dedicated-servers

[empty panther]

I'm having no issues with the server shutting down if the "claimer" leaves

[gaunt tiger]

Ah gotcha. Because Im dumb?

[frosty gale]

Anyone having issues with connections?
We can't connect on dedicated server. (API Server)
No firewall is active,
server runs on local network.
Server is running inside docker network mode is set to host

[gaunt tiger]

Trying to figure it all out myself.

[wide lynx]

yes

[gaunt tiger]

I want to be like you.. 😦

[tender magnet]

anyone running into this ??

[latent night]

Same

[digital bobcat]

Hi all, I seem to remember that the DS ports were gonna be changed in 1.0. Have they changed or still the same? Thanks!

[deep turret]

#dedicated-servers ? no experiment

[grand cargo]

I'm trying to setup a Dedicated Server for me and a couple buddies to play on.

So far, I've gone through and installed the Steam Dedicated Server app, Port Forwarded 7777 on my router, and double checked my IP address is pingable from their location. I can use the Server Manager to join just fine, but they see the Server listed as offline.

[mellow hemlock]

describe your hosting method please

[civic lantern]

tcp 7777

[dense mesa]

Indeed. Server is reporting "Connection accepted" as well.

[atomic venture]

Able to connect via LAN, no external connections working.
Windows 10 using Steam CMD.
Private Password Set for Session.
Verified 7777 set for both UDP and TCP for port forwarding.
IPV6 enabled on host, not router.
Firewall settings also confirmed.
Any further suggestions outside of MultiHome configurations?

[runic zinc]

did you also make sure to allow the ports on your firewall

[wheat pewter]

Is the app ID for the 1.0 dedicated server still 1690800?

[tender magnet]

Yes, same here

[empty panther]

./FactoryServer.sh -Port=<port>

[digital bobcat]

Thanks. Only 7777 now? So I can close the other two?

[worldly urchin]

I'm running a dedicated server through LinuxGSM, after the latest update I cannot start the server.
"[ .... ] Starting sfserver: ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/sfserver/serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Server-Linux-Shipping': File exists
[ FAIL ] Starting sfserver: executable was not found

• /home/sfserver/serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping"

Anyone else having a similar problem ?
I've tried validating files but to no avail

[deep turret]

your firewall ?

[safe haven]

Yup, no change.

[civic lantern]

yes, unchanged

[wheat pewter]

Thanks!

[hazy token]

https://github.com/pelican-eggs/games-steamcmd/tree/main/satisfactory

[atomic venture]

Just added that bit, also confirmed firewall yes.

[autumn mist]

Ok- identified a workaround that might help some folks. If you're using -multihome, satisfactory is not binds only to localhost:7777 (if you run lsof | grep 7777, you'll see a lot of ... TCP localhost:7777 (LISTEN)

[grand cargo]

Currently, it shows Satisfactory as having Private and Public access.

[solid iron]

Remove the multihome=.... from the Startup command. I'm also running it with no issues

[runic zinc]

God this dedi launch is a mess

[sturdy gust]

Multihome completely breaks it

[hazy token]

I have no issues too

[runic zinc]

Advise anyone first time setting up a dedicated server to just come back in a week while everyone figures out the fringe cases honestly.

[sturdy gust]

Honestly, just play multiplayer for now without a server, or play singleplayer

[solid iron]

Yes, absolutely, steam/epic connetion works like a charm in the meantime

[runic zinc]

That^

[shut pulsar]

what if another game currently uses 7777, will that effect my other servers that are running on that port?

[autumn mist]

Good to know. It seems to be working better than it was at least- before it got badly tripped up if IPv6 was enabled. I can actually connect to the server now.

[civic lantern]

you should be able to connect via a browser to the WAN IP:7777 and get a certificate failure. otherwise your server is not accepting traffic from the gateway, and you might check any firewall settings on the server. i don't have internal firewalls behind my gateway

[solid iron]

Yo ucannot bind two things on the same port

[hazy token]

agree

[wide lynx]

yes, i think. try 7778 or something idk

[tender magnet]

Are you using the multihome command ?

[dense mesa]

Just removed it and reset. That fixed it.

[plush cedar]

complete noob here : someone has a good tutorial on how to install a dedicated server on linux (what distro ?) ?

[shut pulsar]

thats what i thought but no way to change satisfactorys default port as commands arent doing it

[tender magnet]

same here. Got it up and running. Thank you all

[hazy token]

what you can do currently is basically pay server hosting for satisfactory while everyone make documentation and all of this thing gets updated properly

[solid iron]

the -Port flag should do it, no ?

[shut pulsar]

not atm

[solid iron]

Haven't changed mine but there is a flag, so ~

[civic lantern]

ipv6 is required to be enabled in the operatring system of the server in order for it to bind to the right address

[solid iron]

Oh ...

[civic lantern]

is that option case sensitive? try -port

[safe haven]

I sent a DM to offer help, but I have a feeling it'll have been swallowed eternally under message requests if I don't mention having done it. 😛

[solid iron]

I believe it is, yes

[civic lantern]

i know for a fact -port works

[empty panther]

It does for me

[solid iron]

Maybe it's not case sensitive then 😛

[empty panther]

With a capital P, I should mention

[solid iron]

Using P too

[civic lantern]

do you know for a fact -Port works?

[vestal yarrow]

HI there. Is there a list of good server hosts where I can buy a server? Or any suggestion is fine!

[empty panther]

I do

[hazy token]

for anyone having issues with low frame rate / fps, I recommend you to put network quality to 3 both on your client and server (you need to execute the FG.NetworkQuality 3 in your server console in the game)

[solid iron]

I do

[stuck ruin]

is gamehostbros.com a good site for hosting a game?

[frosty gale]

it doesnt just for whatever reason when the owner leaves it stops responding correctly

[civic lantern]

so yeah, those should work. if this is linux, lsof -ni | grep LISTEN shows what's listening to what ports.

[safe haven]

Does the GUI option on the server itself not work?

[blazing hatch]

NOTE

epic games down

[tropic void]

Are you playing and hosting on the same machine?

[civic lantern]

and most importantly, which interfaces

[peak wedge]

@sturdy gust sadly the workaround does not work for me.

[hazy token]

the server settings just resets to default when I restart so I use the console command

[peak wedge]

IPv6 is enabled, but still only running on the LAN

[latent night]

Are you supposed to bash the sh game server file or is it something else?

[pastel mirage]

Guys, where to rent a server?

[opal owl]

@sturdy gust that didn't seem to fix mine. would the log tell you anything?

[tropic void]

bash it or run as a service, either way

[reef glade]

indifferent broccoli is solid

[crisp umbra]

hey guys, I got the server to run on my local machine and people can connect, but it gets stuck trying to prepare a new game. any ideas what I can do to fix it?

[peak wedge]

Guess I'm stuck waiting for CSS

[shut pulsar]

so removing the query port and the beacon port seems to fix it. Just getting the failed to connect to server api error now but it shows server is idle

[solid iron]

There's plenty of options, google around for the best / closest to you

[tropic void]

I'm talking from a native perspective btw

[untold finch]

I left.. server stayed up.. remote ppl stayed connected.. otoh, my epic launcher crashed hard when selecting 'exit to desktop' and I had to relaunch it and sign in again, which took a while, because it felt like epic thought I was signed in already.. anyways.. I reconnected just fine, and the server players didn't notice any issues while I was gone.

[hazy token]

did you create a new save or load an old one?

[crisp umbra]

created a new save

[hazy token]

oh well

[tacit oak]

dont the github workaround, using docker and still not working

[civic lantern]

i didn't realize the presence of unrecognized options causes crashes, that's annoying

[crisp umbra]

oh wait looks like it finished now... guess it just takes a while...

[empty panther]

I'd like to note that I need the port open on both UDP and TCP to be able to connect

[atomic venture]

Other Dedicated Servers running on the same system work just fine.

[solid iron]

Wait, it does ? I have the old commandline and it works on Debian

[peak wedge]

Same. It's really hit or miss. Gotta wait for an official fix.

[pastel mirage]

I know I just wanted some recommendations from people who already have server. I used Nitrado before, I am looking for something better now.

[shut pulsar]

at least its simplified now for running multiple servers lol

[pastel mirage]

I will check that out, thanks

[tender pollen]

Can anyone ping me a guide on how to setup a dedicated server? We don't actually want one but we are having trouble playing with steam and epic, steam to steam is fine. Thanks all

[civic lantern]

there is some kind of packet filtering happening between your gatweay and the server

[solid iron]

Then I guess it depends how savvy your are, I prefer running my game servers on a dedicated linux box which you can get from any major hosting service

[primal pier]

I dont have mine in the startup command I got api issues rip

[frosty gale]

epic game services are down

[peak wedge]

More likely the result of a bug that's been confirmed

[empty panther]

That's odd, having the extra options didn't break anything for me. Also, if you get the API error, that probably means you don't have TCP open on the port

[solid iron]

On pterodactyl, right ?

[real hawk]

Another host that's fairly solid is Apex Hosting ^^

[primal pier]

Yes

[civic lantern]

that is what i understood when @shut pulsar said 'removing the query port and beacon port seems to fix it'. i thought those options are ignored. maybe they must not be set

[wide lynx]

that says fortnite

[solid iron]

No docker on top, just straight up running the egg

[primal pier]

Ah, no we in containers

[empty panther]

Same here

[tender pollen]

@frosty gale bummer, is setting up a dedicated server much of a task? I do web programming and some infra as a job so might have a chance 😄

[solid iron]

Oh, ok. Then it does work cuz I'm playing fine right now with the old cmdline WITH those two args

[frosty gale]

it might be a bit of a task

[solid iron]

It's ... not very smooth, but perfectly doable, given you don't mind tinkering a bit ~

[clear cliff]

Same, I had to use rinetd to work around it, no amount of playing around with ports and startup command stuff worked

[hallow zenith]

Hey guys i get the Encryption Token Missing Error on a nitrado server which has a fixed port, is there anything i can do to avoid this?

