimental

[deep turret]

it only show in library once satisfactory is bought ?

[shrewd kraken]

@clear lagoon

I just changed the startup command to UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping etc. now and it runs. Thanks again for the help 😄

[clear lagoon]

You're welcome! Good luck on MASSAGE-2(A-B)b, Pioneer.

[deep turret]

ok seems that's how it show

[shrewd kraken]

where do you host your server

[plain hollow]

Im connected to localhost, but the desync is just massive

[stiff chasm]

I'm having this same issue. Did you ever get a resolution? I also tried copying the saves in the right directory and rebooted the server, they're not showing up in the "manage saves" tab in the server manager.

[deep turret]

that's probably not a desync, I had that in u7 for a long time, and everything was fine

in some cases it just get off by 1

[plain hollow]

some cases is 100%, and when I try decorating it also takes like 2 seconds until it applies

[deep turret]

the decorating thing looks like a whole other problem

[plain hollow]

Only happens when I play on the server, and I really shouldnt have that much of a ping to localhost

[deep turret]

you dont have that much of a ping, either it works or doesnt, but if it works it's <0.2ms

[plain hollow]

what could be the problem then?

[deep turret]

#satisfactory-experimental message

[deep turret]

^

looks like it's up

[stiff chasm]

has anyone successfully uploaded a save to a server through the server manager in update 8?
