Put my save game back from my PC to the Server and just loaded the save on the server...

#

and butter knives and whatever else I could find lying around at the time... bent many pins lol

you mean you are coming from these days were you could HEAR when there was connections issues ?

ATZ, ATH

compact rapids
#

Yup yup

#

Ooooo...... I hit the jackpot.............. CrAsH!....

#

I guess I'm waiting for patch #2 now

pale jackal
#

yeah you probably picked up patch 1 again

#

reckon we wait

#

it's cool, this is fine, no problem, I'm not freaking out, you're freaking out

compact rapids
#

I only have 4 signs in my entire save file LOL

pale jackal
#

4 too many

compact rapids
#

I was hoping it would save me but I guess not

still ibex
#

1 is too many, you could delete them with a save editor and log on tho

deep turret
#

its weird mine didnt crash, maybe somehow I removed signs at some points already

compact rapids
#

At least for me I can go in on my local save and remove the 4 signs but for someone with 1000 signs or more they are SOL

pale jackal
#

but the signs make it pretty

still ibex
#

it's those of us with one label per each container we have filling up all our resource boxes plus use signs for lighting that are fucked

compact rapids
#

Just gonna try doing that and see if it let's me in

pale jackal
#

I use them for accent lighting, so you can imagine

deep turret
#

it will be faster, but keep your sign save backed up first

#

because it will soon be fixed

pale jackal
#

Soon (tm)

deep turret
#

I mean like maybe this evening

pale jackal
#

noooooooo I'm off today

#

I need spaghetti

compact rapids
#

Last time I used the save game editor to do something like that it corrupted my save somehow and I ended up with hit performance issues. I've been pretty careful not to use it so far on this save game.

#

It's only 4 signs so I'm gonna run around instead.

vast marten
#

-⁠multihome=192.168.0.2 as start parameter did the trick

still ibex
#

for the signs?

compact rapids
#

No that's for something else...

still ibex
#

definitely doesn't work for me because I've always set that to force the game server on a vlan instead of the open internet

compact rapids
#

There is an IPV6 stack loading in one of the versions

#

Ok trying again.

#

Signs are gone

pale jackal
#

yeah I have a v4 ip 'multihomed' for my service, still crashes, damn signs

compact rapids
#

Yup. Definitely a sign problem... Turffed the 4 signs and presto bango, I'm in

pale jackal
#

F.

compact rapids
#

What a strange bug.

pale jackal
#

no way I'm gonna delete all those signs... you're a lucky one

compact rapids
#

Yeah well and makes it easy to prove out the theory with only 4 signs lol

Patch is readys

  • Fixed crash when joining a Dedicated Server related to signs
deep turret
#

that was like 1mins ago

vast marten
#

while loading the game crashes now and times out... the save is a pretty early one, before signs I think...

deep turret
#

they started writing their message earlier lmao

echo lintel
#

@compact rapids , do you have to set tickrate of the client to 60 (server is also 60) as well. And if so, what config file and what parameters?

compact rapids
#

Bwhahahaha couldn't have meentioned that 5 minutes sooner? I just remove all 4 of my signs!! LOL

still ibex
#

just reload an old save?!

pale jackal
#

if the fix just dropped from coffeestain like a minute ago, it'll take 30-60 mins to make it through the steam CDN

still ibex
#

just exit and restart steam

pale jackal
#

gotta tell you, super impressed with this game's devs. snutt was in here yesterday, today they fixing stuff like super quick

#

great work folks, you rock

light siren
#

It's ready in Epic Games Launcher (Client) and Steam (Server)

still ibex
#

you'll have to update both sides either way

compact rapids
echo lintel
#

I only found this

#

For the server

compact rapids
still ibex
#

I don't think clients tick

compact rapids
#

No the servers do but the client side setting is how often it sends its updates... ie. you need a client update before the server tick timeout.

#

Atleast that was my understanding.

still ibex
#

better set client side to like 5 then because sometimes that server side is practicing for the limbo olympics because that shit be gettin loooow

compact rapids
#

Hahaha

deep turret
#

the servers advertise the client for what is need

compact rapids
spare orbit
#

server and client arent connected here. only one side does the calcs

deep turret
#

otherwise it couldnt sync, the client need to know how often server updates

compact rapids
#

I was sure I saw a value in one of the multi player edit files though too...

pale jackal
#

I assume satisfactory is server authoritative?

compact rapids
still ibex
#

the engine.ini value is probably for local play how fast to tick if unsynced

echo lintel
compact rapids
#

I forgot who I was working with when I had my issues around tick.

spare orbit
#

never trust random steam guides

pale jackal
#

if it's on the internet, it's true

spare orbit
#

and no, the client setting is for when the client hosts

still ibex
#

neat, now all my signs are fucked

deep turret
#

the engine.ini in "client" side is applying to local game mostly, here you set it on the server

compact rapids
#

Yeah that's the post they sent me too as part of our troubleshooting...nice! I am slowly remembering this chat now

still ibex
compact rapids
#

Oooo pretty

#

LOL

pale jackal
#

admit that you're so sweaty you just have a color coding system because images take too long

still ibex
#

well if I go up to edit them they're all right still so it's just graphical

compact rapids
#

ROFL

pale jackal
#

he assigns a specific hex value to each object in game

deep turret
#

it looks like big RJ45 ports

pale jackal
#

and then makes that the sign color

deep turret
#

it looks like it control wall

compact rapids
#

I think I see a few SFP's as well

pale jackal
#

'this shade of yellow is pipes'

compact rapids
#

ROFL

still ibex
#

it's just resource containers

compact rapids
#

Server is updated. Client is running now.