[empty panther]

It's a fun and educational experience

[frosty gale]

you install it with steamcmd or your steam client, make your start.bat, and port forward on port 7777 TCP/UDP

and I guess add firewall rules

[tender pollen]

Any goood starting points for a guide? thanks

[solid iron]

I'm using this egg https://github.com/pelican-eggs/eggs/blob/master/game_eggs/steamcmd_servers/satisfactory/egg-satisfactory.json

[velvet meteor]

So i try to get my server running, opened the supposedly ports (7777 and also did the 15000 one for precaution) on UDP, but the server isn't visible, even on lan or tried it even without firewall in Windows. Server is on another windows machine

[keen shale]

do a player just join my local server with my public ip? or what does he need to type in more then my ip?

[peak wedge]

You need TCP too

[solid iron]

Err, sadly, not right now, everything is outdated since 1,0

[primal pier]

ahhh youre using the archive egg I see

[empty panther]

7777 TCP as well, for one

[hazy token]

it was updated though

[solid iron]

Yeah, it's only pulling the image from Steam, so it works

[brittle prawn]

i'm not going to use my server, i tried to remove foundations and it like desynced or something. Couldn't remove foundations on the client

[stark shuttle]

Need someone to make a docker image

[solid iron]

Just remove the multihome and you gucci

[primal pier]

New one that was merged a couple hours ago isnt working for me with api for some odd reason

[slim salmon]

your public ip, and port if you changed the default port. your nat/router needs port forwarding. their nat/router does not.

[tender pollen]

ah bummer, guess we will wait for epic to fix their sheit or a guide for dedicated server

[hazy token]

it's working on my side

[solid iron]

If you wanna try Pterodactyl, it's fairly easy to setup ~

[primal pier]

I opened TCP and UDP on 7777 and 7778 to be safe based on what Ive seen

[tender pollen]

ty will check it out

[peak wedge]

You're in the wrong channel. This is the Satisfactory server.

[primal pier]

Gonna try something

[peak wedge]

Erm, a Docker already exists

[solid iron]

It's a 'game server manager' of sorts, works fine, a bit wonky at times, but works

[stark shuttle]

Yah a docker image of a dedi server, so I can run it on my Linux VM

[brittle prawn]

Can someone check if they can remove foundations on a dedicated server?

[tawny violet]

pv4 or 6, i only have 4

[peak wedge]

Already exists. 🙂

[sacred pivot]

https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server

[atomic venture]

What sort of packet filtering would of changed from prior to the 1.0 release and now. Since nothing has changed with the device hosting or the router configurations?

[empty panther]

Seems to work fine on mine

[peak wedge]

Thank you

[stark shuttle]

Thanks

[solid iron]

Google would have found that for you 😄

[hollow sandal]

I can create a new save on my dedicated server but I cant upload a 1.0 save using the upload save feature.

[slim salmon]

IPv4 should be fine. (disclaimer: pure years of experience. have not tested it live. and not tested today :3 )

[peak wedge]

Don't expect WAN connections to work right now though.

[stark shuttle]

I was on docker hub lol, not on google

[queen tree]

wait so are they fully broken rn?

[empty panther]

Though I'm currently the only player, there were no errors when someone else was online either

[peak wedge]

I was getting there, but you beat me to it. :p

[brittle prawn]

hmmm, it may have been some kind of edge case.... I'll check on it some other time, anyway thx

[tawny violet]

is there a extra parameter or something, because it isnt working

[civic lantern]

I don't know what you have set up. If you can access https:// lan-ip:7777 and get a certificate warning, but https:// wan-ip:7777 and don't, your gateway is interfering or the server isn't willing to talk properly to the gateway. If you suspect it's because you're accessing it from inside the LAN, DM me a URL to try and I can confirm the result. Or try with your cell phone on cellular

[peak wedge]

WAN? On docker they are. It's a bug in the server.

[slim salmon]

you are sure your ports are forwarded? you can also try to connect with your public IP its silly but good for debugging. TCP forwarded as just discussed below!

[empty panther]

Port 7777 open on TCP?

[hollow sandal]

Wont use uploaded save from 1.0

[tawny violet]

i didnt forward any ports, is that bad

[keen shale]

how do i get a player to join my dedicated server? what function in the menu to use?

[empty panther]

It'd be great if mods could make a pin saying that 7777 needs to be open on TCP now

[jolly heath]

Is there a solution for "Encryption Token missing" ?

[queen tree]

will LXC container running on proxmox work

[peak wedge]

Are you using Docker?

[thin crest]

Is it possible to get the server files without using steamcmd? since i have a vps server with only ipv6 and steamcmd doesnt support it apparently and needs native ipv4

[atomic venture]

Already confirmed this, deferring to my first message,
Able to connect via LAN, no external connections working.
Windows 10 using Steam CMD.
Private Password Set for Session.
Verified 7777 set for both UDP and TCP for port forwarding.
IPV6 enabled on host, not router.
Firewall settings confirmed.
Was working prior to this relese.
Other Dedicated Servers on same device working fine.
Any further suggestions outside of MultiHome configurations?

[empty panther]

It won't work if you don't forward ports

[solid iron]

In standard setups, you will need to forward the game port (7777 is the default) over TCP and UDP

[civic lantern]

and @keen shale use the server manager, not "join server"

[slim salmon]

if you dont forward the port the box between the internet line and your computer will block any connections. you must forward the port to your computer TCP for sure maybe also port 7777 UDP. (as written down a few messages)

[hot hornet]

Has anyone managed to get the dedicated server on windows to work for people outside a lan yet?

[atomic venture]

Did this and that's what we are all getting. This was working before this release just fine so something has changed with this release.

[empty panther]

UDP as well, from my testing

[peak wedge]

You're probably suffering from the bug. Wait a few days for it to get fixed.

[keen shale]

then he will put in my pcs public ip?

[solid iron]

Oh yes, sorry, forgot to add it

I meant TCP is newly required 🙂

[velvet meteor]

I opened TCP 7777 aswell (beside the UDP ports) now, used -log -unattended, server loaded and says the ports on iopv4 and ipv6. can't connect from lan 😦

[queen tree]

will LXC container running on proxmox work?

[sly turtle]

gamehostbros servers work btw

[hazy token]

does anyone know what changing the server tick rate does

[runic zinc]

satisfactory just went from 6k concurrent players to 110k concurrent on steam and still going up.

Epic games wasnt prepared lmao.

Just a warning for everyone there may be some server issues unrelated to anything we can do

[civic lantern]

provided you poked a hole in your firewall on port 7777, leading to your machine, yeah, probably

[viscid jackal]

i play with someone external with any problems. Open 7777 and 7778 ports and try

[keen shale]

ya

[empty panther]

Set my router to open exclusively 7777 TCP, could not connect. Set it to 7777 UDP, get an API error. Set it to 7777 UDP/TCP, could connect.

[peak wedge]

They're already open. It's a bug.

[civic lantern]

well, the switch to tcp is new with this release, so saying 'this worked before' is kind of irrelevant

[dire ingot]

Port 7777 needs to be open for TCP and UDP.

[jolly heath]

I tried the server manager but it does nothing. Put in the ip and port properly. I don't even get an error message.

[tropic void]

Things to check, if you're running it natively and not docker:

• Port must be on 7777 for now
• Make sure this is forwarded TCP. I did 15000 and 15777 as well to cover all my bases
• Don't use multihome param
• Make sure your servers firewall has rules added for 7777/tcp as well

Note
I did udp for port forwarding and firewall to make sure, for all ports, as a shotgun method.

[dense mesa]

Is the player limit hard capped at 4?

[solid iron]

Increases the rate at which the server ticks, i.e 'frames per second' but for the server systems, if you will (I'm simplifying, but that's the idea)

[atomic venture]

If that is the only change that was made then this should be working as that is a rather simple adjustment that was already done.

[balmy fox]

Ok guys with updating the port 7777 NAT to TCP and checking the time was the correct on my PC and the server, got it working with no parameters

[limber flare]

no, you can edit it in config. But above 4 players is "youre on your own". I've done it though and its working with 6

[hazy token]

so should I set it to 60 or 120?

[solid iron]

Don't change it

[trim raft]

no, in game.ini add: [/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=8

[balmy fox]

Are they powerful? haha

[glacial ginkgo]

why not?

[slim salmon]

(maybe also a line of thought if you rent a server somewhere:
For a cheap price your probably on a VPS and be hit by the docker bug)
[see pinned message]

[solid iron]

I mean, you can increase it, but it'll only make your server run slower because it will increase the load quite heavily

[empty panther]

Your server will chug later on

[dense mesa]

Excellent. I have 5/6 players so wont be pushing it too hard.

[tawny violet]

thx

many other things changed, and there are bugs. from your client, you get an ssl cert error with a browser on the LAN IP and some kind of vague 'connection failed' to the WAN IP, there really is only one conclusions, the problem is the gateway or server

[dense mesa]

Thanks. <3

[solid iron]

The server does not need to run any faster than it does, it does not need to check everybody's position 60 times per seconds, for instance

[visual mirage]

They run on a 14600k with 64gb ecc ddr5 ram in a proxmox lxc

[solid iron]

This is not an intensive First Person Shooter game, 30 tickrate is fine

[balmy fox]

Wow man and why do you give that for free? it's very strong hardware

[hazy token]

but do you know why I get low frame rates on my server?

[visual mirage]

It just sits idle mostly and even satisfactory servers barely increase the power usage of it

[summer atlas]

Hey what’s the best client to go through to host a dedicated server

[solid iron]

I do not understand the question. Framerate is a graphical problem, the server doesn't care

[glacial ginkgo]

so I should bump it back up from 20tps when I was playing U8 then? massive builds kinda made the whole thing poo itself

[empty panther]

If it's already low now, increasing the tick rate won't work. You probably don't have high enough specs on the server

[opal owl]

anyone know where the starup command is at in a docker container?

like what script its in

[hollow sandal]

I finally got my dedicated server to work pheww

[solid iron]

Increasing it will not reduce the lag on large factories, the game is just quite CPU intensive

[somber crest]

I can't find Game.ini
Am I searching in the wrong location?:
steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryGame\Saved\Config

[sacred pivot]

https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server

documentation is here

[slim salmon]

ssh :>

[empty panther]

And if you mean actual FPS, as in, frames on your screen, that has nothing to do with the server

[hazy token]

I'm getting low frame rates on my server, I'm wondering if the server is the cause or else because I have more than 120 fps on the same save in singleplayer

[keen shale]

Is there a way to set a specific local IP adress on my local dedicated server?

