Not too poor to afford a computer and internet though?
Give the Devs their money.
How do you expect the game to be continued to be developed if everyone had the same mentality?
Put it on your wish list or request it as a present from friends and family.

[real perch]

internet? you mean the 2$ internet i have?

[clear lagoon]

Satisfactory isn't expensive. Support the creators instead of stealing game copies. We're not going to support you in playing online on illegitimate copies.

[real perch]

and PC that i got from school?

[loud minnow]

why you guys feeding the troll lol

[clear lagoon]

'cause I'm bored? XD

[loud minnow]

lol

[real perch]

you think i'm trolling you/

?*

[loud minnow]

nope

🙂

[clear lagoon]

if you're a school student you can literally do a single 4-hour job shift and afford satisfactory

[slow jackal]

definitely worth the money

for the hours you get from it

[mint junco]

Yup I've got 4100 in my save and it was an xmas present for 2021.

[slow jackal]

wow lol

[mint junco]

I'd pay the box price again for a decent dedicated server.

[clear lagoon]

^this

[mint junco]

This is the potential fix for the train the length of a rail to a junction issue.
I finagled the junction by 0.5 foundations to give the train space to switch direction then change the points.
We'll see if that works.

[deep turret]

I'm thinking this timeout issues have more to do on client side that maybe spread the connections on the multiples ips

[sharp bison]

I don't claim to know the inner workings of it. Just that switching off ipv6 works

[mint junco]

Nope doesn't fix.
This is a game breaking bug on dedicated servers for bi-directional trains.
Damn...

[clear lagoon]

stick it on the QA site ❤️

[tidal relic]

Friend of mine and I have been getting a network error upon trying to join the server. We were able to join last night, but the error did pop up and was dismissable with (seemingly) no bad effects. This time, we're both unable to connect...

[mint junco]

Already is, the image posts are to link to the QA entry :0)
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/648de98087a1e63b6cee5231

[clear lagoon]

if nobody's around to help I'll be there in a bit once I'm done cooking

[tidal relic]

Strangely enough, restarting the server has allowed me in. I still get the network error once I'm loaded in like before, though

[frank laurel]

heyo, i was wondering, did the mNumRotatingAutosaves and mAutosaveInterval settings get removed in Update8? i can no longer set how many rotating saves do I want, and the autosave interval is forced to 5 minutes as well... also FG.AutosaveInterval is not recognized anymore as a command. any idea?

[clear lagoon]

you can try setting the options in the ini. they're broken in the console

[frank laurel]

i did set them in ServerSettings.ini

should I set it in Engine.ini instead?

[clear lagoon]

I'll have to check

[clear lagoon]

It's in Engine.ini under the section [/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSession]

[frank laurel]

ok I moved them to Engine.ini, thank you, testing now

[clear lagoon]

make sure they're under the correct section. just the correct file isn't enough

[clear lagoon]

I see you're trying to connect to a local internal IP. is that intentional?

[frank laurel]

i have it as such

[tidal relic]

Yes. The server is on my local network. My friend is connecting remotely, so of course he's using my public IP

[clear lagoon]

Can you check the server console to see if it's still properly running?

Are you running it on a windows or a linux machine?

[tidal relic]

Windows. It looks mostly normal, though the last line is weirdly frozen and moves when I scroll

[clear lagoon]

Are you running U7 (early access) or U8 (experimental)?

[tidal relic]

U8. I did not get the error when I was running in U7

[frank laurel]

well, mNumRotatingAutosaves indeed works, but the autosave interval seems to be broken. it used to work on U7 dedicated server just fine, but now it's always 5 minutes, and console command doesn't work either

[royal dove]

Woohoo, got my EXP server behaving itself; now it still not accepting connections while port are open; back to square one....

[clear lagoon]

the server is also updated to U8?

[frank laurel]

it's not a tragedy, but on experimental we have a lot more crashes happening, so i wanted to save every 2 min instead of 5, cause sometimes it's a bit too much rollback

[tidal relic]

Yeah, had to install from steamcmd. It's on U8, and we've been able to play on it

[clear lagoon]

can you run this powershell command for me and provide the output:

Get-NetUDPEndPoint | Select-Object LocalAddress, LocalPort, @{Name="Process";Expression={(Get-Process -Id $_.OwningProcess).ProcessName}} | Sort-Object -Property LocalPort,Process | Where-Object{$_.Process -like "UnrealServer-Win64-Shipping"}

[tidal relic]

LocalAddress  LocalPort Process
------------  --------- -------
192.168.1.250      7777 UnrealServer-Win64-Shipping
192.168.1.250     15000 UnrealServer-Win64-Shipping
192.168.1.250     15777 UnrealServer-Win64-Shipping

[clear lagoon]

looks normal. have you tried restarting the server process?

[tidal relic]

Yeah, that allowed me in but still threw the error - but I was able to actually play. I disconnected and tried to reconnect, not able to connect and receiving the error again

[clear lagoon]

Have you added firewall rules for inbound UDP protocol ports 7777, 15000 and 15777 on the server's windows firewall?

[tidal relic]

That is a good point, let me go do that real quick

Added the rules, but still getting an error

[clear lagoon]

Hi! I have one more idea for you.
In GameUserSettings.ini, under the section [/Script/FactoryGame.FGGameUserSettings], do you have a property for mFloatValues? If yes, can you provide it to me?

If you don't have existing mFloatValues, you can set it as follows:
mFloatValues=(("FG.AutosaveInterval", 120.000000))
for a 2 minute autosave interval

[clear lagoon]

could you restart the server process after the firewall rule changes?

just to make sure

[tidal relic]

Yeah, in the midst of disconnecting to see if I can reconnect

[clear lagoon]

Tarkol: could you provide me the command line arguments you start the server with?

[tidal relic]

Just using -log -unattended -nosteam currently

[clear lagoon]

ok Tarkol, can you, before the -log -unattended part, add the following:
-multihome 192.168.1.250 ?

[tidal relic]

Yeah, waiting on it to come back up

[frank laurel]

both were set to =() i'll try adding it to float values, ty

[clear lagoon]

it's mFloatValues. I initially (mistakenly) said mIntValues. my apologies 🙂

[mint junco]

Can we have that in text so I can copy/paste please. Autosaves are not working on my server currently at all

[tidal relic]

Game crashed when I tried to join, now when I select the server without even trying to hit connect I get the timeout error

[clear lagoon]

you are connecting on the IP 192.168.1.250 right?

[tidal relic]

Yeah

[clear lagoon]

if that didn't work. can you try setting -multihome 0.0.0.0 ?

[mint junco]

I thought this might fix but it didn't.
The only solution now is to reduce the train to one carriage or extend the entire building 2 foundations to the right.

These images are stored/sorted in reverse order so start at the last one first.

The train enters the platform and is inside the points it crossed over.
It loads, switches direction, doesn't switch the points and drives down the wrong track.

This worked fine on U7 with the train the length of the track to the points.
Under U8 dedicated server it does not.

[tidal relic]

Oh I may have spoken too soon, it loaded in the server browser now. Waiting to see if I get the error once in-game

Got the error and kicked back to title screen again

[clear lagoon]

you can see the server admin screen but once you join the game you disconnect?

[tidal relic]

Yeah

[clear lagoon]

are you playing on a large save? did you log out in a vehicle?

[tidal relic]

Shouldn't be too large but I'll go check the save file. I did not log out in a vehicle

[clear lagoon]

if you'd like to try for me to connect from externally (and more importantly, with a new pawn) you can pass me the IP and join password here or in DM

[tidal relic]

Not sure what's "large" save wise, but I don't imagine 762KB is that big

Yeah one sec

[clear lagoon]

could you check the Memory(RAM) and CPU use in task manager for the server?

[tidal relic]

CPU at 0%, RAM at 3,134MB

[clear lagoon]

I'm assuming your RAM is not full at that point? just double-checking 😅

[tidal relic]

Not at all, it's got 32GB

[clear lagoon]

I'm not sure what's going on here. do you see anything interesting in the server logs when you try to connect?

[tidal relic]

Though now that I'm in task manager, I do see my uptime is pretty egregious...probably a good idea to restart the machine in a min

[clear lagoon]

is your internal IP address statically assigned or through a DHCP lease?

[tidal relic]

Static

[clear lagoon]

I'd suggest trying to reboot prior to further troubleshooting

Getting a ton of yellow messages like this, but I assumed it was normal

[clear lagoon]

Hey Quicksand, could you let us know if this solved your issue?

[clear lagoon]

That's so normal that I have the LogNavigationDirtyArea logger disabled

I posted a log for a normal successful connection earlier, one moment please (edit: that didn't include the part for getting onto the world map, nvm)

For your reference, for a successful connection after clicking 'join game' in the server console, it looks something like this:

do you see any such messages?

[tidal relic]

Some of them, but it's much stranger

Also I think my server log freezes when I try to join, I went to copy the text and it came back to life

[clear lagoon]

That is in Engine.ini

[/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSession]
mNumRotatingAutosaves

and in GameUserSettings.ini

[/Script/FactoryGame.FGGameUserSettings]
mFloatValues=(("FG.AutosaveInterval", 120.000000))

if you have existing mFloatValues, you separate as follows:

mFloatValues=(("some other setting", 123.450000), ("FG.AutosaveInterval", 120.000000))

[clear lagoon]

I think it stops auto-scrolling new entries if you have scrolled up and not back down. I'm not super familiar with windows, sorry

[tidal relic]

Actually I think you're right, no worries

Yeah I see a horrific red error about timeout, then a ton of lognet messages that read like this;

[2023.06.17-19.22.13:793][848]LogNet: NotifyAcceptingConnection: Server OnlineBeaconHost_2147480412 accept```
Restarting host real quick before I go much further (Sorry kept getting distracted lol)

[clear lagoon]

go ahead

[clear lagoon]

🤔 that's a 6to4 address

anyway! reboot first 😛

[tidal relic]

I was able to join this time, and as I was typing this the error popped back in. But again still able to play 🤔

[clear lagoon]

are you running the server on your local machine?