still ibex
compact rapids
#

Ahhh I like how you got the one item to display. Nice touch

pale jackal
#

compact rapids
#

Is that your internet speed? lol

#

Oh download progress

deep turret
#

nope my internet is 2000/600

pale jackal
#

that's the year I plan to finish my HMF expansion

compact rapids
#

I'm 1.5 /1

pale jackal
#

IT WORKS

#

and steamcmd is getting the right patch version now too, so you can update with that if you're the sort

compact rapids
#

That you CoffeeStain It helps a lot!

pale jackal
#

also, my signs are F'd

compact rapids
#

How so?

still ibex
#

medical inhalers on conveyors are the worst

compact rapids
pale jackal
compact rapids
#

Ooo you are colour coded as well lol

pale jackal
#

mood lighting is the right shade though, so that's nice

#

just the images and text got wonked

deep turret
#

I think they just pushed build so you can load the save

#

now they will probably change priority for text

pale jackal
#

the right call imo

compact rapids
#

Hopefully it's just a glitch then and not messed up the save file.

still ibex
#

it's visual, I edited a couple and they're showing the right icons in edit mode

compact rapids
#

Phew

pale jackal
#

yeah probably just fix enough to get us all in game

#

praise be

compact rapids
#

I'm ok with that.

#

Still helps alot

still ibex
#

does help to have the visible item conveyors out the front of resource stashes lol

New patch on steam, no info showing yet.
8GB for client
2GB for server

pale jackal
deep turret
#

being able to play the game is huge

still ibex
#

well it's also nice if you just want one or two of a thing, can just grab them off the front

deep turret
#

imagine wanting like .. 2 screws

still ibex
#

imagine making screws

compact rapids
#

Welp......no go for me but I'm gonna do a repair on my game files...

deep turret
#

I think screws are the smallest practical value per unit in the game

compact rapids
pale jackal
#

uh oh

still ibex
#

I have 80 containers of parts and exacltly 0 are screws lol

mint junco
#

I'm in but they've done something with the signs.
At least we can get back in.
Nice turnaround.
Thank you @empty lichen

Ok reboot solved the write error.

#

Testing

#

So far so good

still ibex
#

oh does anyone else find hypertubes severely buggy or is it just my save

compact rapids
#

replacing the signs

compact rapids
#

Hmmm

#

I don't think the full sign issue is resolved.

#

Putting my 4 signs back and after logging out and back in again I'm back to not being able to connect. Just verifying the versions I have on both ssides...

#

Can one of you other guys try adding one new sign somewhere / and or deleting one of your existing and replacing it to see if that borks you?

#

Oh ok it's likely just me... I think the save when I exited just took a really long time.

#

Restarted the game and now I'm in with the same graphical bug for the signs just showing a solid color but not the items

still ibex
#

that's why I turn that feature off it's pretty useless lol

compact rapids
#

I'm rarely jumping out and back in again so until now that hadn't hit me LOL

there any update on the linux server dlss issue

Hey guys, when copying a save file from one server to another, do I need to copy any files other then the contents of the server folder at /home/user/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/ ? I know I need to rename the session to be the same, but the new server just doesn't seem to be able to find the save files 😦

deep turret
#

for instance my satisfactory user home is /srv/Satisfactory so it is in /srv/Satisfactory/.config

crimson ember
#

you can also use the upload function in the client now

#

you dont NEED to transfer manually unless you want to

lyric marten
#

I believe it's in the right .config folder, unless the server is running as a different user then I think it is.

That being said I'll try uploading it through the client now, thanks for that tip Zaliryth

crimson ember
#

NP

lyric marten
#

That worked, I just copied the save to my local game and then uploaded it! Thanks again 🙂

#

And thank you @golden roost and the devs for not only fixing these issues on an experimental branch so fast, but also for the updates in the channel!

fast ocean
#

anyone seen this happen

#

a bunch of the signs have defaulted to some random value

#

they are glossy with an ingot image, you open them to configure and they reset to default

#

same thing happened all over the place

#

pretty much everything that we labled is messed up

Not sure if lag is an issue in dedicated servers in experiental. I am assuming this is a dodgey shockbyte server but just wanting to check before I submit a ticket.

#

Before this update, i had some issues with cables that run energy (not cables disconnected from energy).
They were laggy to place, after 100h of a save game. Anyone feeling the same?
Is there a way to improve that? Like better tickrate? My server hardly uses 10% of cpu I designated for it

#

Also 16gb of ram

somebody got an experimental serv i could join?

mint junco
# frosty gale somebody got an experimental serv i could join?

For the purpose of?
If you want to have a mooch on my server you're more than welcome; satisfactory.valebridge.net
If you want to build, I'm very particular about how I build.
That said I would very much like to collaborate with someone I can learn from.

If you can build to my standard (or better) you're more than welcome.
I've developed my techniques and standards over 4500+ hours of build time.