[balmy fox]

yeah me too best feeling eh 🙂

[limber flare]

Set the IP address on the machine?

[visual mirage]

I assume the dedicated server is still a hot pile of pooh code lol

[balmy fox]

What do you mean? You have to fix the IP of the computer, for example with DHCP static lease on your router.

[solid iron]

120ticks per second REQUIRES the server tries to update the logic of the game 120 times per second, thus increasing the load considerably. It will make you lag

[full crystal]

What was your problem and what have you done ?

[hazy token]

yeah I get that

[trim raft]

FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer

[digital bobcat]

Set static IP in the network control panel

[maiden anchor]

@Red please share your success with the plebs

[solid iron]

I'm sorry then, I'm not sure I understand the issue ?

[keen shale]

the port forwarding goes for like 192.168.2.xxx But my machine is on 192.168.11.xxx So i cant port forward towards my local ip

[balmy fox]

whats your issue my boy?

[keen shale]

thanks i will try that

[visual mirage]

Yes you can. As long as your router is aware of both subnetd

[somber crest]

in /WindowsServer I only see Engine.ini and GameUserSettings.ini

[frosty gale]

ok so whenever the server owner leaves the game the server basically closes

[hazy token]

well basically when I load the same save in singleplayer, I have decent fps but on the server with the exact same save file, I have like 20 to 30 fps

[rigid inlet]

can anyone recommend a dedicated server to use or is this for self made dedicated servers only sorry in advance

[trim raft]

you have to make Game.ini

[jade turret]

speaking of tickrate, is there any reason to up the tickrate from the default 30 if you think your hardware can allow it? i havent tried live with 1.0 and other players, but back in 0.8 when i last played we started getting significant rubberbanding and such later in the game, using 30 tickrate

[frosty gale]

are dedicated servers working in 1.0?

[flint vale]

what are good reliable dedicated servers and how do i find them

[somber crest]

oh gotcha

[hazy token]

yes

[hidden forge]

Can anyone confirm my NGINX reverse-proxy config?

upstream satis_v4 {
        server <IPv4>:7777;
}
upstream satis_v6 {
        server [<IPv6>]:7777;
}
server {
        listen 7777;
        proxy_pass satis_v4;
}
server {
        listen [::]:7777;
        proxy_pass satis_v4;
}

Server is reachable with direct IP/DNS but not over reverse-proxy
v6 redirects to v4 because the server is running on v4-only rn
everything in LAN

[solid iron]

FPS meaning actual frames per sec on the client, right ?

[keen shale]

The gui forces me to only open towards .2.xxx

[velvet meteor]

I can open the http api, but server still "appears offline" on lan, any things i can troubleshoot?

[glad loom]

Yup !

[hazy token]

yes

[balmy fox]

mostly self made but I see people asking for 3rd party hosted servers

[errant geyser]

there is no reason to up the tickrate, you will actively hurt the performance and bandwidth by doing that

[visual mirage]

Then put them on the same subnet

[real hawk]

If you're looking for renting a server, I'd recommend Apex Hosting ^^

[solid iron]

Technically, it just asks the server to 'refresh' faster, so for instance, the position of your friends that you receive through the server. But in reality, the game being fairly 'slow', you don't really notice a difference

[keen shale]

how? 😄

[solid iron]

Is your server the same machine you're running the game on ?

[digital bobcat]

Create any other .ini you need, it's just a text file, co create a new text file with Notepad and change the extension from .txt to.ini

[visual mirage]

Not really sure why they're on different subnet to begin with so I can't really tell you without fully understanding the topography

[mystic blade]

Where can I find the save files and config (maxClients etc) on a Linux server?

[hazy token]

nope, it's a server hosting we've made with friends. I run the game on my pc and the server is on a different machine than my computer

[solid iron]

I wouldn't increase it, you'll only lower your performances

[somber crest]

yeah thanks!

[atomic venture]

From a client on the same LAN using LAN IP for connection we get this, {"errorCode": "errors.com.epicgames.httpserver.route_handler_not_found", "errorMessage": ""}

[solid iron]

Ok, check the server specs, the dedi server seems to be a bit greedy with CPU

[lavish magnet]

Is there a configuration where I can set up the dedicated server to run with a signed certificate?

[errant geyser]

but if you really, really want to increase it, you can do that with -MaxTickRate=60 on the command line

[solid iron]

I'm afraid there's no other solution

[errant geyser]

heavily not recommended and very much not officially supported though

[solid iron]

Entirely agree, you should not have to change the tickrate for Satisfactory, it'll only make you lag even more

[frosty gale]

do you mind if I ask you about servers going offline when the claiming account leaves?

[jolly heath]

Ok I managed to finally get the Server Manager to acknowledge the server but now I'm getting this.

[jade turret]

Okay, will be intresting to see how my ded will perform later, i will be playing with my buddy so, we havent played since 0.8 so, and since my buddy (not me who hosted) got rubberbanding later in the game, and i couln't figure out why he got it, could it be related to network quality? not the setting per se but my actual home network

[heady magnet]

I'm crashing as the server host whenever ADA starts speaking for milestone unlocks. Anyone else had this?

[hazy token]

spam retry

[dense mesa]

Still have multihome on it?

[gaunt tiger]

So I got my dedicated server set up in SteamCMD. Its running on a seperate computer. The ping is HORRIBLE. Ive done this with many games and it always works just fine with great ping. I have good internet. So I am missing something. A setting or something. Has anyone done this and figured out why it lags so bad? Id love any help. Thank you!!

[hot crystal]

I'm on Windows (game) using Windows server to host dedicated. I'm trying to connect to my server over LAN. I can see it online when the host's firewall is off. When the firewall is on with ports 7777 & 7778 TCP/UDP open, It shows offline. Are there any other ports in use?

Other games have no issues on the same host with similar firewall entries, to rule out me not understanding how to make one.
any help is apprciated. thank you in advance

[jolly heath]

Never touched it, to add or remove it

[visual mirage]

Connect using the local ip, not the wan

[empty panther]

Open port 7777 on TCP and UDP

[void creek]

Is it possible to get the dedicated server to not skip onboarding and the initial hub upgrade milestones?

[jolly heath]

Both? The wiki said just UDP

[empty panther]

Yeah, TCP requirement is new

[trim raft]

Wiki is outdated

[empty panther]

Don't need the other ports either

[dire ingot]

Both, TCP and UDP must be allowed for 7777

[digital bobcat]

The Wiki doesn't seem to be updated yet

[gaunt tiger]

I am using the local IP. But what about my friend that is connecting? He is getting 800-1000ms ping. Doesnt happen on other dedicated servers Ive hosted. Just wondering what settings I am not getting right...

[balmy fox]

[2024.09.10-20.37.09:472][288]LogNet: - Result=EncryptionTokenMissing, ErrorContext="EncryptionTokenMissing"

What is this when my friend tries to enter?

[quick mist]

Someone sticky this:
Wikis will be out of date as the server was changed a lot. Do not rely on Wiki documentation,.

[dire ingot]

There's the doc that is distributed with the game on tne new Dedicated Server API

[solid iron]

Is he using join Game or the Server Manager ?

[frosty gale]

where are you seeing your ping

[dense mesa]

This is a great change. The fewer ports I have to open the better.

[solid iron]

Cuz he needs to use Server Manager

[dire ingot]

Yep! One port to rule them all, but both TCP and UDP 🙂

[gaunt tiger]

In the server manager where it lists the server. The ping is in the bottom right.

[civic lantern]

what is producing this error message? are you trying to manipulate the http api, or just connect to a game?

[jade turret]

is both nescecarry? i just set mine only tcp for the 7777 in my portforward, and that made so it works for me locally to connect with the WAN IP, but my buddy could not connect from his home (separate network)

[visual mirage]

Sounds like a routing issue. Or your friend is across the world using wireless internet that drops 80% of the packets

[digital bobcat]

I like the port change too 🙂

[frosty gale]

its incorrect

[gaunt tiger]

How would I fix that routing issue? Use a different port than 7777? Any idea?

[frosty gale]

says I have 1200ms and im playing with my friend just fine

[latent night]

Shouldn't there be more logs?

[dire ingot]

Both, yep 🙂

[errant geyser]

and to clarify to people, dedicated servers do not support joining by IP through Join Game menu, you have to use Server Manager. The fact that the menu allows you to do that in the first place is a bug.

[solid iron]

There's not much you can do about routing issues on your end, except maybe using Google DNS, but .. Not even sure it'd help

[gaunt tiger]

Well.. the lag is so bad that it usually takes many attempts to join to finally join. And then when he accesses anything in game.. there is a 3-4 second delay.

[jolly heath]

Is the admin password just for me or is that for players logging in?

[lavish magnet]

you

[hazy lagoon]

thank you, solved my problem before I even asked it

[frosty gale]

thats strange

[gaunt tiger]

But any other game works fine?? Why is there a routing issue for Satisfactory?

[steady glade]

so would i be able to join an online server atm?

[slim salmon]

At least save games you find a few dirs in ~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame

[solid iron]

We only said it could be a routing issue, and not everything uses the same route every time, it's the beauty of them internets

[jade turret]

alright, gotta change that then, as im working to getting my ded work outside of my network for my buddy, i myself would just connect using my servers local ip anyway, but it would be nice if it worked out of network as well hehe

[dire ingot]

How are you measuring this ping? Is that what the game is reporting? Or is he pinging your home IP?

[haughty onyx]

API server is HTTPS, does the server generate a self signed cert automatically?

[quick mist]

yes

[gaunt tiger]

Just what it says on the server manager. I just assume its that bad since everything is delayed in game.

[dire ingot]

Yep, it does. With some static CN and OU stuff.

[mystic blade]

Thanks! Found it

[void creek]

Is it possible to get the dedicated server to not skip onboarding and the initial hub upgrade milestones?

Creating a new game didn't seem to work when I joined it (I had start materials)

[somber crest]

Do I have to allocate more RAM manually?

[steady glade]

any servers I could join?