[tidal relic]

Nope

[clear lagoon]

this log line [2023.06.17-19.22.13:790][848]LogNet: NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: [::ffff:127.0.0.1]:65134
indicates an accepted connection from localhost through an ipv6to4 tunnel which is, uh, strange

[tidal relic]

Oh, yeah that's odd. My machine's local IPv4 ends in .14, server is .250

[clear lagoon]

if you try to rejoin now, are you still able to play?

[tidal relic]

Sorry misread - trying to rejoin

I am unable to rejoin at all

[clear lagoon]

Can you post the output of the command ipconfig for me, please?

from the server

[tidal relic]

On a side note, how do I disable the dirty area creation messages?

Yeah 1s

Great thank you! Could you go to the network adapter settings for the server's LAN adapter, uncheck IPv6, hit apply & ok? then send a new copy of the ipconfig output

can you restart the satisfactory server and try again?

[tidal relic]

Yeah. Is there a different engine.ini I should be looking for than the one in \Saved\Config\WindowsServer\

[clear lagoon]

should be in installation-directory\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\Engine.ini yes

[tidal relic]

Gotcha. I guess mine's not cool enough to have Core.Log listed. I'll figure it out later

[clear lagoon]

it's not listed by default, you can append it at the bottom of the file

[tidal relic]

Ah, that makes me feel a bit better. I'll try firing it up and seeing if it's still broken 🙃

First join was a success, rejoin was a fail.

[clear lagoon]

can you show me a screenshot of the firewall rules you added on the server?

I also just tried to join externally, should you happen to notice the log messages

[clear lagoon]

did you configure that for "All Programs"?

[tidal relic]

Yeah

[plain hollow]

Is there a way I can fix this? Or maybe at least improve it?
https://gyazo.com/37a8a3b984b2095bbf7a425790cfd86e

[clear lagoon]

just to make sure, the assigned ipv4 address is outside of the DHCP lease range? (or is otherwise reserved in your router/dhcp server)

[clear lagoon]

belt item rendering on dedicated servers is a nightmare. https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/63740d94ca608e0803524ae5

I'm not aware of any means to improve it

[tidal relic]

Should be, trying to find the settings for it in my router

[clear lagoon]

I'm fresh out of ideas. If any windows experts have any idea? 😅

[tidal relic]

It actually wasn't reserved...fixing that now

[clear lagoon]

can you check if that IP was leased to any other device in the network? maybe you're having ip collisions

maybe set a static ip outside of the lease range because by the time any new leases expire it can take a while

outside of that I'm out of ideas. sorry Tarkol

[tidal relic]

Nothing else has received that assignment, so thankfully shouldn't be an issue with ip collisions

Did you get any errors when you joined remotely? (And are you able to rejoin the same session?)

[clear lagoon]

I wasn't able to join either time. If you want I can try again

[tidal relic]

Go ahead

[clear lagoon]

for external connections, you have forwarded all three ports, correct?

[tidal relic]

Yeah

[clear lagoon]

I can see the server status but I can't get into the game. 🤷‍♀️

do you have any third party anti-virus or firewall installed on the windows server machine?

[tidal relic]

Malwarebytes, but no other firewalls or anything.

[clear lagoon]

is that the product Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control?

[tidal relic]

Nope

Just their basic antivirus

I did just see that I had mistakenly disabled "public" in my firewall settings for server process, reverted that now

[clear lagoon]

just for explicit testing, before the -multihome argument, can you add the following for me: -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 -Port=7777

[clear lagoon]

server might have two processes, FactoryGame.exe and UnrealServer-Win64-Shipping.exe

[tidal relic]

Done, server should be up

[clear lagoon]

I managed to connect

[clear lagoon]

are you able to connect yourself now?

[tidal relic]

I was briefly connected, but crashed

Now I can connect, gonna try re-joining

[clear lagoon]

fyi one of your power grids just went out

[tidal relic]

I manually added the executable for the server to firewall and now I get no errors and can rejoin. Not sure ultimately which step fixed it all, but glad there aren't errors now lol

[clear lagoon]

great! sorry I tend to forget windows firewall also does stuff on a per-executable basis

[tidal relic]

No worries

Thank you very much

[clear lagoon]

no problem, glad it got solved in the end. and thank you for your space staircase XD

[tidal relic]

That was actually my friend, he's quite proud of it. His next goal is to belt a way up and down it. I think his end-goal is to use the hypertube things

[frank laurel]

i tried than now, but sadly it still doesn't work. i think CSS changed to code and that variable no longer exists. we'll have to wait for some official news on this i guess

the mNumRotatingAutosaves config works just fine

[clear lagoon]

hrm. that's what gets set when you change and save that setting in the game client. :/

you sure it didn't get overwritten by a server restart?

[frank laurel]

yeah it worked just fine on U7

absolutely, i checked the ini after booting the server

wait i mean that i set the float value, and then i boot the server and it automatically removes the float value

caues probably it doesn't exist

[clear lagoon]

you boot or you reboot it?

[frank laurel]

as you can't set it via the console either. I'll dig around in the code to see

[clear lagoon]

server tends to flush some config files on exit

[frank laurel]

i stopped the server, edited it and started it again

yeah

i saw that CSS is kind enough to include the .pdb with the dll, maybe it is time to boot up VS

[clear lagoon]

debug symbols

good luck XD

[clear lagoon]

I just tested it out and saw the config persisted just fine on my server.
also works as expected. my saves take about 10.5 secs XD

[frank laurel]

hmm, are you on experimental as well?

[clear lagoon]

yes

[frank laurel]

let me try again

[clear lagoon]

make sure the server process is entirely exited before you change the values. and make sure you're setting it in the floatvalues, not the intvalues

[quiet wedge]

Anyone know how to update a dedicated server on linux to U8? I can't find a solid answer on this anywhere. Was gonna just install a fresh one but the listed app 1690800 on the wiki page is no different than the one for U7.... Or I've finally lost my mind. Either way I could use some help.

[clear lagoon]

yes! you need to set -beta experimental instead of -beta public for U8

i.e.
/usr/games/steamcmd +force_install_dir /home/sparxy/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental validate +quit

[quiet wedge]

So it is the same app number? That part is where I'm confused, but at this point if that's all it takes, I'm satisfied xD

[clear lagoon]

it is the same app number, yes. the -beta experimental flag does the same thing as the "betas" setting in the GUI

[frank laurel]

kekwait, it worked now...

i don't get it. i pressed CTRL+C on console and waited for it to gracefully exit

anyway, float values work now thank you ❤️

[clear lagoon]

Glad I could help, and no problem 🙂

[quiet wedge]

Thank you! It lists 1690800 as like an 8 month old build so I wasn't sure it was working. I use the command line for my server, frees up more resrouces to run this wonderful game, and I can't help but be obsessively accurate with the command i put in xD aNyWaY, thank you again ^^

[clear lagoon]

I use steamcmd on the server as well. just wanted to point out what it was functionally equivalent to 🙂

[quiet wedge]

That was the answer I just spent an hour looking around for before asking for help, lul, so I appreciate the succinct resolution!

[clear lagoon]

remember to back up your saves

[clear lagoon]

it's on the wiki as well:
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#For_Linux

[quiet wedge]

I have backups of my backups of my backups lol,
i did visit that page, but it doesn't specifically point out that the [-beta experimental] flag will update to anything other than the 1690800 version released back in december. I understand now, but that isn't very clear, imo, but my brain doesn't function like a normal person's 🙃

[chrome pumice]

1690800 is not a version. It's the games ID# on steams side.

[quiet wedge]

@darkyco Ah, well that explains that, but when I was working with servers last year that number changed multiple times so I thought it would this time too.

[tidal relic]

Despite earlier troubleshooting seeming promising, I'm still not able to reconnect now lol. Getting the same timeout error. For now I'll just restart the process between sessions

[clear lagoon]

I'm sorry. I don't really have any idea of what it could be

[tidal relic]

All good, no worries

[deep turret]

did you put -DisablePacketRouting too ?

[tidal relic]

Like in the cmd args? I have not seen that anywhere so I didn't put it in

[deep turret]

in your starting command arguments (of the server)
add it at the start

[clear lagoon]

can you let us know if that fixed it? I'll keep it in mind then. I didn't know that was a thing 🙂

[thin lodge]

@here sorry if this is in the wrong channel or has been asked before. i have a satisfactory server and decided to restart the server and start at tier 8 but everytime i try to load i start at tier 2. am i doing something wrong or is that how it is right now

[chrome pumice]

Are you loading the most recent save?

[thin lodge]

yes only have 1 save

[chrome pumice]

Did you back it up before updating? Sounds like the saves got wiped with the update.

[thin lodge]

i had a save backed up, i had done everything on that save. but with the new update i want to start at tier 8 with a friend

[chrome pumice]

Oh you wan to make a new world but start at tier 8?

[thin lodge]

yes on a server

[chrome pumice]

I believe you have to create a solo world with Advanced Game Settings and set all the progression and save the world. Then upload it to the server.

I have not done it but I believe that is current way to do it.

If that is not working then I am not sure how to get Advanced Game Settings to work on a server.

[thin lodge]

ok i got it working just had to play around with everything. thank you for your help

[tidal relic]

Unfortunately it did not

[deep turret]

:/

[elfin oyster]

Did you do it by uploading a local game with the settings turned on?

[dull hatch]

For some reason my server isn't accessible from local or remote connections.

(yes I've port forwarded, etc, not the problem as I can't access it from local) Also, when my game is closed on my main pc, the server pc (server host) it starts with 15000, but if my game is open then its on 7777 port

[chrome pumice]

Did you disable ipv6 on the server. With the new update it defaults to ipv6 instead of ipv4.

[dull hatch]

ohh how would I do that? network adapter options on windows or something in a config

YOU are the BEST @chrome pumice

I disabled the IPv6 adapter and it finally connects

[boreal sundial]

is there a way to recover a crate that is in the "void" ?
I was disconected from my server while driving a car, when i logged in my car was in coord 0 , 0

the car and my itens are lost forever ?