We would need a discussion on design philosophy.
Otherwise, I'm happy to teach you my design philosophy, you can short cut the learning curve significantly.

I've got phase 4 complete (3700 hours ago), every item in the game automated to a significant degree, a modular factory standard developed over 1000s of hours and much trial and error.
Blueprints are available.
All items can be delivered by train and/or drone.

I have a list of build activities to complete as long as your arm.
The build is at the stage where existing factories need to be superseded and rebuilt elsewhere to current standards.
(You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear)

There is build in more or less the entire map with the exceptions being Northern Forest and Spire coast.

solar maple
#

Anyone else have this issue on U7, an area of the map has buildings missing and if a player logs out in that area it won’t let them log back in but just shows the loading screen

#

This is what happened with parts missing but they are there if you run towards them, logging out in this area makes you unable to rejoin

image.png
mint junco
#

That looks like object load in.
In high build density areas the build has to stream in.
Is your client and server set to Ultra in the network settings?
There are also game.ini and engine.ini edits for network bandwidth, to be deployed to both the client and the server.
Is the server under stress? e.g. cpu and ram.
The other thing it could be is draw distance but that's more a feature of U8.

mint junco
#

There's an example of object load in, centre distance.

To be honest I have no idea why this is a feature on dedicated server.
If the client in single player can show all build regardless of distance why can't the same be true on dedicated server?
Yes I get it, performance, but visually it's not good.
I'd much rather the client background streamed the entire build in the visible area.
Once the entire build is cached locally only deltas need to be exchanged with the server.

Been patched

#

If you mean the crashes

eager bear
#

no.. I use square signs do display items in containers.. and all the square signs of any size only disply a big square of color instead of the icon of the part itself

#

I did a little test and none of the signs are displaying properly
is this just me?

#

I haven't actually been on for a week or so, so I couldn't tell ya

#

when I fist place them teh iron ingot and "shenannigans" are displaying fine.. but as soon as i open the gui of the sign and close it (without change).. it displays either black or big square of color

Hey everyone, I know this is somewhat early to ask how stable is dedicated server on update 8, by that I mean in terms of are there frequent crashes? There was a particular crash in the past (been around for multiple updates) that made running dedicated almost impossible without me around to manually restart the server on a daily basis, and at times multiple times per day (crash when dismantling buildables)

Crash

fading quarry
#

Thats great to hear, obviously not fun when client crashes, but server crashes in particular are extremely annoying, even with 10 minute save interval it can be really exhausting since a ton of stuff can be done in just a couple of minutes.

mint junco
#

Autosave doesn't work

fading quarry
#

One has to save manually in server console? (game client server console that is)

mint junco
#

Correct

fading quarry
#

Save on play exit work?

mint junco
#

Don't know, my save is far too large to have that enabled.

fading quarry
#

Not that big of a issue tho, I don't like having auto save on as long as the server is stable.

#

Ever gotten the dismantle crash with update 8 at all?

#

Probably the most annoying bug that have been in the game ever since multiplayer got added to the game.

mint junco
#

Don't think I've experienced that.
Presumably dismantling an object causes the server to crash?

mint junco
fading quarry
mint junco
#

Index out of bounds was a massive cause of random server crashes under U7.
I moved my save to single player because of it.
In U8 that has not occured so far for me.

Perfect!

ooo about 800 hours build time ago.
I've since moved the server to new hardware but the server crash list was so extensive I had to delete the crash folders, each was taking up over 100mb per crash and there were GBs of crash data.
I moved my save back to single player at about 3800 hours.
At U8 release I moved back to dedicated server.
I'm at 4500 hours now.

They're no longer relevent for U8

Ok got a question for the group. Me and my 2 buddies play on a dedicated server I host on an unraid install on a Dell 730xd. When we play single or 2 player it plays fairly well. A bit of lag and some minor rubber banding but nothing crazy. When the 3rd person joins things start getting real wonky.

I'm running att fiber that actually gets over gigabit speeds and pings to Google between 11 and 15ms. Since I'm on the same network as the server my pings are usually 1 to 5ms and my friend who lives nearby pings at around 30ms. The 3rd friend lives in Germany and pings at 160ms. Not ideal but generally not a cause for ridiculous rubberbanding.

We are running the newest patch on update 8.

Any ideas?

My friend has connection dedicated server connection problem. He take immediately server is down error.
I not seen nothing on server logs, not even connection try.
I can connect server and play it. So i can close server problem.
Server is ks1-game from ovh. we try also some public servers, whit same result. Ping work ok.
concrete difference is at my game come is from epic, And my friend is from steam.

Already tested: firewall / anti malware down, ipv6 disabled on client, -multhome at server.
I look at windows firewall should allow communication at client.

This moment we use experiential but this problem is continuous so long time at Early Access is already tested.
I not ficture out a client problem.
Seems at this game not ewen try to connect a any dedicated servers.
For debugging, What I look next?

I add, multiplayer work ok, if I hosting, both nat is moderate.

@deep turret sorry for the delayed response. I tried that and it crashed the server good. Like had to delete the docker, wipe the files and start from scratch. luckily i saved the save file ahead of time.

Hi everyone, I need some help with our DS, i've tried to find the information over the web without success... Is there a way to FULLY reinitialize the server to restart as if it is completely new

Is there a way ?