[solid iron]

I've suggested to copy a save made from non-dedi over to your dedi, but had no confirmation it works yet

[inner ember]

Not as far as I can tell. My plan is to start local until hitting T2 then upload the save to the server

[void creek]

And loading an existing save created had some issues

[slim salmon]

if it wasnt changed for 1.0 no not really.
just like take a minute and watch it. its really like 2 min dialog? im still talking U8 and not 1.0 though T_T

[jade turret]

i dont think you can with ded no, only in singleplayer you can get the full onboarding experience with the tutorial and all, and cutscenes etc

[void creek]

damn. All good, thanks

[dire ingot]

Yeah, that's not great then. Have your friend pop a terminal and run "ping <your ip address>".

[inner ember]

Will all the story stuff after T2 work on dedicated?

[wheat pewter]

None of the server console commands I'm finding online are working. Not even (?) to see a list of commands lol. I have admin. What am I missing?

[jade turret]

i wondered that before also, but got that answered in the normal channel that the tutorial and full onboarding is only when playing sp

[atomic venture]

The browser generated this error message when using the LAN IP vs the WAN IP.

[slim salmon]

from a YT vid i watched its like story triggers bout proximity. they mentioned multiplayer and like you trigger it but if your friends are not close they can trigger it later with going there.

[jade turret]

No idea, i havent played that far yet, i'm still setting my own ded up

[haughty onyx]

Has anyone been able to connect to a dedicated server through a NAT? I can't seem to get anything but the API error unless I'm on the same subnet

[hazy lagoon]

Im failing to connect to my own server,

[dire ingot]

Need to forward UDP and TCP on Port 777

[slim salmon]

^ sounds related to the docker issue..... i see a pattern

[gaunt tiger]

Yeah.. the terminal ping comes back bad.. usually in the 500-600ms range. Bizarre...

[haughty onyx]

Yup, already done

[velvet meteor]

wasn't it 7777?

[solid iron]

Are you far apart ?

[haughty onyx]

I'm using docker, seems like it doesn't handle return traffic well

[void creek]

Specifically, when loading a save created in singleplayer with onboarding enabled, the server fails to progress to the next milestone stating that it has already been unlocked, and that save becomes softlocked on the server. Loading that save back up in singleplayer you can then progress forward, and move the save back to the server. You would have to do this for all of the upgrade milestones until you get to the first real phase; if you wanted to play onboarding on a server; which is unideal.

[wide lynx]

i port forwarded udp and tcp to port 7777 but i cant connect to my own server from external IP only localhost

[dire ingot]

7777 yes, sorry, finger is getting tired of that hehe

[frosty gale]

my server still goes offline if I disconnect

[empty panther]

Open 7777 for both TCP and UDP

[slim salmon]

see the pinned message. there seems to be a known bug bout docker containers

[frosty gale]

literally no clue whats causing this

[shut pulsar]

multihome command line was causing the api error when connecting to my servers! @civic lantern

[mellow hemlock]

even when alt-f4ing ?

[mystic blade]

Just played several hours with some people on my dedicated server. Everything worked great!

[frosty gale]

I havent tried alt f4ing yet

[empty panther]

And remove multihome from the command, apparently

[gaunt tiger]

Nah.. only about 20miles. Im actually sitting right next to the host computer.. and my ping is horrible now too. Seems like I have some kind of setting/routing thing wrong.. But I have the right ports open.. Frustrating. Not sure what I have wrong.

[solid iron]

On my end I CANNOT produce a scenario where the server closes when I leave :3 I dunno what's up with that

[velvet meteor]

It seems i can't ping my server but RDP is working.... awesome XD

[wide lynx]

how to check the firewall? i mean i checked but not after the port

[tough juniper]

I have Carrier-Grade NAT so I can just use IPv6.. no luck yet.

[frosty gale]

are you the one that claimed the server

[errant geyser]

<@&387163995947270144> if one of you guys can pin this it would be great

[solid iron]

Yes

[frosty gale]

its not that the server closes persay but it says offline in the server manager

[dire ingot]

I'm running my server out of a docker container on Linux in a cloud environment and can connect fine. Without host networking or anything.

[fierce night]

beat me to it

[empty panther]

Also please pin a message saying that port 7777 needs to be UDP and TCP now

[jolly wing]

Fastest pin in the west

[solid iron]

Yeah sorry, that's what I meant

[haughty onyx]

Docker? CGNAT blows in general, I'm sorry

[errant geyser]

Yeah, the issue seems to be specific to your container and host configuration, and your network routes/adapters available

[jolly wing]

Archengius can ammend his message with that if it's important :)

[latent forge]

Yeah, nowhere on teh wiki does it say TCP 7777

[errant geyser]

wiki has not been updated yet

[solid iron]

Yes please, it's a very common question we've been answering for hours now ^^

[latent forge]

But can confirm after forwarding both UDP and TCP 7777, I'm no longer getting an API Error

[latent forge]

Was it stated somewhere in the changelogs?

[empty panther]

Could you edit your pin to say that 7777 (or the port you set with -Port) needs to be open on TCP and UDP now?

[bright plover]

it was changed in 1.0 to be both TCP & UDP on 7777 . It works.

[dire ingot]

Hugs for @errant geyser heh

[tough juniper]

I'm limited by my provider. I run Satisfactory in a Proxmox Container with systemd as a process initiator

[frosty gale]

alt f4ing does not work

[errant geyser]

I just did.

[fleet vault]

any workaround for the T2 New session issue yet?

[tough juniper]

I do not have any public IPv4 I can use, so I have to use IPv6

[errant geyser]

what? that the wiki is not updated yet?

[tough juniper]

There is no other way for me

[mellow hemlock]

alright, guess the only solution for now is to create a multiplayer game and let it run in the background on low fps when "leaving"

[latent forge]

That 1.0 needs to have TCP 7777 forwarded for dedicated servers

[dire ingot]

The docs are up here 🙂

[errant geyser]

I think it was in the patch notes, and it's also in the docs.

[bright plover]

For anyone with CGNAT - your option to play with friends / family ... is use a service like Cloudflare ZeroTrust / ZeroTier / Tailscale. -- It works, there's guides online as well as I can try and answer q's

[tough juniper]

It worked with CGNAT before 1.0 aswell, I used -multihome=:: to bind on IPv6 and I forwarded my SLAAC IPv6 via DynDNS Service

[crystal grove]

Anyone using hostinger to host a dedicated satisfactory server? Having problems getting the instance to start

[tough juniper]

But since 1.0, doesn't work anymore sadly

[fierce dagger]

When talking about Server Manager you mean the Satisfactory Mod Manager - Server Manager, right? Or via steam? Kinda lost rn 😂

[solid iron]

The ingame menu that's called Server Manager in the main menu 🙂

[dire ingot]

in game server manager

[bright plover]

@tough juniper oh? You can't use routed vpn ?

[turbid hound]

Does anybody know why trying to communicate with a Server using the new HTTPS API always results in Error: 404 - {"errorCode": "errors.com.epicgames.httpserver.route_handler_not_found", "errorMessage": ""}? Nothing I try seems to work

[fierce dagger]

Alright, thank you ::)

[paper portal]

Do dedicated servers work properly yet? Last time I played trains were basically unusable

[dire ingot]

Need to read the docs distributed with the game files

[wide lynx]

did i port forward wrong, why cant i connect to my ds

[fleet vault]

ya, i noticed the md docs don't actually tell you the URL path to use

[turbid hound]

Already doing that, nothing works

[solid iron]

Define properly xD

[paper portal]

I'm hearing "no"

[solid iron]

Yeah ~ It does work, I'm playing on mine right now, but there are ... caveats

[haughty onyx]

They've worked fine for me for the last month or so, dedis don't work at all now though 🙃

[turbid hound]

Yeah

[slim salmon]

i build a medium train network last week 🤷‍♀️ ?

[digital bobcat]

They're supposed to be greatly improved but it's too early to tell

[tough juniper]

It basically is, I opened the ports to my global IPv6...

[dire ingot]

If you're just hitting it with your browser you'll get that. Are you writing an http client to talk to it?

[solid iron]

They do, multiple people here are playing on them right now

[paper portal]

Okay. Last time I was playing it some players couldn't even get in the trains. Also items on conveyor belts were desyncing wildly.

[turbid hound]

Yes, I wrote a basic http client in python just to test it, doesn't work

[frosty gale]

do I need a static IP to have a dedicated server???

[paper portal]

No. Use dyndns

[charred atlas]

@thorny frigate did you find the Game.ini file in FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer (or FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer)

[slim salmon]

no, but when you change IP you need to enter the new one ingame.

[empty panther]

I've answered more questions than I've asked, time to bail. Thanks y'all and have fun

[solid iron]

Yes, or use dyndns or other software to alleviate having a dynamic ip

[thorny frigate]

windows

[dire ingot]

Nice! I haven't tried it yet myself. I just know what a basic GET will do heh. Trying using POST instead of GET? Docs say most things are POST

[solid iron]

That seems like a fair metric to go by, Wish more people did that xD

[craggy estuary]

Where do I find the address for the server? We have tried so many different options now, but "the server appears to be offline"

[paper portal]

Your IP?

[craggy estuary]

Its just the IP and the port at 7777?

[turbid hound]

I've tried both, neither seem to work

[solid iron]

I tried spamming plants and stuff like a madman and haven't seen a sync problen yet

[bright plover]

@tough juniper so for your CGNat situation -- you have it working ?

[solid iron]

But am on a new save, so ~

[paper portal]

Are you locally hosting? Or actually running a dedi on a remote host?

[quick mist]

Are the API docs inclided in the dedicated server download from Steam or just the game client?

[solid iron]

Dedi on a remote debian box

[paper portal]

Sounds promising. Ty

[south current]

are dedicated servers fixed now?

[dapper seal]

Have we solved the api issue on docker dedicated servers?

[jade turret]

@languid crown Yo, so if you still are here, it seems like i've gotten my ded up and running and with my buddy being able to connect from outside my own network. all i did was to change and make sure that the game port (default 7777) was set to both TCP and UDP. i believe they have mady a sticky comment about this, hopefully you'll get your up and running as well 🙂

[civic lantern]

they can be made to work

[fleet vault]

server download

[solid iron]

I've tried both with Pterodactyl and 'raw' and apart from the common issues we've listed here (pinned comments ftw), it seems to be working fine

[dull rivet]

Witch linux distribution did you use?