[desert walrus]

Use scim to edit the save and move them

[chrome pumice]

I haven't had that issue so I am not sure. I would just revert to a save before that happened. Also vehicles have a lot of issues on servers. I would not use them.

[desert walrus]

They're fine as long as you don't log out while you're in them and don't try to ride on top of them

[chrome pumice]

What about the sound issues with them? I thought it was cause server crashes.

[desert walrus]

That can also depend on server performance

And vehicle sound was overhauled so iirc that was fixed in u8

[scenic talon]

It appears that Google is empty related to the string LogWorldPartition: Streaming performance changed: Good -> Critical

I suspect this is my issue with a new server install on U8, the client normally times out before it drops in to game, the other two times it got in the game for less than 10 seconds and the client crashed out. Any pointers?

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 with the basics needed to run steamcmd and also have the Steam API error present (I can't remember if that's normal or not)

Here's the only error I can find, right after a comment of connection timed out closing connection with the same IP. There's 6ms latency so I'm inclined not to believe that's a latency error.

Here's the client crash information.

[loud minnow]

The crash report you provided shows that your game client crashed because of an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error, which means the game tried to read or write to an illegal area of memory.

Looking at the stack trace, it seems like the error is originating from the game's memory management system, specifically FMallocBinned2::ReallocExternal() and FMallocBinned2::Realloc() methods. These methods are used for reallocating memory, which means the game was likely trying to adjust the amount of memory used by an object when the error occurred.

From the stack trace, the error seems to be associated with the operation of the game's conveyor item subsystem (as evidenced by the call to AFGConveyorItemSubsystem::GatherTransformData_ISPC'::10'::<lambda_3>::operator()).

This suggests that the game was trying to perform an operation related to the conveyors when it encountered an issue with memory allocation, which caused it to crash.

There are several possible reasons for this:

Corrupt Game Files: A file associated with the game's memory management or conveyor system could be corrupted. Verifying the integrity of the game files or reinstalling the game might fix this issue.

Out of Memory: The game could have attempted to allocate more memory than was available, causing it to crash. Make sure your system has sufficient RAM and that other memory-intensive applications are not running in the background.

Hardware Issue: Less likely, but a faulty RAM could cause this issue. Running a hardware diagnostic tool might help identify if this is the case.

You should also consider reaching out to the game's support with this crash information for a more specific diagnosis and potential fix.

[scenic talon]

That's extremely detailed for a crash trace, I just get lost in them.

This might be related to the core of constant timeouts in experimental. I'll give verify a shot and see what happens. I can also try to load the save file directly and make sure there's nothing wrong with the file itself

game file itself loads fine.

[scenic talon]

Looks like permissions issues somehow, it's loading now

[tidal relic]

How does map reveal on dedicated servers work? I've got a friend in a "dark zone" that he flew to via parachute, he's since landed and built but still nothing revealed yet

[pure cloak]

Can I start the dedicated server in Experimental if I'm launching the Dedicated server through the Epic Games Launcher?

According to the wiki, Guess not

[shell cairn]

Has anyone got a server working using a tunneling service like cloudflared or playit.gg? Using playit.gg I can find the server but I cannot connect to it. Just times out.

[tidal relic]

Is there a solution to trees/foliage being weird and respawning? The trees are invincible, and it's a real eyesore when I started in forest

[spare orbit]

we experienced on our server, that the updates of the map are mostly random, but can be kinda forced by relogging.
so leave nd log in again. maybe close the client, not sure about that specifically. most time we updated our map through clients crashing, but i think, simply leaving to menu and relogging should to the thing

[tidal relic]

Relogging seemed to do it briefly, but when I returned to base they popped back in

[spare orbit]

yeah its a bit scuffed, but sure works long term

[tidal relic]

Does this happen on regular MP games as well that aren't dedicated?

It's been a coin flip lately on whether or not I can actually rejoin lol

[spare orbit]

no idea, last time normal mp was long time ago. has some major drawback like only playable when host is online, worse performance, autosave lag etc

so even in case, its not worth it for the map

[tidal relic]

Oh, I had expected performance to be better, that's unfortunate. We only usually play when we're all online anyways, so if we switched to non-server it would be ok. But only gonna bother with that if we can actually fix issues

[spare orbit]

well, performance can be better when the server isnt good.
we have quite a good server, so it has more than enough performance

surely just depends on the used server.

[tidal relic]

I don't imagine we'll see any difference in performance - the server we run on hasn't been having any issues. It's just the trees that have become infuriating to see lol

[topaz pebble]

i have tons of lag, a beast of a server, a beast of a pc and 12ms ping, honestly i turned down my graphics alot and it helps, no clue why

[vague kestrel]

I think I may have pasted this in the wrong channel so, if this is the correct one, here goes.

I have a rented server and it is refusing to start with the following issue: 
[2023.06.18-05.37.57:157][507]LogOnline: Warning: OSS: EOSSDK-LogHttp: Retry exhausted on h t t p s:// api. epicgames. dev/...
(I have to break the URL from the logs up unfortunately.)```

Any pointers?

[clear lagoon]

I've never seen that warning message. Does it cause any issues with the server?

[desert walrus]

Are you on u8?

[topaz pebble]

yes

[topaz pebble]

can your server reach the interwebs ?

[desert walrus]

Just general u8 issues then
Also "a beast" doesn't give any info about your actual specs

[topaz pebble]

my pc is a 16core 4.9Ghz RTX 3090, 64Gb of ram, my server is and i9 something 128gb ram, barebones in a DC on a 10GB up and downlink

[sharp bison]

Is the server starting with the multihome argument set? If you look at the server log when you try to connect you'll probably see lines about ipv6 routes

Multihome will force it to pure ipv4. That made things suddenly work for me the other day after repeated timeout errors trying to join

[plain hollow]

Hey I was looking for power slugs and I relized they just respawn, so that they are picked up by the object scanner, but when I get close they despawn again, is there a fix for this?

[topaz pebble]

unfortunatly most of the time, fixes are just waiting for patches 😂

you could try and changing your rendering distance, not sure

[plain hollow]

its on max lmao

[topaz pebble]

not sure, maybe try the other way ?

also, what is your tickrate ?

[plain hollow]

60

[shell cairn]

Ah yes, I saw I can set the multi home using an argument. Should it just be the local IP of the server?

[sharp bison]

yes, or 0.0.0.0

Either will force it off ipv6

[minor oasis]

does everyone else get frequent client crashes in multiplayer on dedicated servers? I know it's experimental so it's expected; I'm just wondering if everyone is having the same experience or is something wrong with mine.

[desert walrus]

Some more than others
Setting creature hostility to passive is a big help

[minor oasis]

I'm hosted local and I'll admit the cpu isn't the greatest - it's an older xeon @ 2.4ghz. Do those of you with better cpus have this issue also?

[coral flame]

i'm currently playing on a experimental on an older xeon (ded server)

it's mostly client crashs atm, the server part actually seems very good

[minor oasis]

true, the server seems much more stable but I get a lot of client crashes and then it takes 5m+ to reconnect

[coral flame]

i was getting a lot of server crashs on update 7 ded server (bad index when deleting things, or maybe update)

[minor oasis]

So were we

The server isn't crashing nearly as much but I get a lot of client crashes or disconnects

I just wanted to make sure others are having the same experience and something wasn't wrong with mine

[coral flame]

cpu is a x5670 x 2, 2.9ghz, my world is getting bigger 🙂

[minor oasis]

I'm around the same

I tend to crash or disconnect a lot when launching between factories

[coral flame]

i had 2.66ghz, it did help quite a bit, i can't put any faster in my server though

[minor oasis]

same I'm on an older dell

[coral flame]

what OS ?

[minor oasis]

cent7

running in vsphere

[coral flame]

ahh, i'm so sorry, i'm on windows 2019 (it was on 2012 r2, it also is much better)

mine is native, it's only a home piece of junk

[minor oasis]

ya my home lab is a little more extensive than most

[coral flame]

homelab = win 🙂

[minor oasis]

I have a full size rack with a couple R720s and 2 MD1000s

[coral flame]

mine is only a r510 atm, it's ok for other stuff

[minor oasis]

it's older hardware I got from work though none of it is anywhere near state of the art lol

[coral flame]

i love r720's, all the dell server stuff is great 🙂

[minor oasis]

agreed; it's all we use

[coral flame]

this new update it appears my trains are slower (prob becuase server sucks to some degree...)

that said though, the cpu max use is down, it seems to have bit more overhead, so i dunno

[minor oasis]

I'll have to go through my logs and see if there are commonalities when I get disconnected. tbh the crashes in update 7 were so bad the server's been offline since around christmas lol. Server does seem much more stable but there are quite a few client crashes and disconnects.

[coral flame]

i just had to repply my client networktimeout settings

[gentle delta]

hello

Is steamcmd the only way to install a dedicated sun serv?

[coral flame]

nah, you prob can instgall it normally via steam if you like i think,, steamcmd is better though

you just download steamcmd, dump it in adirectory, and feed it...: steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 +exit

or: steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental +exit

[gentle delta]

but i have satisfactory on epic games

oh okay perfect

[coral flame]

ya thats ok, it is anon access

[gentle delta]

i tried to install steamcmd but

[coral flame]

sorry i'v only used it in windows, i don't think it'll be that different though

you want to dump it in it's own directory i would think, when you run it it'll download updates for itself, then apply asny extra commands

[gentle delta]

their installation stuff is nonsense

[coral flame]

it's not exactly a proper package thing i take it, same as windows ? 🙂

on windows it ends up looking something like this

ya, the default install location is under the application, i know i know....

[gentle delta]

i'am on debian

I followed this tutorial

https:// developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

[coral flame]

oh it is actually a proper package

[chrome pumice]

To run it you have to ./steamcmd.sh

Make sure you are in the correct directory.

[gentle delta]

i can't install that

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse

[chrome pumice]

Are you in a 64bit OS?