I suspect this is pretty much the same crash as moving via hoverpack.
e.g. forcing objects to load and the game has a conniption.

It's far more dramatic as you move long distances and force new areas to load into the client.
This goes back to the massive disparity between the single player experience and multiplayer/dedicated server experience.
Dedicated server should be the same or better as the compute load is split over multiple machines.

I think this plays into the fact that the game was not architected with multiplayer as a default.
It's been bolted on and it shows.
If the game had been architected as client/server even on a single player experience it would be much simpler to maintain.

When did U8 release?
I've got 799 crash dumps on my C: drive and want to clear out the up to 9GB sitting in there up to U8.

#

Got it, 13 June 2023

#

And there it is, 409 client crashes since U8 released.
Deleting all the crash dumps prior to the 13th has freed up 8GB of disk space on my C: drive.
Why aren't these automatically purged after being uploaded to coffeestain?
Are they even actually uploaded to coffeestain when we hit the send button?

Interestingly a server restart does create a continue file even though autosave is broken.
Although, the date in the filename is incorrect, being 3 days ago.

Loaded back into the game, picked up some materials from storage near the hub, moved 2 factories over and the client crashed.

I've submitted over 400 crash reports since U8 released.
Given they've not been fixed and have actually increased I decided to make sure a QA post was present.
As I posted earlier, there is no indication that submitting the crash reports makes any difference.
These posts are so I can link them to my QA post.
Had you clicked on that you would have seen.

And yes Ben asked me to give context around the crashes.
In total it comprises a body evidence that hopefully will lead to a fix for these crash conditions which when resolved will benefit the entire community.

Will dedicated servers be playable once the next update gets released or will it probably be unusable?

deep turret
#

it is already "usable" but not playable consistently
next big update will hopefully make it playable a bit by fixing some vehicle or hypertube crashes

deep turret

story short : it is currently playable at first game tiers
but once you start to spread hypertubes and vehicles and power it starts to get some problems (not a lot of them, but the few problems can be very annoying)

A small FIY, running both server and client on the same machine will generally result in lower performance, since both the server and client will have to keep nearly identical states in memory. (not entirely but pretty much)

loud minnow
spare orbit
#

that are both separated parts. the server just needs the server part and the client only the client

#

and yes, running the server on the same machine as the client has only two positive things:
no saving lag and you can also run it, letting a friend play without needing to have your client open, so better for background when doing something else.

#

when you play all the time anyway, second positive is gone. so you just have the savegame lag thing

there's 2 of us, and both stutter at the same time

loud minnow

Well besides getting faster hardware nothing really you can increase the time saves times to see if it helps or the network quality but that’s pretty much it..

frosty gale
#

server hardware?

loud minnow
#

Yeah that’s pretty much it..

deep turret
#

depends what type of problems you get

frosty gale
#

actually managed to get a quick video of it

deep turret
#

cpu side the server probably need more than the client

frosty gale
#

I'll assign it more cpu on the host

deep turret
frosty gale
#

happens between 7-8

#

it's on my local network, and over the WAN for friend

loud minnow
#

Well he said he is getting stutters in U8 when he didn’t have Update 7.. well beside the game being update to a more heavy engine to run off my guess is the hardware at DS is very unoptimized and you pretty much have to brote force it with new hardware

frosty gale
#

1ms ping to it

deep turret
#

may even be worse

frosty gale
#

sorry I meant 7 seconds and 8 seconds in the video

deep turret
#

because harder to schedule

deep turret
loud minnow
#

But only 4 core from a cpu from2012 and 4 core on a modern cpu from 2022 is not the same thing

#

Just as an fyi

frosty gale
#

it's assigned 2CPU's atm

#

I could boost that

#

vcpu's

deep turret
#

that's too low

frosty gale
#

16 CPUs x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 v3 @ 2.60GHz

deep turret
#

it's just enough but low

#

I would recommend at least 3 and sweet spot is 4

#

it will not use it all

#

but will have room

frosty gale
#

yeah I hardly use the box, I can bang it up a bit

deep turret
#

and 4 is logical

#

it will not take more actual ressources anyway

#

only will be able to take more

#

sparsingly

loud minnow
#

I’m running it of this no issues like lag or stutter but you still get your client crashes and sometimes server crashes but auto restart script get it back and running and I only assigned 8 threads and 16GB to this docker container and runs fine no issues

IMG_3833.png
frosty gale
#

it's back up now on more cpu's

deep turret
#

tbh 8 is a bit useless for satisfactory (dedicated server), it will never try to use more than 4, and usually have 2 busy

loud minnow
#

True but I still have another 24 thread doing nothing lol so give it a nice headroom that it will never used but so far the sever runs smooth well beside the DS bug but that’s because the dev are kinda bad towards DS

frosty gale
#

I gave it 6, and it's still doing it

loud minnow
#

Like I said older cpu will struggle to run it smoothly as this is very unoptimized.. is pretty much just ruining a multiplayer sessions in headless mode

frosty gale
#

maybe we go back to U7 for a while, it's a new world anyway

loud minnow
#

So you will need a modern cpu with decent IPC for update 8 imo

frosty gale
#

can U7 worlds upgrade to U8?

loud minnow
#

Yeah you can I have done it myself as a test

frosty gale
#

what about the reverse?

