dedicated-servers

[sullen remnant]

this is it now

is that correct?

[civic lantern]

:: is ipv6 equivalent of 0.0.0.0

[deep turret]

put port setting and multihome before -log -unattended

[civic lantern]

ISTM it should be fine either way

[solemn matrix]

hm, thought that was the issue, but guess not.

pretty sure my port forwardings are set up properly, as others can see my other opened port stuff

but when they tried to add the server, kept saying it's offline

(local LAN is fine)

[sullen remnant]

it does say the same tho

or should i set serverqueryport to 27015?

[civic lantern]

i wouldn't change any of the port numbers

[oblique crag]

I figured it out. Apparently it does not like using my servers name and wants the IP address. Now to see if I can get my save to load

[civic lantern]

can you elaborate "it does say the same" . To what nottoosmart said, you can also use the speicifc localnet IP on that machine, but 0.0.0.0 means "any ipv4"

[sullen remnant]

i'm trying to connect externally tho, does that make a difference?

[civic lantern]

in port numbers- no

in IP address- yes

[sullen remnant]

i'm using its ipv4 address

[deep turret]

if you are talking about binding address stuff : no
that is talking about the server's local addresses

[oblique crag]

yeah, im using the local IP, before when it was giving me issues i was trying the server.local name

[civic lantern]

doing "ifconfig" as root should show you the local IP's, and if you for some reason don't want to use 0.0.0.0 you use the actual localnet IP

[fallen glacier]

Still reading above for people with similar issues, but I can't find any yet.

I just updated a working server on my own linux machine to update 8 and it's gone kaput.
It seems to start okay, and I can see it in server manager but am unable to connect. from an internal IP or external IP.

I've tried nuking the server files and rebuilding it, but no luck there. I'm not sure what I might be missing given that it was working fine before update 8.

[deep turret]

no need to do root, use ip add please instead

[civic lantern]

external access involves dicking around with router forwarding rules. I avoid all question of that and use an edge VPN (zerotier) to work with friends

[civic lantern]

netstat -tan | grep LISTEN

[deep turret]

?

[polar solstice]

same, when creating a new world on the new server version, it crashes

[deep turret]

ss -plnu | grep Unreal as root

[fallen glacier]

This has no output even with the apt. Not sure if that is expected

[sullen remnant]

well, still nothing

[polar solstice]

So dedicated server not working right now?

[solemn matrix]

works locally for me

externally no

[polar solstice]

me externally is working, i can connect to the server manager from satisfactory, but crashes on world generation

[civic lantern]

well, i'm giving the commands that work in debian or ubuntu. if you're in red hat or arch or something like that... good luck

if netstat isn't installed, possibly ss is

[mellow wyvern]

we need a fix for the dedicated server

[polar solstice]

are there log files where i can trace the error?

[polar solstice]

so not working too?

[queen cradle]

server crashes loading a world

[polar solstice]

yep same here

LogLoad: (Engine Initialization) Total time: 1.29 seconds

LogGameState: Match State Changed from WaitingToStart to LeavingMap

[mellow wyvern]

the question is if the coffeestains are working on it or not.

[polar solstice]

is there a support channel or contact?

[civic lantern]

this is is

this is it

[polar solstice]

perfect xD

[civic lantern]

from what they said in their video, they are fixing some things in the multiplayer panel first. Dedicated is way down at the bottom of the list of priorities

above golf, tho

[polar solstice]

so dedicated server not functional for a long time i guess?

[civic lantern]

it has been sort of working throughout the exp period and can't imagine why that would have changed now

[polar solstice]

hmm weird, anyone got it running yet?

[languid remnant]

Nope, not working here either

[civic lantern]

i haven't started one in months, but it won't take me long. let's see..

[polar solstice]

good luck then

[fringe kelp]

-DisablePacketRouting

[rugged hamlet]

ok got it thanks

[stable yarrow]

Did you get your server running?

[polar solstice]

you got server problems too?

[brittle sage]

i think everyone has them

[stable yarrow]

Yeah, my buddy tried to update and cant get it working

[brittle sage]

and this fixes it thanks alot

[polar solstice]

it fixes what? mine is crashing the whole time

[brittle sage]

this issue

[rugged hamlet]

yes

[polar solstice]

on early access?

[brittle sage]

mine didnt crash (tbf we just reinstalled the whole thing anyways because we wanted to wipe it) i just werent able to connect

[rugged hamlet]

update 8 working both server and client

[polar solstice]

im doing a fresh reinstall

[brittle sage]

as of now mine is working and i have joined successfully

[twilit fox]

I updated mine no issues as of yet..

[polar solstice]

okay the issue for me seems to be the server is in a kvm environment, but dont know why that should be a problem

[twilit fox]

it shouldn't unless it causes network issues.

[past lotus]

did the game get an update as no mod seems tro work atm?

[polar solstice]

the server doesn't even start

[past lotus]

ooh lol

[twilit fox]

if you've got it setup in a kvm, spool up a fresh install and setting it up there?

[polar solstice]

i did a fresh satisfactory installation, now trying a new kvm installation

[twilit fox]

or, run the steamcmd server install command again. maybe something didn't get downloaded right

[polar solstice]

already tried 5 times

[twilit fox]

alright. what are you using for a guest os and what is your hypervisor?

[polar solstice]

proxmox, ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

its pretty weird

[rugged hamlet]

i'm running same setup

[twilit fox]

it's cool tho. ubuntu not so much. the only linux distro I have any luck with is raspbian.

[polar solstice]

lol okay, why the hell is mine bitching all the time

its so weird, it worked to the server console then it crashed, and since then broke

[queen cradle]

@polar solstice, make sure your processor type in proxmox under hardware is set to host.

that just fixed me.

[polar solstice]

lets try

[queen cradle]

It's relying on some optimization in the cpu that isn't passing through with the generic type.

[polar solstice]

Interesting Information, where did you get it tho?

Is it just UnrealEngine things?

[queen cradle]

it's in here somewhere.

[polar solstice]

oh okay

[queen cradle]

found via a support ticket for update 8

[coral shard]

setting the session to "friends only" doesn't do anything, what am I missing?

[polar solstice]

it indeed works now, ty very much

[queen cradle]

No problem! Just passing on the info 🙂

[twilit fox]

This might be the wrong channel

I'll make a note of that for when I setup stuff on proxmox. thanks

[coral shard]

oh i'm running a dedicated server i figured this would be it

[twilit fox]

dedi's are joined through the server manager.

session settings have no effect on it.

[halcyon finch]

I see that this update changed RAM usage drastically

[sinful needle]

I haven't played in a while.
Anyone who is playing these days on a dedicated server. Do the conveyor belt animations work correctly now?

[jolly cradle]

anyone got a dedicated i can join?

[wanton furnace]

I have a similar setup and after today's update my server kept crashing. your suggestion fixed it. Thanks and this might be worth pinning.

[thorny shore]

Is anyone else having trouble with the EA dedicated server?

[raven topaz]

One of my friends set up a dedicated server. Other friends can join without any problems without changing settings, enabling ports etc.

But for some reason this doesnt work for one of our friends. He just get a notification about "Server name pending - NotAuthenticated" or "This server appears to be offline".

Any ideas? :S

Using latest version early access, client version CL#264901

[thorny shore]

That's what I'm getting, same setup

[raven topaz]

hmm, we have tried quite a lot of different things now but to no avail 😦

[clear canopy]

anyone know where i have to change the default port of my dedicated server? like in that .ini?

[unique nacelle]

How are you running it ? (Linux/Windows/Docker/Cloud/etc)

[clear canopy]

Windows

added [/script/Engine.GameSession] MaxPlayers=16 but i wanna edit the ports too

[unique nacelle]

It's explained here https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Windows_2

You pass command line arguments witht the ports you want to use.

[clear canopy]

ive been using that but my server crashes since the update came out

.\FactoryServer.exe -ServerQueryPort=50062 -BeaconPort=50355 -Port=50063 -log -unattended

[unique nacelle]

I would look at the logs to see why it crashes.

[clear canopy]

the ports are open but thats the last 6 lines

[thorny shore]

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

[unique nacelle]

And you're sure it's not running

?

[clear canopy]

yes it is infact not running, the console closes after the port listening attempt

[unique nacelle]

Does anyone have a problem where tractors in the game don't run smoothly ? (they teleport from one spot to another). I tried changing network quality on the client and server to ultra and also changed the different bandwidth settings but nothing helps.

[unique nacelle]

Strange. Unfortunately I'm not super familiar with windows so I can't help much more.

[hardy sluice]

Hi guys, i just set up my server in a proxmox container and it seems not working. when i add the ip address on the game it shows "Idle / Server name pending / Not authenticated / Ping 1ms" but after like 20s it pops up this message. Can anyone help me please?

[clear canopy]

did u portforward?

[hardy sluice]

I'm on lan, do i need to? Cause i have other server i can access in lan too without portforward...

[clear canopy]

only if u enable the ports on the container ofc

then u can connect to it without problem afaik

not ur router settings, the container settings

[unique nacelle]

@hardy sluice one thing I had when setting mine up was that the documentation was wrong and said to expose 7777/tcp but you had to expose 7777/udp instead.

@hardy sluice which image are you using ?

[hardy sluice]

But, just for be sure, is it working right?

[unique nacelle]

That looks good, yes.

[hardy sluice]

I downloaded with steamcmd the lastest stable build so update 8 same build as experimental

[unique nacelle]

Oh you're not running in a docker container ?

