dedicated-servers

[paper robin]

Can someone give me the quick 👍 or 👎 on if I should be running a U8 or U7 Dedicated server with me and 4 friends? I wanted to try the new U8 stuff with them, but I also don't want to invite frustration if it's not quite playable. Any thoughts are appreciated.

[desert walrus]

U8 dedis are pretty unstable atm

I'd go for u7 if you want to have a less crashy experience

[paper robin]

hmm yeah I'm testing hypertubes on U8 dedicated server, and I'm getting jerked around like crazy

[sullen atlas]

Anyone running a SF server using linuxgsm lately? I've failed to deploy the server on Debian 11 and Ubuntu 23.04. Server runs and everything looks fine until initial session creation. As soon as the world finishes generating for the first time, the server crashes and the player is DC'd

[sullen atlas]

And yes, I've set multihome to bind to all ipv4 addresses

I'm able to configure the server from the in-game GUI and create a session and all that. But when I finish loading, I catch a quick glimpse of the world before the server crashes and i'm disconnected

[loud minnow]

Post the logs that the only way to actually see what happen and yes you can post the whole thing here

[sullen atlas]

Will do in a moment, thanks. I deleted those VPS, spinning up a server on a new one at the moment and I suspect I'll have the same issue. I'll post the logs then.

Or maybe it'll work 😉

The log file

I installed steamcmd and configured/ran the server according to the linuxgsm scripts/instructions (can't post the link here due to whitelist)

I have tried running the server on debian 11, ubuntu 20.04, and CentOS. In all instances I encounter the same problem where the server runs until I create an instance using the in-game GUI, at which point the world will generate and the server will promptly crash.

I have tried binding multihome to all ipv4 addresses (0.0.0.0) as well as my server's public IP

My command line options associated with the error log posted above: ./UE4Server-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame -multihome=0.0.0.0 -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 -Port=7777 -log -unattended

[loud minnow]

I mean from the logs it doesn’t really say why It crash it just cuts off like it was running fine.. so it seems like your having either to low of ram to load that save or as I can see it start to load the assets in and I can see people trying to connect but it says no game loaded to be able to join..

But from the logs it never finishes loading all the assets into memory

[sullen atlas]

It's an 8gb server. Does that sound like enough for the initial loading of assets?

I also tried an entirely different server host provider -- was using Linode first, then digital ocean. Different regions as well. I noticed the warnings about steamlib.so / the steam API, so I managed to fix those manually (on a different server), but no dice.

I'm truly at a loss

Does the initial asset load consume more memory than when the server is restarted in the future? Maybe I could try migrating a world I've started on my local machine or something.

Currently trying to get a server going on a 16gb instance

But agree it looks like a memory issue -- I had that thought when I was first having these problems

Died again on 16gb, so seriously doubting memory is the issue.

[loud minnow]

Yeah is hard to know I host on my own machine using Debian and docker no issues at all

Here are my system specs so I’m pretty sure is something with your set up

[viral tapir]

Hm... I'm currently trying to host from Ubuntu using docker on my VPS and I'm running into issues

[sullen atlas]

If it's something to do with my setup, it would probably be network related. I've tried 3 data centers from completely different companies, AND I've run a satisfactory server in this fashion before with no issues whatsoever

[sullen atlas]

What kind of issues?

[loud minnow]

If your using some type of provider your going to have to do the leg work because I don’t use any provider as I think they are all pretty garbage for the money you pay and what you get imo

[viral tapir]

I believe my issue is also network related

Server starts with no notable errors, but I get an error upon trying to poll/join it

[loud minnow]

If is a provider most of the time it is

[sullen atlas]

This is the same problem I'm having. Are you running locally or on a remote server?

[loud minnow]

That just the normal timeout screen just mean your server didn’t respond to your request and timeout

[viral tapir]

It's on my VPS

Which I run 20+ other game servers from

[sullen atlas]

Who are you renting yoru server from?

[viral tapir]

Vultr

[sullen atlas]

What's the memory specs on the VPS?

To echo Ace, that message just means you're unable to communicate with your server. In my case, it's because my servers are crashing, which may or may not be network related (I'm suspecting it has something to do with ipv6 addressing but I really have no idea)

In case you're unfamiliar with the linux command line, just type "free" in your terminal

[viral tapir]

VPS has 64gb

[sullen atlas]

I see there's a linuxgsm docker image available. If that's what you're using, another commonality between us is that we're attempting to host using linuxgsm... Might have to try good 'ol fashioned, unadulterated steamcmd...

Yeah so definitely not a memory issue.

[loud minnow]

I’m using docker image by wolvix I believe works great

[viral tapir]

I'm running mine from Pterodactyl

Using an "egg" as they call it

[sullen atlas]

@viral tapir Can you post your server logs

Since Ace is running their server with no problem, and you and I are hosting over VPS, I feel this is more than likely an ipv6 addressing issue. I figured it would have been resolved by setting multihome to an ipv4 address, but that did not fix the issue for me.

I'm about to give up for the day. Been trying to get this working for 3.5 hours on multiple servers, data centers, and operating systems.

[viral tapir]

Lord... I'm not a network's guy, I'm more of a systems guy

I'll dm you it

[sullen atlas]

me etiher 😦

[loud minnow]

90 percent of time is network issues and mainly relating from ipv6 from what I’ve seen people post on here… I have disable IPv6 and using the launch command to force it to use IPv4

[sullen atlas]

@loud minnow Could you make it easy for me and give me a command to disable the ipv6 interface

Thanks @loud minnow , I fixed it by disabling ipv6 addressing. Run at your own risk, also this should only work until the server is rebooted

sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1

[chrome pumice]

If you set the multihome to the exact you might not need to disable ipv6. I have seen times where using 0.0.0.0 will still bind to the ipv6.

[tropic lagoon]

Hi There, I am running my Server on Peterodactyl (docker) on a Linux Root Server and I experience an extreme state of "unplayable". when playing on the server we have extreme delays and freezing every 1-2 min and the game will crash at least once every 20 min. (op to crashing while connecting)
Since I host other games as well from time to time without any issue, I do not think that the issue is due to a lack of server resources.
When Hosting the same save directly on my PC neither me or the other player have any issues.
Does anyone have an idea, what might be the cause for this problem?

[vale meteor]

How i join a dedicated server

[desert walrus]

What are the hardware specs of the server and what is allocated?

[tropic lagoon]

The server is running on an AMD EPYC™ 7702 (6 Dedicated cores), 32 gb ram anf 800 gb SSD
The Gameserver has 10gb ram and 14gb storage assigned.
However, when playing on the server, it is only using around 5-6 gb ram

[hollow basin]

Is anyope knows how to add mods on DedicatedServer

[sullen atlas]

I did try setting multihome to the exact IP address and still had the same problem. Sad to say that despite having disabled ipv6, the problem seems to have returned. The server crashes immediately on startup now.

[vale meteor]

How you even join one

[sullen atlas]

Anyway I'm really at a loss for how to overcome this issue with my dedicated server crashing immediately on any linux configuration. My logs are posted a bit above this message. I've taken these steps

• Bind multihome to all ipv4 addresses (0.0.0.0) as well as the IP address sepcific to my server
• Disable the packet router with the -DisablePacketRouting option
• Fully disable ipv6 using the sysctl command
• Run the satisfactory server on different OS variants: Ubuntu 23.04, Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 11, CentOS Stream 9
• Different cloud host providers (Digital Ocean, Vultr, Linode) in different regions (San Fransisco, New York, New Jersey)

I've been researching / troubleshooting this issue for 4 hours now. The very best result I've gotten is a single instance in which I was able to connect for 5 seconds before the server crashed. In all of my other tens of attempts, the server crashes immediately after a player joins, and the player is met with a timeout message on the game's main menu.

If anyone has any suggestions at all pertinent to running a dedicated Satisfactory server on Linux, I'd love to hear them.

I am not the only user with this issue. @viral tapir seems to be having similar problems.

[desert walrus]

What're the specs of the server?

[sullen atlas]

Current server specs

I've also encountered the same issue with a 16GB server instance

[sullen atlas]

See above

[desert walrus]

8 gigs isn't enough ram

[sullen atlas]

I tried with a 16GB instance last night

had the exact same problem

[desert walrus]

What's the crash?

[sullen atlas]

I'll fetch the logs I posted above, one moment

I agree, it looks very much like a memory issue -- but like I said, I'm having this exact problem on a 16GB instance. Is that also not enough memory?

I'm also monitoring the memory leading up to the crash, and it doesn't come close to the max available.

[sullen atlas]

Just for good measure, I created a 32Gb instance and am still having the problem. Again, memory consumption doesn't even come close to maximum before the server crashes.

[desert walrus]

That log is still using -multihome 0.0.0.0

[sullen atlas]

Fair enough, here is the log from the most recent crash where multihome is set correctly:

This was from only a few minutes ago

[loud minnow]

That log shows the sever running and even saving the world

[desert walrus]

You could try with -nosteam but probably not the issue

[storm briar]

I just got a Server from Nitrado and it doesnt show up on the Server Manager

[desert walrus]

First thing to try @sullen atlas

[storm briar]

its showing "NotifyAccetingConnection" Logs but in the Server Manager in appera offline

[sullen atlas]

I was too quick to assume the same problem had occurred. I was disconnected by timeout, as usual, but it appears the server didn't crash and I'm now able to connect.

I've previously hosted satisfactory servers in this exact manner (update 6) with an 8GB server. Are the requirements really so high now that I can't run it on anything less than 32GB? I tried several times on a 16GB instance and just couldn't get it working

[sullen atlas]

I tried that yesterday unfortunately. It's looking like this might be a memory issue after all, which is a shame, I can't afford a 32GB server. I'll either have to rent a game server or host locally; neither are really ideal for me

[loud minnow]

Depends on the save

[sullen atlas]

This is a brand new world

[desert walrus]

16 should be fine for anything but a very large save

8-12 for a normal save

[loud minnow]

Well@from what I’ve seen when I made a new world it only needed about 2GB on a big save around 10gb some people on here have use more tho

[desert walrus]

Is that with more ram?

[sullen atlas]

Ok. I'll do some more experimentation on a 16GB server, but I tried a couple of times yesterday and the server was invariably crashing after it created a new world

[sullen atlas]

Yes, 32GB RAM. Anything less seems to crash immediately for me.