U8 used to run way worse compared to U7 but that was because U8 was very experimental and the latest updates seem to have fixed most of my performance issues (no more rubber banding or network time-out errors). Anyway, I'm not sure Satisfactory Dedicated Server really is that CPU hungry.

I don't know if this is specific to dedicated server but I only play on dedicated server.

Recently I decided to colour code all my trains, all 360+ of them.
What this highlighted was that from a distance a visual glitch appears on the freight cars.
As the train gets closer the visual glitch disappears.

Not a show stopper by any means but it should be logged.
The implication is there could be two objects in the same space that the game is trying render.

Hello community,
how can I set the storage intervals on the dedicated SiF server?
If I enter "FG.AutosaveInterval 900" in the ingame console to create a save every 15 minutes, I always get the response "Command not recognized: FG.AutosaveInterval 900".
What am I doing wrong? Can I also store the intervals in an ini?
FIXED by using search funktion 🙈
->mFloatValues=(("FG.AutosaveInterval", 900.000000)) in GUS.ini

I also noticed that my Windows SteamCMD SiF Server automatically restarts every 24 hours. How can I turn this off? There was a single in-game message 30 minutes before this reboot. And no more either. After the 30 minutes, the server shut down and did not restart automatically.

Can I change the time zone for the SiF server logs? The logs are in UTC, but the Windows 2016 host shows UTC+2.

#

@hot mortar now, when I try to join, firsts it waits a long time, then sends me to the loading screen, and then kicks me

But when I join, the console doesn't output anything

What the heck

When I access it through the local IP, it works, but when I use the public ip with forwarding, it doesn't

Could this be because the 15777 port lists IPV6 only?

Because my DNS server only has a IPV4, A record

When I start my server on ubuntu I can connect to it but when I load my save or a new save and try joining it kills the server the last mesage it displays is something about skipping dirty area creation.

The errors I could find in the log were mostly about:

Error: OSS: Leaderboards Interface Requested
Error: Couldn't find file for package Schematic_ObjectScanner_WAT1
Error: This will hitch streaming because it ends up searching the disk instead of finding the file in the pak file.

I bet all these people having issues with networking in Update 8 have to do with the default being IPv6 instead of using IPv4. It's just funny seeing all these people complain when they don't bother to read the wiki at https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers, or they don't use -multihome=<ip address>, etc... Then they blame the software when it's all user error

you see this line [2023.08.31-11.26.10:285][ 0]LogLoad: Took 10.352025 seconds to LoadMap(/Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Persistent_Level) that mean the server started fine and load the world.. now if you try to connected and is on the loading screen and then it shows the timeout screen or kick your out could be hardware related..

stuck cloud
#

Ahh I see

#

I was trying to make it run on 8GB but the wiki does say to have a minimum of 12

loud minnow
#

as the hardware you running this is to slow to load a player in and kicks you out to the timeout screen.. remember the program WONT load anything into the RAM until a player connected then it start to load assets IF your system cant load it fast enough you will get timeout OR if you dont have enough ram then it will also kill the program..

stuck cloud
#

But even if no one connects but you have the 'continue when game if paused' on True it crashes while no one connects is it related to the hardware issue?

loud minnow
#

yesh is a DS why would you have a DS and not have it running it all the time kinda useless imo..

#

and yeah mine dont crash when i leave it running...

#

and to answer your questing yeah it could be hard to know really

stuck cloud
#

you got more ram then (:

#

is it possible to download more ram?

loud minnow
#

i run it on my own hardware uning docker to limit the resources it uses..

now you just trolling... so this is either a hardware issue or a network issue but you say you can connect to it so my guess hardware issue

stuck cloud
#

I have VPS with Epic EPYC 7282 2ghz and 8gb of ram

loud minnow
#

i figure... i was i bet this person is using a provider and that is why they are having this issues. and i was right.. i host on my own hardware so your going to have to contact your provider to help you...

most of the time when your using a provider it could be network related issues'

Maybe I've hosting other game servers before on it so I figured maybe it would work the same Valheim server was through steamcmd as well

Yet it still does.

#

For any other service, if I bind it to "all available interfaces" that means it will work for both IPv4 and IPv6. The fact that it doesn't, for Satisfactory, is a regression from U7 at a minimum and arguably a bug. It's hard to imagine that it's intended behavior.

loud minnow
hot mortar
#

And I saw behavior similar to what you described when I was running with less than the minimum RAM requirement.

you don't get my message
I never said it was not a bug

hot mortar
#

then we agree 😅

deep turret
#

it IS a bug, and if one can't play with this : it IS also a user problem

#

because it's possible to play even with the bug there and you are kind of expected to either give up or get informations for workaround

hot mortar
#

early access lyfe.

deep turret
#

-multihome=address have been workaround

#

unless that workaround does not work anymore it's not ultimately a problem for experimenting the u8 DS

This just started this morning... Anyone else seeing this?

loud minnow
#

That’s just just the timeout error meaning your server didn’t respond within the set time which for you is 30 sec

#

You might need to post the logs.. and if your running update 8 most likely it has to do with ipv6/ipv4 issue

compact rapids
#

It's odd that it just started today. It was working on Update 8 until this morning. All good though. I'll try a few more things on my side and post some logs if necessary.