[gentle delta]

yes

[chrome pumice]

If you are using Debian 11 or higher, you need to add contrib and non-free instead of multiverse.

Right below the multiverse stuff

[gentle delta]

yes 64bit

[chrome pumice]

The looks correct you should be able to install the repos and steamcmd. Have you restarted after adding those?

[gentle delta]

maybe it's good

[chrome pumice]

Now you can install the game.

[gentle delta]

i have to run that here steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental +exit

or i have to exit

[chrome pumice]

Since you are alread in steam you can run the command without the first part calling steamcmd.

+login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental validate +quit

[gentle delta]

hm

[chrome pumice]

Somthing like that.

Take out the + on every command

[gentle delta]

ah

[minor oasis]

Seems the crash I'm getting is regarding conveyor items when the client is loading in a factory after launching across the map fast

[chrome pumice]

Maybe each command has to be run on a different line. So login then app_update after.

[minor oasis]

pretty much 100% reproducible every time I use a hypertube launcher

[chrome pumice]

From what I have heard hypertubes have some issues. I would not use them.

[gentle delta]

so many errors

[chrome pumice]

Yeah those are steam issues. I have been getting them for the past 2 days.

[gentle delta]

but their stuff is badly made

that it's so complicated just to install a server

[chrome pumice]

Thats just Debian. I use CentOS its just 1 iinstall command.

Were you able to get the game to install?

[gentle delta]

no

[chrome pumice]

Do login anonymous

Then do app_update 1690800 -beta experimental

[gentle delta]

now it works

[chrome pumice]

Once that is done you can quit out of steam and find the directory where the game installed.

[chrome pumice]

Yep FactoryServer.sh is how you start the server.

I would run a command like ./FactoryServer.sh -multihome=<ip address> -log -unattended.

If you don't do the multihome part it will try and use ipv6.

[gentle delta]

i will create a service file

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

[chrome pumice]

Even better.

[gentle delta]

:/

they want to blow my head off

[chrome pumice]

I think that is a user issue.

I believe the user you have in the service does not exist?

[gentle delta]

oh my bad lol

[mint junco]

Wait until fully unloaded is broken again on dedicated server.

[vague kestrel]

It is able to reach the web. It's a hosted server and works fine on Update 7.

[topaz pebble]

oh i had to turn ipv6 off

[clear lagoon]

anyone else have a tendency of falling through the world on death in U8? 😛

[topaz pebble]

i had that in E7

[vague kestrel]

Is there a list of server options other than at fandom . com?

[topaz pebble]

let me look at my settings

ExecStart=/home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryServer.sh -log -unattended -multihome=0.0.0.0 # or your server ip

[vague kestrel]

Yeah, my server is on a hosted platform. Streamline servers to be exact. I don't have access to a command line

[chrome pumice]

Pretty sure anything after -unattended does nothing.

[topaz pebble]

actually it does but by default on linux is on

[chrome pumice]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=french&id=2356992556

This is the closest thing I know of.

[vague kestrel]

Thanks, doesn't seem like there is anything helpful there. This looks like an Epic thing and it's just brought everything to a halt.
[2023.06.18-05.37.57:157][507]LogOnline: Warning: OSS: EOSSDK-LogEOS: Failed to connect to the backend. ServiceName=[Metrics], OperationName=[SendBackendEvent], Url=[<Redacted>]

There's a reason I avoid Epic, this doesn't help sell me any further.

[clear lagoon]

is this preventing you from logging in? it looks like a warning message. do you have any epic endpoints blocked in your firewall e.g. pfblocker or pihole?

[vague kestrel]

Server jsut doesn't appear. You try and connect and it's offline.

and again, not my network. Streamline servers network

[clear lagoon]

Are you running on windows or linux?

[vague kestrel]

No idea. I don't have access to any back end areas. All I can tell you is that it works fine on Update 7

[clear lagoon]

can you configure any command line switches? if you pass me your server ip I can try to connect with a steam client

the warning log is most likely unrelated to the cause of your connection issues

[vague kestrel]

No command line

[clear lagoon]

If you have no access to manage the game server you'll need to contact support at your provider to resolve the connection issue. There's not much we can do to help.

[vague kestrel]

Was more looking at possible technical issues I may have overlooked. I'm not without skills in this area

[clear lagoon]

are you connecting on the ServerQueryPort? are all three configured ports open for inbound UDP in the server's firewall?

[vague kestrel]

I was kind of hoping for an off chance that there was a Serversettings.ini option to turn off the EOS intergration

[clear lagoon]

The EOS warning is likely unrelated to the problem you're having.

[vague kestrel]

the whole thing works fine in Update 7 so yes, the ports all work and are open

[clear lagoon]

are you logging in with an epic or steam client?

[vague kestrel]

Steam

server was installed with SteamCMD

[clear lagoon]

Your login is authenticated through the steam sdk (steamAPI) and not the EOSSDK

[vague kestrel]

Never gets to that point. Server shows up as offline in the server manager.

[clear lagoon]

if you don't see any LogNet messages related to that connection in the server log, your inbound packets are failing to reach the server

[vague kestrel]

Let me check the client logs

Nothing there

[clear lagoon]

this is what the initial loading of the server status looks like in the server console for a steam client:
#dedicated-servers message

[vague kestrel]

Yeah, nothing like that

[clear lagoon]

if you see no NotifyAcceptingConnection your packets are being lost anywhere between your device and the server software

if your server provider uses a executable-name based firewall (i.e. windows firewall) connections may fail because the name of the server binary changed

but at this point we can only guess. your server appears to be running fine but is not accepting inbound connections most likely

[clear lagoon]

You can ignore these.

[dull hatch]

it crashes the server

[clear lagoon]

Are you running on windows or on linux?

[dull hatch]

windows via steamCMD

I can share the full log if needed

[clear lagoon]

It might be helpful.

[chrome pumice]

If that is the only change have you disabled ipv6?

[dull hatch]

safe to upload full zip of crash folder?

eh should be fine

[clear lagoon]

for what it's worth, my server is usually finished starting up after those steam errors show up

[dull hatch]

it fully kills the process for me

[clear lagoon]

can you server game files and try again?

[dull hatch]

im a bit lost on what you mean

[clear lagoon]

have steamcmd run validate on your dedicated server install

[clear lagoon]

i.e. steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\location +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit

do you have any USB devices plugged into your server that may be malfunctioning?

[dull hatch]

Ethernet controller

[clear lagoon]

Anyway from what I can tell from the stack trace, it seems to crash while loading game files. let me know if verifying the game files helped

[dull hatch]

reinstalled the game files, no help :/

[clear lagoon]

you deleted and reinstalled fully?

[dull hatch]

yeah

[clear lagoon]

ignore frames is set to 4 so you are crashing on

UE4Server_Engine_Win64_Shipping!UGameplayStatics::LoadGameFromMemory() [D:\TC_agent\work\78a794e88763017d\UE4\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\GameplayStatics.cpp:2114]

I've never seen that happen before since that appears to be initial startup

[dull hatch]

any way to fix from your knowledge?

[clear lagoon]

I'm sorry, I've not a clue. I was tempted to say corrupt game files, but that shouldn't be the case after a clean install

can you run a validate on the clean install just in case?

[dull hatch]

how so

[clear lagoon]

It's crashing on game load, which I think is the point at which it should begin loading the map

[dull hatch]

the map hasn't been created

Imma try updating the server, windows server always acts funny when there is pending updates

maybe restarting it will help too. maybe it doesn't like something in memory

[clear lagoon]

I haven't the foggiest, sorry. Your guess is as good as mine at this point. Far outside of my expertise zone XD

[stone olive]

any idea how to fix this thing?

I keep getting timeouts and so does my friend who also tried setting up a server

[chrome pumice]

Did you turn off ipv6?

[dull hatch]

is the game required to be installed for dedicated server to work?

[stone olive]

huh

where to i turn this off?

[chrome pumice]

You can either add -multihome=<ip address> to your startup command or disable ipv6 on the host machine.

[dull hatch]

Open the Start menu by clicking on the Windows logo in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Type "Control Panel" and click on the "Control Panel" app that appears in the search results.

In the Control Panel window, click on the "Network and Internet" category.

Next, click on the "Network and Sharing Center" option.

In the Network and Sharing Center, look for the "Change adapter settings" link on the left-hand side and click on it.

You will see a list of network connections. Right-click on the network connection that you want to disable IPv6 for (e.g., Ethernet or Wi-Fi), and select "Properties" from the context menu.

In the connection's Properties window, locate the "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)" option and uncheck the box next to it.

Click on the "OK" button to save the changes.

If you have multiple network connections, repeat steps 6-8 for each connection where you want to disable IPv6.

Once you have disabled IPv6 for all the desired connections, close the Network Connections window.

[chrome pumice]

Yeah ^^ that is if your host machine is windows.

[stone olive]

No, i would never purchase a windows server lol

I am running it on linux inside a docker

Ill try the multihome command parameter

[chrome pumice]

./FactoryServer.sh -multihome=192.168.1.2 -ServerQueryPort=15777 BeaconPort=15000 -Port=7777 -log -unattended

[chrome pumice]

An example of what I use.

[stone olive]

its on 0.0.0.0 by default

[spare orbit]

if you want to disable ipv6 on linux, its most time this (if it uses sysctl)

terminal
change to the root user.
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1

[stone olive]

Btw i was able to get to the settings and claim the server for myself

[chrome pumice]

The 0.0.0.0 should work but I found using the exact IP worked better.

[stone olive]

but once i try actually connecting to the game

than the connection crashes

[spare orbit]

yeah, the game itself is bound to ipv6 then, while the other parts arent

[gloomy ocean]

I can't play this game any more.

I've lost my save two times due to repeated crashes corrupting saves, then autosaving taking that corrupted save and overwriting the working auto saves over and over when it crashes when i join the server.

Auto-pilot route creation, auto-pilot driving around, looking at water, standing still, (connection timeout 0-1ms latency).. the reasons my game and server crashes is a mile long, and i've lost everything i've done two times since update 8 came out.