[clear canopy]

fresh output

still stopped at the port part

[hardy sluice]

Not right now, i had a pre setupped container with assetto and minecraft servers so for simplicity i just run out of the box, do i need to use it?

[thorny shore]

I have essentially the same setup (NSSM), latest EA build (should be U8) on both client and server, server is starting up but the client is refusing to acknowledge it's running. I've tried clearing the ServerSetting.15000 file, changed some arguments. Server is definitely running, but...the client is being the client.

[unique nacelle]

Not necessarily. In that case if you have a firewall on your proxmox server make sure that the ports are open (15000/udp, 15777/udp and 7777/udp)

[clear canopy]

how do i find out whats wrong with my server, if its not telling me whats wrong with it

[unique nacelle]

Is this the log that's printed to the console ? If so maybe you can find more information in the log files.

[clear canopy]

C:\Users\Server\Desktop\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryGame\Saved\Crashes\UECC-Windows-08672809421011C182D19DA210F012AD_0000 thats the path

[hardy sluice]

Okay, now i temporary disabled the firewall but still doesnt work sadly

[unique nacelle]

And your server's IP is 192.168.178.16 ?

[hardy sluice]

Yep

[unique nacelle]

Can you du netstat -lnup on the server ? It will give you a list of UDP ports the server is listening on.

[clear canopy]

i guess ill wait when they finally let me add the ports wihtout making a batch file :/

[thorny shore]

Have you tried using NSSM?

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Running_as_a_Service#NSSM

[hardy sluice]

Here u go

[unique nacelle]

Interesting

[hardy sluice]

Nope, but i give it a read, thanks

[unique nacelle]

Looks like you're onl listening on port 15777 on ipv6 and not ipv4 for some reason

[dusky forge]

I just came here because we have the exact same problem with the new update (installed a few hours ago). We have installed it on Windows Server 2019 and we suspect it has to do with .NET 4.8 but we have no solution so far, still searching

Dedicated server is exiting with no real issues

[hardy sluice]

Okay so i have to try disabling ipv6

[thorny shore]

Use the -multihome switch when on Linux, otherwise it tries to use ipv6

[unique nacelle]

That seems like a bazooka to kill a fly. I would try to understand why it's not listening on the port on ipv4

Well, there you go I guess.

[hardy sluice]

Do i have to place before the command or? Sorry but i am a bit noob on theese things

[thorny shore]

All switches go after the call to the executable.

hold up a minute while I load up my VM running Debian that I spun up just for testing Satisfactory dedi on Linux

[hardy sluice]

Thanks mate now it works, time to try to set it up 🙂

[thorny shore]

alright, have fun (:

now to figure out why my dedi server on Windows is being wonky-donkey

[gilded elbow]

Do you have found asolution for this problem? 🙂

[hardy sluice]

Yep, thanks to @thorny shore i had to use -multihome ipaddress

[boreal lance]

Hey ya'll. What do you all recommend as the best way to play this game multiplayer? Rent a server or just let ppl connect to you?

[thorny shore]

It's what your comfortable with.

If you're not okay with people knowing your IP address, rent a server.

[boreal lance]

One isn't any less buggy than the other then?

[thorny shore]

I don't know, I've not rented a server for this game.

But both would be using the same software, so the bugginess would be probably the same.

[boreal lance]

Gotcha. A buddy and I rented a sever back in July and it had a bunch of bugs. We played for a couple weeks but the bugs just broke things too much and we quit right after we got trains.

[thorny shore]

may have just been the release y'all were playing? I dunno.

[boreal lance]

Yeah, idk. I can't find many patch notes about dedicated servers so I'm not sure how to find out.

So I decided to come here. 🤣

[wanton violet]

Anyone else have issue with dedicated server since todays patch? We can't connect anymore but server is updated and should be running.

[dusky forge]

Mine is crashing (Steam version on Windows Server 2019). Still trying to figure it out

[gilded elbow]

You just add this in line command in start file? 🙂

[thorny shore]

I am, not sure how to fix it though

[wanton violet]

But I am not the only one with issues right? The patch broke something about dedicated server?

[thorny shore]

I really wish they'd hire a team to focus on the Dedicated Server if they're serious about it.

[gilded elbow]

Not work for me 😢

Help! 😭

[thorny shore]

The server in theory shouldn't be broken, as it's the same one I've been using for the last two months on experimental

[tight zealot]

Same here old Server working without problems i disabled ipv6 and firewall no solution for me

[stone star]

Hi everyone, since the update our Dedicated is no longer working - we just get a Connection Timed Out

[tight zealot]

after the update it will not work

[thorny shore]

hashtagblamesnutt

I'm going to try something.

[gilded elbow]

I've try disable firewall, same problem... '-_-

I don’t know what to do better

[crisp lark]

So I have been reading some of this and have an observation. 15777 appears to still be IPv6 even with -multihome, but the rest is IPv4

[neat cloud]

[thorny shore]

did you do -multihome=<ipaddress> where <ipaddress> is your numerical ip address?

[wanton violet]

where to put this? On nssm or in ini file?

[stone star]

i may have just fixed mine just confirming now

Looks to be working

[gilded elbow]

<ipadresslocal>? or <ipadresspublic> ?

[stone star]

Yep fixed it

[thorny shore]

the one you're going to use to connect to it

[stone star]

Found my serversettings file was corrupt after the update - renamed this and rebuilt it and now its loading

[thorny shore]

I fixed mine by going back to the experimental branch for the Dedi server.

[stone star]

Just waiting to get into the game fully

Yep im in game now

If your linux check the following file

[crisp lark]

I just did the switch, no IP. Im disabling IPv6 entirely on the server and going from there.

[gilded elbow]

I try 🙂

[stone star]

~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/ServerSettings.xxxxxx - your probably find its corrupt

[crisp lark]

The file itself was?

[thorny shore]

you need to specify the IP address.

[crisp lark]

Let me try that real quick then

[thorny shore]

I deleted mine multiple times.

[stone star]

all i did was "mv ServerSettings.xxxxx ServerSettings.xxxxxxx.bak" let it rebuild and mine came straight back on

[thorny shore]

but I'm happy. the EA branch for the dedi server appears to be fubar'd.

[stone star]

@thorny shore im on the EA branch on dedi

[crisp lark]

That works better according to netstat

[thorny shore]

weird.

[stone star]

Try connecting to it now

[crisp lark]

I also noticed that if the game shows the server as Offline, sometimes restarting the game is necessary to get it to recognize its now online

[thorny shore]

spent the last hour doing all the basic stuff. Restart the client, delete serversettings.portnumber, restart the server.

[crisp lark]

Im just starting that myself.

[gilded elbow]

Your solution work!!! Thanks!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

ipadresslocal

start FactoryServer.exe -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 -Port=7777 -multihome=192.168.1.57 -log -unattented

[wanton violet]

the multihome command, do I use it with steamcmd.exe or where do I put it? I was runnning server on a windows machine using nssm. Ah my bad I can do it in nssm

[crisp lark]

multihome worked for me on Ubuntu 20.04

Thats ./FactoryServer.sh -multihome=IPv4AddressHere

[gilded elbow]

I'm on Windows server 2016 and it work

[tight zealot]

same here

[gilded elbow]

@thorny shore you're the best! 🙂 😉

[thorny shore]

yw

[crisp lark]

Is there a place to report general bugs?

[tight zealot]

work for me to

[crisp lark]

The foliage is back spontaneously

[thorny shore]

yes

[stone star]

just make sure to update your service command line if your running it as a service

[crisp lark]

#open-a-ticket ?

[thorny shore]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

[crisp lark]

Thanks.

[thorny shore]

yw

[wanton violet]

but using dyndns I use that right?

[crisp lark]

Its the servers IP. Not hostname

[wanton violet]

I have the server in my local network open to puclic via dyndns. My IP is changing regularly thats why I was doing it like this. My friends connected to the server successfully using the dyndns address.

[neat cloud]

Hi, Since the update, my dedicated server is no longer working. When i create a new session, my server is offline

[thorny shore]

You may have to download the 'experimental' branch dedi server. I got it working that way. I would try some of the other steps, before hand (try deleting serversettings.portnumber, for example). I'm going to lay down.

[wanton violet]

have a good night, thanks for you help!

[young wing]

Imma try this

[neat cloud]

Thx for your help, but didn't work :/

[young wing]

Me either

[wanton violet]

Maybe the suggestion was for me. Try the multihome argument

start FactoryServer.exe -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 -Port=7777 -multihome=192.168.1.57 -log -unattented

[young wing]

Is the multihome ipv4 supposed to be my local or public ip?

[wanton violet]

I think it is the local

[young wing]

Idk if I should put this here, but it's when I try to connect to the server. Command line shows it's online so idk

[thorny shore]

It's the IP everyone is going to use to connect to

[young wing]

Ok

But not hostname correct

[thorny shore]

I dunno, hostname might work if you have one.

[silver pawn]

Has anyone figured out any of this? I've been following this thread for a while, and me and my friend are having the same issues. Either Server name pending, or the connection timeout error.

[bleak epoch]

Do u guys see stability upgrade on update 8 deditacted server?

[carmine pebble]

I'm getting the same error
My server is 1 hour behind my client, I don't know how to change the time in the Satis server

[young wing]

what server are you running? how did you check the time?