#

Here is what appears to be the relavant part of my log:

#

Is there an easy fix to the IPv6 bits? I see lots of discussion about it above but not sure if there is any concensus on the fix...

loud minnow
#

Just force to use one or the other.. and from that little part of the log all I see Is the sever running as it saving the world.. for some reason when you try to connect it refuses your connection

#

Seems like a networking issue as I also see this like in your logs [2023.08.31-19.58.34:736][ 71]LogNet: UNetDriver::TickDispatch: Very long time between ticks. DeltaTime: 147.95, Realtime: 147.95. NetDriverEOSBase_2147481971
Which I don’t see on mine

compact rapids
#

Yeah that's what hits just before the dissconnection.

#

I noted that Windows Updates seems to have enabled the IPv6 on my client machine so I turned that off but still having that timeout.

#

The saving the world is done when I disconnect from the system. The "timeout" seems to trigger the save.

loud minnow
#

You can try -multihome=<ip address>

#

See if that helps

compact rapids
#

<ipadddres> for the server I assume?

loud minnow
#

Well you only posted a very little part of the logs

compact rapids
#

Yeah outside of that little bit the logs generally look normal.

loud minnow
#

Well I can tell you it seems like your having networking issues that are not allowing you to connect to the sever and as all set up are different can’t really help you out..

loud minnow
compact rapids
#

I'll adjust that and the client timeout to 60 and just see if that helps.

short question

#

My friend has a dedicated server and since update 8 we all time out. Yes he has install the new version on the server. Is this a known issue?

#

We get a ping from the server but when we want to join we time out

mint junco
fierce minnow
hot mortar
#

I'm sticking with U8 because on U7 it seemed like the client could crash any time we run up to an enemy. U8 may have a few minor glitches but overall is more playable. I've seen a few random crashes on U8 as well, but the only consistent crash I've seen involves usage of hypertubes.

#

Also hoping that there is a better chance to get fixes on U8 for the crashes that remain (if I report them).

mint junco
# hasty dome short question

A screenshot helps.
If the server does not respond within the default timeout period then you will fail to connect.
This is particularly true as your save file size increases.
There are edits which can be made to the ini files to extend the connection timeouts.

i got the same message as this on a new server i got today, i am using Shockbyte but can not figure out the problem

image.png
#

it happens everytime i try to load the world

#

in fact it hapens every time i try to load the save on the server

sinful nymph
sour torrent
#

i think it is beacuse the save is very big so it takes longer than 30 seconds how can i make it take 60 seconds insead

loud minnow
#

That won’t fix your issue that screen is just the basic timeout screen just saying that your server didn’t respond within the set time which is 30 sec usually a server responds within a sec or 2 at most so you have probably a networking issue as your are Sikh a provider

loud minnow
sour torrent
#

the only reason i got a server is to take pressure off my computer because i was playing with just a duo but it isnt working

loud minnow
sour torrent
#

i have 36GB of ram

#

so its not that

loud minnow
#

That don’t mean anything 36gb of ddr2/ddr3 is not the same at 36gb of ddr4 or ddr5 another thing and just as an FYI you said shockbytes they don’t offer anything above 10GB of ram

sour torrent
#

i have 6GB thing with them will that not load a large save

#

or will it just take longer

loud minnow
sour torrent
#

ah right

loud minnow
sour torrent
#

i have a large save but i only need a server for 2 people so i would hope it would work

loud minnow
#

I have an 800h test save and is using around 8GB-10gb to be able to load it.. so just depend on the save

sour torrent
#

i have a 400h one

#

how can i find out how much it is usingh

loud minnow
#

But I don’t use a provider as they all suck imo I host on my on hardware as is far better than anything you can get out there for the price and it was just left over parts for me lll

loud minnow
sour torrent
#

i dont have any spare hardware

#

otherwise i would do that

sudden tusk
sour torrent
#

i have followed that but it dosent seem to work so i can only assume my save file is to big for the server

sudden tusk
#

I've never used Shockbyte, does it give you access to the server logs?

#

If it was running out of memory it should be fairly obvious in the logs

loud minnow
#

I was going to say yeah increasing the timeout will not fix any issues as the issue is something else.. and if it does that just mean the hardware is to slow anyways to have a smooth experience

loud minnow
sour torrent
#

i cant find the logs

sudden tusk
#

There's a "How to Find and Share Server Logs" on the shockbyte knowledgebase

does this give any issue on it?

FactoryGame/Saved/Logs should be in that location but your using a provider so idk

Yeah, and that client-side message is only telling you what you already know, "you can't connect". The server logs may be more indicative of the reason why you can't connect from a client.

That log only shows a successful session instance start up but the save hasn’t been loaded yet from what I could tell at the end of the log

I need you load the save and try to connect to it and then upload the logs

is it u7 or u8

u8 is better ram requirement wise, that's why I asked

but u8 unstable so dont worry to much about it

Yeah if this is update 7 you will need at least 12GB minimum

ah crap

loud minnow

#

Ah, alright that makes sense. my b

loud minnow
#

And right now he said update 7 and using shockbytes 6gb plan is never going to work..