I get that this is experimental, but there's a limit to my patience and this poor experience have ruined my exitement completely.

Experimental server as they are right now is a complete waste of time.

[spare orbit]

there are a few steps to make it more safe and less problematic.
the u7 server also crashed our clients some times and it got corrupted then, just loading the autosave right before it worked.
so we just got more saves in less time.
every 3 minutes and up to 20, so to cover a full hour to have some reaction time.

[stone olive]

can the docker cause this issues?

[spare orbit]

idk, i dont use it.
but it shouldnt

[mint junco]

Random client lockups on dedicated server.
The game freezes and does not crash out.
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/648f4f0187a1e63b6cee5858

[gentle delta]

And me the server stuck on activating state

[clear lagoon]

no

[spare orbit]

uh, maybe still same problem then we had
set mobs to retaliate or however its called. we found out that probably enemy pathfinding or so crashes our clients. retaliate and attack them also is some insta crash, so we are quite sure about that its the mobs fault

[chrome pumice]

Validateing game files takes about 30s to a minute.

You need to set mobs to passive on both the server and all clients if that is the case.

[sage hound]

Hi. I installed the Dedicated Server on the Stable version and then switched to Experimental, but now the server does not start anymore

this are the logs

[clear lagoon]

The game is in pre-release as a whole. You're testing an experimental branch of a pre-release game. You can report any bugs you encounter on the QA site. If you want a more stable experience, play singleplayer or multiplayer in the gameclient, and play on U7. Dedicated servers are also in an experimental stage.

[mint junco]

I'm nowhere near mobs in a built up area.
All default, mobs are hostile.
Posting here is for the purposes of posting a screenshot to link to the QA post.
Thanks for the insight though, by sharing information we can hopefully find a common root cause.

[clear lagoon]

SteamCMD on linux has been really flakey since the last steam update

remove the prestart steamcmd check

[spare orbit]

didnt see any difference

what happened

[clear lagoon]

I'm seeing the same issues as him. Segfaults after running validate/on quit

[chrome pumice]

Same with me.

[clear lagoon]

The GUI client received a major overhaul as well. I imagine something bad bled over into steamcmd

[spare orbit]

didnt have something like that ever

[clear lagoon]

have you used steamcmd in the past 24 hours?

[spare orbit]

oh its that new

[clear lagoon]

yes

I've been seeing the issue as of today

[chrome pumice]

I have been seeing it since Friday. I think the update happened Thuresday night.

[gentle delta]

good thanks

[stone olive]

So i am able to get this loading screen, the client starts to consume a lot of ram and cpu power, but almost no internet (0,1 mb/s), than after some time it stops completely and sends me back to the start menu... I also get an error in server console, i can send the whole log if its gonna help identifying the issue....

[clear lagoon]

you're right.

journalctl -u satisfactory-server --since -7d | grep steamcmd -i | grep 'Segmentation fault'
Jun 16 13:59:39 minecraft steamcmd[623735]: /home/sparxy/.steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh: line 39: 623759 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) $DEBUGGER "$STEAMEXE" "$@"

first time it failed on me. issues since version 1686881296. version 1685487853 was fine

it got more stable since I shoved libSDL3 and steamservice.so from the client onto the server machine in the relevant lib folders but it still crashes a lot

[chrome pumice]

I have not had any crashes. I also didn't fix anything. Figured they would fix it quickly if it was those were needed.

[clear lagoon]

Your steamcmd client does not crash?

[chrome pumice]

Those look like general timeout issues. You can try uping the timeout limit in the engine.ini files.

[clear lagoon]

I'm seeing segmentation faults as above since ver 1686881296

[chrome pumice]

Yeah I have had no crashes since the update. Seems to run fine with faults and missing libs.

[clear lagoon]

yes it runs fine but the segmentation fault leads to a non-zero exit code which isn't great for shell scripts or systemd units 😛

non-zero exit-code indicates failure after all

so it is fine for a given value of fine, depending on your use case

[mint junco]

Many trees cannot be cut down on dedicated server.
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/648f533387a1e63b6cee587a

[stone olive]

already did that

[sage hound]

Hi. I can't connect to my dedicated server

[chrome pumice]

Were you able to get ipv6 disabled? Once I did that to my server it stopped all my timeout issues.

[chrome pumice]

That timeout error is showing an ipv6 address. Are you wanting to use ipv6? If not I would disable ipv6 and see that error still remains.

[sage hound]

yeah i want ipv6

[gentle delta]

My server is up

but how to enable keep inventory ?

[stone olive]

well i used that multihome command parameter

[chrome pumice]

Have you uped the timeout time in the Engine.ini?

[chrome pumice]

You can up the network quality setting in the Engine.ini other then that I am not sure.

[sage hound]

no, where can I find the file?

[chrome pumice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files

[chrome pumice]

This is what I use.
[/Script/Engine.Player]
ConfiguredInternetSpeed=120000
ConfiguredLanSpeed=130000

[chrome pumice]

Are you talking about on respawn? Or are you talking about uploading a local save to the server?

[stone olive]

I see no /Script folder in home/container....

[chrome pumice]

Thats not a folder. It is what you put in the Engine.ini file. You find the Engine.ini file here.
Steam/steamapps/common/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini

[stone olive]

Steam/steamapps doesnt have any common folder?

[chrome pumice]

FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini From this screenshot.

[stone olive]

these are values i found there

[stone olive]

Should i change them to this?

[gentle delta]

when respawn

[chrome pumice]

That is a default setting that should be on.

[chrome pumice]

I changed mine. If it doesn't improve connections for you then change it back to default.

[gentle delta]

oh ok

where is the settings location ?

[spice quarry]

Does anyone know how to turn on advanced settings for dedicated servers?

[chrome pumice]

Wait sorry you don't keep your inventory on respawn you only keep quipment that was equipped on death. I don't think there is a way to keep everying.

[chrome pumice]

I believe you have to make a local save with advanced game settings turned on then upload it to the server.

[gentle delta]

ah

[spice quarry]

trying it now

[stone olive]

it changed nothing...

still exactly the same error

[spice quarry]

You have to turn on advanced settings. Then when in game click escape, advanced game settings, gameplay and then change keep intetory to keep everything.

[chrome pumice]

I am not sure once I did those things my timeout issues stopped.

[gentle delta]

how to turn on advanced settings ?

[spice quarry]

lol same boat as me. Waiting on server owner to test but supposedly you have to start a save in solo with it on then move it to server.

If you can turn on mid game IDK, no one mentioned it yet

[gentle delta]

oh okay lol

[marble berry]

is there a config setting to tell our dedicated servers to send error reports to CSS?

if I go any faster than blade sprint (i.e. explorer, train, tubes), I'm almost guaranteed a server timeout or client crash

[clear lagoon]

It is enabled by default.

if you wish to disable it, you can set the following options in Engine.ini:

[CrashReportClient]
bAgreeToCrashUpload=false
bImplicitSend=False

[marble berry]

thanks. I mostly wanted to make sure all my crashes and things were getting looked into one of these years.

[clear lagoon]

if you encounter specific bugs or crashes you can always make a report on the QA site as well

[marble berry]

of course, but lazy me may just get used to all this stuff and not report.

do your hypertubes initially send you back out where you entered?

[clear lagoon]

there's a glitch like that on dedicated servers when the hypertube segment is connected from a support to the entrance and not the other way around. you can fix it by dismantling that one piece of tube and rebuilding it by starting from the entrance

[marble berry]

ok. I'll do that.

[clear lagoon]

on short hypertubes, when the glitch occurs, you can just wait and you will teleport to the other side once the "travel" finishes on the server. on long hypertubes you might softlock and need to rejoin the session

[marble berry]

yeah. I noticed that. it's a funny time warp

I can even see my icon on the map travelling

but it does cause crashes too

[novel lava]

@sturdy gust when you have time could you help me with your docker satisfactory-server , setting on new machine via docker compose

anyone doing docker server, what path recommended to run it from?

[sturdy gust]

Sure thing, DM me 🙂

[gentle delta]

When you load a save you can enable advanced settings

[spice quarry]

that we havent figured out on our end lol Only way we know is from new save but someone else maybe able to let you know! We decided to just keep going on our old save no enabling Advanced settings

[gentle delta]

okay

[warped coral]

Does a dedicated server to discord chat bridge exist?

[visual onyx]

not as far as I know but I haven't looked super hard

would be awesome though

[tiny raft]

are you guys having problems with dedicated servers when trying to update

[graceful flicker]

Specifically what problems

[tiny raft]

Boot looping when trying to update

[graceful flicker]

It's not a problem I have on any of mine at the moment.

So that people more experienced can assist, what platform is it on, and do you have any server logs available?

[hexed pulsar]

I think I'm hitting a bug - I am running latest U8 on Windows 10 and when I leave and come back to particular section of the map, all of the foliage is back to default, and I can't chop it down. If I log out of the server and try to log back in I get fault errors (sent to CS via the reporting function) and I have to reboot and restart the server. It's good upon reboot, but then reverts. Logs attached.

[sharp geode]

Hey guys; What is the general consensus on max tick rate for a server? I have i9 13900k if that helps with an answer.

[paper solstice]

If i want to use the cloud to host my server, any reccomendations?
Google cloud, aws, vmware?

[open crypt]

hey guys, i have an problem with one server, very often if a player try to set, walls where concrete is involved, the server crashs and restart, any idears to solve this, i couldn't find an error in the logs, at this time.

[tidal relic]

If a death box doesn't seem to be where the marker says - is there any way to recover it?

[deep turret]

make sure it isn't higher or below where you are looking

else I guess you can use https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map even though it is experimental at the moment

[tidal relic]

How do you check current altitude?

From what I can tell on the map, it's much lower than where I actually died. But I'm not sure there's even a way inside there...