[carmine pebble]

the time for the server is 23h26, my client is at 23h26 but in the log of the server is 22h26

[young wing]

weird

[carmine pebble]

maybe some UTC things

I'm in france and we have Winter hour and summer hour

[young wing]

daylight savings yeah

it might be that

idk 🤷‍♀️

[carmine pebble]

so I can only play in the summer

Here is my log

[young wing]

I tried setting the multihome argument to my local, public, and hostname. None of them made a difference. Even restarted the router for good measure

[gilded elbow]

local

[thorny shore]

It depends

[young wing]

ok why yall giving different answers

elaborate on "it depends"

[thorny shore]

Which address are you going to connect to? Use that one.

[young wing]

I use the hostname

[gilded elbow]

try with local, it work for me, and see for external user... idk

[thorny shore]

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

Since this is the example given, I suggest using the numerical ip address.

The documentation shows that it expects a numerical ip address.

[young wing]

ok I set it to local even though I had already tried it

and it works now for unknown reasons

[gilded elbow]

IP v4

[scenic musk]

anyone know how to fix the map? litterally got 3 resources showing up and map markers at end game stage.

[thorny shore]

just leave things be for a bit.

it happens to me every now and again, usually after I've used SCIM

[neat cloud]

Someone help me, since the update, as soon as I launch a new game on my server (debian), the server stops and goes offline

[young wing]

I'd help you since mine did the same thing, but somehow fixed itself

maybe verify files again 🤷‍♂️

[scenic musk]

tried that, only thing ive found is replacing structures gets them to come back but that will take forever lol

[pliant spindle]

I did a complete reinstall of my server to resolve this (removed all my files on the debian server regarding satisfactory).

reinstall of my satisfactory server*

Problem im facing since the update is that my connection keeps getting timed out

Anyone know a solution? or is this a confirmed bug?

[latent nebula]

"There are currently no plans for an ARM CPU-compatible build, so the Dedicated Server cannot be deployed to, for instance, a Raspberry Pi or new Microsoft Surface Pro." :(

[thorny shore]

I mean, recommended RAM is 12GB minimum for 4 people.

[latent nebula]

I have 4c 24gb arm servers

so it's just a bit unlucky, can't serve the minor edge case though

[thorny shore]

Raspberry Pi's?

[latent nebula]

;') x86 servers are expensive

[thorny shore]

Not really?

[latent nebula]

compared to arm ones

[thorny shore]

I'm using a repurposed Dell Optiplex <250

[pliant spindle]

well this is a problem... network issues werent an issue before the update

[latent nebula]

they are Ampere A1 virtualised, not RPs

I am a student I don't intend to lug around server hardware

[thorny shore]

Dell Optiplex is a desktop

anyway, most modern motherboards are capable of virtualization. Client Hyper-V, VirtualBox, a host of options for both Windows and Linux.

[young wing]

Why would you lug around the hardware?

[young wing]

maybe try setting multihome argument in launch

it worked for me I think

[pliant spindle]

how do I do that with sh?

[latent nebula]

I would rather the server be remote instead of running out of my room, which is why I was sad I can't utitlise my ARM VPS'

[young wing]

bash FactoryGame.sh -multihome=<ip address>

[thorny shore]

put the switches after the shell script. It's how I did it.

[sour igloo]

do i need two copies of the game to boot a server on another PC? i reinstalled the server after the update 8 and it says i need to purchase the game on my server. PC Used to work with 7?

[young wing]

Just in case: you are running the dedicated server right

[sour igloo]

from the steam client yes

[young wing]

ok

people make mistakes so it never hurts to ask

what is the server running with windows or linux?

[sour igloo]

Window

[young wing]

hmm

[latent nebula]

the server uses your steam id as a host, you only need one copy of the game I believe

[young wing]

idk then

[pliant spindle]

This worked for me, but only on my private IP. It is not accecible for public trough my router even tho it is port forwarded on 15777

[young wing]

try port forwarding 15000 and 7777 as well

also are the ports open in the server itself

[pliant spindle]

yeah ports are open

ill try the others too, thx for the tip

[young wing]

idk what 15000 is exactly meant to do. The wiki refers to it as a beacon port. 7777 is the game port. 15777 is the query port tho

[gusty pewter]

Hey all, my dedicated server is on EA and since it updated to Update 8 today, it won't launch anymore (I'm using the Steam launcher). I don't get any console window, after a few seconds Steam just goes from saying I'm playing the game to saying I'm not.

Is this a common issue with the move from Update 7 to Update 8?

[pliant spindle]

There have been some issues yes, what exactly are you experiencing?

Is it an linux or windows server?

[gusty pewter]

Oh sorry, Windows

Windows 10

Are there like, log files somewhere I can check to see what's going on?

[pliant spindle]

I'm not familliar with Windows 10 (just windows) hosting unfortunatly. But maybe someone else can help?

Mainly dealing with Linux shit here

[young wing]

^^^^

[grave pine]

Hello everybody. I am new here.
I recently bought the game, and I would like to be able to play online with my brother (who lives at another address). Is it possible to run a server on my own computer and have it access so we can play together?
I have already installed the "dedicated server". An ms-dos window opened with a bunch of text that I don't understand.
I'm quite a beginner, I don't even know where to start to try to access and see if the server is running. I tried to access using my IP address but it didn't work. Can someone help me? (Windows)

As a first step, I would be happy if only I could access a local server... later I venture to go further and free up ports on the router for it to access

[gusty pewter]

Have you looked at this page already? https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Port_forwarding_and_firewall_settings

[grave pine]

Reading. Thanks

[young wing]

also if you don't plan on playing seperate you can just do regular multiplayer, either through steam/epic or sharing session id

[gusty pewter]

Yeah, I didn't think to point it out, but if you only ever expect to play together, you don't need a dedicated server. Dedicated servers are just if you want something that can be running all the time even if nobody is on so that anyone can hop on at any time

[grave pine]

I don't know how I do this, but it seemed quite interesting for what I want. I'll research how to do this. If you have a link to a tutorial I would appreciate it.

[young wing]

do you both have the game through steam?

[grave pine]

Yes

[young wing]

both hop on, one of you create the world. Make sure you're friends on steam ofc. Invite them through the friends tab in the overlay (shift+ tab)

[grave pine]

Great. That will work. Thanks. Thank you very much

[young wing]

glad to help

have fun

[pliant spindle]

tried everything on a new server with freshly installed steam and dedicated server.

Server details:
Linux Debian 11 (with gnome)
4 cores
20gb ram
128gb SSD

problem description:
when I try to load a save, or create a new one. The server crashes completly. So I can see and manage saves and manage the server. But I can't open a save in-game. It crashes after that.

It also only allows me to connect when I specify multihome in "bash FactoryGame.sh -multihome=<ip address>"

The game is not installed with root, but with a regular user called "steam". It is installed with the command "steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit". In accorance with the documantation: https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers.

I have no solution for this. But I have a logfile that might explain why this is happening. Maybe one of the devs can take a look at it?

[young wing]

I'm no dev, but can you send that as a txt file?

[pliant spindle]

hold up let me see what I can do

Download it and you'll eventually see "critical error"

Second attempt... same result as above

I believe this is the first part of the stacktrace where it all goes to shit.

Something with an unhandled exception: SIGABRT: abort() called

0x00007f55fc8cad3c libc.so.6!UnknownFunction(0x8ad3c)

[frosty gale]

Yo can I join?

[west plinth]

are there any known no-nos on dedicated servers? or list somewhere?

[frosty gale]

How do I join the dedicated server

[queen cradle]

In a VM?

[pliant spindle]

Yes actually

[queen cradle]

Change your CPU type to host.

[pliant spindle]

Proxmox Virtual Machine

[pliant spindle]

Ah can do, but I'm going to sleep for now haha. That could be it tho

[queen cradle]

It is, fixed it earlier today 😉

[pliant spindle]

How did you get that out of that stacktrace?

[queen cradle]

Was a ticket that pointed to a discord message.

Google-fu.

[pliant spindle]

What did you google then?

[queen cradle]

The discord message is in this channel, probably easier to find than what I did.

[pliant spindle]

Alright. Thx, I'm trying it now because otherwise I can't sleep haha

[queen cradle]

The new update likely is requiring a new (to the engine) instruction set from the cpu. This exposes everything the cpu has to the VM.

[pliant spindle]

yeah makes sense, testing it now

Appears to be running stable. Trying it with our (insane) save now

[pliant spindle]

Okay insane save file still does not work unfortuantly

Does anyone know what these errors could mean?

We have modified the save file once or twice. Moved around some stuff in it. I think the file might just no longer be compatible with update 8

[errant geyser]

Means a chaos physics related crash

[gusty pewter]

Is this out of date? https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#How_can_I_have_more_than_four_players_in_my_server?

[desert walrus]

probably, that page is pretty behind and I need to do a lot of work to get it caught back up

[gusty pewter]

My dedicated server doesn't have a SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\game.ini file

I have a SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\Engine.ini and .\GameUserSettings.ini

I tried adding the suggested stanza to both and I'm still getting the "server full" message when a 5th player tries to join

MaxPlayers=8```

[sonic dew]

I was getting errors after updating the dedicated server, so I made a copy of the gameserver folder and it's running fine, now what would be the directory where the actual world save to import it? Seems to be if I copy over the log world save files (if that's correct) the below error happens

[errant geyser]

You need to make a file yourself, next to Engine.ini and GameUserSettings.ini

[tranquil flicker]

Major rubber banding through connected clients, I'm getting the following errors.

/Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Persistent_Level.Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.AbstractInstanceManager_2147479669.InstancedStaticMeshComponent_2147473833 NOT Supported.

At the time of the rubber banding

[thorny shore]

I don't get it. EA and EXP dedi servers are showing same version number, why was the one listed as EA not working? so frustrating.