[desert walrus]

It uses more ram during initialization, then settles in to a lower value

[storm briar]

Anyone had experience with Nitrado?

[loud minnow]

That usually on windows as windows cache the ram but on Linux i don’t see it come Down

[storm briar]

Says its running with 500mb so idk

[loud minnow]

Nope I don’t use any providers personally I just think you over pay for what you get for just hosting game server and they all suck imo lol

[desert walrus]

@sullen atlas you said that the connection did not work in that log you sent me the second time?

[sullen atlas]

Yeah that's why I don't rent game servers. I'm renting a VPS directly from cloud host providers.

[storm briar]

so root Server then?

[sullen atlas]

I was timed out immediately after the server started which led me to incorrectly assume the server had crashed again. The timeout seems to have been benign, as the server didn't actually crash. I reconnected and am sitting here in a world right now. The server is idly consuming 10GB on a brand new world with nothing in it except for 5 power poles

[loud minnow]

Vps are a little better as you get the whole machine but still paying to much just for playing a game is better just to self host imo and lest troubles too

[desert walrus]

That sounds pretty normal except the timeout
I'm not seeing the timeout/disconnect in the log though

[sullen atlas]

Yeah I just don't have a machine at home I can reliably host a dedicated server on, unfortunately

[desert walrus]

That sounds almost like a client-side issue

[sullen atlas]

Well thanks for your help everyone. I feel stupid for not realizing this was a memory issue. Lots of time spent troubleshooting lol. Update 8 must have come with a significant increase in resource consumption. I've hosted satisfactory servers with 8GB RAM numerous times in the past

[hybrid arch]

honestly just paying 12$ and not having to worry about updating a server etc or overloading my home server it's worth it

[sullen atlas]

I see now the dedicated server minimum specs have been pushed up to 12GB, so that makes sense

[vale meteor]

can i join someone his dedicated server

[loud minnow]

You still have to update the server no matter what as game patches come out lol.. but yeah I don’t say don’t use them I just prefer hosting on my own equipment as is going to be way better than anything out there being offered and it was just made with left over PC parts lol

[hybrid arch]

updating the os/packages to keep it secure i mean, and in my case i don't have a spare pc just laying around that has 12+gb ram and a recent cpu

i already rent a vps for 10€ a month but it doesn't have nearly as much power to run a server for this, same for my 3 servers at home

i also had the outlook that game server hosts weren't worth it but with how little hassle it is, i just caved in with this one

[loud minnow]

I mean is just a game server what are you going to keep secure lol.. but yeah I get your point.. in the long run is just better to host a simple game sever on your own machine that’s my point of view and for me I enjoy getting new hardware and the old hardware just get turn to servers lol

All from left over parts lol

[hybrid arch]

it's gonna take many years of 12$ a month for a home game server to be worth it haha

wow that's better than my home pc

[loud minnow]

Yeah my main rig has a 5950x 128gb 3600cl16 ram kit and 3090 I built it when the 3090 released and the left over parts like the 3950x and 64GB ram.. the motherboard was an extra that I had to buy with the bundle 5950x lol

[hybrid arch]

my most used one

[hybrid arch]

sheesh. i got 96gb ram now so that's probably the most powerful right now, ryzen 3600 and a gtx 1070

i don't think this one can run a satisfactory server

[loud minnow]

That my main rig

[hybrid arch]

wew, really time for me to upgrade gpu, cpu can probably stay for another 10 years

[loud minnow]

This is the left over parts server pc lol

Not as pretty but she got it where it counts lol

[hybrid arch]

cable management is overrated

[shell python]

I'm curious, is this some sort of server hosting software?

[hybrid arch]

no just neofetch

[fresh parcel]

I'm just surprised you haven't switched to liquid cooling yet

[hybrid arch]

liquid cooling is quite overrated i've heard, with the upkeep required if it's a real loop

[loud minnow]

I was planning to but would of been around 1000usd just for the water cooling parts so I’ll wait for the next build which will be when the 5000 series come out and hopefully 8950x with V-cache on both CCDs to replace the 5950x and hopefully also with better ddr5 controller to pair with 128gb 6000mhz or more just depends what available.. then this rig would become another server and the 3090 to learn about running LLM on this machine which would be perfect for that..

[past sable]

Anyone had belt loading issues or problems placing down blueprints when on a dedicated server? Im about 70-80 hours in and stuff is starting to take a long time to load when i place it down

[tropic lagoon]

Hi There, I am running my Server on Peterodactyl (docker) on a Linux Root Server and I experience an extreme state of "unplayable". when playing on the server we have extreme delays and freezing every 1-2 min and the game will crash at least once every 20 min. (op to crashing while connecting)

However, when playing on the server, it is only using around 5-6 gb ram

Does anyone have an idea, what might be the cause for this problem?

[hybrid arch]

what's the model of the ssd? (does it have a cache?)

[chrome pumice]

Up the autosave interval. Upping the tickrate might help but some people don't notice a difference with that.

[spare orbit]

our server uses only hdds and runs really good. so ssd isnt needed and makes no difference

im sure the problem is the client

[tropic lagoon]

I am quite unshure that the issue lies on the client as we do not experiecne the mentioned issues, when I am hosting the same savegame as a multiplayer session on my pc

[spare orbit]

ive never even close experienced similar stuff on our server

[desert walrus]

Can you post the log?

[spare orbit]

14 gb storage seems too less for the game btw

[tropic lagoon]

may I ask, where can I change the Tickrate?

[tropic lagoon]

where can I find it?

[spare orbit]

upping the tickrate makes it more unstable, wouldnt touch

log is just the shell output

[tropic lagoon]

It is using 5,5gb out of 14 available. seem unrealistic to ge an issue

[spare orbit]

ah, well, never checked.
our server has several tb

ram sounds okay, similar usage on our end, often less, so that should already be the peak

what are the cores exactly. so, what speed

also that aint a rootserver, its a vserver

[tropic lagoon]

Got the log here. it is quite large as it is from 25.07. till totay, however the issuee also appeares again emediatly after restarting

[tropic lagoon]

I got 6 cores of an AMD EPYC™ 7702 .
No other gameserver had an issue with performance before, even quite large MC Modpacks

[hybrid arch]

ssd's without a cache will run worse than an old hard drive, especially when using a lot of the space

[spare orbit]

just about naming.
because expectations are different then

[desert walrus]

... no

[spare orbit]

the game is basically single threaded, so you need a high single core performance

[hybrid arch]

oh yes it will, i have a kingston a400 in my pc at work and it's dog slow when starting up or loading a lot of stuff, had it happen with friends too and there's threads about it online

[spare orbit]

ive never heard of an ssd without cache tbh

[hot flax]

the really cheap ones have no cache IIRC

[hybrid arch]

it happens on cheap ssd's sometimes

[desert walrus]

That's not because of the lack of dram, it's the fact that it's a dog-tier drive

500mb/s sequential read

[hybrid arch]

that's what my current ssd in my pc at home is and it's great

[tropic lagoon]

have you been able to spot anytzhing in the Logs?

[desert walrus]

Haven't looked yet, making lunch

[hot flax]

isn't that about what a SATA SSD does?

[hybrid arch]

yeah i have a sata ssd

[desert walrus]

The actual sata interface is capable of a lot more

[hybrid arch]

if you actually want a lot of speed then spending more money makes sense, but i think for most people the entry tier stuff with dram is just fine

[desert walrus]

Just buy nvme not sata at this pint

[hot flax]

I mean at this point you can get a terabyte of really good SSD for 50-100 bucks

[hybrid arch]

yeah i bought sata for my m2 slot because it was cheaper at the time, but i don't think i'll notice the difference

[desert walrus]

You'd notice the difference
At similar price nvme absolutely blows sata speeds out of the water
4x improvement min

[hybrid arch]

i'm limited by my gigabit internet anyway

programs open instantaneously

[desert walrus]

🤦‍♂️

[hybrid arch]

on paper it has better speeds but i don't see the point personally when i have other bottlenecks

[desert walrus]

Game and os loading times are the biggest things
Also any program that's not pretty lightweight will see a launch time improvement

[hybrid arch]

i keep my pc on 24/7 and the few games i play load in a few seconds, i guess lightroom at maybe 15 secs is the worst one 🤷‍♂️

so yes one improvement, i'll buy an nvme ssd some day

[short star]

I'm having problems with my server, I keep getting connection timed out error when joining.

[pine mist]

You can update a few of your settings to combat this. I followed a troubleshooting guide on indifferent broccoli where my server is hosted. cant post link since its not whitelisted

[short star]

DM me the link it would be very helpful. I've tryed playing arond with the .ini files with no luck.

[jade turret]

Hi fellow pioneers, i'm trying to get a dedicated satisfactory with update 8 running (so experimental) on a ubuntu home server, i've followed the official guide and i believe i've gotten a server up and running correctly, however i cannot connect to it from my personal computer with the game client, i can add and find my server via the server manager, but once from there i cannot connect to it as i time out after a couple of seconds, anyone with ideas?

i've ofc googled it prior to this, and found alot of threads about the connection time stuff, and i've edited the server config file, and changed network settings to ultra and all that, as well as double checked that my TZ is correct on both machines

[hollow breach]

Did you open the ports through ufw or whatever firewall you are using?

[jade turret]

yeah, got a router with openwrt installed, portforwarded 15777, 15000 and 7777. i've double checked so the ubuntu machine is listening on those three above

[desert walrus]

U8 ip assignment is broken

Use -multihome <desired ipv4 adress>

[hybrid arch]

shouldn't nat work regardless? and if there was a firewall on the ubuntu machine it wouldn't show up in the server manager either?

[jade turret]

i'm on U8 experimental though. but either way, say if that ip assigniment thingy is broken

[desert walrus]

For some reason u8 servers default to ipv6

[hybrid arch]

ouch

[jade turret]

intresting

so.. should i do ./FactoryServer.sh - multihome mymachinelocalip then?

when starting it?

[desert walrus]

Yup

[jade turret]

Alright, gonna give that a try and see what happens then

Nice, it worked, thanks alot @desert walrus !