[tough juniper]

I don't. I can connect over IPv6, but I get the "Failed to Connect to the Server API" error, because I think the problem is the server binds to a wrong IPv6 Port. Which they stated, the devs might push an update in the coming days, I hope this fixes the issue.

[south current]

Debian 11

[quick mist]

I don't see any markdown files in the dedicated server directory tree

[wide lynx]

wait i have to set the game port to TCP and UDP inthe game itself and not the router port forwarding???? how do i do that :>?

[dull rivet]

go on ubuntu 🙂

we fix the problem with ubuntu

[turbid hound]

It's located under steamapps\common\Satisfactory\CommunityResources on the client download (not the server download)

[civic lantern]

those are the correct listens, there is a firewall in the way

[languid bloom]

its on the route, the server already does it by their self

[solid iron]

Wait, no, don't change whole distro for a software bug lmao

[dull jackal]

Ok, so I clearly must be doing something wrong. Anyone have any ideas?

My server machine is on my LAN. Using a LAN IP to add it to server manager.

I tried the docker net host fix, still gave me the API error.... now I am trying the IPV6 method and once again, still the same API error message. Ports are all forwarded properly, rebooted the server, unsure why the fix isn't working for me.... Yes I am using the docker version.

[velvet meteor]

I'm a bit flabbergasted, use it on a dedicated windows server, used port 7777 on UDP/TCP, on local network, opened ports on windows server, "Appears to be offline", do i miss something?

[south current]

Can't hosting uses Gameserver interface that has to run on Debian 11

[civic lantern]

debian 11 is absolutely fine

[dull rivet]

our server on debian not work but the server on ubuntu works

[solid iron]

Yes

[paper portal]

LinuxGSM ftw

[languid crown]

Ah, glad that you managed to get it working, unfort we tried doing 7777 TCP & UDP

[fossil stump]

My server runs on Debian and works fine

[civic lantern]

debian likely does not have ipv6 on by default

[wide lynx]

i had done that but cant connect :<

[tough juniper]

The port changes everytime you start the server. I don't think this is supposed to happen.

[slim salmon]

pinned message? docker bug?

[civic lantern]

provided ipv4 listens to 7777 that is all that matters, unless you are in fact connecting over ipv6

[tough juniper]

I can just connect over IPv6 with CGNat.

I do not get any public IPv4 from my provider anymore since this year I can use to connect

[civic lantern]

yup, if you're ipv6 i don't see this working well

[solid iron]

I didn't even know some providers stopped giving v4 addr

[tough juniper]

It's cgnat, I do have an IPv4 but it's not a public one. Its shared

[solid iron]

Oh, right, makes sense

[dull jackal]

I've done everything those pinned messages said. Still API error.

[civic lantern]

lucky you? isn't that special? I don't know the right response. i hope their ipv6-v4 gatweaying works well

[jade turret]

dang, well hopefully you'll get it sorted in the comming days, it might just be some unkown bugs related to the 1.0. well i'm off for now so best of luck to you

[languid crown]

yeah

[balmy fox]

Your own firewall maybe?

[midnight wave]

Hi is there any guide to setup the latest dedicated server guys?

[quick mist]

there are many guys (and gals!) who have set up servers

[balmy fox]

No, only in the router port forwarding

[solid iron]

Same as before, BUT check the pinned comments for common issues / changes

[turbid hound]

Found it: you need to use https://[IP]:7777/api/v1

[balmy fox]

THANKS TO ALL PEOPLE BEING SO HELPFUL!

[willow aurora]

Can someone make a pinned post or something that says "You need TCP port 7777 now as well, and you can't use -multihost" ?

[fleet vault]

where did you find that?

[dire ingot]

lol good find? That doesn't seem to be in the doc at all.

[solid iron]

Already done by @errant geyser

[balmy fox]

it's actually pinned my guy

[turbid hound]

well

[slim salmon]

sorry I missed that you used the host net workaround.
(that's probaby my call then)

[turbid hound]

No idea how this guy figured it out but he saved me a lot of time

[pallid whale]

I am having an issue I think specifically with this and it wont let me join the server it just says Server name pending

[dire ingot]

You need to connect in game and configure the sever first I think

[willow aurora]

it's actually pinned my guy

[dire ingot]

Yeah, that 🙂 connect and finish the setup 🙂

[pallid whale]

I can't connect - it says offline

[balmy fox]

you need to do what retrovirus said, and watch out your firewall is open

[wheat lotus]

Where is the new unreal console mentioned above and in the video from a few months back? I've got the server set up and working but it's just running in a generic CMD window and I can't type commands

[pallid whale]

100% is open, I can go to the URL in the browser

[vernal flicker]

What are the hardware requirements like if I want to host a server for at least 4 players?

[languid crown]

@jade turret @civic lantern any help would be amazing pls

[solid iron]

From the Satisfactory pterodactyl egg

[velvet meteor]

Yeah found it... Windows was kind enough to.not let me open 7777 on ipv4 but only ipv6. Used the port command to change it for satisfactory and it works now.

[errant geyser]

are you running from steam or bat file?

[wheat lotus]

Epic games

[fleet vault]

success!!

renevo:~$ curl -s -X POST --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://<IP>:7777/api/v1 -d '{"function": "HealthCheck", "data": {"clientCustomData": ""}}' | jq .
{
  "data": {
    "health": "healthy",
    "serverCustomData": ""
  }
}

[errant geyser]

oh, I see.

[balmy fox]

I had a time sync problem, did you check that too?

[civic lantern]

I don't fully understand what I'm being shown. Are you saying that you can access the sever with a browser but not the game?

[brazen bane]

Im running a server on Linux using the Pterodactyl panel do i need to wait for the update to come out to fix the api problem?

[turbid hound]

Yup, everything seems to work fine for me aswell now

[solid iron]

Which egg are you using ?

[turbid hound]

Getting the server state works as intended

[vernal flicker]

Thank you! Do you have any idea if a ryzen 5 3600 would be powerful enough?

[pallid whale]

oops

[errant geyser]

we are working on a fix. In the meantime, to get a new fancy console, you can run the server from the executable with arguments -Log -NewConsole

[pallid whale]

If you go to IP:7777 in the browser

[brazen bane]

Its kind of an old one from 5 months ago

[civic lantern]

use https with a space before the colon

[solid iron]

I'm not too aware of AMD's hardware, but it sounds a bit old to me.

[pallid whale]

it will give that error message - I presume for the API

[wheat lotus]

Thanks!

[pallid whale]

But in game it's just not showing as online

[safe haven]

It'll be fine. I once ran Satisfactory servers off an i5 2500k.

[solid iron]

I'm using the one from the archived repo, and the only change I had to make was to remove the multihome parameter from the Startup cmd

[languid crown]

server shows as offline and port is open

[pallid whale]

It's worth noting that I don't have iPv6 in my VM and I am running Proxmox with a Reverse Nat

[civic lantern]

Try the web browser in steam. https:// server-ip:7777/

[solid iron]

Really ? Cuz my box is running Ryzen 5X and it's already at 70%

[vernal flicker]

Sounds great, thank you for the answers!

[pallid whale]

Previously with satisfactory we had to use multihometo bypass this issue

[brazen bane]

Okay i will give that a try

[civic lantern]

exact same server IP you have in the server manager

[small field]

remove the "-ServerQueryPort={{QUERY_PORT}} -BeaconPort={{BEACON_PORT}} -multihome=0.0.0.0" from the start up command, and it worked for me

[solid iron]

For reference: https://github.com/pelican-eggs/eggs/blob/master/game_eggs/steamcmd_servers/satisfactory/egg-satisfactory.json

[pallid whale]

Ok

[dire ingot]

drop multihome, don't need that. Make sure you allow 7777 through with TCP and UDP both

[brazen bane]

Okay i will try that out also

[solid iron]

Also the pinned comment apply to us too, check them if you run into issues

[safe haven]

What are you doing to use up 70% of that CPU?

[dire ingot]

Looks right. Then drop all the server args

[solid iron]

I was wondering the exact same thing, it seems like a lot, doesn't it ?

[steel finch]

is there a anyone else having crashing issues with their unmodified servers? is it just a 1.0 thing?

[solid iron]

It's only reporting Satisfactory usage at 70%

[plucky edge]

I hope so, not a single solution here has done anything for me on my end.

[balmy fox]

Use Ubuntu Server in a old computer and have all the CPU for use, no bloat

[safe haven]

What're you using to check the utilisation?

[obsidian smelt]

does anyone know how to fix this? I have no idea why it isn't working, it was working before 1.0

[solid iron]

Right now, only through Pterodactyl's UI

[pallid whale]

Like mentioned, previously (before 1.0) we were using multihome to fix it

[dire ingot]

Read pins

[civic lantern]

say more words about your rig

[solid iron]

Lemme check through the system itself

[pallid whale]

Not running any server args

[fleet vault]

Anyone have a workaround for a new server save starting on T2 instead of T0?

[quick mist]

make sure you can get to your server on port 7777 through both TCP and UDP

[balmy fox]

How do you start the server? Show the command?
Also did you change the port to TCP?
Read the pinned posts

[solid iron]

Lmao, yeah no, ok

[safe haven]

I'm not aware of the software. Sometimes 70% means 70% of a single CPU thread.
e.g. My system at 16 threads can run up to 1600%.

[hidden forge]

if i run my dedicated server behind a reverse-proxy, do i need to whitelist any domains anywhere? http(s) query works but game does not
(direct connection works)

[tough juniper]

I really hope so too. What I find weird is, before 1.0 it worked but 1.0 bricked it for me and my weird CGNat Situation.

[proud cedar]

Anyoine here on god forsaken Bell? Seems as though port forwarding is just busted on their modem

[solid iron]

Yeah I know, I was hoping Pterodactyl was smarter than this. It is not.

[safe haven]

At least that's one mystery solved.