[frosty gale]

Satisfactory Dedicated was fine until update 8 went to EA.
I had a Experimental 8 game save that we had tried doing multiplayer with a friend and they weren't able to have connected. So I had made a update 7 dedi server and everything was fine until installing update 8. I can't even connect to it. (Luckily the save file is accessible)

also received warnings on Build_PipeHyperStart, New/Old Root Size mismatch which I am unsure if this is a normal operation then connection issues and my IP address which gives the return message ingame of can not connect

[restive pumice]

what are some of you guys specs for your server pc you are hosting the dedicated server?

cause i was thinking about setting it up on my old pc that has a 4th gen intel with 16 gb ddr3

[tranquil flicker]

i9-9900ks, 16gb ddr4

[restive pumice]

do you use the gui that is provided on steam or use the steamcmd?

[lusty halo]

my dedicated server is also now broken

please tag if you have a possible solution or need more information

[hushed sorrel]

Do you guys have a dedicated server provider you recommend?

me and my friends are planning a play through

[lusty halo]

I use steamcmd in a docker container on a VM (4 cores, 8gb ram) on my server (Xeon E5645 48 GB registered ECC memory). For storage I have a raid array of SAS drives with 50gb allocated to the VM

[lusty halo]

If you are technically minded I would recommend self hosting on an old computer otherwise someone else might be able to point you to a good host

[hushed sorrel]

Meh. Im to lazy to set it up on my own server and give up the precious little bandwidth i have i rather throw money at my computer to make the problem go away

but i would like to not miss lol

[lusty halo]

Fair call

[frosty gale]

I'm running my server on a 3900 and 128gb of ram thru hetzner and running it as a service. Debian is the OS.

[restive pumice]

I thought about doing a linux based system on my pc but i dont know much about linux in general to start doing servers on it

[frosty gale]

It is super easy

[restive pumice]

would it be perferable to do it thru VM and still acheive the desire product?

[frosty gale]

However you'll need to learn how to do port forwarding that of which I don't know how being I am using a dedicated server in a data center

No

[restive pumice]

oh that is easy since i have alreayd setup a valheim server on my pc with portforward on 2456

[restive pumice]

hmm i might keep that in mind but i might have to figure out an alternative server setup for my valheim server too

[frosty gale]

However rn dedicated servers seem to be going brrr

[lusty halo]

That is how I learnt Linux lol

[pliant spindle]

Anything I can do about that?

I have over a 1000 hours with friends in that world haha

[pliant spindle]

Oh mate, just begin. It's like programming, you learn by doing. Once you get the hang of it, you'll love it.

[ornate fern]

Hey, i Just deleted my WORKING steam Dedicated server to create a new one from scratch. So basically i havn't changed anything, just deleted it ingame, and re-added it. Now it wont ever appear as online again. I can't change anything with it. What do i do 🙈

[whole meadow]

Folks who are having the Abort Signal 6 (Chaos physics related) crash on Dedicated Server hosted on Linux - one of the solution is here .

[ornate fern]

Should i just delete my whole SatisfactoryDedicatedServer folder and re-install everything?

[wanton violet]

experiemental branch works for me now. Server on Windows 11 using nssm

[ornate fern]

Ok So this is what i did:
Launched SatisfactoryDedicatedServer from Steam (tools)
Launched Satisfactory Game
Went into Server Manager and added my own server from my WAN ip. (Ports should't really matter since i am connecting locally, but they're forwarded anyway)
Server appears offline.

What did i do wrong? 🙈

[glad nest]

If you added it from your wan ip without forwarding it may very well matter

Test by doing lan ip instead

[ornate fern]

Oh nice. lan ip worked. Quick question though, do you know where i can find my server password? Forgot what password i put 2 years ago

Thank you by the way

[glad nest]

Dont think you can, easy way would be to remove server config

[ornate fern]

💀

[glad nest]

It should not causw any trouble

You can still use same map

[ornate fern]

Wheres the server config? 😅 I navigated to config/WindowsSerrver but most of these settings are just graphical settings or empty

[glad nest]

For windows i can not answer

Check wiki

I belive it used to be in one of those %appdata% folders but not sure

[ornate fern]

Bruh

these are some hidden files my man

I deleted the whole folder and it still recognizes as my old server

Ok so new question:

How do i reset my server settings 😅

When you've forgot your own password*

[silk widget]

Hey! What was the solution?

Found it. Abort signal 6 on proxmox VM, reconfigure CPU type as host

[whole meadow]

Yes !!!

[ornate fern]

Somebody has to know how i can reset my dedicated server password

Edit: ok found it, server settings was in %appdata% / Local / SatisFactory

[thorny shore]

that should work. I host the dedi on the same computer I play on.

[wheat hawk]

I too am hitting issues with my dedicated server. I have it set up in google cloud - the day before update 8 I made sure everything was working and now day after I tried to connect to no avail

I didn't try update 8 experimental with the dedicated server, so not sure if the network system change caused it

[civic lantern]

So the server has not been updated to 8 but your client has?

[wheat hawk]

I ran the update command on the server and then brought it back up

[barren swallow]

Why in the world does a server care about audio?

[civic lantern]

Do you know how to ensure it’s listening and not crashed? The executable name changed as well as its choice of network interface to bind to.

[wheat hawk]

As long as the ports didn't change it shouldn't* be an issue, no?

I can see it's booted

[civic lantern]

It defaults to grabbing ipv6 interfaces. netstat -tan | grep LISTEN

If it’s bound to :: you need to add the option -multihome=0.0.0.0

[wheat hawk]

checking

[civic lantern]

Or disable ipv6 in the operating system and reboot

[wheat hawk]

tcp has 0.0.0.0:* and tcp6 has :::*

[civic lantern]

It shows both? For all 3 udp game ports?

[wheat hawk]

I guess they are all local addresses, just a sec

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.53:53           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN

[civic lantern]

The game ports are 15000, 15777, 7777. If none of those is shown on Netstat the server is not running

The above is the login service listening on port 22

[wheat hawk]

Hmm, I'll stop the service and reconfigure things

[civic lantern]

The executable name changed so your startup script should either be modified or already know about it. Are you using linuxgsm or ?

[wheat hawk]

It's no longer FactoryServer.sh?

[civic lantern]

No, I mean the executable that script calls. Used to have UE4 in the name, the sh should be smart enough try one then the other by now. Where did you get that sh?

[wheat hawk]

direct from the installation

[civic lantern]

I’ve not done bare knuckle. Yet. But that should work

[wheat hawk]

Getting different failures after having stopped the service, at least I've got something to debug now. Thanks :)

Nothing a little rm -rf can't fix

[civic lantern]

Key is to get it listening, if it’s not listening nothing further will work. I personally used linuxgsm just now and it appears to have started fine. Going to start a world and ensure that claim holds out

Yep, top to bottom, installed and in the world in five minutes. Linuxgsm is a wget | bash kind of install. “Sfserver install” “sfserver start” and here I am

Debian 11 machine

[upper ravine]

im stuck on this while trying to join a dedicated server

[civic lantern]

are all 3 server ports forwarded? it negotiates the connection on one and game traffic on another. eventually bails out to menu?

[upper ravine]

?

[deep turret]

is your save file big ?

because very big save files fails to let client connects to it still

[upper ravine]

it was made yesterday

[deep turret]

then may be a port problem as d-fens said

[upper ravine]

what can i do to fix it?

[deep turret]

you can check used port with ss -plnu | grep Unreal as root, on Linux

(you can simply prepend sudo)

[upper ravine]

it worked a couple hours ago

[civic lantern]

there's other questions i could ask. is it on your network, are you connecting to the localnet address, can the person on whose network it is connect to the localnet address

[chilly chasm]

this keeps hapeing to me how do i fix it please

[deep turret]

sounds like your router is not forwarding port correctly anymore then
or you are using the wrong address to connect to it

[deep turret]

there can be a bunch of problems causing this

[chilly chasm]

i can connect after like 5 minuttes itt kicks me out

[civic lantern]

That suggests the server is under powered and it times out during autosave

You might look at the server logs. What are the server specs

[chilly chasm]

ddr4 ram 2400 mhz 32 gigs 500 mb ssd and one m.2 nvme the game is on at 3200 mbs cpu is quad core 3.5 turbos to 3.9 it is a dell r330 emc poweredge i only run the game on it nothing else. windows server 2022 standered

[earnest socket]

Dedicated server from steam or epic games dont work right now?

[chilly chasm]

steam

server stays up alll the time

[earnest socket]

So, I had a logical question when I tried to open the server via steam...I have a hosting where I would like to put the server, but it does not allow me to simultaneously run the server on hosting and Satisfactory on my computer

Steam disables from the game

[dry salmon]

For anyone having timeout issues with their dedicated server, Update 8 now runs on IPv6 by default. I had to add the -multihome=0.0.0.0 option to the command and it connects fine. Hope this helps.

[deep turret]

normally -DisablePacketRouting is enough

[deep turret]

you do not need steam account to run the server, launch it manually after it's installed

[abstract vigil]

Hey guys, just got a server at indifferentbroccoli, and the hypertubes are wookie, you glitch a bunch when entering, if just appear to be stuck at the entrance and eventually you go out (most of the times).
I was wondering if it might be the hostings fault or if it's a know issue with dedicated servers.
I'm running the latests stable (early access) build.

[earnest socket]

Without steam, it doesn't want to start...