[desert walrus]

Yep, glad it worked

[hybrid arch]

my god the dedicated server is actually almost unusable with how buggy it is, especially with more than one player

[desert walrus]

Go to u7

[hybrid arch]

i am on u7

[desert walrus]

Its much better

[hybrid arch]

i can't count how many times when i've disconnected or the server started timing out when my friend joined and i lost all my items and have to restart again to get them, too tiresome

[desert walrus]

Yeah it sounds like u8 is pretty bad
I've put in around 50 hours on u6/7 dedis and only had a few peoblems

[hybrid arch]

this is only u7, i've never even tried u8

[desert walrus]

Oh
Those aren't normal issues then

How are you hosting it?

[hybrid arch]

game server host

[desert walrus]

Which one

[hybrid arch]

indifferent broccoli

[desert walrus]

Weird, I've heard mostly good things about them

[hybrid arch]

maybe i'm doing unconventional things

[short star]

does anyone know how to increase the timer for the connection timer, because I keep on getting connection timed out errors.

[hybrid arch]

that doesn't sound like a good thing to begin with, you can't even do anything while it loses connection anyway

[chrome pumice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files It is shown in this wiki.

[short star]

I've tried that, I has not worked

the timer is still 30s

[frosty gale]

Hey there, I don't know if this has been asked yet, but my Client doesn't seem to even try to connect to servers. Regardless of what IP I enter, and I've tested it with 2 known good servers now, my client always shows me "This server appears to be offline" with "Server name pending" and "NotAuthenticated" below. Does anyone here know how to fix it? I'm on Epic and have already verified the files in the launcher. What can I do?

Btw. the console shows this: [2023.07.29-15.20.13:883][513]LogNet: NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: [my ip]:50819

[desert walrus]

Yes
Just use the discord search to look in this channel

[frosty gale]

I've reinstalled the game, same problem.

[errant acorn]

Wow the server crashes a lot when dismantling (u7)

Happens so much that it's annoying

I just dismantled one single glass foundation and it crashed

I would set it to autosave every 2 mins instead of every 5 to reduce the amount of work I have to redo everytime it crashes. But it lags when saving as well... So it's either more lag or more redoing my work

[desert walrus]

Likely an issue with your network connection/settings

[red mountain]

Hello, I run the DS on my own PC but it tells me that i have mismatched versions between the Server and the Game. Does omebody know how to fix this. I run The server through the Epic games DS.

[desert walrus]

Which version is your client?

[red mountain]

Game: 211839
Server:240610

[desert walrus]

Well then that's your problem lol

[red mountain]

Ok

[desert walrus]

You need to switch to the experimental branch on your game client

Or preferably switch the server to early access as u8 dedis are pretty unstable

[red mountain]

Yeah I just found out i was using the wrong DS from epic games

[reef gull]

Is that compared to U7 or just in general? I haven't been keeping up, so sorry for the newb question.

[hybrid arch]

u7 dedicated is quite unstable too

[spare orbit]

servers always were like u8 clients. a bit of random where it works and where not

so need to try to say something about

u7 seems to be fine for most people

[hybrid arch]

i had to stop using it even though i loved the offline production

[vital jackal]

Hello, can someone help me with a experiemental server?

I was hosting a Update 7 server, but i want to upgrade to experimental

but now i can't connect to my server

[spare orbit]

disable ipv6 on the server

[vital jackal]

how i do it?

[spare orbit]

linux with sysctl: #dedicated-servers message

also only works until reboot. for permanent, you would need to edit configs

[vital jackal]

ok, I run the command on the server terminal or the pc terminal?

sorry for the question, but i am starting at servers }

[spare orbit]

uh, its an os setting

[vital jackal]

0: where I do that

[spare orbit]

what kind of server is that

[vital jackal]

Its runing on a Debian 12 i think

[spare orbit]

what means you think. who is the admin?

[vital jackal]

Its my server, im not sure of the debian version

I think is 12

[spare orbit]

im concerned about the security of it ngl

[vital jackal]

But is on a separated Pc, just is for running servers from time to time.

[spare orbit]

but yeah, its in the normal shell of the server

[golden jackal]

Hey all, been running a dedicated server for a good while now on a separate windows computer, worked all fine.
Suddenly I started getting issues with being unable to place belts, they would stay either blue or totally invisible and it happens like near 80% of the belt I try to place atm

Keeping the cmd of the server open on the background to check things, I also notice the server 'closed' the connection with me while I am in fact still in the server, pretty weird stuff but it gets pretty game breaking at this point.
Rebooting and all does obviously not work, are any of these issues known and are there things I could try to fix?

[vital jackal]

Thanks you, it worked

[mint wave]

Are there any updated pterodactyle eggs made for the server?

[knotty mist]

Since there is no regular dedicated channel for EA version, I hope this is right place to put it.

We had encountered server crashes yesterday, and it was as soon as you press "Record" for the truck route.
After 3-4 crashes, it just stopped. Recording and routes are working as intended.

[deep turret]

early access dedicated server is still experimental so yes it is there too

[visual vapor]

ok im confused the server is running in my taskmanager and was up then i set the name and password and it closed

ok i fixed it

oh whats a good tickrate for the server

[spare orbit]

just default

[visual vapor]

so 30 right

thats my average rn

[spare orbit]

its not a competitive shooter

so yeah

[visual vapor]

i mean can i change it to make it more smooth for others i have the pc to support it

[spare orbit]

mostly gets more unstable instead of smooth

[visual vapor]

oh ok

[spare orbit]

can work, doesnt have to

quite random

[visual vapor]

anything else that i might need to know i legit just got the game

and i dont exactly know how to allow people to join my server can i just invite them once in game?

[spare orbit]

they need the ip

[visual vapor]

im running it dedicated from my pc which ip would it be i forgot

[spare orbit]

your external one.
also needs port forwarding

[visual vapor]

which port?

[spare orbit]

read the wiki article of the dedicated server setup

[visual vapor]

uh it says the server is not authenticated for my friend and i port fowarded and restarted my router

im so confused the server says it ofline for me to but i can see that its running in my task manager

[glass prism]

I am incapable of joining dedicated servers that have been made with friends. And i'm at a loss for why it would notlet me connect. all I get is "your connection to the host has been lost" error message after about a minute of loading.
Server Customer support seems unable to help me, My ISP seems unable to help me. Friend on Steam version can connect just fine. I cannot connect on EGS version. I'm at my wits end here and considering just buying it on Steam in hopes it works.

Things we have tried to fix this issue:

1. Reinstalled the game...
2. Verified the cache...
3. Changed IP and Port...
4. Restarted my Modem...
5. Factory Reset my Modem
6. Port Forwarding
7. Extending Connection Time
8. Setting my Connection to Ultra.
9. Disabled Firewall

[visual vapor]

do i need to port foward ipv6 too? or just ipv4

[wispy shale]

i have a question,
I wanna set up a dedicated server,
but i am looking for an mod to prevent cheating,
i have some friends that can not play a game without doing that,
they probaly use wemod or somthing like that
is there a way to prevent that?

[glad nest]

99% of those cases are port forwarding issue, atleast when firewall as well is disabled

[hybrid arch]

The easy solution is to just kick them off if they cheat, you gotta set boundaries

[wispy shale]

I agree but sadly in the friend group it's a lil sensitive.
And making it not possible to cheat,
Makes it les of a huge deal for them, so the atmosphere will be more plessent

[hybrid arch]

So don't invite them

Problem is clear, if they're not willing to adapt then neither can you

[glad nest]

kick them if they are cheating and say it's the anticheat?

dunno if they get a message telling them otherwise

never kicked anyone

in that way you'll be the anticheat and it doesnt really have to be a lie either

[wispy shale]

Again yeah I really do agree,
But again.
For the discussion and atmosphere reasons it rather have something
That can block them server wise (block the cheats)
But if it does not exist than.
Yeah then there is no other option

[spare orbit]

thats usually not a game where something like cheat protection is a topic, because multiplayer is highly experimental anyway and then the genre is quite bad for random servers, so in almost all cases its with people knowing each other a bit and at least talk together.
so there is no cheat problem per design. only when doing random servers, where the randomness alone is the larger problem, because nothing will work without communication.
so you have to talk about that. just blocking cheats wont fix the communication

[hybrid arch]

I would almost get pissed if easy anti cheat popped up when I started the game

[hot flax]

ring 0 anticheat for competitive factory building

5v5 matchmaking :^)

[hybrid arch]

Sad future

I refuse to even try valorant

[hot flax]

honestly I think a competitive factory game could be interesting

[hybrid arch]

Definitely, first to do x thing

[hot flax]

no, more like build the ammo to supply artillery to blast the opponents factory to bits

bit like a rts with extra logistics and belts probably

[hybrid arch]

True, combined

Rts for some players and fps for some

[wispy shale]

Yeah okay ur right about that if it was an anonymous random join server thing than it's a different talk.
And talking wise ur right. Trough I can't count anymore how much hour I tried to talk with these people about cheating and that isn't fun for anyone else.
U always get :
I would not cheat
I am not cheating
It's a game bug etc
So talking wise I gave uo
But thank u for thinking with me!

[wispy shale]

U could easily do anti cheat server wise.
Does not need to contain in the actual game ( like a mod)
They do it allot in minecraft world

[hybrid arch]

now that you say it, this game doesn't use p2p right? people can't just spawn in items from nowhere right?

and if that's not the case, i don't know what a cheat would even do

[wispy shale]

What I know. Wemod let them: never die, Jump really high, Duplicate stuff and
Get all invertory slots unlocked. Stuff like that

[frosty gale]

But what do i need to change?

[weak ferry]

But why would you cheat in a factory building game?!

And if you wanna cheat there is something called Advanced game options for you to play with in your own worlds

[frosty gale]

I have tested it in the early access version as well. It just won't connect and I want to know why. It is just always shown as offline in my client despite the fact that the server is running

[chrome pumice]

Where is the server in relation to you?

[wispy shale]

maybe they are to lazy to play the game like u should, and take the easy way?
anyhow we are off to another discussion what does not fit here🙃

[frosty gale]

About 130km away i guess

[chrome pumice]

What is your startup command and how do you handle the port forwarding?

[desert walrus]

Have you played the original DOW games?

[modest sleet]

[boreal lance]

Hello fellow Pioneers! I’m wondering if 1) this is the best place for the post and 2) there is a good place to review other troubleshooting for my problem.