[civic lantern]

yeah, then really your game client should be able to connect. make sure there's no spaces in the IP address, or retype it by hand

[solid iron]

Yeah... I mean it even has all the options for CPU affinity and all, so I assumed their graphs were based on actual usage

[languid crown]

me and my friend both cant connect even with the command connect

[solid iron]

I don't even know what it's checking, cuz none of my cores are running at 70%

[deft plover]

ive just came here, where do i need to look to setup a dedicated server

[obsidian smelt]

I'm using shockbyte, leaving the port as 7777 just makes it say the server is offline.

[balmy fox]

well, the wiki is kinda outdated just right now

[civic lantern]

zerotier fixes all networking/firewall issues. I know it's one extra piece of code but it's like a flying-car version of networking

[deft plover]

what should i do then

[brazen bane]

That fixed it thank you

[balmy fox]

You sure the port is set to accept TCP and UDP (both!)

[steady pelican]

Is it possible to play multiplayer but have your own milestone? When I choose one everyone gets the same one

[obsidian smelt]

I'm not really sure what that means or where I would find that 😅

[solid iron]

Now I'm just trying to figure out wth this graph is even showing. It's down to 25%, which is better, but STILL not even close

[balmy fox]

Depends if you use Linux or Windows.
For Linux you will need some commands.
Also depends if hosting behind a router.

[deft plover]

im using windows

[keen vortex]

yay got our dedi working

[untold finch]

Running twin e5-2690v2's with 256gb of ram, can report server is using 90 threads, and is distributing nicely across the 20 or so cores of one physical cpu.. not too loaded.. but it's early days for the map..

[dire ingot]

That's what Ficsit wants. You should all be focused on the same goal 🙂

[keen vortex]

using wolveix, the workaround is a bit brutal but it'll do for now

[steady pelican]

It’s just people play at different times and different paces, I want to move forward but my colleagues are new so I want them to go step by step

[keen vortex]

props to wolveix for getting it going so quickly

[balmy fox]

Well, maybe contact the hosting support, I host myself on my home so don't know how to config those servers.
Make sure your own firewall is allowing satisfactory (or disable the firewall)

[inner ember]

Progression is all server based, not individual unfortunately

[keen fulcrum]

Perfect, so much love

[scenic cairn]

I dont think this is at all possible but it would be honestly pretty neat to have competing teams or progression paths on a single map/server

[balmy fox]

GG bro I wanted something like this too

[frozen kernel]

Am I supposed to be able to access anything at port 7777 https? Just getting route handler not found json response

[keen vortex]

from what i can gather the unreal network engine is allocating a second port at random which will cause problems with NAT/FW traversals

[steady pelican]

You’d think a game in development for so long would have this in place, I guess we can wait for mods

[languid crown]

Anyone else cant get the server to be online on the client. The client says the server offline and port 7777 is open

[hot crystal]

I got my server through windows firewall by making an exception for "<wherever you put your dedicated server>\Engine\Binaries\Win64\FactoryServer-Win64-Shipping-Cmd.exe"
opening port 7777 TCP/UDP did not work for me

[balmy fox]

I have 0 experience in windows, but start by reading the wiki in dedicated server page.

[frozen kernel]

When I had this, after launch I just restarted the client and then it detected it in the next start 🤷‍♂️

[lunar lagoon]

hm server seems fine here

[dire ingot]

It soudnds like you should play single player at your pace, and multiplayer with your friends

[lunar lagoon]

running on linux without docker

[deft plover]

from this site https:// satisfactory fandom. ??

[steady pelican]

Yeah but playing dual saves is a mess and double work :( but indeed this might be the only solution, thank you!

[civic lantern]

that's the way you do it

[vestal yarrow]

Hey guys do you still have to buy a dedicated server?

Like paying monthly

[civic lantern]

those who pay for them rent them, but you never "had to"

[keen vortex]

if you dont' have your own suitable hardware

[solid iron]

Unless you know of a free service provider 😄

[dire ingot]

Running on Linux with docker works fine too. I'm the maintainer of one of the "other" containers out there. My server is up and running on "the cloud" happily right now 🙂

[vestal yarrow]

I have good hardware but I'm not leaving it running for my mates 😛

[civic lantern]

so then yeah, you "have to"

[steady pelican]

Then either share save files or pay a host

[tough juniper]

Binding to IPv6 behind CGNat

[dire ingot]

So now i'm just answering questions as fast as I can 🙂

[vestal yarrow]

Kk i will look for some hosts

[balmy fox]

i use an old gaming laptop with ubuntu server for this server

[vestal yarrow]

Thanks!

Oh

[steady pelican]

So far I think shockbyte is the cheapest

[drifting mortar]

Do we know how to fix this yet?

[mossy vigil]

I rent a dedicated server for 1.0 - and it was set up and running within 5 minutes.
A lot of people are having an absolute nightmare getting their own personal servers set up, so I took the easy way out.

[tribal hatch]

dedicated servers are stable now?

[quick mist]

Let me just take a moment to say, in addition to thanks to Cofee Stain for implementing dedicated servers at all, thanks to everyone here working to help others get their servers running. This community is awesome!

[vestal yarrow]

Do you know which is the best quality?

[steady pelican]

Im using shockbyte and it works perfect with 4 people it’s like 11 USD

[vestal yarrow]

Thanks

[scenic cairn]

This. As annoying as some of the launch day issues have been... Dedicated server support at all is amazing and huge props

[mossy vigil]

I use Hosthavoc, and every server I've had from them has run flawlessly.

[tender magnet]

Hey there, im playing on a dedicated server and game start on tier 2? is this something that can be changed?

[vestal yarrow]

I'm getting choppy framerate in single player, so I'll fix that before I rent a server 😐

[dire ingot]

Nope

[solid iron]

No

[iron plover]

Yes that is

[lunar lagoon]

hw isnt that hard

[wide lynx]

[dire ingot]

lol that's a smart plan 🙂

[lunar lagoon]

but cg nat

[solid iron]

Huh ?

[vestal yarrow]

Nice!

[wide lynx]

are they aplnning to add changing the starting tier to ds

[frozen rune]

Does anyone here have problems that the players don't get any achievements while playing on a dedicated server?

[spice bobcat]

Hey, just wondering if anybody knew how to get the dedicated server setup for more than 4 players? All the old tricks I've found on google don't seem to be working

[dire ingot]

The starting tier is like 15 minutes of the whole game though.

[mossy vigil]

If you've got any advanced server settings selected, you won't get achievements.

[iron plover]

Start ur save game from the game itself then upload the save game on the server

[balmy fox]

yeah, the real stuff comes later, who cares about the intro xd

[flint vale]

is 1.0 stable or experimental rn?

[frozen rune]

Thank you!

[quick mist]

|| there is some neat new content in the intro, so there's that ||

[civic lantern]

stable

[lunar lagoon]

stable

[steady pelican]

1.0 = first stable release

[fleet vault]

this just upgraded my tier 0 save to tier 2 (hub and all)

[solid iron]

But you can't run the tutorial

[steady pelican]

Anything above 0.x is stable

[inner ember]

Doesn't work for onboarding/t1

[frosty gale]

Game.ini in FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=x

[languid crown]

this chat seems very stable

[frosty gale]

if you dont have Game.ini you need to make it

[quick mist]

we try, Andy

[civic lantern]

if you expect a 1.0 to be perfect though you might be an idealist

[solid iron]

There is no way, to my knowledge, to have the intro with the cutscene and the dismantling of the pod and all.

[languid crown]

haha

[hallow void]

Hiya, I am trying to host a server but I keep geting this error, any ideas?

[mossy vigil]

If you do select advanced server options, you can't go back.
So if you want achievements, you'll have to reset and make sure you leave the additional server options alone.

[balmy fox]

I will have to play a single player to see that, but what I really love is massive building with my homies!!!

[dire ingot]

🤪

[quick mist]

is TCP 7777 open on your firewall or just UDP?

[languid crown]

the funny thing is i dont even have that error the server just wont show its online

[iron plover]

On dedicated, no

[solid iron]

Try to check the pinned comments, a lot is there

[hollow sandal]

same as me, i think its a bug

[slim salmon]

oh just realised, never explicitely asked. but we drop the -beta public arg from steamcmd, yes?

[lunar lagoon]

drop -multihome= from args

[frozen rune]

Think I didn't read the warning good enough 😄

[languid crown]

is there a way u fixed it?

[dire ingot]

When you start a multiplayer server it gives you a big warning about turning on advanced settings 🙂

[solid iron]

Which I believe was the question ? maybe I missunderstood though

[mossy vigil]

No worries, you'll know for next time 😄

[hollow sandal]

so far ive found a reboot is only way to bring it back up, once i log off it crashes (it shows in logs it crashes)

[steady pelican]

Any good server mods?

[balmy fox]

yep I was thinking we would have to wait for a hotfix, but it's actually running 🙂

[mossy vigil]

It certainly does mate, yeah.

[languid crown]

ah

[iron plover]

Don't think so, nothing been said about onboarding: #dedicated-servers message

[solid iron]

Maybe in a few month

[dire ingot]

Misclicked my reply 🙂

[cyan venture]

hey so when i started my server, it asked for admin permission whatever, right? Well I accidentally clicked no, and now the same prompt hasn't been showing up ever since. Anyone know how I could get it back? Or if I have to allow something through the firewall?

[hollow sandal]

what does your log file say?

[hallow void]

Might be the docker config not configed properly for 1.0 -_-
but yes i did

[dire ingot]

Ok friends, nice meeting you all. Maybe I'll go actually play now 🙂

[balmy fox]

Remove and readd the server?

[quick mist]

have fun retro!

[solid iron]

Restart/readd the server, maybe ?

[steady pelican]

Enjoy the game virus

[cyan venture]

I've tried re-installing the server and restarting it, nope

[balmy fox]

see you around docker maintainer! :salute:

[solid iron]

Taht edit lmao

[cyan venture]

it's not a thing about JOINING the server, its about literally creating it

[steady pelican]

He maintains the cocaine flow

[lunar skiff]

Pinned Message still don't have a fix for Windows dedicated hosts

[mossy vigil]

Have fun dude 👍

[solid iron]

I've been trying to play, I have done pretty much nothing yet xD

[civic lantern]

the situation remains the same. you need port 7777 open. the machine needs to have ipv6 enabled in the operating system.

[balmy fox]

What's your preferred starting location for 4 players?