More precisely, it does not start manually from the folder

[deep turret]

what do it gives you as error ?

steamcmd usually is working fine and it install even without account

[earnest socket]

i try now trow steamcmd, but console closed after start

any ideas?

[deep turret]

try writing the excution file directly instead of using start
I dont know how start behaves but it usually is not needed

"FactoryServer.exe" -log -unattended```

did you check if you had enough RAM ? it's weird it is closing without showing any error

it should stay alive until you stop it manually

[earnest socket]

same

maybe ram

i think

need to check

[deep turret]

though update 8 is now using way less RAM at the start then the older one
so it should not be a problem

[earnest socket]

no,it have 8-9 gb for server, or it need more?

[deep turret]

it instantly shutdown itself as if you clicked close or something
do you have ctrl+c active shortcut or similar ?

[earnest socket]

It's weird, it crushes, but the process remains

[deep turret]

kill any existing process then

it does not support multiple working process without setting some settings manually

[earnest socket]

OH

Its not crashed

[deep turret]

it looks up and running now

[earnest socket]

i have same on steam and epic games, but i cant connect to server in game

[deep turret]

so that window is still active/alive on your server ?

how are you trying to connect (with what kind of address in server manager ?)
check that the port are open in windows firewall
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers have a powershell script to set it up in one action

[worn void]

Hi guys, my server keeps timing me out... for some reason I can't connect... I am using a linux box

[earnest socket]

I opened them earlier

[deep turret]

add "-DisablePacketRouting" to your starting script settings

[deep turret]

did you use the powershell script or you opened it manually ?

[earnest socket]

manually

[worn void]

😦

Now I dont see it in the console that someone is trying to connect ^

[deep turret]

you must double check it :

• is in "inbound" rules
• is allowing any network to use it
• allowing
• UDP
• for all 3 UDP ports : 15000 15777 7777

[worn void]

"This server appears to be offline"

[deep turret]

did you restarted your server with the new setting ? you responded very fast

you can also restart your client game sometimes the client struggle to reset the connection

[gleaming sleet]

which file do I have to delete to reset the dedicated server to the state as if I just downloaded it?

[worn void]

So its not the script I need to run with the parameter?

[deep turret]

#dedicated-servers message

[earnest socket]

In game server "offline"

[deep turret]

I'm sorry it will takes me sometimes to tanslate it / check this

[gleaming sleet]

this link scrolls me upwards into wall of text and I have no idea what message are you reffering to

[deep turret]

my message :

it's only the server specific stuff, in the server user save/config file there is a ServerSetting.<portnumber> file, just delete it and reset the server```

[earnest socket]

@deep turret
Do I understand correctly that this window is "OK"?
I mean, the server has started

[deep turret]

yes

[worn void]

330s to start?!

[civic lantern]

'sfserver'. did you install linuxgsm? "./sfserver start"

[earnest socket]

What?/

[earnest socket]

Thanks

[worn void]

huh?

'sfserver' is the username

[earnest socket]

It remains to figure out what is wrong with the ports...

[civic lantern]

yes. 'sfserver' is also the user one adds if one is following the linuxgsm installation instructions

https://linuxgsm.com/servers/sfserver/

I just used that this morning and i went from nothing to a working server in 5 minutes

[worn void]

OH SHIT thanks 😄

I just found out

You can use docker!

[deep turret]

that looks ok
but check that other tab :
everything on the top section must be checked,
and below the "allow edge traversal" must be selected

[civic lantern]

now you have 2 problems

[worn void]

I do?

[civic lantern]

sorry, i am very biased against docker. i work with it for my day job and it's such a pain in the ass

it will probably work fine

[worn void]

I love docker 😄

[civic lantern]

i don't know if anyone has published updated docker images for u8

[gleaming sleet]

weir, when I run the server I can find it using 192.0.0.2, but not my IP 213.168.***.***
I checked my router and I am forwarding ports correctly (screen).
altho in game it says NAT?
(Such port forwarding works for other servers of mine, my IP is reachable from outside no problem)

[civic lantern]

it is fine if you can just bash out a line and suddenly have a working server, but that is only 1 of the many things an ops person has to concern themselves with. it's a lovely tool for desktop experiments.

[deep turret]

7777 should be UDP and others too

all UDP for satisfcatory

not TCP nor BOTH

[civic lantern]

put it in backticks

[earnest socket]

it mast be set to "private" in porfiles and allow edge?

[worn void]

hub.docker.com/r/wolveix/satisfactory-server would this work?

[civic lantern]

'Updated 2 months ago' no

[deep turret]

it must be checked for all : private, domain, public
and allow edge too

[worn void]

Yeah but... thats just docker img right?

[gleaming sleet]

well "Both" cant really hurt it, can it.
I changed all the ports to work both and still the same issue

[worn void]

Not the server files?

[civic lantern]

i just got through explaining i dont use docker and what i do use that works

[deep turret]

unless you want your server to be only accessible by only you, but you probably does not want that for playing with friends, and it is also more restrictive

[civic lantern]

i don't know if this image self-updates

[worn void]

Ill try it and let ya know 😄

doesnt hurt to do so

[deep turret]

did you really enabled the rules after fixing the 7777 one ?
did you double check your server machine own the 0.2 address ?

[oblique crag]

is it worth it to rebuild a server with Debian from Arch to be able to run Pterodactyl Panel for Server management?

[civic lantern]

ok. the worst part of docker is trying to debug problems. i just made another linuxgsm dedi server

[worn void]

Hey, if it doesnt work I am defo using your mehtod!!

[gleaming sleet]

it works for other servers (like factorio) running on my PC. Yes, my local IP is ending 0.2

[earnest socket]

I did, but it didn't change anything, the server is also offline

[civic lantern]

what would this do that you find difficult to do now?

[deep turret]

did you restart your client game and tried to readd the server ? did you check your are trying with the server local ip address ?

[deep turret]

why pterodactyl could not run on arch ?

[worn void]

heeey

it is checking for the latest game

[oblique crag]

it would make server management for Satisfactory Easier than having to go in and restart services through command line. Also, would make it easier to manage multiple gaming servers on it.

[oblique crag]

its not a supported OS so it would possibly be a nightmare install and if it didnt work then Im rebuilding anyway. The servers job right now is only to run Satisfactory and network storage.

[gleaming sleet]

can anyone here test if my server is reachable from outside? Ill PM IP

[civic lantern]

i'm an apt kind of guy, so debian is 👍

[mint junco]

TRAINS WITH EMPTY FREIGHT CARS SHOW AS FULL - Experimental: 264901
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/6554eefcd0053b102f18de85

[deep turret]

you can try adding -DisablePacketRouting to your starting script settings
it should be default tbh

[oblique crag]

my main laptop runs arch and i like to keep my environment consistent. I just recently added an OrangePi 5+ to the environment and it runs debian so im already splitting environment lol. I like apt but pacman and yay are so much easier

[deep turret]

is this only on dedicated server game ?

[oblique crag]

can confirm this fixes a lot of issues. Its what resolved the ones I had yesterday

[deep turret]

"PacketRouting" tries to do nasty things

I dont really understand why it's there in the first place

[gleaming sleet]

which file? Or just start parameter inside steam?

[deep turret]

probably trying to work around UnrealEngine game connections probing limitations

[earnest socket]

I restarted the client and added the server to the list - there is no result)
I add the same IP by which I connect to VDS
Another server is running on the same IP

[deep turret]

for the start script argument FactoryServer.exe -DisablePacketRouting for instance

[deep turret]

VDS ? sorry I dont know what is VDS

your server is not a local server ?

[earnest socket]

not local

[deep turret]

did you make sure all the 3 firewall rules have "public" checked ?

[gleaming sleet]

tried, havent helped :(

[deep turret]

some elements are missing then

you can succesfully connect locally ?

I mean loading a game etc

[earnest socket]

yes,i recheck maybe 4-5 times)

[deep turret]

and allow edge traversal too ?

[earnest socket]

Ofc

[worn void]

it worked!

[civic lantern]

marvellous

[worn void]

So freaking easy 😄

[deep turret]

then I dont know, you can try to put port settings manually in your starting script

[worn void]

And I can monitor it with my home-assistant 😄

[earnest socket]

Can I try a port from another game that I definitely had on the same hosting and worked?

does it make sense?

[worn void]

Did you check if your port is actually open?

www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

Just write the port and check, it will say yes or no

[deep turret]

"FactoryServer.exe" -DisablePacketRouting -Port=7777 -QueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 -log -unattended

you can try that

[deep turret]

that kind of tools are not usefull for UDP ports

only TCP

[worn void]

Sry didnt know

[deep turret]

np

UDP and TCP are really 2 different things, that's why when you know which one to open it's not recomended to open for both

[deep turret]

you could try that after, also make sure the server is completly down before trying to relaunch it with new settings

[worn void]

Could I use ngnix for the dns?

[hushed sorrel]

Do you guys have a dedicated server provider you recommend?
me and my friends are planning a play through

[earnest socket]

no,doent help

[deep turret]

what do you mean ? nginx is not a dns service, although you can run TCP tunneling through it

[earnest socket]

it must be like that?

red icon

[worn void]

Cloudflared tunnels?

[twilit fox]

I believe those are only for tcp

[worn void]

Also by ngnix i meant ngnix proxy manager

[deep turret]

that red icon is always like that, it's warning experimental feature

[gleaming sleet]

okay so even when I tell my router to route ALL external packets directly into my PC I still cant see the server on my public IP, and can see it on my local IP.
Meanwhile factorio server is happily accepting connections on the same machine from all over the world. What gives?