The problem(s) being… my friend and I have a sever through GPortal bc we wanted the server to always be up and either of us could join whenever. However, we seem to be encountering a lot of connectivity issues and bugs. I’m thinking this is likely related to the multiple nature of the game and it’s bugyness (I say this bc I don’t see things bugs on so singleplayer). Here are things we’re seeing: multiple vehicles fall through the map. I fall through the map a bunch (usually after a disconnect). We have to relog bc we can’t use any keys (the game doesn’t freeze, we just can’t do anything), trees “regrow” at unpredictable times but we can’t cut them down… the list goes on.

I appreciate any constructive feedback.

[desert walrus]

Are you en experimental or early access?
Either way it sounds like gportal is underprovisioning their hosts

[boreal lance]

Experimental.

[versed snow]

Found out what happened, basically when i clear or save a blueprint, it makes a critical error. I suggest to others to not use it

Are you currently struggling with laggs? I tested it on 2 different servers but both lagged like shit

[orchid mason]

my dedicated server regularly crashed when auto saving, does anyone have a clue why and hopefully a solution for the issue it's running into? it happens multiple times a day when playing (but not every time when it tries to save the game);

[desert walrus]

Don't deconstruct too fast or increase network quality/tickrate

[desert walrus]

I need the entire log as well as some additional information to help you with that issue

[spice dust]

are the server console commands changed from what it says on the wiki? "FG.NetworkQuality 3" isn't a valid command

[karmic merlin]

which console command to increase network quality on the server

or is it done on the client side?

[stoic mist]

nvm. turnsout i have a Dynamic ip!
its solved now, thanks

[desert walrus]

I would reccomend that all clients set network quality to high or ultra(all should be the same)
You can use the command FG.NetworkQuality to adjust it (2 for high and 3 for ultra quality) or you can edit the config files as explained here https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files

[chrome pumice]

Unless they have fixed it in the last week console commands do not work right now.

[desert walrus]

For experimental

[spice dust]

yes, this is #dedicated-servers

[desert walrus]

Dedicated servers as a whole are an experimental feature
There is still an early acess and an experimental branch of the server, both of which this channel is dedicated to

[dull geyser]

I am experiencing an issue with setting up a ded server whereby I can see the server but whenever I or a remote client try to connect to it the server fails with the following message:

I have tried editing the ini files and setting the tick rate to 9999, I have port forwarding on 7777, 15777 and 15000 as well as ensuring UFW rules are set up. I have tried locally using the local IP address as well as through my DNS server and public IP

This is the server side while trying to access the server over a local IP

I have also tried both main branch and experimental branch with similar results

Is there anyone that could point me in the right direction please?

[desert walrus]

That looks like u8 if I'm not mistaken

If so, append -multihome <server ip> on launch

[dull geyser]

will try it now. Thanks

like so?

[desert walrus]

On server launch

[dull geyser]

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

Like that

[desert walrus]

yep

As long as you're connecting over lan

[dull geyser]

my pc is on wifi but i can ping the server. Same error message though.

The Dedicated server is running debian

the client picks the server up both via the DNS and port forwarding and via the local IP

[spare orbit]

several things.
first, everything after -log -unattended gets truncated, so they have to be last. and since this is linux, you can remove both, because they are implicit anyway.
second. there is a missing = after multihome, this one wont work
also setting default ports makes low sense, so just start with multihome as single option

[desert walrus]

Oof yeah I didn't pay enough attention to that command lol

Thanks

[spare orbit]

so
./FactoryServer.sh -multihome=192.168.1.2
should do it

[dull geyser]

thank you

trying now

[spare orbit]

also

setting the tick rate to 9999
thats a really bad idea, why would you introduce major instability on purpose

also its easy

the server tries to bind to ipv6

#dedicated-servers message

[desert walrus]

I've seen a ton of people setting absurdly high tickrates trying to resolve various issues lately and not sure where that idea is coming from

[spare orbit]

the idea that tickrate doesnt impact the performance and its just a random limit

[dull geyser]

The error said timeout, I was trying to eliminate some form of timing issue by upping it, however clearly that didnt fix it

[spare orbit]

especially on u8, wouldnt touch that

tickrate is how many calcs the server will do per second

has nothing to do with timeout

so instead of sync and calc everything 30 times per second you said it should do it 9999 times per second

[dull geyser]

aah

oops

[spare orbit]

there are timeout values, but you dont need to touch them. when you cant connect in 20 seconds, something is wrong

and here its, because the server want to route you over ipv6, so disable that

i gave the message link for that

also: that disables ipv6 on the machine globally, but just until reboot. if you want that forever, you need to hardcode that in the system settings

[dull geyser]

thanks, i will setup the service once i get it working from commandline

[spare orbit]

i actually just screen it. dont trusting the software enough to automate stuff

[dull geyser]

Works like a charm, thank you good sir you are a gentleman and a scholar.

hello. i been playing on my own dedicated server and everything running smooth so far! i have one major issue though...
if i/friend wants to join my server, the ip must be written before. okay fair enough, makes sense. but...
if somehow an outage happened, or my isp got issues, or something else, whatever it is... the modem had to be reseted. then you must to take the new ip, share it with others who wants to play, so everyone can play on your dedicated server!
this is because of the Dynamic ip thing, i know. is there a way of fixing it? can i put my dedicated server on a specific ip?
thank you.

[desert walrus]

Yes, you can

Do so in your router settings

[chrome pumice]

If your public IP keeps changing then you would need to talk to your ISP.

[desert walrus]

Many times it's possible to disable dynamic ip
Just depends on your isp

[chrome pumice]

Most charge extra to have static at least from my experience.

[potent shell]

You could use dynamic DNS (you’ll have to look it up, links aren’t allowed). If the ip changed you’d still have to wait for the record to be updated, but at least it’s automatic.

[frozen adder]

Can someone help me

[frozen adder]

?

[keen raft]

never seen something like that

[chrome pumice]

It's just a standard timeout error. Could be pretty much anything.

[frozen adder]

So you can't do anything specific

Hi, im trying to set up my own dedicated server. On the PC i want to use as the server host i run Ubuntu linux 22.10. I followed the tutorial by Geekhead and everzthing worked, but if i try to start the server it instantlz shuts down. Ill send mz logs in the following txt

[errant acorn]

A Docker image for a dedicated server

[shrewd dirge]

thanks but how do i use this? Im new to linux so i dont know much about it, whic means i dont know what a Docker image is

[glad nest]

just follow the steps added on github mate, you dont really need to do anything beside installing docker unless you want to

[chrome pumice]

Could you give anymore more info then this timeout error screenshot? Like was this on creation of the server or has the server been running for a while?

[grim nest]

I get the same

[errant acorn]

Just edit the docker compose and run the command for starting a docker container from compose (easy to find online)

[bold ibex]

Anyway to transfer a servers world to a singleplayer world?

[shell python]

I'm not sure about servers, but I'd assume you'd just look for the .asv (or whichever it ends with) file within the server and load that up?

[desert walrus]

Just need to get the save file from the server and put it in save directory for client

[grim nest]

can you use 3rd person in a dedicated server

i know there is a mod for it in SP but can you do it in dedicated serve ri run my own server adn would liek to have it

[spare orbit]

no idea, we arent the modding discord
for me it sounds like a client side mod

[grim nest]

no i understand that im talkign about the dedicated server

it cant be mnodded but can the game be playe din 3rd perosn

[loud minnow]

No mods on dedicated servers Mods Not Supported

[grim nest]

yes i understand that

can a dedicated server be put into 3rd person? i know it cant be modded

also does anyone know how i can change my command line

LogInit: Command Line: -log -unattended -ServerQueryPort=33012 -Port=8082 -BeaconPort=33014
sorry im trying to change my port numbers and i dont know how, bad short term memory dont remember how i did this change

[chrome pumice]

Anything after -log -unattended get trunkated. Move the port info before those two.

[grim nest]

Ty

[desert walrus]

No... the dedicated server still uses the normal game client

hey, im getting a timeout on my satisfactory server, but it does load it in for a ping check, did anything change as of late? I mean i didnt run this server for a while, but it did seem to reach it and talk to it in the beginning, i dont see anything in my ufw logs regarding dst port 15777, i get the error of attached image. Was there any defaults changed or something?

I tried both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses of my server too, but suddenly i have no other ideas.

It used to host the live version, which i changed with steamcmd, but i didnt uninstall it first, just ran it with -beta experimental flags and it seemed to be reconfigure just fine.

Is it possible to download a save file from the game itself? SOmehow My Server hosting Program AMP got super bugged and Has hidden my save file not where it should be.

[spare orbit]

savefile is in the .config folder of your home

the only thing that resembles a save file is a pak file that corrupts when i open the copies.

whatever the AMP dev did im so over it.

i wish i could migrate my save someplace but i cant even extract it.

[spare orbit]

[reef snow]

Hey everyone, our dedicated server is set to restart and reset every 4 hours EST.

On the restart there's typically 5min of lost progress because the server does not save before the restart.
Additionally I'd like to make the autosave interval longer and I know how to do so, but there's a challenge.
Toward the late game autosaves can become a burden sometimes causing crashes and player death, so I'd like to limit the number of autosaves to two or three per hour.
If I change the interval to something like 20 minutes to stop the autosave lag in game, then we'll potentially lose 20 mins of progress during the restart.

Is there a way to force the server to save before it initiates a restart?

Thanks!

[deep turret]

ngl, it sounds like you are trying to do convoluted things that will not work for you
you need to access the files on your running server and get to satisfactory save files directory in it

it starts as
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\FactoryGame on windows
~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame on Linux

(Linux or Windows on which the server is running)

[spare orbit]

thats actually easy.
hook the restart interval on the log of the game.
so instead of just restarting on a fixed time, check the output when the last save was and then queue the restart to the next autosave time + 1 min
since you know the autosave interval, thats doable

so adapt your restart schedule to the savegames, not the other way.
also, why restarting?
our server runs non stop for weeks now without any problem

cant see any benefit from that

ah wait the full server? oh and its not every 4 hours but provably 4 in the morning.
hopefully its a Windows server. they need restarts, linux hates it

also server autosave has no lag

we just have the 5 minute interval. even used 3 minutes in u7, because it was more unstable and corrupted itself often

[vivid schooner]

App data local is for local savegames that i have. It is not in that folder cause its hosted on my amp server that should be in the amp datastore. But it is not, in either.