[clear lagoon]

open the dev console and enter showDebug

coordinates will be displayed in top left. Z is your altitude

console keybind is backtick by default I think

[tidal relic]

So my Z (while on top the cliff that I died on) is 14933
The crate, according to that map, has a Z of 12677

[clear lagoon]

Sometimes when you die you fall through the map and your crate ends up in an interesting™️ spot.
You can use SCIM to move the crate coordinates to a known good location, but the U8 variant currently resets all harvested foliage so... if you don't want that you might need to go underneath the map

you should go check at the bottom of the cliff first either way 😛

[tidal relic]

When it resets the foliage, is it still immortal or can it just be chainsawed away like normal?

[clear lagoon]

it can get chainsawed like normal. the immortal foliage bug is a visual bug that should go away on reload (in most cases. there is some foliage that they forgot to mark as destructible). tends to happen when you travel away and back to the same area

[tidal relic]

Yeah I get the immortal foliage a lot. All it takes is me running to coal plants and back to base. I'll see if I can move the box, the Z coordinate puts it roughly halfway down the cliff, and there's no interesting nooks I can jam myself into for a better view that I can see

[clear lagoon]

if you're prepared to die again you can put a 4m foundation through the ground on top of the cliff, stick a hypertube floor hole in, connect a powered entrance. magick™️ 😄

if you want to try to make it safer you can stick a conveyer lift through and bring a jetpack XD

(is it obvious I'm tired of destroying foliage to recover death crates? XD)

[tidal relic]

Yeah I'm fine with destroying it. I even enjoy it. I hate when it is immortal though

And coming back to base and seeing a swarm of trees that I can't get rid of just infuriates me to no end

[clear lagoon]

well, in that case you can go to SCIM, switch to experimental branch, upload your save, edit the crate, and download the save again

[tidal relic]

Already done, I gladly recovered it. Thank you

[clear lagoon]

you're welcome 🙂

Does anyone know whats happening or what im doing wrong

when i i try to connect to the server it says it is offline

[past current]

I actually came here for this exact same question, apparantly mine didn't connect due to something called multihome https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Talk:Dedicated_servers

[agile flint]

when im looking at my servers it say Not Authenticated

[fair osprey]

Is it a warning or error?

[past current]

same for mine. you need to add a bit to the command when you're starting FactoryServer.sh -multihome <yourserverlocalip>

[agile flint]

where do i add it

[fair osprey]

• Smock is hosting the server on his computer, and I don't think he needs custom ports.

I'm trying to help him with @languid saddle but we aren't getting far

[past current]

ah

[tulip bronze]

Im seeing the same steamservice.so and libSDL3 no such file for steamcmd, where did you get the files and where would that go? Thanks

[clear lagoon]

if you're not having any blocking issues related to steamcmd, I would wait until it is fixed upstream. It should still work fine without, mostly. if you're feeling adventurous you can move the 32bit libs from the 32bit steam gui client runtime dir to the 32bit lib dir, and the 64bit libs from the 64bit runtime dir to the 64bit lib dir. If you don't know what those are it's best not to mess around with it too much 🙂

[tulip bronze]

Ah i see, then ill just wait then, thanks :))

[frank laurel]

most annoying bug in the game imho. been reported for 2 years according to the QA site. i blow up rocks and cut down trees so my truck can drive, by the time I am back there to record the path, everything is back with collision and cannot be removed again, unless relog in that zone

there's no known workaround right? Besides building everything high up in the sky

[clear lagoon]

I didn't have the issue in U7 personally. it might be a regression with the new partitioning mechanism with UE5/U8? Movement is server-authorative so you should be able to clip through any ghost foliage with some minor client-side stutters

[frank laurel]

i mean for autopilot vehicles it's irrelevant cause they will absolutely power through anything and everything

but I am kinda tired of the forest in the middle of my copper factory

[clear lagoon]

Also vehicles you're manually driving. The foliage might interact with the physics engine on the client side but the server will keep correcting your positioning as if the foliage is absent, so you can power through just as well with hand-drive

[frank laurel]

which I cut down initially, but now everytime i go away and come back to my base, i can't see anything

[clear lagoon]

I know the feeling. it is annoying :C hopefully they'll fix it after the holidays but I'm not holding out hope

[frank laurel]

Mmm, not exactly. i cut down a tree, it "regrown" and I can keep running my truck into it as much as I want i'll be stuck

but I can't cut it down with chainsaw either

[clear lagoon]

huh that's weird. I've not tried with vehicles but you can glitch through "ghost" foliage on foot

I would expect the same behaviour with vehicles since movement is server-authorative

[frank laurel]

hmm, I'll test it when I get home, but none of us can run through ghost foliage. it wasn't an issue on U7 indeed with dedicated server

[fair osprey]

So @agile flint is having an issue, we got the server running but want to update it to experimental but it's not doing it even if we do the command.

[clear lagoon]

can you post the command you're using and the output you see?

[agile flint]

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

[fair osprey]

It updates like normal but it didn't initially work, he's updating it again but we'll see

[agile flint]

@clear lagoon

[clear lagoon]

you have successfully installed U8 in the folder C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer

Are you having any issues that make you think the installation was not successful?

[agile flint]

So im trying to make the server for experimental and i cant join it on the experiamental branch of the game but i cant on the early acces branch

[clear lagoon]

can you show me the error you're getting when you try to connect?

[agile flint]

Add me on so i can just show you it will be a lot easier

[clear lagoon]

You can post screenshots in here

If you want me to help interactively you'll need to wait until later today

[clear lagoon]

best guess is that you have two satisfactory server installations. one is U8 and the other is U7. How are you starting the server?

[fair osprey]

Through SteamCMD

[coral flame]

you did close and reopen the server between updates?

[clear lagoon]

can you pass the exact command you use?

[fair osprey]

Yes

[coral flame]

dedicated server is at the newer build number, you done something wrong, it'll prob be dumb ? 🙂

[fair osprey]

From the server command prompt window?

[fair osprey]

My game version is higher than the server version ^^

[clear lagoon]

you say you're using steamcmd to launch the server. show how

[coral flame]

ya, it SHOULD be 239192, thats correct atm, the server is out of date, it's afew days old version

[clear lagoon]

I wasn't even aware you could do that so I want to know what command you're using. Presumably you're also using force_install_dir on the launch command then?

[coral flame]

or might be older, err not sure off hand...

[clear lagoon]

That's the U7 version. They are launching from a different install folder than they have installed U8 to.

[fair osprey]

Yep

[clear lagoon]

can you show the specific command? steamcmd is picky about command orders

[agile flint]

FactoryServer.exe -multihome=<myid> -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 -Port=7777 -log -unattended

[clear lagoon]

okay so not using steamcmd to launch then. in which directory are you executing that command?

[fair osprey]

We are using SteamCMD to launch.

[agile flint]

i am using steamcmd its within a .bat file executing that command to launch it

under C:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer

if you add me back we can get in a call together so i can show you what im doing

[clear lagoon]

okay thank you, it seems you have two installs of the satisfactory dedicated server. You ionstalled U7 to C:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer and U8 to C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer
if you want to update the one under steamapps you will need to omit force_install_dir, i.e.:

steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental validate +quit

[clear lagoon]

er

wrong app id 1 sec

[coral flame]

1690800 is dedicated server

[clear lagoon]

fixed

[clear lagoon]

sorry, I copy pasted from their incorrect command from earlier 😄 #oops

[fair osprey]

lol

[coral flame]

edit = win 🙂

[agile flint]

where do i execute the command?

[clear lagoon]

steamcmd can be executed from anywhere if it is installed globally

[fair osprey]

Yea just told him that

[clear lagoon]

I'm not going to be available for a voice call for another hour and a half at least. I'm just responding inbetween work right now

[clear lagoon]

that's not the command I posted. note the missing + signs

[coral flame]

C:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryServer.exe <-- is this location your server exe ?

oh ya it needs + chars

[fair osprey]

It doesn't work with the + signs

[coral flame]

paste that error then 🙂

[fair osprey]

We tried it with them and it said it isn't a recognized command

[clear lagoon]

launch steamcmd and manually enter following commands in the console in order:

login anonymous
app_update 1690800 -beta experimental validate
quit

[coral flame]

imake sure the command line is in c:\steamcmd directory before i run it (just to make sure)

[civic lantern]

Why are you retyping this. copy and paste

[clear lagoon]

update complete. start the server again and you should be good to go

[coral flame]

nah it should say app is up to date as well

i put my update script in a .bat file, it outputs this

[clear lagoon]

no, on an update run on my server the last log line is always `steamcmd[387654]: Success! App '1690800 fully installed.' It only says the result you show when it has nothing to do/is already up to date

[coral flame]

i'm using: steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental +exit

[clear lagoon]

yes. on an already updated server.

[coral flame]

ya, mine is ok, the other guy getting confused, i also have exit instead of quit, prob does the same i assume

[clear lagoon]

@fair osprey @agile flint did your version issue get resolved?

[clear lagoon]

you also don't have a validate command in it so it literally doesn't even check if your version is properly installed. if we're nitpicking each other's commands anyway

[coral flame]

not nitpicking, just trying to be helpful, but ya, steam 🙂

[clear lagoon]

Considering the lack of response, they're either enjoying their time on Massage-2(a-B)b or have given up 😛

[coral flame]

indeed 🙂

[fair osprey]

Yep

Just figuring out the specifics of clients getting into the server

[clear lagoon]

By default the server listens on UDP ports 7777, 15000 and 15777

[loud minnow]

yeah because is loading in the assets maybe the client machine cant load up the map and but the server is working... have you tried joining or someone else have tried joining and see if the join fine... seems like a client problem imo

[fair osprey]

Yeah the ports are the same iirc, the IP is just his external IP

[clear lagoon]

If you're running in a local/NAT network, -multihome should be set to the inhternal IP since it's the local bind address, and the router should forward those ports

[fair osprey]

Right now the only issue is that he can get into the game but I can't, one sec

[agile flint]

yes its on the experimental branch now

[agile flint]

but he cant get into it

[clear lagoon]

are you running the server on a dedicated server/vps or on a local network machine?

looks like connection to the ServerQueryPort works but not the beacon or game ports

[fair osprey]

Local Network, He's running it on his desktop computer

[clear lagoon]

you're connecting over the internet right? can you have him check if all 3 ports are forwarded correctly in his router?