[twilit fox]

For factory port forwarding as long as 15777 inbound is open clients shouldn't have any problem connecting

[deep turret]

I dont know ngnix proxy manager ?
isnt it nginx instead ?

[twilit fox]

Nginx is a proxy server yeah

[deep turret]

try with -multihome=0.0.0.0 then, it's a boring bug if it works like this

I dont know what CSS or EpicGames did to the network stack of the game

but it probably skips a lot of network checks and mechanisms

[gleaming sleet]

im using steam, and if I can find it in local ipv4 adress, would multihome really help? I understand its to force ipv4 bindings as apart to default ipv6

[worn void]

Okay I proxied it no clue if it works

[earnest socket]

in the game, he instantly shows that the server is offline, as if he is not even trying to ping it. I don't understand at all

[deep turret]

beause past experiments have shown in some cases it was still trying to do weird things with ipv6 even when -DisabledPacketRouting was on, when people try to connect from public addresses (external connections)

[deep turret]

did you restart the game and retried after re launching the server with the settings I showed you ?

[deep turret]

proxied what, what even are you trying to achieve

nginx is a http service

[worn void]

nvm it didnt work, I am trying to use my domain as ip

[earnest socket]

Yes, of course, several times. I tried to turn on the server and immediately be in the game, and started outside the game, went in, then added the server and the result is the same

[deep turret]

then you need to have a dns address binded to your ip

[gleaming sleet]

Still can connect from local but not from external ....

[twilit fox]

Isn't multihome 0,0,0,0?

[deep turret]

can other people successfully connect ?because maybe your router simply does not support you connecting through your own public ip from your local network

[gleaming sleet]

doesnt matter really, 0.0.0.0 will bind it to ALL adapters, I know that what I am binding it to is correct

[gleaming sleet]

tested it, random person cannot connect

[deep turret]

then your forwarding rules are not active

double check your router working, maybe even restarting Idk, but it would not be the first time a router do shit

[twilit fox]

Actually..

What kind of modem do you have?

[gleaming sleet]

my factorio server is happily accepting connections from all over the world.

[twilit fox]

You said factrio worked, so I'd that's the case it shouldn't be your modem/ router blocking you. But I don't know how factorio does multi-player

[deep turret]

I mean sometimes the rules does not register correctly until a router restart

[gleaming sleet]

Over many years I have tested multiple times with many programs that I am reachable from external IPs.
My NAS is publicly accessible too (I know, I know) and I can connect to it from anywhere

[deep turret]

so if you just added your factorio rule the same way it's valid
but if it was there from long time ago then maybe the router is not registering correctly

[gleaming sleet]

ill restart router

restarted router, still the same

[deep turret]

double check you do not have multiple instances running
maybe put port settings manually so you make sure it match the one you forwarded
and then try with some friend because at this point I don't know what's going on
did you opened firewall ports too ? are you on windows or Linux

because firewall default to allow local network but not remote network

[gleaming sleet]

windows, firewall off, the same port is used for checking local and external IPs, so since its able to see it at 192... it should see it at 213... tooo

[frosty gale]

I've looked around and didn't see a specific solve for my problem. I am using a dedicated server through Nitrado. I updated it to update 8, everything went pretty smooth, but after it was completed and I logged in I was assigned a new character profile. When I look at the save in the interactive map, I see the host profile is still there and has my steam id listed in the "Main object" tab under advanced debug, where the new guest profile I am logging in to doesn't have a steam id assigned to it at all. Anyone have any idea how I would fix this?

[earnest socket]

What is the default password put on the server? or where can I watch it?

[deep turret]

there are none, you set password at first connection setup

[civic lantern]

just to be clear your test 'using local ip' is to 192.168.0.2
do the colons delineate a range? i wonder if the fact you have two rules matching port 15777 matter? change to only one rule 7777:15777

[civic lantern]

your steam client is perhaps not online

or needs to restarted

[deep turret]

you mean a single 15000:16000
7777:15777 is needlessly wide

but good point

[frosty gale]

I just deleted the new guest profile it created for me in the interactive map. I varified game files in steam. I then restarted Steam and made sure I was signed in. Upon loading the new modified save and logging in it just generated a new profile. Do you know what "eosId" is in reference to? That's what the guest profile has instead of a steam id. I do not have the game connected to an epic account.

[civic lantern]

epic online services. I don't undertand the way it is involved in figuring out your identity

[deep turret]

the epic id is used as session id in the save, so the user can find its character in the game when they reconnect

but it's a client thing

the server simply registers it from connecting clients

[deep turret]

server does not use any account

[earnest socket]

[frosty gale]

How very odd, I don't even have epic installed on this computer, and I've never had it connected to satisfactory.

[oblique crag]

as @deep turret suggested before, did you add '-DisablePacketRouting' to the start?

[earnest socket]

yes,it help

[civic lantern]

the use of the "eos" in the identifier just means that when they first wrote this, that is the label they used. it is perhaps the case they put the steam or epic identifier in there.

i'll have to look at what i get for my savegame

[sinful anchor]

Running a dedicated server on Debian 11, stuck in a crash loop I'm unable to figure out. all clean install

satisfactory.err complains about "Project file not found: /home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryGame/FactoryGame.uproject"

[civic lantern]

this looks like trouble loading the map file, as if it were damaged

the map is in ~/.config/

so if you just 'rm *' you wont' delete it

[sinful anchor]

should i remove .confg/Epic/... then reinstall?

[civic lantern]

just restart the server, should do

[pastel parcel]

Hello All!

i'm struggling now for 2 days and i changed a lot of settings on the server but nothing helps.
Hopefully somebody here has some advise.

Yesterday i have updated my local dedicated server and now i will constantly get a time out during saving.

What i already have done:

• start the server with -DisablePacketRouting and -multihome command
• change the parameters ConnectionTimeout&InitialConnectTimeout in Engine.ini (on the server and my computer)
• install the server on docker (same result)
• install the server on Debian 12 (same result)

[sinful anchor]

by restart the server you mean literally restart it or reinstall it? because its in a constant restart loop at the moment

[civic lantern]

can you reconnect not long after this failure?

is the server reasonably powerful?

this looks like default timeouts.

how big is the map?

[civic lantern]

then just deleting .config/Epic it should successfully start next time thru the loop

[deep turret]

please advise them to backup the files first

or they will completly nukes any save they have in there

[sinful anchor]

im not worried about my save, i'd just like the server to actually run for more than 20 seconds without restarting

as soon as i select to start a map from the server manager in the game client the server crashes

[mossy skiff]

Sadly, update 8 server utility won't let me connect. Fresh server install on linux. Won't even let me claim ownership of the server when connecting because it simply won't connect. Any suggestions.

Same rig has been hosting update 7 just fine. Nothing about my setup has changed other than moving to the update 8 server tool.

[deep turret]

add -multihome=0.0.0.0 to start of starting script arguments

Update 8 tries to manage network in weird ways with "packet routing" and ipv6

[mossy skiff]

Ok, will try, thanks!

[sinful anchor]

problem persists, the server stays up as long as i dont tell it to host a map. as soon as i tell it to start a game in a given map location everything comes crashing down

[civic lantern]

makes me wonder if it attempts to write a file and can't

everything is running as your usual linux user?

[thorny shore]

I don't think so. I had the same problem and had to switch back to the 'experimental' branch of the dedi server.

well, not the same but similar

ish

[sinful anchor]

its under the steam user, which i was using with update 7 no problem

this is my log immediatly after selecting to start a map

[mossy skiff]

Just saw the note in the wiki too - yes, that let me authenticate with the server. Thanks for the RTFM help. 🙂

[deep turret]

about the -multihome=0.0.0.0 ?

[mossy skiff]

Yep

[deep turret]

ok nice ! happy it works for you

[civic lantern]

oh ffs

linuxgsm.com/servers/sfserver/ is what has worked for me. 4 commands to working server on deb 11

[sinful anchor]

ok ill give that a shot

[civic lantern]

suggest following their advice to have the server in its own 'sfserver' user so you are certain everything's clean

[toxic aspen]

hey guys i noticed with update 8 that my NAT is Moderate, does this influence in anyway my connection or is it oaky for it to stay moderate

[thorny dew]

Only if you're hosting

[grim mica]

NAT state has basically nothing to do with dedicated

[thorny shore]

Mine is moderate most of the time, I'm not sure what 'moderate' conveys too, though.

[thorny dew]

If you're running a dedicated server, you probably just want to port forward and you'll be fine

NAT restrictions won't affect anything if you're just running as a client

[civic lantern]

i deal with networking all day long, and i have no clue what 'nat severity' is supposed to mean

[grim mica]

With regards to dedicated.. that is true but connecting to others may present a problem with normal multiplayer

[thorny dew]

Prob whether the game can try hole punching, UPNP forwarding, etc.

[pastel parcel]

i can directy reconnect to the server.

I run the dedicated server on a unraid server with an Xean E3-1270 V5 CPU and 47Gb of RAM.

The savegame is almost 14MB , i don't know if this a big savegame for an satisfactory game ?

[grim mica]

Then you know what NAT means.. how uPnP works and how clients connect to remote peers using ports.. pretty straightforward once you know what the different NAT types actually mean

[civic lantern]

i guess nat w/o UPNP might be termed mildly severe

[thorny dew]

Yep

[thorny shore]

Yeah, I have 15000 forwarded. No problems with my peeps connecting.