My save is in windows.pak, which cannot be opened due to corruption issues.

Its not an issue of the program running cause ive taken backups of the server and ran extractions on those seperate files.

This is where it should be, but in this entire subset the only file that can possibly be it due to the logs pointing right at it. And the filesize being 3.7gb. Is the windows.pak

Please satisfactory devs, could you add an option or console command that downloads the xxx.sav file to my pc from the dedi.. so i can successfully extract my save. Would be wonderful.

[deep turret]

I said on the server, so not locally

when the server is running, access the server file, and on the server it will be in one of these 2 folder

[marble berry]

moving around radioactive stuff with client and server crashes is quite dangerous. 🙂

[stoic mist]

thanks to@desert walrus, @chrome pumice & @potent shellfor answering my question. i got few other ideas tho!
lets say i want to keep the dynamic ip but i want the server to be on a specific ip so me and my friends can join without adding new ip every time something goes down.
is it possible? and how?
thanks agian.

[chrome pumice]

Either your router/modem will have a setting, or you would need to talk to your ISP about getting a static IP. I would talk to your ISP before making any changes to your equipment.

[stoic mist]

you talking about switchin from dynamic to static ip. my question is, is there a way to keep it dynamic but to make the ip one?
or you're saying its not possible, it has to be static?

[chrome pumice]

You can try adding the IP as static on the machine, but that might cause issues on the ISP side.

[desert walrus]

I'd think it would be fine
You could just try -multihome <desired ip>

[potent shell]

Buy a domain and use Cloudflares dynamic DNS service to keep the domain updated with whatever public IP your ISP assigned you

[desert walrus]

That solution requires a recurring financial commitment

[spare orbit]

imagine not having an own domain

[potent shell]

It does not

[desert walrus]

You gonna get a domain for free?

As well as cloudflare services

[potent shell]

Setting aside the fact that dynamic IP's rarely change, there are two solutions that would satisfy the conditions set by @stoic mist. The first is a static IP address, and the second is to own a domain and use Cloudflares free dynamic DNS service.

Buying a domain is significantly cheaper and easier.

[desert walrus]

Dynamic IPs can change once a week or more depending on various factors

[potent shell]

@stoic mist, after a little googling it seems there's a site called "freenom" that advertises free domains ending in .TK / .ML / .GA / .CF / .GQ. They claim the renewals are also free....

[knotty vortex]

or try NoIP. i used there free service for a while and the only requirement was to aknowledge once per month that you were still using the service

[potent shell]

yeah, if they're ok with the recurring use acknowledgement then NoIP could be a good option.

[stoic mist]

thanks. will try out some ideas

[woeful iron]

I havent seen this bug talked about but whenever someone logs out and logs back into my server the game creates a new character for them and leaves an extra doppleganger sitting where they logged out at with their inventory

[reef snow]

It's been happening since U6

Seems to be Dedicated servers specifically

[frosty gale]

there are actually dynamic IPs that change only after rebooting the router

[frosty gale]

You can actually do a script that launches your server and sends via webhook the ip to anywhere you need, this is how i did it

[deep turret]

this is basically how dns providers dynamic ip reporting tools works
some providers like OVH let you implement it all as you need
(I made a fully configurable compatible script if you are interested)

(python script, expected to be cross-platform)

[frosty gale]

And actually because of static White IP my local IP sometimes changes itself too, so i wrote this:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

REM Getting your pc local ipv4 IP adress
for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%i in ('ipconfig ^| findstr /c:"IPv4 Address"') do (
    set "local_ip=%%i"

@stoic mistactually the python part might not work, but the launching command with current local ip adress will work

[frosty gale]

may i see it ? sounds interesting

[deep turret]

it's not really clean code as of standard of spacing and comments but it's made to be really reliable
used in production

enjoy

wait may resetup the default file location for portability / crossplateform

json.dump to relative path file : not tested
PS: license is GPL v3

[frosty gale]

i can fix it for you

[deep turret]

it's oneshot script btw, launch it everytime you want it to check and/or update for ip

easily can be setup as a systemd timed service for instance

oh, btw : I publish it here under gpl.v3

[deep turret]

I expect you to get a bit lost on the ids/record recovering process
first, keep in mind the process only triggers itself when OVH api is showing unexpected behavior
that's the extent at which I was saying this script is made to be reliable

the last improvement I would bring to this script is a fail score with time recovering
so it also notify if there are very regular problems even if the script succeed in working around them

but I have other things to do currently

[stoic mist]

thx. will try that out

[rancid wave]

Hello.
i am looking for a satisfactory private server host. of course with payment if accepted.
i tried several dedicated server providers and what should i say? they are all shit.
now i tried to host one on my own rig, and it was running fantastic, but icannot let my pc run 24/7.

[desert walrus]

That's why I said can change
No guarantees but depending on the setup it can be quite frequent

[manic kraken]

Hey guys, i'm getting fps drops down to 1-2 fps permanently. Its independent from the graphic settings i testet.... The cpu & gpu should be good enough with an i5-13600kf and rtx 3070ti ...

[spare orbit]

rtx 3070ti
my condolences

[modest sleet]

So question to all the people self hosting, how stable has your experience with the ds been so far? I'm having mixed results with spurts of rubber banding and lag that have confused me.
Setup Vmware 6.7 update 2
Rocky 8.8
Gave it 4 vcpus, 24gb of memory (But I only ever see the app utilizing about ~10gb, saw the same thing on a ubuntu server build i tested) I setup a memory reservation of 16gb to make sure the VM should have all the memory it needs.

[remote wyvern]

We completely abandoned the dedicated server unfortunately. The performance was just too awful. We manually host and pass around the save file now and have a system where whoever's hosting posts the gameID to discord

Our server was very overprovisioned for this use case, way above stated requirements, and we had lots of crashes and bugs. As soon as we moved back to manual hosting of the save file all those issues suddenly stopped

[modest sleet]

Yeah not waht I was hoping to hear, I've seen the containerized version but I don't want to go thru the trouble of spinning up a k3/k8s cluster or podman just to try something that has the same perf issues.

[stoic mist]

it happened to me twice so far, i leave my pc on with the dedicated server on so my friends can play while im at work!
i changed the windows setting to never sleep, there was no outage nor the modem resets. the dedicated server just crashes!
any one has/had an idea what is this?

[modest sleet]

So I have seen it'll restart if it's been on for too long 24 hours I think, have only had 2 out right crashes though, over 3 weeks now of running one

[stoic mist]

so strange!
first, it crashed after 7 hours. second, it crashed after 5.
before that, i played with them 5 hours and then left the server running for more than 6 hours 'till i closed it!
no idea whats up now.

[modest sleet]

also I'm running these on VMs under linux so take that for what you will

[valid mauve]

Is it possible to run to instances of Satifactory Server on a machine? I have a separate machine that runs a server for a friend and I. I want to run a second world for some different world. Is that possible on one machine?

[barren mortar]

From what I understand, yes; but you will have to adjust the ports on the second server

[valid mauve]

Coolios, I have tried running a second instance of the server software and it just closes when it boots. I have not been able to get it to stay running.

[deep turret]

is your host Linux ?

[deep turret]

all the ports need to be different
and it need enough ram so the 2 server have room to be fully loaded

[modest sleet]

the hypervisor? as stated vmware esxi 6.7 update 2

[deep turret]

So at very least 16GB FREE ram

[deep turret]

oh ok

what cpu ?

it's often dependent on the cpu

[modest sleet]

2x E5-2570v2

[deep turret]

I mean more recent Gen high perf cpu and less problems

[modest sleet]

not the newest but Ivy Bridge xeons are no slugs

[deep turret]

ok so may be that
you run easier and faster into the problems
update 8 or 7 ?
8 is very unstable

[modest sleet]

7, avoided 8 based on all the comments of problems

[deep turret]

ivy bridge still start to get old
especially talking about heavy game work flow which almost entirely relies on cpu single thread processing throughout

[valid mauve]

No it is a windows 10 machine

[modest sleet]

I can try migrating it over to my Epyc server but I'm not seeing it hit the CPU much at all.

[valid mauve]

It has 32 GB of RAM and just runs just runs Satisfactory for my first world.

[deep turret]

check for thread use

it Max out one thread then use at max 3 other threads basically but not very loaded

So if you have 32 thread host it shows at ~5% load

yet that one thread is always bottlenecked

(even on latest high-end CPUs

[deep turret]

that is standby right ?

[modest sleet]

standby?

[deep turret]

the game is not running

[modest sleet]

it is

I leave it up and persistent so stuff is built while I'm not there

[deep turret]

then it's not thread cpu

I mean normally it shows 150% when using 1 thread and a half for instance

[modest sleet]

Don't think I've ever seen performance that bad

just lots of rubber banding

[deep turret]

you would need to check available ram before launching the second instance using task manager (performance tab)

[modest sleet]

general client issue I suspect (lots of crashing and known bugs)

[deep turret]

do you have htop on your vm ?

[modest sleet]

i can install it easily

[deep turret]

2% is literally not possible unless in standby for thread percent

[modest sleet]

anyone run this on actual enterpise equipment?

[deep turret]

maybe you could be lucky and get down to 15% on 7900x3d
but not 2%

your cpu is slower, and yes lot of people here run it on bunch of xeon too

some with 350GB ram and more

[modest sleet]

ahh wehn I rebuilt the vm with Rocky i forgot to turn on the persistent, now i'm seeing 98.7%

[deep turret]

I run it in linux/linux vm on 5900X host
and it runs fine (Update 7)
what annoys me is more about actual gameplay bugs than server crash or issues

(but I stopped playing update 7 for update 8, but update 8 is barely playable and what's broken is what I wanted to play with so ...)

[modest sleet]

the animal/enemies spawning one annoys the hell out of me

[deep turret]

way more consistent

[modest sleet]

sigh and the client is stuck loading -.-

[deep turret]

did you disable animal aggressivity ?