#

Maybe update 8 he can run it but that’s a buggy mess so just play single player I guess because that’s what the devs care atm

sour torrent
#

why does it have a 6gb thing anyway if it cant run it

loud minnow
#

Because all provider don’t care to read the wiki or keep up with development of games so they all suck imo

i only wanted the server so my game is stable till update 8

You can try it

#

Will it work idk

are there any server providers you would reccomned

Yeah if you like hosting games just get your own hardware best deal you can ever get this is mine all from spare parts from upgrading my main rig lol

But imo none are good for game hosting you get crap hardware.. with them is kinda you pay for what you get you have to spend lots of money if you want something good or decent

deep turret

#

Just saying some people on here always forget to add the arguments etc..

#

That what I mean you have to make sure you set it up correctly to be able to access it but if you know how to do it is simple enough

deep turret
#

but u7 works better than u8 without lot of arguments though

loud minnow
#

True but when using a provider could be different.. your statement is correct when hosting on your own hardware etc

deep turret
#

if I remember right ovh does not do obvious infrastructure firewalling

#

so it is easier than behind a home box

loud minnow
#

Ok 👍 good.. I don’t used them so I can’t tell you how to do it but good news for this guy @sour torrent lol

sour torrent
deep turret
#

ovh actively do spam throttling, but not direct firewalling, but I may still be wrong

servers are just shit, even in minecraft i had lots of problems

depends what kind

i would host the world but my pc cant handel it rn

the best you can rent is baremetal hardware

Is more like a hobby imo if you like it you like it if not then your going to no have fun troubleshooting as that is pretty much all sever hosting is

sour torrent
#

hopefully U8 saves me

deep turret
#

if it is a performance problem u8 will not save you

#

if it is ram requirement problem then maybe

its more multiplayer

loud minnow
#

Just don’t hold your breath as DS have been getting more unstable as the update progress blame the dev that they don’t care for DS is all single player for them first

deep turret
deep turret
#

and they will not throw time at stabilizing ds until the game is running on stable engine in the first place

#

they dont have time to redo everything twice

loud minnow
#

Yeah that why I told him don’t hold your breath Lol 💀 because it might be couple of year before we even see some good DS coming from this devs

deep turret
#

couple of years

#

that's pessimistic imo

#

they will not change engine that often

#

they probably want to settle with 5.2

loud minnow
#

We will see with time how it all unfolds.. I’m just talking from experience from being hosting servers since introduced to the game and I can tell you as the update progress DS get worse because is pretty much a unoptimized slapped on multiplayer session to run headless on severs

Hows the experience on experimental for dedicated server im looking to start one using nitrado

few hundred are at least okay

Does anyone here have experience running a public server from a private network?

Try to make this as quick as possible. Running Satisfactory u7 via docker on a home server, where I run lots of games and services just fine. I can connect to Satisfactory fine via the local network (claim server, load save, connect to running game), using the local 192.* private IP. I have port forwarding set up for the three ports (7777, 15000, 15777; both tcp/udp) on my router. However, when trying to connect via my public IP (for both myself and my friends), the server times out and shows up as "not online". I have plenty of RAM and I've tinkered with both the client/server side timeouts.

Server-side logging doesn't show anything obviously wrong,

satisfactory    | [2023.09.03-00.37.59:223][ 81]LogNet: NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: 192.168.2.1:61623

and when connecting via the public IP, I see client-side logs like:
[2023.09.02-01.21.18:987][978]LogNet: Warning: Incoming ip address doesn't match expected server address: Actual: <my-server-private-ip-address>:15000 Expected: <my-server-public-ip-address>:15000
I've tried configuring Satisfactory to both blank and "0.0.0.0" addresses via the multihome startup flag. Of course, I can't bind the server to my public IP, so that's not an option.

I've also tried the experimental u8 version and I'm seeing the same problems.

I've tried a bunch of stuff here, but if anyone has any insight

chrome pumice
#

Multihome should be pointed to the private IP of the server. From my experience using 0.0.0.0 doesn't work some times.

0.0.0.0 works around the same as the actual ip. when ipv6 problem exists, both sometimes dont work

#

you sure, you route to the right ip in the router?

sudden tusk
#

I'm about 99% sure I have the internal routes set up fine. let me try relaunching the container passing along the IP of the container to multihome

sudden tusk
spare orbit
#

Created socket for bind address: :: on port 0

#

so port config is wrong and it tries to bind to ipv6

#

how do you start it?

sudden tusk
#

so yea, if I go into server manager and put in 192.168.2.235 as the server address, connects fine. it's only when I (or my friends) try to connect via the public IP that it fails to connect or even show the server as online

#

and if you notice in the server logs, the connect via public IP actually connects to the server fine (you see the connection accepted messages), but the client throws those IP mismatch errors, and so I assume it's a bug

#

also, even with the timeout set to 60, when adding the server via the server manager, the client will show the server offline in under 5 seconds.

deep turret
#

how do you start it ?

sudden tusk
#

docker-compose up -d

#

and in the container, that turns into

spare orbit
#

everything after log and unattended gets truncated

sudden tusk
#

ugh

spare orbit
#

also you are on linux, why is it even there

#

wiki says dont

deep turret
#

what is ?listen

spare orbit
#

wat

#

our server uses like 5 gb

#

ive never seen any server hitting 10

deep turret
#

ofcourse you've seen plenty

spare orbit
#

nah, only a few

deep turret
#

it's not for u8

#

u7 always hit 10

spare orbit
#

since ive run u7 on a 8 gb server, i doubt that

deep turret
#

did you check your swap

sudden tusk
#

I can connect fine via local network. The server runs fine according to my local network. It's only when connecting via the public IP that it fails. So, that means