[cyan venture]

and now i feel like because I didn't allow it, now it wont even start, it wont even let me create the server

nononono its not about being in game

the console stuff

like

[solid iron]

I love the forest, either the usual start on the ledge with all the nodes around, or deeper in the forst close to the river

[cyan venture]

the batch file

[balmy fox]

did you remove and readd? it's like creating the game again

[lunar skiff]

All of that is completed. IPv6 enabled, and 7777 TCP and UDP open.

[balmy fox]

Did you check your own firewall? Maybe disable it to test?

[solid iron]

The game doesn't allow people that don't like cheese 😡

[open dune]

sorry for the late response, my friends is reusing an old server that was handed down to him. he informed me it has a AMD Opteron 4184

[lunar skiff]

Firewall is disabled.

[kind terrace]

How do you get the SSL certificate from the server? I am running the dedicated server as a VM behind nginx proxy manager and get an SSL handshake failed error when trying to connect to the address via the steam browser

[thick tusk]

So I know dedicated servers are having issues right now... But still where the heck are the configuration files for satisfactory's dedicated servers

[errant geyser]

We have identified the issue with Server Manager connectivity on Linux and will release a patch tomorrow (Wednesday) with a fix.

[quick mist]

you AFAIK can only connect from the game client server manager @kind terrace

[cyan venture]

yes i have deleted all the files and stuff, and upon restarting the server after reinstalling, it is not popping up with that admin prompt again, i feel like i need to allow it through the firewall
even though I've already had a server in the past, for some reason it asked for permissions again, and I couldn't give it at that moment upon first start up

it has absolutely nothing to do with being ingame and within satisfactory, im talking all about the actual FOLDER, I have a different computer im running this off of, and i am unable to connect to it

[kind terrace]

I also tried that, but it just says the server is offline

[jade verge]

Hi guys ! I'm trying to set up a dedicated server. I run it as a service on Windows with nssm (as described in the Fandom page about it).
It's starting, i can connect to it, everything's fine. But when i disconnect, the server shuts down and is not automatically restarting.
Even with running as a service, with pause with no players unchecked, with -unattended argument.
Any hint to help me pioneers ? 🙏

[frosty gale]

no fix yet

[manic flare]

I'm seeing satisfactory is bound on 7777 for tcp (but my chosen IP for UDP), and the server manager simply says "Failed to connect to the server API" presumably because it's trying to connect to IP:7777 but it's bound on localhost:7777...

[solid iron]

SEE it's doing it again! Now that I know, it's driving me nuts

[fresh crystal]

It seems like I can't start server... Using Linux GSM, anyone else had problem there ?

[jade verge]

oh so it's a known bug. Thanks !

[wide lynx]

wiki is outdated

[cyan venture]

The server is ON and yet even with using localhost, it doesn't even show up

[frosty gale]

I dont know that any developers know about it but me and like 3 other people do

[pallid whale]

Failed to bind Socket 'FGServerAPISocket' To Address '127.0.0.1:7777': SE_EADDRINUSE <--- What can this possibly mean

[keen vortex]

something else is already u sing port 7777

[reef plaza]

Safe to assume I'm not the only one? I've confirmed that TCP and UDP are opened in the firewall, and I'm connecting directly via IP on the local network. Any ideas?

[solid iron]

You already have something on that port

[cyan venture]

is there by any chance a 2nd thing i must allow through the firewall to join the server other than satisfactory itself?

[pallid whale]

It's already in use by itself because if I go look what's using 7777 it is the server which is running

[knotty mist]

7777 is now TCP also

[pallid whale]

Makes sense, but then why would it also say this?

[knotty mist]

it's not enough to have it only on UDP

You need to portforward 7777 to TCP now also.

[manic flare]

#1283092279325626378 message Someone here said if they had ipv6 disabled, it results in the dedicated server listening on localhost rather than the target port 🤦

which would explain why we're seeing 127.0.0.1. Unless it happens to be configurable, I guess we're out of luck unless we enable ipv6?

[keen vortex]

FactorySe 5141 satisfactory 13u IPv6 227310185 0t0 TCP *:51921 (LISTEN the issue is that it's opening a second listener on a random port which means you can't have a firewall or NAT in the way

[solid iron]

I don't know, I don't have access to your machine, but maybe there's a defective instance of the server running somewhere on there or two started at the same time somehow so now one is failing ~

But EADDRINUSE means exactly that, the addr you're trying to bind is already in use

[manic flare]

I've I've understood right it sounds as if there is a bug whereby if ipv6 is disabled then it doesn't correctly listen on all interfaces (nor the specified multihome interface)

[ionic grove]

Been looking through the history, I can't get the player count raised, added the

MaxPlayers=8```
to the game.ini, but upon restarting the changes were reverted

[keen vortex]

yeah there's something to do with how the UE network driver is binding ports and it's being ffixed

[reef plaza]

looks like it's enabled

[icy token]

anyone know where updated documentation is for setting up DS on windows through steamCMD?

[solid iron]

Well I mean, the one that failed CANNOT be listed here, it failed

[manic flare]

Do you have a reference? Did someone say this is a known bug somewhere?

[pallid whale]

No, this is the one that errored. Its still up.

[keen vortex]

i'm putting this together from comments on the issue on wolveix's github repo, a few comments in here, and my 38 years of professional experience in software and network engineering

[sturdy gust]

Yep 🙂

[hushed horizon]

fixed encryption issue with the commandline arg, friends are able to connect directly despite api issues

[errant geyser]

As a workaround for Server Manager connectivity until we release the patch tomorrow, you can try adding the following argument to the dedicated server command line:
-ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any

[solid iron]

Then I dunno, it's not the one that failed, it's something else that launched or a previous one that reported an error late. But you'll never see two things bound to the same port there. Try running it again, making sure you're only running one instance at a time

[keen vortex]

i am not an UE expert, so i don't know exactly what it's doing, but i have a fairly good idea

[sturdy gust]

I shall test this right now!

[languid crown]

pls pin

[keen vortex]

oh i bet i know what it's doing. i'd have to strace it to be sure, which would be.. painful

[errant geyser]

I have updated the pinned message

[ionic grove]

Figured it out, the server has to be off when you make and save the Game.ini, then when you start the server the changes stay!

[languid crown]

I'm having issues in the console and im certain its this Failed to bind Socket 'FGServerAPISocket' To Address '127.0.0.1:7777': SE_EADDRINUSE

Any help would be amazing

Server is shown as offline on client

[manic flare]

Disabling ipv6 made the game start working for me. Also eying up the DefaultBindAddress parameter.

[inner idol]

1getting Failed to Connect to the Server API

Ptradactyl server

[frosty gale]

im getting FMultiBindDatagramSocket failed to read data from underlying socket Unreal: SE_ECONNRESET whenever I leave and it makes the server go offline

I put it in a .bat:

And been getting the same error.

[solid iron]

Which egg are you using ?

[solid iron]

Try this one : https://github.com/pelican-eggs/eggs/blob/master/game_eggs/steamcmd_servers/satisfactory/egg-satisfactory.json
BUT remove multihome from the Startup cmd

[heady magnet]

I keep having a graphics and input crash. Monitors report no input and the other players are disconnected. I can still hear the game playing but have to hold the power button on PC to restart 😦

[sweet rover]

Also: Whats with the promised new console? It only starts in a windows terminal on my client...

[runic zinc]

any idea why the server closes when I leave instead of staying open?

rumor is its only when the one who claimed the server leaves

[frosty gale]

nobody has it as far as im aware

[solid iron]

Yeah, but somehow I CANNOT reproduce it :/

[frosty gale]

no fix

youre like number 6

[runic zinc]

I was like #1 so lmao

[solid iron]

Yeah, I've been trying to debug the server closing with several ppl but cannot trigger it on my end

[sturdy gust]

Holy shit it works

[solid iron]

So it's kinda hard

[whole crown]

Do I paste the workaround command into steam game launch arguments or?

[sturdy gust]

Updating the Docker image!!

[frosty gale]

the server stops listening on its socket when the claimer leaves

[solid iron]

What's you setup ?

[solid iron]

Am running the serv on a debian box without docker

[frosty gale]

server is running bare metal on windows 10

[runic zinc]

Im wondering if it has anything to do with the session type/joinability setting.
Kinda sucks that none of the settings mentioned here are actually able to be changed

[frosty gale]

machine is completely remote to me

[reef plaza]

Anyone know where I would edit a setting like this if I'm using AMP to run the server? #dedicated-servers message

[solid iron]

Hmm. Doesn't windows close TCP sockets with no traffic by default ?

[inner idol]

Thank you I will test it now

[solid iron]

I am not very experienced in tinkering with windows, I only use it for games, I do everything else on nux ~

[slim salmon]

you would not edit a setting (file) for a command line argument 🙂

[frosty gale]

i believe the console reports this error
FMultiBindDatagramSocket failed to read data from underlying socket Unreal: SE_ECONNRESET

[keen vortex]

no?

some firewalls do but no host stack i've ever seen closes TCP sockets for inactivity

[reef plaza]

That's kind of my point... SO if I'm using amp, is there a way to fix this? or do I just wait?

[solid iron]

I think I remember from my student years that windows needs to set SO_KEEPALIVE var for TCP sockets

[solid iron]

I am pretty sure it does, lemme google around, I'll come back to you

[whole crown]

Where do I input the given fixaround command?

[slim salmon]

lemme wrestle with zsh for a minute and i report back, ok?

seee
no api error
server certificate is self signed
aka
Progress 🎉

[frosty gale]

and then someone on the QA page posted a bug report saying

When the server first starts up, I see the following entries related to the dedicated server, clearly showing it listening on port 7777:

0.0.0.0       7777 FactoryServer-Win64-Shipping-Cmd

::                7777 FactoryServer-Win64-Shipping-Cmd

However, after the client disconnects, these are no longer listed if I run the `Get-NetUDPEndPoint` command. I've checked the crash logs for the server and I don't see anything listed.

[keen vortex]

this is required to keep a session alive through a stateful firewall, but windows itself does not do this

the thing is, almost everyone runs through stateful firewalsl these days, so it kinda makes sense to advice SO_KEEPALIVE

[frosty gale]

I mean either way this is a developer problem

[runic zinc]

hopefully they are watching this then

[sweet rover]

@sturdy gust - Is it fully updated?