[modest sleet]

and it just crashed

no

[deep turret]

do that
that's the most source of issues

[modest sleet]

bug report seems to imply it doesn't matter, alpha's seem to cause the crash no matter the setting

[deep turret]

that's almost always what crashes the server on update 7 even on 5900x

[deep turret]

anyone must put it to passive
it always be better than the other options

ofcourse it will not prevent crashing but at least it will avoid going into crashing situations all the time

[barren flicker]

Hey guys, I keep getting this crash while playing on a dedicated server

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0xffffffffffffffff

Anyone knows what this means?

[royal venture]

Could be a vidcard driver issue? See: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/63804d4dca608e0803526cc4

[modest sleet]

This seems to ignore how people want to play

end result it seems like the DS is a bad optimized product/solution

[deep turret]

re read the title of this channel please

tldr: this seems like experimental
and not fixed/optimized/polished

[severe idol]

It means that the game tried to read or write to memory that it didn't have access to. Given the address value is -1, then it looks like either bad pointer arithmatic, out of bounds, or both.

[modest sleet]

Was going to say both can be true. A little sad as I enjoy the game but it's buggy as hell

[desert walrus]

That part of the error is useless
Need the whole thing

[cunning oracle]

Host 1 Has my server on it Im leaving server one for #2 I cant Load the save file tho because i cant find it Its not in their or the other sub folder behind it. Now i do have the World.exe from the last server and i made sure to put the Session name as the .sav File

[barren mortar]

Depends how they have it configured, but it should be in a saved/server folder

[cunning oracle]

When first connecting to the server it never made a save /server folder. I can make one and put the .sav file in it and see

[signal maple]

Hello,
I have a Satisfactory server set up on Ubuntu with 16gb ram and unfortunately the server does not run smoothly, although cpu, ram and hard disk are not even close to being utilized. Does anyone know what this can be?

[cunning oracle]

Unable to load .Sav file from load save menu When you Click Load game It will Say In the top left ........... Loading game....... Game Ongoing...... then kick me back to the Load save in the main menu . I do have a video i dont know if i can post it

@barren mortar Ty i eventually found it They hid it

[edgy hornet]

@fallow trout and everyone else with this issue, -multihome=0.0.0.0 fixes this issue if your ports and other requirements are otherwise met, crazy, this should be default but apparently is not

[spare orbit]

well, the default binds to ipv6, what works fine when the whole ipv6 route is properly configured. and its adviced for years to switch everything to v6, but the world is really slow and i guess we will stell have v4 in 50 years, even though its already deprecated for long

so its always the question if you want to make ipv4 a default while it would be better to switch to v6 and support the progress of change

everything new only supporting v6 would help quite a lot i think, as long as we keep having both, we will have these scuffed problems

[edgy hornet]

my isp defaults to ipv6 by now, but what can i do when the server refuses to work on ipv6 :D

it accepts me on 15777, logs that its opening a new route on [::1]:15000, and then does nothing, unsure why ::1 tho, feels invalid

[spare orbit]

we dont even get a home ipv4 anymore, just v6 and a on the fly conversion on isp side to access ipv4 servers

[edgy hornet]

the fun part is that -multihome=:: works fine too

crazy

[deep turret]

I suspect -multihome=:: may work for ipv4 too on dualstack systems

[modest sleet]

So a sledge hammer was the fix, @deep turret thanks for the heads up on the single thread perf.

[deep turret]

what did you do to fix it then ?

[modest sleet]

i thru a sledgehammer at it

3 people logged in

I moved the VM over to one of my Epyc servers, can't remember if it's Milan or Genoa

[deep turret]

👍 your epyc very probably have more single thread processing throughput than your xeon(s)

it is pretty great at this kind of workflow (compared to other especially older cpus) as it have big l3 caches

milan is same gen as 5900X | genoa same as 7000series cpus

so you switched from probably half or third of single cpu performance I have at home, to probably something better than I have

I get now why you said sledghammer

at least ~ x2 single thread performance bump is big

[modest sleet]

I tend to not put game stuff on them but was able to migrate some container workloads over to the xeons, need to look at cycling out the v2 but they are such a good bang for buck, and those epyc are not cheap. Really hoping there's a DS update for multithreaded support, I'm curious how much of this is on the Epic, all of the unity based DS that I have, there's no problem

[fallow trout]

can anyone help me?

[deep turret]

vs at least

[fast whale]

We noticed today that playing on the 5800X3D compared to 7800X3D reduces load on the cpu by almost 50%. So besides general ipc and clockspeed uplift there are some more things at play here that really boost performance

[deep turret]

the ds is currently not optimized unfortunately
and satisfactory have a lot to simulate on the server side compared to other kind of game servers
it is not obvious to heavily multi-thread the processing on UE5

[fast whale]

Do note this was not with a dedicated server, but hosting manually on both pc's

[deep turret]

you check per thread cpu load ?

also 7800x3d having support for AVX512 may play a bit in UE5 which I think have some optimization for it

[fast whale]

I did but I didn't really notice one core beeing loaded more than others. Probably windows scheduler doing funny things it shouldn't do

I'll look into it, I wasn't aware of that

But that could explain part of the massive speed up

[modest sleet]

Update 7 is still UE4 right?

[deep turret]

yep

[deep turret]

oopsie do you play update 7 or 8 ?

I was assuming update 8 again

smh

update 8 is the game engine change, that is also why most crash and bugs improvement made in update 8 can not be applied back to update 7

update 8 will have to be at least as stable as update 7 so people can safely play on it

[modest sleet]

I've seen alot of comments on update 8 being bad on ds, haven't tried it myself but it was enough to keep me from even trying it for right now

[deep turret]

as I said earlier ^

I can tell that yes, even on 5900X it is very prone to crashing

the update 8 dedicated server, is a early made experiment pulled of another experiment (the update 8 game)

it even probably have some reminds from update7 dedicated server which doesnt work well with UE5 (udpate 8)

that at least would explain a lot on the network problems

[fallow trout]

can someone help me?

[brave vine]

I am trying to make a server with SteamCMD and can't figure out the right IP or PORT for it to connect

[runic zinc]

Just hear to say now that the team is hopefully back from vacation, hope they had fun.
Please put some work in on dedicated servers
Ps all the people who love playing with other people

[deep turret]

So you already installed it successfully with steamcmd ?

[spare orbit]

you read the wiki entry about setting up servers?
it tells the needed ports and all settings around it

[deep turret]

you must launch the server with the right command arguments
to get the server ip you can :

• if the server is on Linux you can in a terminal : ip ad
• if the server is on windows (in cmd or powershell) : ipconfig
  on the server machine

[keen jungle]

Hi, I set up a dedicated server using docker on a google cloud vm instance.
everything was working fine played on it for 2 days with 4 friends no lagg all good.
When we got more machines the instance capped out and crashed.
After rebooting the instance and running the docker image again with the same params
we can no longer connect, server seems to be offline despite all ports being open/listening (checked with nmap and remade firewall rules).
The vm instance external IP did change i guess its a floating IP and i dont have a dns setup?
But it should still work with the new IP and ports specified ?

Anyone got any idea how to debugg this

[barren mortar]

What are the specs of the VM? You might have too much going on for the specs to be able to handle

[keen jungle]

was on 12gb cpu 100gb disc

2 cores

set it to 16 now

but the problem mainly lies in the connection/service I think

running this command
sudo docker run -d --name=satisfactory -h satisfactory-server -e MAXPLAYERS=4 -e PGID=1000 -e PUID=1000 -e STEAMBETA=false -v /config -m 16G --memory-reservation=12G -p 7777:7777/udp -p 15000:15000/udp -p 15777:15777/udp wolveix/satisfactory-server:latest

serves me these services running and port configs:

[frosty gale]

Hey guys, did anybody have a problem in 7 version of the game on dedicated server when you are trying to clean the blueprint, and then the server crashes ?

[deep turret]

you have a single instance running ?

12GB is just enough for 1 server instance

[deep turret]

remove everything from the blue print and from the blue print inventory
then clean it again
I don't remember exactly what was wrong with the blue print but it's a known bug

[keen jungle]

Yes single server but i can't connect now after rebooting

[fallow trout]

when i try to join my server i get this.

[spare orbit]

deactivate ipv6 on the server

[worthy osprey]

Do they have a standalone server software or do you have to do it thru Steam

[desert walrus]

Through steam, steamed, or through epic

[deep turret]

wdym exactly ?
dedicated satisfactory server install from steam steamcmd or epic games but runs standalone

[sweet galleon]

is there a command to kick players of your dedicated server? 🙂

my goal is to not wait for session to time out after crash

[deep turret]

there may be a setting but there is not a command yet

there is nothing on update 7 servers I think

you can kill your other you if you don't want to wait

[sweet galleon]

yeah but spawn point is so far away 😛

would that be a setting to check for timeouts more often or wdym?

[deep turret]

in update 8 there is very basic session management if I remember right

[humble reef]

Having trouble getting my buddy to connect to my server. I got it set up. I have the port forwarding set up correctly (at least to my knowledge). But when checking on portchecktool.com it says the ports aren't on. When using the get command on powershell it shows the proper outputs

Any ideas on what isn't working properly?

[spare orbit]

disable ipv6

[humble reef]

Is that in adapter settings?

Because I've done that

[spare orbit]

the os still has ipv6, the engine tries to bind to that

[humble reef]

What do I need to do to change that then

[spare orbit]

i know for linux servers, not for turboscuffed

[desert walrus]

You can also just use -multihome <desired ipv4> on launch.

[spare orbit]

works around 25 % of times tbh. often still has problems

probably a bug atm

[desert walrus]

Yup
Or people putting it after -unattended lol

[humble reef]

is the desired IP local or external

[spare orbit]

thats still interesting. they need to read the wiki to know about that parameter, still they dont know to put it last

[spare orbit]

the ip of the server?