[thorny dew]

NAT w/o UPNP is great for security, but not so great for games 😂

[grim mica]

That would be Strict.. vs Moderate vs Open

[civic lantern]

14mb is not small

[thorny dew]

I would take a guess and say that Open means direct port access, like having a dedicated IP on your machine. Moderate is for NAT with UPnP, and Strict means no UPnP?

Or at least the app couldn't negotiate with the router for upnp

[civic lantern]

this is a 12 year old CPU, so i'm not surprised it takes more than 30 seconds to save. if you successfully increase the timeouts from 30s this issue might "go away"

[thorny shore]

My router supports upnp, but I still do the port forwarding. I bet open would be if I properly forwarded all three ports 🤣

[thorny shore]

14MB is friggin' tiny

[thorny dew]

Yeah it could also be just how many of the ports the game can bind to

[sinful anchor]

problem still persists, even in the new user / clean install

[pastel parcel]

i still got my other computer left with an I7 8700K . will this make sensen ?

[thorny dew]

8700k is perfect

[pastel parcel]

sense

[thorny dew]

Slap 32GB RAM and whatever small SSD you've got

But tbh the e3 should be fine

[civic lantern]

exact same crash as the last 3. that's annoying

[thorny shore]

fair.

[thorny dew]

Idk, never really read the docs

[thorny dew]

Usually NAT severity is something like this though

Considering it's in UE, you could probably just look it up there

As long as the game is using the built in networking code as its base

[pastel parcel]

Super thnx.

i will directly install Debian on it and will keep you updated

[grim mica]

Open is that the ports are available externally and forwarded, whether through uPNP or normal NAT/ACL the client doesnt know since that happens at a layer above. Moderate usually means the router/firewall is doing static source port for egress packets. Strict means no inbound connectivity at all and the source ports are being randomized for outbound connections.

[grim mica]

Is this a VM?

[sinful anchor]

yes

[grim mica]

Dont say on Proxmox..?

[sinful anchor]

freenas

err truenas

[thorny dew]

Sounds about right 👍

[grim mica]

Which hypervisor are you using then cause that supports multiple

In any case, look for anything in regards to CPU emulation and make sure the hypervisor is passing the full CPU through and not something else. Users that run Proxmox have to set the cpu type to 'host' in the VM config to get U8 working due to some engine changes that seem to be looking for certain extensions/capabilities on CPUs

[sinful anchor]

interesting, ok ill try that

[grim mica]

Can you post the full factorygame.log? That will tell what CPU is being passed, or the crashcontext.xml that goes along with that crash

Just keep in mind it will have your external IP in it if you are connecting that way. If you want to DM it instead or sanitize (replace in notepad) it before sending here

[pastel parcel]

With update 7 it was already a challenge to get the server running without time out errors

[pastel parcel]

Thnx! with the new server it works ! till now 🙂

[frosty gale]

Hey, uhm so is it intended that trucks on dedicated servers never drive but will always just teleport to the next node?

[dreamy nexus]

Wow... yeah... not sure if something happened in the last week or two but I'm having a really hard time connecting like some ppl have said to my dedicated server. I've got -multihome=0.0.0.0 set but it's rough to get on if at all. I'm getting the timed out error a lot and a ton of rubber banding. I'm running on a Debian VM hosted off a VMWare ESXi server.

World save is 13Mb, so it's not a small world. I've also been trying to up the save time from 5m to something more manageable but so far any modifications I make are just ignored.

[lilac juniper]

We are having issues with automated server restarts.
The players are loosing progress. Is there a save command we can automate before each reboot?

[odd wing]

hey guys, I'm trying to host a server, but when I try to start it with root privs, it says "Refusing to run with the root privileges.", so then I try to run it without them and it wont start because it has no privs and it wants to create new folders and says Permission denied everywhere

[frosty gale]

This is an example of what I mean

[desert walrus]

Oh that's very nice

[desert walrus]

Have you read the guide on the wiki? The page is a little outdated for some stuff, but the instructions for installation aren't.

[tranquil flicker]

I use epic, and the included cmd window. I control setting via in game menu

[frosty gale]

Anyone know if this is normal behaviour for a dedicated server?

[thorny dew]

Make sure the user that is running the server also owns privileges to the folder

Generally the server only creates files in within the base directory

[tranquil flicker]

So I'm seeing a lot of -disablepacketrouting & -multihome=0.0.0.0 to fix a lot of current issues. Should I use both? Do I have to enter octets of my outside ip, or does that stay as 0.s?

[rancid ether]

Official Satisfactory Wiki

This is the totally awesome community driven wiki for Satisfactory!! Come on in and check it out!
<3 @thorny shore

[thorny shore]

By the Wiki, -multihome automatically engages -disablepacketrouting, no need to specify both.

[civic lantern]

0's

[thorny shore]

or you can use your local ip address.

[tranquil flicker]

127.0 local or router local? Sorry just want to be 100% clear when I try to fix my server after work.

[thorny shore]

or 192.168.*

Apprently it doesn't really matter.

[wide elm]

I'm currently running an Experimental Server. Is there a point to now going to an Early Release server or is the "just released v8 on Early Release" the same as the last release on Experimental?

[thorny shore]

same, and I've not had any luck using the EA branch of the server. I had to go back to using the experimental branch. YMMV

for some reason I'm getting insanely high ping to my dedicated server.

[wide elm]

Okay. Thanks @thorny shore , I'll just keep using my existing Experimental server as it's served me fine the past months :).

[thorny shore]

might have something to do with all the downloads going on, now that I think about it.

[wide elm]

Could be, that does sound logical.

Then again, they also changed the network functionality, so who knows.

[thorny shore]

but still, dedi is on the same 'puter I'm playing from. 45ms is still kinda high.

[wide elm]

On the same computer is quite high, agreed.

[sinful anchor]

I remade my vm, with different cpu options and now everything seems to be working... thank so much

[unborn wave]

What did you have to change? I'm getting this crash

i need to ask my server provider questions i guess, but would like a good starting point

[sinful anchor]

I’m running on a truenas host, I changed my cpu option from ‘custom’ to host passthrough or the other host option. I had to reinstall my vm os, before the reinstall I was getting weird seg faults and random shutdowns

[unborn wave]

ah wow, ok

thanks

ugh

[pastel parcel]

The server now is running well thnx for that!

only 1 question is the command FG.AutosaveInterval xxx still working? because when i want to change the interval of the server he will give an error message "Command not recognized"

[grim mica]

Search for autosaveinterval in here, I have posted a few times on how to fix that

They were all moved to the config files basically, mFloatValues for interval

[civic lantern]

what a maddening problem

[golden idol]

What should I do to handle players who log off and then on login get duplicated? Is this a misconfiguration? They've told me they can't do anything, one of them's body is stuck in a vehicle, can't get loot, etc.

I opened the save in https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map and see I could delete them, but I'd prefer to keep their loot, and I'd also prefer to not repeat this.

afaict there's no known reason and no immediate fix

wonderful... what a time consuming bug

[civic lantern]

there is a reason, which is that the player's identity (steam # or epic #) is not discovered (or remembered??) when the game starts.

if your players are playing on pirated copies, well, that would be why

ther'es other reasons that have nothing to do with piracy, all coming down to internet be flaky

it would make sense to remember your last ID if it can't find your current one, but.. no

it is also possible one is offline in steam

[golden idol]

Interesting. It's all legit Steam users having the issue. None of them are losing connection, just simply rejoining hours later.

Operating in a k3s cluster, ports are wide open as needed, zero issues I can foresee to lead to that information being lost.

[deep turret]

upnp is horrible for security

[deep turret]

it has to do with how it read opening match and rules
strict is full set nat
this different behaviors are also known as the "cone" of the nat

[thorny dew]

Yup.

[green tartan]

you're a lifesaver :^)

[opaque drift]

does anyone have a dedicated server on an late game save that runs smoothly? my current server/gamesave ran great with 3-5 people up until tier 8 and it became unplayable. now that the new update is out we decided to try again but its just nonstop crashes in hypertubes, which are pretty essential to playing the game.

server is i3 10100f @ 4.2GHz, 48GB ddr4 @3200, running on a 980 evo ssd. i know the processor isnt great but the game doesnt really fully utilize it anyway.

[desert walrus]

That cpu is massively underspecced for your workload

[hasty crescent]

Is there a hardware recommendation page for launching the game (offline or online)? (RAM, Graphics card, CPU)

[desert walrus]

Steam for the game client, wiki for the dedicated server

[opaque drift]

i understand its not the strongest/fastest but task manager doesnt show that it is really being utilized much with alot of headroom left. ill try running the server on my gaming rig with a 14900k and see if there is any improvement

just wondering if anyone in here had good results on any hardware with a dedicated server on a late game save because from what i found online/reddit most people have issues regardless.

i understand dedicated servers are not really fleshed out yet

[desert walrus]

I've played to late game on a dedi with very good results, but that wasn't on u8

[desert walrus]

That's true. Hypertubes have issues no matter what you do, but the overall performance should be a lot better on a different cpu

[grim mica]

Satisfactory is very reliant on a fast single thread

[deep turret]

the most important hardware for running the server is cpu, you seing it is not fully used is because you are looking at cpu package load, the game does not use all the thread, it max out one thread, so on a 24thread cpu for instance it is using 7-10% maximum yet is bottlenecked on the cpu

[grim mica]

You wont see high CPU utilization across multiple cores and that CPU is honestly better than others ive seen around here.. like Xeons running this on dedicated is going to suck

[opaque drift]

Even looking at the individual graphs for each thread the one that the server must be using is only like 30-40%. I’m setting it up on my 14900k now will report back if it’s any better. I’m sure it will run better but doubt it’s going to fix the hypertube cannon issues