[fair osprey]

We did that together for his router, they are

[clear lagoon]

can you add inbound rules in windows firewall for UDP protocol ports 7777, 15000 and 15777 on the server for all programs?

[fair osprey]

My machine or his?

[clear lagoon]

his, the one the server is running on

[agile flint]

do i need to restart my pc afterwards?

[clear lagoon]

no

[fair osprey]

Does he need to restart the server though or does it matter?

[clear lagoon]

shouldn't matter, the firewall rules should go in effect immediately

[fair osprey]

K

It's doing the same thing

[clear lagoon]

could you provide screenshots of the inbound firewall rules as well as the port forwarding rules?

[fair osprey]

He's getting that in a sec

[coral flame]

it's easy to prove out firewall, just turn them off at both ends, test it, turn them back on

[sage hound]

I don't know why now, but I'm timing always out, when I try to connect my new dedicated server

I have also updated my /home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini Config file and changed the connection timeout

[clear lagoon]

You're running your server in your local network. Are you running it on windows or on linux? Do you have a firewall installed on the server machine? Can you see the server status fine?

[clear lagoon]

you can't turn off NAT reasonably in most consumer networks

[fair osprey]

Forgot a 7 on port forward, lol

[coral flame]

no i mean turn off firewall on the server/client not the router

[clear lagoon]

Turning off the firewall entirely is bad practice, even if it is for the purpose of testing. Especially on a windows machine

[agile flint]

Hes in. i just forgot a 7 in my router port forwording lol

[coral flame]

I agree, needs must though 🙂

[clear lagoon]

Glad to hear your issue is resolved. Good luck on Massage-2(A-B)b, pioneers!

[fair osprey]

I second this, bad idea

[sage hound]

the server is running on a debian 11 vm and the vm has no firewall. where can I see the status of the server?

[clear lagoon]

if you add the server to your server manager in the game, is that when you get the timeout?

[fair osprey]

More problems, trying to change the save associated with the server but it won't change to the one he uploaded on my end, although he can get into the new save just fine.

[sage hound]

yeah, he try to connect and after a few seconds he timed out

[clear lagoon]

you've loaded the save through the server manager? the server should kick everyone off and load the new save. maybe he accidentally loaded it into single player?

[chrome pumice]

What is your startup command?

[fair osprey]

Nope, but we figured it out

[sage hound]

bash FactoryServer.sh

[clear lagoon]

add -multihome with the vm's ipv4

[chrome pumice]

Yes add -multihome to stop if from trying to use ipv6. That has fixed most people's timeout issues.

[sage hound]

thx it worked

[lapis gazelle]

How is the dedicated server experience in U8?

Any better than U8 launch day?

[clear lagoon]

nothing changed

[lapis gazelle]

There have been several hotfixes

[clear lagoon]

yes, but nothing that is specific to dedicated servers. you can see the changes in #patch-notes

[lapis gazelle]

I was hoping that some of the dedicated server issues may have been resolved as a byproduct of those changes

[clear lagoon]

which issues, specifically?

I haven't noticed any known netcode and/or dedicated server issues be resolved personally

[lapis gazelle]

traveling in hypertubes and traveling in trains

I'm not sure how to describe the issues

[clear lagoon]

vehicles are still broken and the hypertube glitch can still be worked around the same way

[lapis gazelle]

wdym by worked around?

[clear lagoon]

there were some fixes for train pathing so you can see if that issue was resolved for you

[clear lagoon]

you're talking about the hypertube issue where it teleports you to the first support and sends you back out the entrance you entered through?

[lapis gazelle]

yes

[clear lagoon]

Hypertubes that were connected from a support to the entrance (as opposed to the entrance to a support) will tp you to the first support and kick you back out the entrance. Depending on the length of the hypertube, the server will tp you once you "pop out" the other end, or your client will soft lock. Workaround by dismantling the pipe and connecting it from the entrance to the first support again (direction matters)

[lapis gazelle]

Oh? That's fantastic 😄

Hmmm

There must be a way to procedurally fix this in a sav file

[clear lagoon]

probably. if you're bored you can give it a go

[lapis gazelle]

I'm not bored, but it would probably take less time than manually fixing 500 hypertube enterances

[clear lagoon]

it's only bugged in multiplayer so I imagine CSS will get around to fixing it. eventually XD

I wouldn't feel like replacing 500 hypertube tube segments manually no XD especially since I imagine it involves a lot of travel 😄

[hasty tangle]

had this working with 8.0.0.0.0 just updated to 0.0.2 and getting the following on the DS status **LogGenericPlatformMisc: Error: SetEnvironmentVar not implemented for this platform: SteamAppId = 526870
**

[clear lagoon]

That error can be ignored

[hasty tangle]

wonder if it's taken out my multihome then, will go check

[robust abyss]

Just getting a chance to look at U8, but early on Jace mentioned that U8 dedicated servers would have major bugs, are you guys seeing that or are they still reasonably stable?

[whole cloud]

Ours comes and goes.

Sometimes we can play ok, others you can’t even walk due to tick rate.

[hasty tangle]

well i just played for about 20 seconds and it crashed, took longer to even connect 😄

[coral flame]

U8 server is more stable than U7 over here atm, client issues mostly of course

[manic hatch]

U8 northern forest is really stuttery. Lots of log spam walking around. Outside of northern forest things seem fine.

[chrome pumice]

Yeah the only place I get rubberbanding is the northern forest. I assume it has to do with the new tree objects.

[manic hatch]

it might be because of world partitioning

it always happens in the same places

[gentle delta]

oh i can't install the update

[chrome pumice]

My update worked just fine. I did it like 2 hours ago. Steam might be having an issue right now.

[frank laurel]

okay so I just found out that r.Fog 0 is a massive QoL upgrade

with Lumen

[lilac pine]

Are there any mods that make the to-do list viewable by all players?

[fervent marsh]

i have a friend crashing when playing on my dedicated server with the following error, has anyone seen an error like this?

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x000003fa00000003

i truncated the error to avoid spamming, if the rest is relevant im happy to provide

[stone olive]

Me and my friend both tried that (I use Epic, he has steam...)

[marble berry]

another fun day of crashing. lol.

[sharp bison]

overall I have had decent stability from u8 dedi on linux except for stuttering when (at least) one person is exploring new areas of the map, and a server crash sometimes when replacing a number of belts in quick succession

Gets a sigsegv trying to access connection data

[sharp bison]

I spoke too soon

found a drop pod that is empty and reliably crashes the server when trying to open it

[topaz pebble]

so i ran my factory cart of a mountain and either died are gliched through the floor, but now every time i login it crashes my client, can i reset my player profile or something server side ?

or do i have to use a save file editor ?

[clear lagoon]

have you tried restarting the server? that sometimes fixes issues like this

[young cosmos]

When I try to add my server, it tells me to authenticate. When I do put in a password nothing happens?

[clear lagoon]

are you putting in the admin password you created when you first claimed the server?

[young cosmos]

I figured it out

thank you anyway

that was my bad

I did not understand what it meant

[gentle delta]

So many random disconnect witn new update

[clear lagoon]

had any disconnects that are unrelated to hypertubes or vehicles?

[gentle delta]

no

[gentle delta]

@weak scarab

[weak scarab]

i have a problem on the server i got kicked and i was in a car with all my stuff and i can't get it back because there is an offline player in it

[clear lagoon]

you logged back in before the session timed out on the server so you got a new player character. if you can kill the offline player they'll drop a crate. I don't know if you can kill players in vehicles though. otherwise you might want to try SCIM

if you're running U8 with a server I suggest avoiding vehicles altogether for now

[dawn copper]

You can use explosives to kill players in vehicles

[gentle delta]

It doesnt works :/

[dawn copper]

It worked fine on my friends

[gentle delta]

but my character don't take damage

the is a no cleep mode ?

for example, it looks like my vehicle has fallen into a void - how do I make it appear on the map over and over again?
and the keep inventory function doesn't work

[topaz pebble]

i have yes, multiple times

[spare orbit]

just reload an older save?

[clear lagoon]

I think you can move your player using SCIM if you don't have an older save to revert to

[topaz pebble]

can i delete a player ?

[spare orbit]

can recommend setting the server save amount to 20, and maybe every 3 minutes.
experimental do be unstable, so you loose less when stuff happens when you have saves more often

the default amount is a bit risky sometimes

[spare orbit]

easier to load a save before it existed

[topaz pebble]

i know you've only said it 3 times already

but that is not an option

[spare orbit]

then idk. probably not

[gentle delta]

How ?

is there a way to teleport to a vehicle or player?

[errant acorn]

Does a dedicated server really need 12 GB RAM? Or is that system requirements for a computer that has stuff running?

Can I run it on a VPS with 2 or 3 GB RAM?

[clear lagoon]

no clue. you can try using external tools such as SCIM

[clear lagoon]

no

16 GB RAM is recommended for the dedicated server and U7 tends to come close to using all of it too. U8 might be able to run on less but not on that little

[gentle delta]

my server use 3.7gb of ram and 1core

[clear lagoon]

on U7 or U8?

[gentle delta]

idk

[clear lagoon]

experimental or stable?

[gentle delta]

experimental

[clear lagoon]

experimental uses a lot less memory than stable, yes

currently using 6G on my save on experimental. was 12G on stable

[gentle delta]

i'am good

[errant acorn]

But the game doesn't use anywhere near that? That makes no sense

Does COOP use that much more?

[desert walrus]

@topaz pebble scim

[loud minnow]

Update 7 did use that much ram for DS update 8 you can use 6GB of ram you will fine some big save used around 5GB of ram but never seen use more than that.. and I say at least 8 thread you will fine for end game people running one core will not be able to run end game without rubber banding or other issues imo..

[desert walrus]

Again... are you talking u8 or u7?