[humble reef]

yes

I have a static IP for internal, but external I'm using a no-ip solution with a host

[spare orbit]

a what

you cant do anything external without an ip. its the only addressing in the internet

[deep turret]

static local ip of the server
it's the ip the server will bind to
when forwarding your router is translating to the local ip for the server

[deep turret]

you mean you have a dns address
(which can [wrongly] be called hostname , simply saying host does not really apply for that, and is extra ambiguous here)

'host' apply for an object (machine, system, solution) but not for a reference (name, address, ID, ..)

or maybe in some context ID could be compatible with calling it 'host', but only if it is unique ID in that same context
and it implies we are talking of the object with that ID

then for reference you can call that : hostname (for name), host-address (for address), host-ID, etc..
and dns address is not itself a hostname
so we would just say : host dns address
for correctness

a dns address is the thing you put in urls to target servers
'youtube.com' is a dns address, 'youtu.be' too
anything of 'sub.domain.tld' form used to target system through internet is a dns address
(I say that so there is no ambiguity left)

and what Nachtnebel was talking about is :
if you can use a dns address it's because you have an ip address
and when talking about actual networking,binding,forwarding
we are always talking about ip addresses

dns address only apply on top of the ip networking that must be working already

[spare orbit]

yeah, you cant address anything without an ip.
the domain is just vanity and for easier memorizing, the pc asks the dns to translate the domain to ip and uses that to address something. with the domain itself, it wouldnt get anywhere

like a book for phonenumbers.
its nice that you know the name you want to call, but useless without the number

[deep turret]

dns address is also for name stability and potentially multiple ressources' adresses/ids gathering too though

[amber hollow]

Is it possible to use the advanced game settings (ie setting the mobs to be passive) when using a dedicated server? Changing them doesn't have any effect

[deep turret]

yes, and yes it have effects but every client must switch it to passive

[amber hollow]

ah thanks

[deep turret]

make sure you are using the in-game setting once on the server
if you use the the other settings you are not switching it for the server game

[hoary hedge]

Trying to connect my laptop to my server(away from home) but whenever i type in the ip address into the address bar in the add server button, it just immediately pops out an invalid message. Any ideas? Im doing this off a mobile hotspot which might be whats wrong tbh

[barren mortar]

You're using an external IP, correct? Not the 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x?

[hoary hedge]

Yes i am, if it helps its a shockbyte server

[barren mortar]

Don't know what that is. Are the ports forwarded correectly? Have you ever been able to connect outside your network?

[hoary hedge]

I havent tried outside of my home network, i believe theyre forwarded correctly?

[barren mortar]

That's my first thought is that something with the ip or ports isn't correct

[hoary hedge]

Would the ports be my pc side or server control side

[barren mortar]

Server, and they need to be forwarded to the server from the router

[keen skiff]

Not quite right, the actual address used to do the delivery of the packet is the ethernet address. There are quite a few things that happen without using an IP. DHCP for example.

[fast whale]

Update 8

[amber hollow]

I've been having a weird issue where the save corrupts and the server doesn't start after the first time I shut it down via the console ("exit" command). When trying to start it up again, it just crashes instantly. I'm using EA Update 7

happened multiple times after resetting the save as well

Just tried and I am able to load the save in singleplayer

Alright, I was able to pinpoint the issue to be that the port is already in use and it actually is - the instance I started (and stopped) previously is stuck at the following log lines:

[2023.08.12-15.22.08:424][731]LogStreaming: Display: Suspending async loading (1)
[2023.08.12-15.22.08:436][731]LogStreaming: Display: Resuming async loading (0)
[2023.08.12-15.22.08:437][731]LogExit: Preparing to exit.

and didn't fully close yet.
Do I CTRL+C here or are there any proper steps to fully gracefully exit?

[humble reef]

Turns out the dynamic DNS didn't work but the IP works so. I assigned it a static IP in my router and it's Gucci

[desert walrus]

Use the quit, stop, or exit commands

[spark fox]

Hello. Does satisfactory no longer use 10 GB of RAM on a fresh (dedicated) server, or what's happening?

[deep turret]

it is starting low, then use more as the save increase in size / you build more things
it usually goes to 8GB now when the save is quiet big

[spark fox]

I figured it would. I just remember the last time I hosted a Satisfactory server, it used 10 GB instantly.
That was around a year ago

[deep turret]

it still behave like that on update 7

update 8 is dynamic

[spark fox]

I'm on experimental

[deep turret]

update 8 is only 2 months old

[spark fox]

That's really nice. I just wanted to make sure it was intentional

[deep turret]

intentional is a big word

but at least it is not a bug

[spark fox]

I mean, it's nice it doens't use 10 GB of RAM on a fresh server, 3 is much better.
Obviously it'll expand over time, just like any other survival servers will

[deep turret]

I would say it practically starts at 4-5

[spark fox]

Currenltly sitting at 2.92 GB on a server I just created

[deep turret]

but that's better than 10GB especially for people that want to test it before commiting to it on a better machine/ rented setup

[spark fox]

Didn't explore anything

[lusty grotto]

is dedicated servers only on experimental satusfactory

[deep turret]

that's what I was saying by practically, once you have a hub and some belts etc... you are closer to 5

[spark fox]

No, it's also on the regular one

[lusty grotto]

aaa oke

[deep turret]

dedicated server exist both for update 7 and update 8
but even update 7's server is experimental

[lusty grotto]

so this server is only experimental

oki

[spark fox]

Could be, yeah. I just gave it 10 GB since that's what it used last time 😛

[lusty grotto]

any server i can join im bored

[deep turret]

there is this #looking-for-group-old , look for "24/7 dedicated server hosted" proposals

[lusty grotto]

oki

[spark fox]

Just ran like 5 steps, and it used 100 MB of RAM more 😂
Guess 10 GB will be a good for a while

@deep turret thank you for answering my few questions 🙂

[deep turret]

your welcome

[lusty grotto]

shark

i found 1 i want to join

how do i join it then

or say i wanna join

[deep turret]

I dont really know tbh, I never tried to join one

I guess you can click the button below it, and it will give you a message with other people in the group

[lusty grotto]

oke

[spark fox]

Join with the Session ID 🙂

[lusty grotto]

but it says no session id

can i join it if im on epic

nano u wanna play together?

i want to play multiplayer

[spark fox]

Yes, the server is not tied to one or the other launcher.
And no, I'm just setting up some servers to play with friends, not playing right now

[deep turret]

not on dedicated servers

[lusty grotto]

dm me if u wanna join my satisfactory server

[deep turret]

you already set up one ?

[lusty grotto]

im going to test out how to make one

i found sum1 to play with

and i made dc server for it

[lusty grotto]

anyone wanna play

[chrome pumice]

That's just a standard timeout error. Can you gave anymore info. Like is this a fresh server? Does this only happen a certain times?

[spare orbit]

not standard eror.
disable ipv6

[errant acorn]

Not sure disabling IPv6 will help if the server is listening on IPv4 anyway

If that helps then there is something fundamentally wrong with the architecture of the server software

[hollow meadow]

anyone able to help me with dedicated server on another pc? followed all the steps but my mates cant join

opens the server and i can join locally. opened almost every port i can think of and they still cant join

[desert walrus]

Is it ea or exp?
Have you checked the faq/troubleshooting section for dedis on the wiki?

[spare orbit]

it isnt, that is the thing.
the log shows its on ipv6

[errant acorn]

Weird. Should not happen tbh

[spare orbit]

ipv6 is the default for u8, as long as the os thinks it has ipv6

[errant acorn]

That's kind of a weird default

My ISP doesn't even give me an IPv6 address

Why isn't the default listening on both IPv4 and IPv6?

[spare orbit]

here you dont get a v4 anymore, there just arent enough

[errant acorn]

I pay a monthly low fee for a public IPv4 address so that I can port forward

Otherwise I'd share one and a firewall would block any incoming connection

But for some reason pretty much no ISP here gives an IPv6 address

[spare orbit]

i dont do that with home connection. i hve a server and these still can get ipv4.
but you need to explain and have a good reason to get it. just getting one unnecessary is a tos break nd can get very expensive

[errant acorn]

I can just not use the IPv4 address for commercial use

Like hosting my own website for my company (if I had one)

But for that I'd want to rent a VPS anyway :D

I just use it to host game servers and potentially to VPN to my home network if the WiFi someplace is too restrictive

[spare orbit]

while thats one of the reasons for what you are allowed to get one here

[errant acorn]

Too expensive to host a website at home anyway

[spare orbit]

well as said, getting v4 as home address is close to impossible

[errant acorn]

Dang. Where do you live?

[spare orbit]

europe

[errant acorn]

Uh okay. I live in Denmark and here it's not a big deal to get an address

[spare orbit]

v4 is legacy and for business and servers only

[errant acorn]

Haha tell that to the ISPs here

v4 is definitely not legacy here

[spare orbit]

it has that status world wide.
becauee there are way less addresses than pcs

so you cant give it to everyone

[errant acorn]

Sure but I just cannot connect to IPv6 stuff

You might as well call IPv6 legacy here

[desert walrus]

Thankfully there are workarounds

Subnetting is helpful

[deep turret]

ipv6 is not legacy and if your isp is not giving you any form of ipv6 it technically means it cuts you from part of the global network
on the other hand ipv4 is highly isp dependent
as older ISPs do have ipv4 blocks to address
but newer one are not allowed to
(only small "ISP level" blocks are accessible for backward compatibility)

[errant acorn]

Obviously IPv6 is not legacy. But ISPs here are treating it like no one needs it

I know about the IPv4 address "shortage". And I've been doing stuff with sockets for many years as a developer

[spare orbit]

you never strted the server

thats the update command for steamcmd

[nimble hull]

anyone wanna play

[hollow meadow]

Yea checked faq and have tried both

[limber swallow]

i have weird issues with the server, the experimental version starts without issues (but is a major bugfest) and the normal one quits starting, besides adding no steam, are there things that i can try. that i might have missed

[deft spindle]

Can someone help me having issues trying to start my server and it won't even show anything when I double click

[deep turret]

do you have enough free ram when you launch it ? you need at very least 10GB

[spare orbit]

10 is way overkill

[desert walrus]

Not for u7

[spare orbit]

it never needed so much for us

[nova tendon]

Has anyone tried to run a Satisfactory Server on Oracle cloud ? Especially with the Arch64 ?

[hazy terrace]

Arch64 is ARM, which is not supported by Satisfactory. So no, arch64 won't work.

[nova tendon]

😦 sadge than i give up. I tried it with Valheim and Box64, it works perfectly fine, but ig with Satisfactory it wont cut the grass

[hazy terrace]

i mean, it might start with box64. But the emulation overhead will probably kill the tps

[nova tendon]

probl but still would like to try it

at least would be great if someone could check my logs and tell me whats happening

[loud minnow]

@nova tendon There is a search bar on the top right-hand side, and you can type 'box64.' You can see that many people have tried it, and it doesn't work. Why make things harder for yourself?