  • the server is running and accepting connects and can run the game
  • it's bound to the correct default ports for the game to run and connect
spare orbit
#

i always disable swap

#

*on gameservers

spare orbit
#

localhost will always connect, even when completely misconfigured everything

deep turret
#

we already discussed that, u7 always start at 10
I don't know why your save is less
you may have ram compression on or something

sudden tusk
#

It's not localhost, it's running on a server on my local network. Not my desktop

spare orbit
#

though the server binds wrong

sudden tusk
#

I can connect fine via the 192.* address and play the game

deep turret
#

your starting command line is wrong

spare orbit
#

its at least weird

deep turret
#

-log and -unattended are not meant to be before actual settings

sudden tusk
#

I honestly don't think that matters

spare orbit
#

it truncates everything after it

#

thats why you dont bind it to any port nor ip

#

so that it works locally is just random luck

#

not actually working routing

sudden tusk
#

Okay, so I see this

image.png
#

but, again, not explaining why I can connect and play the game via the 192. address. if the server was failing to start or bind, I wouldn't be able to connect at all

#

but I can try to fix the command line sequence and see if that helps

spare orbit
#

it binds to random

deep turret
#

yes because it does bind but not correctly

sudden tusk
#

oh, okay.

spare orbit
#

so it can randomly work local

sudden tusk
#

right

spare orbit
#

but routing it specifically from outsie doesnt work

sudden tusk
#

right. that would explain why the port forwarded ports listed above aren't doing anything

spare orbit
#

the game outputs it binds to port 0 at address ::

deep turret
#

can you explain the ?listen I can't get how you ended up with that

sudden tusk
#

Actually, that's not correct

root@cc3d14fe0645:/config#
#

it's binding to the default ports

sudden tusk
spare orbit
#

ddoesnt matter what anything else says. the server shell says different and thats what counts

sudden tusk
#

but, if the process was bound to some other random port, wouldn't it show up in netstat? are you telling me the linux kernel is wrong lol

#

that netstat is from within the container

spare orbit
#

tbh, wouldnt use random software of someone completely unable to read the wiki and constructing a not working exec line

deep turret
sudden tusk
#

the docker container has almost 2 million pulls. I'm sure it's fine lol

deep turret
#

that's just what it request/open on the kernel

spare orbit
#

also, idk why people make it so complicated, i just start the server with screen an only -multihome

sudden tusk
#

well, I'll pull down the repo and build a custom image with the params swapped

deep turret
#

and most people just lurk

#

or read the official doc

spare orbit
#

yeah, and many had linux and random unattended and log in the command at random places

deep turret
#

or even just give up

spare orbit
#

yeah, but this command there wont work

deep turret
#

I just used doc steamcmd and Linux knowledge
built my own service server instance management definition
and u8 just required some .. experiment with the network binging options
and we ended up spreading the word that -multihome is needed
then it works fine

#

I mean docker is not replacement to getting informed about how it works and being able to adapt it

#

it is still changing

#

official documentation is first ressource to look at

deep turret
spare orbit
#

yeah, u7 bound default to ipv4 and u8 to ipv6
and gave some headache before seeing that

sudden tusk
#

Okay, unnessarily built a custom version of the container with the params swapped

same problem. can connect via local, not via public

#

also that can't bind message you read is from the client log, not the server

#

which doesn't matter

spare orbit
#

im still confused about the whole -log -unattended ?listen part
ive never seen that in working commands

deep turret
#

it should just support both
I can't get it how bad it is implemented
ue5 should never make itself responsible for routing or anything of this sort
only opening and closing sockets
and answering already open connections

sudden tusk
#

and netstat shows the process is still correctly binding to the default ports

spare orbit
#

also whats this? -NoSteamClient

sudden tusk
#

the only thing I can think of is there's some client-side bug in the net stack that doesn't like the local v private IP mismatch. I assume if the server was running the public IP, then it would be fine since the server and the client would agree

desert walrus
#

Can I get an issue recap?

sudden tusk
spare orbit
#

no, i also dont bind the server to an ip thats not the outside one. its behind a hardware firewall

sudden tusk
#

oh, interesting

spare orbit
#

would just use the normal server an not some miswritten command from github

sudden tusk
#

I mean. I could build a default ubuntu container, install the server stuff manually, and try. I'm just not too sure if that will tell us anything interesting

deep turret
sudden tusk
#

yeah I've got all that

spare orbit
#

check if the server actually binds to the correct ip in the server shell

sudden tusk
#

I've spent too many years doing system and network engineering at FAANG level. I'm not saying I know everything, but I know enough to believe I'm not a total noob with this stuff lol

#

let me do that

deep turret
#

it it's not network then it's server config
double-check you shut it down before retesting starting arguments also

spare orbit
#

what does the server say

#

it directly says where it binds

sudden tusk
#

hmm. netstat is telling you were it's binded

spare orbit
#

no

sudden tusk
#

is there some satisfacotry server command I should be running?

spare orbit
#

?

deep turret
#

well yes, but not what the server is doing about it