[grim mica]

Hypertubes are just known to have issues on dedicated servers atm, I would just avoid them as you get really unpredictable results.. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt and catastrophically so

[deep turret]

execpt these xeon have lot of cache bandwidth and satisfactory loves cache

[opaque drift]

It’s a shame cuz it’s a pain to get around late game without the cannons

[desert walrus]

Honestly if I were configuring a new dedi machine right now and had the budget, it'd get a 5800x3d

[grim mica]

Right but a 24c Xeon @ 2.0Ghz vs a 4c i3 @ 4.4Ghz is going to be a night and day difference in single threaded performance

[desert walrus]

The x3d chips perform so insanely well in this

[deep turret]

7800x3d should even better

[grim mica]

Cache isnt going to make up for that much of a difference

[desert walrus]

I would expect so

[royal quail]

the glitch we are experiencing is looking like we are riding outside the hyper tube and hitting the side making a thump noise

[deep turret]

depends what i3

[opaque drift]

I like to think the newer i3s can still hang 🤷‍♂️

[deep turret]

the thump noise is you getting sucked back into hypertubes
because the server know you are in, but the client show you out

[royal quail]

well i wish they would fix it ... its headache enducing. I ha ve had to stop playing because I needed to do a lot of tube travel and it enduced a migrane >.<

[grim mica]

Dont think ive seen that specifically.. but have gotten telported to a hypertube across the map which reuslts usually results in a client disconnect. Sometimes I just get stuck in the hypertube and cant move at all, have to rejoin. With cannons sometimes I get stuck in the middle of the cannon but can spam crouch and jump (sometimes dismantle) to get out of it, other times it all works fine. It seems to depend on when it was used last and where the pawn went after usage, if I stay local to the hypertube (few hundred meters) I have less issues than if I take it to fly across the map and try to use it again after using resources and coming back for more though I need to science that a bit more to prove that is related.

[grim mica]

How large is the save file? Not a perfect indicator on amount of objects but a reasonable indicator. Another is the time it takes to save as well, in the factorygame.log it will show the duration of the save cycle. That is tied directly to single core performance as well. Is the server able to maintain a 30 tickrate or is it dropping into the single digits?

[opaque drift]

6.5 MB

[grim mica]

Thats not too big.. hmm

What is happening that is making it 'unplayable'?

[opaque drift]

hypertube issues. which are a pretty essential part of our save

[grim mica]

Oh okay

Yeah thats unlikely to be tied to performance

[opaque drift]

i figured. its a shame, they should just let you adjust the speed of tubes instead of having to make cannons

[grim mica]

If only we could get mod support on DS.. could fix (workaround really) it ourselves!

[unique nacelle]

I have the same problem (with tractors)

[wheat hawk]

Seeing this error in the logs on linux - I probably shouldn't but I'm tempted to run the server with sudo: LogStreaming: Warning: Failed to read file '/home/steam/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/ServerSettings.15777' error.

[thorny shore]

You can also just move them.

[wheat hawk]

this is all I needed, even functioning netstat doesn't show those ports. thanks :)

[opaque drift]

same issues with my dedicated server on the 14900k. crashes almost everytime in hyper tubes. im sure it would play fine without the hypertubes but thats not a realistic option for us to run around the map 24/7.

[vague latch]

Hey, I'm having an issue of my server appearing offline to my friends, I've port forwarded the three ports to my computers ipv4 address, yet the server still appears offline to them no matter the ip i give them. Does anyone know why?

[opaque drift]

is your windows firewall off?

[vague latch]

yeah ive made sure to open the firewall to the ports aswell, and they are udp

[dreamy sorrel]

I have twice now in <24 hours logged in to my server to find I am susceptible to the login-session bug (despite waiting for the session authentication in the bottom left to validate before loading, and restarting after first game load after update), and I can't just "find my old body, kill it, and get my stuff back" as my old body disappeared from existence. Pictured below are, the northwest most player: my friend who i play with, the southeast most player: my new body with nothing in my inventory, and a distinct lack of a third body for me to go kill to reclaim my items

i'm losing valuable (at my point in the game) resources and expensive high-ticket items repeatedly

and i don't know how to solve the issue

this time, I lost 2 hard drives in addition to my full compliment of my normal-loadout inventory and gear.

a backup of the map from ~ 2 hours ago, before i logged in for the first time this afternoon, on my 2 player server, showing a distinct lack of a second player

based on savedata (every 15min for 24 hours), it looks like the timing of the issue is immediately upon logging out my character data gets erased from the map

I logged off right after 5AM this morning, and the last save that has my playerdata is from 5:04 AM

5:09 AM I am missing (and i'm unsure why it had a 5min gap vice 15, I might have it set to save on disconnect, and I may have logged out at 5:09?)

interesting. When attempting to open the server settings from the server manager menu it says "you need to be authenticated to view this page" even though in the bottom left it says I am authenticated already

[oak sigil]

Does anybody know how to get a dedicated server to end game without locking up due to lag?
Trains are a nightmare, drones are sketchy AF.
And the last server simply got to a point where it would not run anymore.
Belts to a minimum and using mass transit?

Is it possible to get transport running that won't braek due to desync?

[rugged hamlet]

how do i make my friend join the server?

i'm hosting dedicated server

[calm stone]

Sorry to bother everyone but I am getting an error when starting my dedicated server today after I updated it. Not sure how much of a log you would need to see but here...

Have you tried deleting the server folder and reinstalling it

[calm stone]

No I have not I can do that though.

Well that fixed it thanks @opaque drift

Hello. On my server if i drive or go inside hyper tubes i get kicked and it says i had a connection error. This has only happened with update 8 .

[frosty gale]

Why can i not post screenshots?

There we go

[zealous stratus]

Hi all. Sorry if this question has been answered. Tried doing a search, but maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing. -- I just downloaded the Epic dedicated server tool, installed, and ran it. I am able to see the server using the server manager, but it's asking me to authenticate. I tried to use the password in the log file, but that doesn't seem to work. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

(It's not asking me to create any new game or claim the server, just asking me to authenticate)

[chilly chasm]

-multihome=0.0.0.0 where do i put this at?

[zealous stratus]

For anyone else with the above problem -- Deleting the C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\ServerSettings.15777 file and restarting seems to have allowed me to fix the issue.

[thorny shore]

Linux or Windows?

[chilly chasm]

windows server 2022

[thorny shore]

at the end of the command and any other switches.

[chilly chasm]

ok

is this correct?

[chilly chasm]

i keep gettting kicked any help

[frosty gale]

ANother of the same error

Hope coffe stain can fix this, it's driving my OCD nuts

[grim mica]

The multihome goes with the log and unattended switches

[rugged hamlet]

my friend cannot join my linux dedicated server from outside my network. I have real ip.

I am having similar issues, can't even connect while VPN into my server's network 😦

[cursive zenith]

Having some really bad session issues, every 3 or so times I relog into the server I get an entirely new character (running Early Access/Stable now that it's out)

that and riding cars/vehicles (trains excluded) results in a "Connection Lost" after a minute or so (pretty consistently) which causes the player to get stuck in the vehicle (reconnecting/logging in gives you a new character), requiring save editor to fix as Snutt posted in a youtube video

[gleaming sleet]

First server is using my public IP
Second server is using my local IP
Firewall is off, router is using DMZ to route everything to my PC, I have public IP (tested over many years many times with many programs).

You can see in video it actually pings the server, resolves it "Game ongoing", and then fails resolving the details.. What?

Screenshot of server when I launch game and open server browser with only Public IP server added.

Screenshot of server when I launch the game and open server browser with only Local IP server added (connection succeeds)

tried -DisablePacketRouting, tried -⁠multihome=192.168.0.2, tried -⁠multihome=0.0.0.0

with multihome it looks like this:

(192.168.0.1 is my router, so when its accepting connection from that IP it means the packets actually came in from the outside)

[blazing cape]

Hello, i would like to ask if anybody have any experience on running dedicated server on lenovo thinkcentre? I want to buy one and try to host SF server on it but i am unsure about which CPU should i pick. I know on the dedicated server wiki is written i5-3570. And that is like minimal or recomended? i was thinking about I5-6500T but i am not sure if it will run smoothly

[deep turret]

that's not how it works

[bronze vector]

Hello, my friend recently set up a dedicated satisfactory server, and can join and play on the serverhimeself. However, whenever i try to join it says Server name pending. I have asked this question in a different section before i was kindly directed here towards the experts. From my understanding, my friend must make the server 'multihome' and give me a public ip. I have looked up a few ways to solve these issues and found almost zero cohesive or understandable answers. Can someone help with this issue?
here is the thread of our problem:https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1174680397624381491****

[deep turret]

tbh even : it absolutly can not work that way, if your router is really doing that, then your router is completly faulty

[gleaming sleet]

and how does it work, then? @deep turret

[deep turret]

you did say that you can't connect from outside right ?

[gleaming sleet]

ye

[deep turret]

so it does not work

[gleaming sleet]

ah, right, thanks

[deep turret]

your router should send the packet to the server as it is coming from outside

it should not come as being sent from the router

[gleaming sleet]

I pressume yoiu mean client

client is sending connection requests to public IP

so first it goes out, and then comes back

[deep turret]

if when you really connect from outside it does that then router is faulty

your router is badly handling hairpining

which means you can not really test external connection yourself unless you connect literally from outside (using mobile phone connection sharing for instance)

[earnest socket]

one player stack in infinity load,after connect server, what we can do?