[nova tendon]

5 Day in 😉 but yeah i have gave up on this idea. Sorry for bothering everyone ^^

[hollow cedar]

hmmm steam api failed to initalise

is that an issue?

[desert walrus]

Nope

[hollow cedar]

hmm friend cant join for some reason. gets a long error

[desert walrus]

Are you on u8?

[hollow cedar]

I assumed it was because they were on steam

yeah

[desert walrus]

Currently the server binds to ipv6

Use -multihome <desired ip> to bind to ipv4

[hollow cedar]

that could be why

[limber swallow]

Sorry for the late reply, but yes, machine has 16gb in total, xeon 1230v3 as a cpu. Uses almost no ram. (Running windows server 2022 as an os)

[barren raven]

Am I missing something? (not sure if this is related) but I just shut down my experimental server on the same machine, and wanted to startup the early acces.....
However, it doesn't boot and gives logs like:

Memory not used etc.

Its a linux machine, so I find it weird I see Windows like paths in the logs

[civic lantern]

the windows paths are referring to the path at the time the software was compiled

so, the assertion file and line refers to the source code

the particular error you have appears to be the server trying to load your map back, but it's been converted to exp. gotta find the map file and move it aside

@barren raven ^

[barren raven]

Thank you @civic lantern . Is there a way to figure out which save its looking for? I guess it's trying to load the map that I had running on experimental before.

Renaming the ServerSettings file would recreate it?

[civic lantern]

it is trying to load the original map, yes. I need to reacquaint myself with where files are kept, but you can probably find it faster with find ~ | grep sav$

then relocate that file out of the savefile dir

[barren raven]

That seemed to be the trick 😄 Wow such an easy but difficult solution haha. Thank you @civic lantern

[civic lantern]

:) welcome. server should go through the new game setup process. it's probably safe to place the save file back in place, you can command the dedi server to load it if you switch back to exp

in the server manager

[deep turret]

"almost no ram" is bit too vague though, its best to check it

[limber swallow]

2.5gb used out of 16

[limber swallow]

Managed to fix it thanks to @civic lantern, map + settings was from experimental, and the stable build didnt want to load those

[edgy hornet]

i had this issue on a clean install, firewall was ok, everything was ok and open, things were running, but timeout on connect. I manually set up the supposedly default all-interface binding and it solved the issue, both -MultiHome=:: and -MultiHome=0.0.0.0 solved it for me.

[jovial veldt]

I'm trying to change the autosave interval and when I go to the console and try to use FG.AutosaveInterval I get a response of Command not recognized: FG.AutosaveInterval

[polar condor]

hey could i ask when we would be reciveing an update to dedicated server stability just asking as i crash alot

[spare orbit]

nobody knows

[chrome pumice]

Generally after the update goes from experimental/beta to current release for the base game you will see server updates.

[spare orbit]

server updates alongside the normal versions. so also any experimental update can also update the server

but its bot priority, so when the problem is server specific and nothing thats fixed at the normal game, it wont happen that fast

[hollow cedar]

how do you stop the server from auto-restarting?

[spare orbit]

idk, ours never did in weeks

many people talk about auto restart and i have no idea, how to even enable it

[desert walrus]

I wouldn't reccomend it currently
That 24h auto-restart is pretty important for stability

[spare orbit]

huh, but that doesnt exist for us

it never restarted and runs for 3 weeks now

[desert walrus]

Strange

Servers are weird
I loved the experience in u6, but as a low dev priority feature they are... lacking sometimes

[spare orbit]

i mean, im not staring 24/7 st it. but the server start has a quite unique look in graphs and also we often played for over 10 hours straight on different times and never saw it, so its unlikely that we always miss it i think

most people make it a service, maybe it has to do with that.
we just run the sh script with screen

[marsh fable]

can anyone help me im trying to get on dedicated server thru g portal and it says name pending and i dont get any prompt poping up when i go to server manager

[grizzled fox]

hey theres this dude on my dedicated server that just did a stupid amount of shit in like 8 hours without automating any of the shit he needed like steel. me and my friend think he’s cheating but i wanna try and find proof. anyway to do that through the logs

like if he used console commands for it

[spare orbit]

there are no commands for this

[forest stratus]

I can't stay connected to my server for more than 2 seconds, I CTD as soon as I load in. No mods. Are there any recommending settings or whatnot? I have gfx set to Medium across the board.

[modern night]

Have you made sure to open the ports?

[forest stratus]

I'm not hosting the server, and previously i had stayed connected to it for several hours while playing.

So what's happening now is I have to make like 2-5 connection attempts, eventually one will work, then i can play for a while

but it's not just failed connection when it fails - the client CTDs

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tame belfry]

the server was fine!

any ideas ?

[spare orbit]

why would you do a service for the updater?

[proven carbon]

I've been running a dedicated server on my Steam Deck on experimental to connect to on my PC to both split the CPU load and keep the factory running while I'm doing other things (like sleeping) last night I tried to get a friend of mine to join the server. They were able to successfully connect to the server on the dedicated servers menu and could see game stage, session time and all that. But when trying to join the game, the screen just goes to "you are not connected to this server" and a few seconds later a loading screen shows up and she gets booted to the main menu with this error:

Is this simply just a ping diff? (I live in Aus and she's in the UK, her main menu said around 340-360ms) or is there a setting I need to change?

I do have ports 15777 and 15000 open and routed to 192.168.0.103 (my steam deck's local address)

And the server's terminal did mention her IP address successfully connecting

The strange thing is I'm able to join her on a listen session when she just hosts a regular game

This here is the .sh I boot the server from

[short swallow]

hmm, I swapped from EA to experimental, both server and client, now I'm getting this error

was playing on the server yesterday evening with a friend, before we updated

any advise on how to start debugging/fixing?

[proven carbon]

Take a look at the .sh I was talking about. I had the same issue and that fixed it for at least me over a local network

[spare orbit]

in 99 % of cases people have wrong configured ipv6 on the server and just need to disable it

[proven carbon]

Probably wouldn't hurt trying the thing that worked for me first, though of course using your IP, not mine

yeah, see the server console and check what ip it tries. default fur u8 is ipv6

and most people ont configure that

so you see the server, it tries to route you through ipv6 and fails, so you timeout

the service seems to be bound to v4

[spare orbit]

the service doesnt matter, what does the actual server

[short swallow]

ooh

[proven carbon]

So would this be the same issue my friend is having for my server?

[short swallow]

how do I open the console at this point?

[spare orbit]

its always this issue, because ipv6 is default

[short swallow]

do I have to manually launch it, but without --unattended?

[spare orbit]

so all server where you didnt globally disable ipv6 will timeout

[short swallow]

ah

makes sense, my internet provider doesn't even do v6 at all

digital stone age

[proven carbon]

So what would one do to disable that?

yup. v6.

[spare orbit]

yeah, it tries v6 if the system thinks it has it

[proven carbon]

Do I just chuck this into the .sh I've been using?

[spare orbit]

the commands disable it only until reboot, if you want forever, you need to harcode it in the settings file

no

thats globally for the os

[short swallow]

Created socket for bind address: 0.0.0.0:15000

works now

will disable v6 for the container altogether

thank you very much for the help

[proven carbon]

Could I make an .sh that I can run to set those settings and then start my server?

[spare orbit]

uh, i guess

idk, we dont use v6, so just wrote it in the system settings

[proven carbon]

How do I do that then?

can I do that on the SteamOS build of Linux?

[short swallow]

That depends on your system and networking

Steamos is basically arch, shouldn't be an issue

[spare orbit]

usually its at
/etc/sysctl.conf

[proven carbon]

I don't think I've used an IPv6 in my life so

[spare orbit]

put these lines in the config file and reload it
sudo sysctl -p

[short swallow]

sysctl conf way looks the best

[proven carbon]

I funnily enough gotta reboot my SD first, it doesn't like being left on for 100 consecutive hours it seems

[short swallow]

Works-ish

Thank you very much for your help @spare orbit

I have some graphics glitches and my character inventory is gone, so will have to roll back, but at least it works

Should I dump my inventory in a box before doing this then?

[spare orbit]

i have no idea about steamos, does it even use sysctl?

[proven carbon]

I haven't the foggiest. I am not a linux user

[spare orbit]

oh wait, why are you even running the server on a steamos

[proven carbon]

I have a Steam Deck. I use it for two things
As a thing to use for games when I travel
As a dedicated server host for games where either
Being a host and client at once is too taxing on my PC
Games where I'd like to be able to leave the server running while I'm not there

Satisfactory is a bitaboth

SteamOS is just a branch of Arch iirc

[spare orbit]

i see

but yeah, you need to find out where the steamos has the sysctl.conf

[proven carbon]

I'm talking with a mate of mine who's a huge linux nerd, he's helping me out with a lot more that'll make my workflow a lot easier

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though, really helps with getting started <3

Your steamcmd update command failed.

[sinful nymph]

I have tried everything, but for whatever reason I get a ping number on the server but it is perpetually NotAuthenticated and "Appears to be offline"

I opened ufw ports of all of the required ones

I have external DNS that points to a webserver on my PC and it is accessible fine (mostly unrelated, but means I have the right IP)

The server logs "Creating route for ip" when I click connect, but it seems to never actually connect

I'm incredibly lost as to what to do here

It was giving me steam warnings about client and server being on the same machine, even though I am running it on an external VPS, so I tried adding the -NOSTEAM option to the binary running section of the .sh

still nothing

I guess I can disable v6 on my machine but that would fuck with the websites on the server taking ipv6 conns

going to at least try that though

Also after ctrl c'ing it refuses to close, says "trying to close" but never does

unrelated issue I guess?

[sinful nymph]

That worked, but that fucking sucks that it's the only solution

Alright so it actually just flat out did not work

It's now giving me a connection timeout

literally giving me nothing now

just timeouts

incredible

it says ping is 68 which is extremely odd given that I can't connect

HOW

I went in the Engine ini and changed it to 90

and yet

am I doing something wrong?

[chrome pumice]

What is your startup command?

[spare orbit]

you sure with having the updater as srvice instead of the actual game?

[spare orbit]

what does the routing in your console output says?