[deep turret]

4 threads is already pretty nice
I would say 8 is only slight improvement

I should test the 26mo save someone gave me for benchmark though

[desert walrus]

And that statement is incorrect anyways
Even on u8 you'll use upwards of 16gb of ram on large saves

[loud minnow]

You won’t

Unless you modify the config file to allow that

[deep turret]

I will test a save running above object limit soon
I will tell you how that goes RAM wise

[loud minnow]

I have a save that can use around 22Gb of ram but you have to change the config file to even run it.. no everyone has big saves like that..

[errant acorn]

u8 I guess since that will matter in a few weeks or so

But I am not playing experimental

[deep turret]

?

u8 is experimental

[loud minnow]

Yeah you can away with 4.. I run it on 8 out 32 threads and it was using around 50 percent of this 8 threads on a 800 hour save.. with spike to 70 percent on a single thread #dedicated-servers message as you can see on that pic

So you can get away with 4 but end game you might see some lag idk haven’t tested my self lol

[errant acorn]

But not forever

[deep turret]

but now it is and you said you are not playing experimental currently

[errant acorn]

That's right

I said a dedicated server on u8 will matter in a few weeks or so, referring to the release date (which I am guessing is in a few weeks)

So I want to know the requirements for u8 since I will be playing on that

[deep turret]

So you are talking about a dedicated server version you are not currently running ?

It wasn't explicit at first sight

[errant acorn]

I am not running anything. But I might want to play with friends and a dedicated server would be nice

But renting a server with that much RAM is not cheap...

[loud minnow]

Here you go #dedicated-servers message the server run fine the issue is the bug in the game like with vehicles, sound, hypertubes sorta fixed… etc.. so if you can handle the client crashing etc update 8 runs on DS lol sad the game just buggy atm imo

[deep turret]

that's what you said that confused me

[errant acorn]

I am confused as to why the server needs that much RAM when the game doesn't use that much RAM at all

[deep turret]

oooohhh

I get it now sorry

[errant acorn]

And it should need less in theory because it doesn't have graphics

[deep turret]

it's been long time since people did come with that

[loud minnow]

Well on update 8 if you get a sever with 6gb you will be fine with 4 core but that like the minimum imo and yes you don’t need a gpu lol

[deep turret]

and u8 is out it is more ambiguous (yes u8 run with way less ram usage)

[errant acorn]

6 GB RAM is just a lot still

How much does the server process use?

[loud minnow]

But the client machine like you own machine with the gpu then yeah you need 16gb of ram to play as the game

[deep turret]

it's not a validate and share frame kind of server
it have to do all the world calculations and running

[errant acorn]

Sure

[loud minnow]

Like I said #dedicated-servers message look here but a new game can start with 2GB of ram but for end game my 800hoir save was using 4.7GB of ram

[errant acorn]

Discord didn't really send me there correctly

I was confused what you were referring to

[deep turret]

2 to ~4 threads full load

[clear lagoon]

not sure about co-op but the dedicated server (especially before UE5) usually had much more of the map loaded than single player

[errant acorn]

Ah okay so that's why

[clear lagoon]

U8 has new world partitioning, but really it still depends on how far apart players are

[errant acorn]

I guess I could just host on my laptop and pay for a static IP so I can port forward

[deep turret]

why the emot ?

[errant acorn]

My laptop has 16 threads and 32 GB RAM

[errant acorn]

I was referring to RAM not threads

[deep turret]

used to use 10 start to 14 end GB of RAM on u7

[errant acorn]

That's insane. I doubt that it uses that much

[deep turret]

now use less
but is more dynamic apparently

[loud minnow]

Here they are again lol.. on UPDATE 8 a new SAVE will use around 1.7GB of ram with nothing in it.. an 800 hour save was using 4.7GB of ram... i had it running on 8 threads out of 32 on my rig and from what i say 8 threads where at 35-50 percent usage with single thread spike to 75+ percent on a modern cpu 3950X so that wouuld give you and idea what you need... you can get away like i said with 6GB of ram and 4 Threads but thats the minum imo for late game progress if you can make it there with all the bugs in the game lol

[errant acorn]

Is COOP without dedicated server less buggy?

Maybe I should wait a bit

Would you be able to move a save file to a DS?

[loud minnow]

i was able to load up an update 7 file no issues

but update 8 is very buggy imo

[deep turret]

threads moves between physical threads
the more physical threads you have the less physical threads use you will get
you can look at the process tree in htop to see thread use

[deep turret]

yes you can even get it back to single player game after

[loud minnow]

yeah but you can limit the resources or tell docker just to use certain threads etc..

im using this docker img for my server works great //hub.docker.com/r/wolveix/satisfactory-server

[errant acorn]

Oh nice

Wasn't planning on using Docker, but might be a good idea

[loud minnow]

i love docker compose and docker.. WAY better then running a VM imo.. you dont get a performance penalty like using a VM

[desert walrus]

Well yes but you're not seeing the actual use of s logical thread within the software

[errant acorn]

Oh yeah ofc

I am using Arch Linux on my laptop. Might host there

[clear lagoon]

I got 6G used on our three-player save in U8

for only the server

[desert walrus]

How far along are you in terms of progression

[clear lagoon]

"Tier 9"

[desert walrus]

@loud minnow hour counts are meaningless on dedis

[clear lagoon]

might be meaningful if pausing is enabled 😛

[loud minnow]

@deep turret @desert walrus yeah but why does that matter to the average user who just wants to start a server lol... you guys love to nitpick on things lol... the game will run on 1 one threads but will it run well NO... might point still stand you need a modern CPU with decent IPC and 6GB of RAM to start up a map and be able to get to end game is that better LOL...

[clear lagoon]

so much this ^^^ I was running it on a 8 year old Xeon first and boy that got bad quick XD

[desert walrus]

Thats fair
I'm not trying to nitpick, just to improve the general understanding

[errant acorn]

I got a Ryzen 7 6850U on my laptop

[deep turret]

4 will be very nice
more doesn't really give anything more

that was my point

start at 2 I would suggest

1 is no no

[desert walrus]

So at this point can we reccomend 8gb system memory to host a dedi?

[loud minnow]

yeah i get that im fine with that i understand what you trying to say but to the AVERAGE user who just want to start up a server he doesnt want to know the details they just want to know what is the minum to run the server lol

[clear lagoon]

if you're playing on a laptop, why not host a regular multiplayer session?

[errant acorn]

I am not going to play on it. I have my desktop PC

My laptop is a ThinkPad with no dGPU

[deep turret]

then 4 is a more realistic target than 8 that doesn't really give more

[loud minnow]

LOL

[errant acorn]

I feel like a dedicated server would be nicer than a peer-to-peer session in-game

[deep turret]

the super nice up
is it doesn't matter who connects first

So you can start your pc after diner while your friend wait you playing rn

[topaz pebble]

thanks

[limber gazelle]

Woah how do you change your tick rate and what's the advantage of having it above 30?

[clear lagoon]

server updates global state every tick. personally I don't think any advantage from higher tick rates is perceivable since that's every 33 milliseconds

[urban kettle]

im trying to make a server on the experimental branch but when i start the server it crashes

anybody knows how to fix?

[chrome pumice]

Does it give you an error?

[urban kettle]

not as i can see. am i allowed to upload logs here?

[loud minnow]

yeah

[spare orbit]

we changed the 30 to 60 in u7 and it helped a lot visually. on 30 all belt connections, so when two belt connect or go into a splitter etc were really laggy. so stuff got to the border, stopped and jumped few meters. sometimes whole belt kept empty and then everything rushed forward with lightspeed.
got way better at 60 ticks.
however, needed to revert the settings because the u8 server wasnt able of use more than 30 even half stable

[tiny raft]

I'm thinking about opening a dedicated server to the public to see what would happen it's just they are too unstable todo so

[tiny cape]

So uh... this is fun

I have a U8 experimental server and whenever anyone rides a vehicle be it a factory cart, tractor etc, the server will randomly disconnect you while riding the vehicle.

when you try reconnecting it just disconnects you immediately with a "Your connection to the server has been lost" error

I can resolve this by opening the server's save in SF Calculator and deleting the vehicle the user was riding at the time they got kicked... but this is a pain since we're now starting to rely on tractors at the moment for transporting materials from the opposite side of the map...

Anyone else had this happen?

Update; I'm back in but according to the game, my tractor fell through the floor, I died and the tractor still exists with me? on it?...

the thick plottens...

[past current]

restart server

server still thinks you're connected

you can also wait it out

[tiny cape]

I did... restarting both game server and client were my first port-of-call

[deep turret]

it is more consistent when you are doing a lot and or fast interactions
like quickly selecting object and placing it building it etc..

people would say that you are not building one thing 30 times a second
but reality is that:

• selecting build mode is an action
• moving target is an action
• rotating is an action
• moving yourself is an action
• binding object is an action
• updating angle is an action
  ....
  and with every of this things comes condition on your current location, what you are looking to etc
  if you are a fast player
  you may literally do all these things in half a second sometimes
  which means only 2 or so (game)frames per action
  and with its un stabilies
  which is enough to feel inaccurate clumsy and unreliable
  putting 2 more frames between makes each actions and result isolated and accurate enough to be noticeably more comfortable : that's 60 tick per seconds

keep in mind brain work way faster than 30 tick per seconds
it just has a high processing delay and implied reaction latency
informations start really breaking to dust in the hundreds per second

that's how you know for sure in what way and order things connected to your skin
you implicitly tracked every contact point events order and time distances
your nerves are more snappy than 30 ticks
and usually records up 250 changes per second

you are mostly able to differentiate well wind from cloth

final note :
and as brain is accommodate to high processing latency
it is usually well sensitive to sequence/ordering and timing

[sharp bison]

I think the belt upgrade crashes I triggered yesterday were a tick thing

sometimes when I upgraded stacked belts too rapidly I got a server crash for sigsegv on a method called something like GetConnection

was wondering whether it's something like if two upgrade events arrive within one server tick, one of them gets orphaned

you'd still have to be super rapid to trigger that behaviour in 1/30 of a second but maybe network jitter or similar can conspire to produce the behaviour