[cyan venture]

okay y'all
so when i booted up the server, right, as in NOT in game
using the batch file to launch the server
it was doing all of its stuff in the cmd stuff whatever right

it THEN asked me for admin permissions
I clicked no because at that very moment I could not give it permission.
and now the server doesn't even register that it is on our network
cant even use localhost
Its been port forwarded

can somebody please tell me if there is more than one thing that must be activated for the firewall on dedicated servers?

[solid iron]

Yeah I might have mixed things up, I moved away from networking a while ago ^^'

[sturdy gust]

It's live 🙂

[slim salmon]

no API error so far and the !! def wont lead to any issues...

[balmy fox]

My guy, maybe try to completely disable your firewall and test.

[errant geyser]

this is just a human friendly name, you can use any characters there, including non-ASCII

[visual mirage]

Enabling ipv6 fixed my issue of api unable to connect

[balmy fox]

Archengius is here carrying tonight! props to you

[quick mist]

"Just disable your firewall" is right up there with "try running it as Administrator / root" in the running for "most often suggested worst ideas"

[cyan venture]

cant do that at the moment, this is my dad's computer and he needs to be here for admin stuff and whatnot
I will try that when he gets home, but is there anything else that could possibly be going wrong?

[cinder atlas]

just saw this was here, been using your container, but saw there was some issues, let me get one started and see what happens 😄

[cyan venture]

i dont like that idea either

[carmine skiff]

@sturdy gust is a beast! youre the best!

[balmy fox]

I know man, but at least you know the issue comes from the firewall. Then you activate it again and change the config until allowing satisfactory.

[wheat pewter]

My server is up and running on LAN... fingers crossed it will work on WAN when my buddy gets home from work 😂

[whole crown]

I feel like an idiot, not sure where to add the fixaround argument.

I have dedicated server running from steam app directly but server manager ingame shows Offline/Not authed/Server name pending

[cyan venture]

im in a similar situation

[balmy fox]

Ok, do you know how to add a program to the firewall? If you can't do that, I think you're kind of screwed without admin access.

[cyan venture]

yes i do, and the thing is satisfactory is already there

[mighty sonnet]

We managed to get the server running however the MAM lists everything unlocked, even with the setting disabled. Anybody else encountered this?

[unique epoch]

Help please, im trying to set up a server through steam on my old pc but it says i cant open satisfactory on my new pc because the dedicated server is running on my old machine

[cyan venture]

i stupidly clicked no, and now it won't even give me the option again to allow it

[solid iron]

Yeah, nah, I can't find anything relevant. Apart from reports of people not handling errors when disconnecting and then receiving ECONNRESET as a result. But only on Windows, interestingly enough

[balmy fox]

Maybe try uninstalling and installing the game again, to trigger the message again (I hope)

[cyan venture]

i tried that

unfortunately nothing

[slender ferry]

they need to fix it for people that buy host servers its not working

[solid iron]

I'm sorry, I don't remember what your setup is. Windows remote server with no docker, right ?

[frosty gale]

yes

[cyan venture]

tried restarting the computer, nothing either

[slim salmon]

linux dedi server

start game via
./FactoryServer.sh "-ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any"
(you might get away without the " " but they should not hurt either way)

Game install and update routine:

Save game (and blueprint?) location
~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame

[solid iron]

I do not understand the difference between our setups then. Apart from the OS, that is, but ~

[balmy fox]

Can you explain your setup?
Where is the server running?
A local pc?

[nocturne thorn]

Where can i file a bug report i just crashed on my server and its done the same thing it used to where its desynced me from that player. my old self is offline and im a new player

[cyan venture]

yes, windows pc

[balmy fox]

Same PC you're running the game off?

[inner idol]

@solid iron There is some errors about Navmesh Bounds are too large BUT the server loaded and im in the game.. Thanks for the tip about removing multihome! you rock bro

[cyan venture]

no

[drifting hamlet]

thanks @sturdy gust for all your work today on the Docker container fixes

[mortal birch]

Can you set the server to not restart?

[cyan venture]

my computer, and the other computer are seperate

[balmy fox]

Maybe the firewall of the Server PC is not correctly config? @cyan venture

[solid iron]

I believe these are 'normal' errors. Glad it worked !

[steel tide]

I got mine running on windows 10 amp . Ran command line updates. deleted old server. went into amp main menu, configuration, instance deployment, then configuration repositories fetch latest button. Created new Satisfactory server, edited it and added port 7777 TCP. Then updated and started right up. I'm sure they will update the template soon

[errant geyser]

No. Server needs to restart once a day to avoid clock drifting related issues.

[cyan venture]

maybe, but i don't even know what to do with that
like I could add satisfactory again to it but idk

if i did

would i have to add FactoryServer.exe to it?

[solid iron]

Am sorry, what?

[balmy fox]

Yes, absolutely

[misty haven]

so I don't have a ton of ram, do we know where to go to enable the memory streaming or am I sol?

[mortal birch]

ok, thanks

[cyan venture]

omfg i think i just figured it out

its 100% that oml

I've been really annoyed with this today, so im sorry if i seem rude
i'm not meaning to come off that way

[balmy fox]

@cyan venture
That's why I'm telling you to disable firewall just a moment in both PCs to see if the problems comes from either of them.
Maybe wait for your dad before touching sensible things, tho.

[cyan venture]

well he trusts me, it's just that I need to get the password to do stuff and he is out rn lol

[balmy fox]

You never did bro 🙂 everybody needs help sometime
I received my help and here I am returning it back.

[ashen apex]

not sure if this is the right place, but does anyone knmow if you play on a dedicated server with friends, will you miss any storyline stuff?

[balmy fox]

Share your solution, please? Knowledge for all is power

[quick mist]

us techies are very familiar with frustration-wrought breviloquence

[slim salmon]

"about 15 min" / you might wanna "watch/play" the intro in single player.
I literally just now created a world
It starts at Tier 2

[ashen apex]

gotcha

[sweet rover]

Its 12am in Europe and they are still putting out fires everywhere 😄

[balmy fox]

Yeah absolutely xd I'm so mad at work now because my code ain't working

[ashen apex]

thanks midna

[quick mist]

some story beats are encountered by A Thing Happening Near You. If others are not near it, they miss that beat. But if they make That Thing Happen independently, they will get it on their own

[mighty sonnet]

Note for others: We figured out the issue with MAM having everything unlocked, on a fresh game where we set it to not have everything unlocked. We nuked all files and everything, then restarted the server. So lingering server files will cause a weird response when you boot into the game.

[cyan venture]

I think it really is as simple as this:
I forgot to add FactoryServer.exe to the firewall, and I'm pretty sure that is exactly what I accidentally clicked no on

The old "Satisfactory" thing that was allowed has the path set to "ue4server-win64-shipping.exe"

I mean it used to work in update 6-7, but i guess things changed

[quick mist]

lots of things have changed architecturally

[twilit fox]

Are the launch arguments the same, and is the wiki updated?

[quick mist]

No and no respectively

[balmy fox]

Well, happy for you, you found the problemo.

[quick mist]

-multihome is no longer a thing

[balmy fox]

I launch with no parameters now.

[twilit fox]

So my server has to be bound to the non-default port

[cyan venture]

making servers gives me a headache, a fun headache. A fun, extremely rage inducing headache. But still fun

[errant geyser]

Unreal Engine uses floating point numbers for tracking the amount of time since the map has been loaded, and for keeping the constant update rate of the game mechanics. Time is calculated in seconds, and each update is a small number of time that has passed since the last update, that is, a fraction of the second.
Some systems cache total world time and use it for gameplay logic, and for updates. It's also used for networking.
If the server is running for too long, some precision-based calculations start becoming less precise, and causing subtle bugs. Overall, Unreal Engine is not really designed to have map sessions running for longer than a few days, and dedicated servers usually run for much smaller periods of time.

[quick mist]

you can use -Port=x to bind to UDP and TCP port x

[twilit fox]

Thankyou

[sonic sable]

i have a i7-4770 with 32GB of RAM, will that be enough to run my own ded server?

[regal marsh]

so does the automatic restart set to 24:00 mean that it will restart at midnight?
not really interval from when you started or some point?
I just had it say it restarts at 00:00 and it made a save with "continue" in the name, but everyone is still connected and nothing happened
is that the restart?

[balmy fox]

yeah no doubt

[frosty gale]

why not use unix time stamps

[quick mist]

ask Epic

[inner ember]

Has anyone confirmed that story stuff triggers on dedicated servers?

[abstract bay]

What's the best way to have people join your dedicated server? Just invite them through steam?

[errant geyser]

because unix timestamps track seconds since epoch, and game is running 30 times a second, and potentially up to 160 times per second

[twilit fox]

I'm trying to think what else I need... my server isn't behind a proxy, but had anyone tried to proxy it with nginx?

[quick mist]

in their game client, they can add your server in the Server Manager found in the main menu

[balmy fox]

Telling them your IP and they adding the server on server manager.

[solid iron]

No no I understand what clock drifting means, but timestamps are ubiquitous. Never have I heard of a server needing to restart to avoid floating point errors. And I've managed quite a bunch of servers, whether it'd be games (smaller than Satisfactory, sure) or just SaaS, or trading services.

[frosty gale]

but if youre tracking time elapsed you just take the epoch on server initialization and count from there

[slow bloom]

did the dedicated server exe app ID change? I'm not seeing a way to use the windowed gui

[twilit fox]

As in put the server behind nginx and connecting to it through the proxy with http

[quick mist]

to be fair unix timestamps are good down to the millisecond (:

[abstract bay]

Gotcha. So I need to figure out what my public ip is to give them right?

[solid iron]

Can you imagine having to reboot my trading services ? Oo Like ... no

[balmy fox]

Yep. Search "whats my ip" in google, some websites are for this.

[abstract bay]

Thanks for the help!

[errant geyser]

Well, your trading servers are generally not made with floating point numbers that track time intervals based on the amount of time passed since the service started. Like I said, Unreal Engine sessions are not really well tested for super long runs

[frosty gale]

is anything in unreal engine good at this point

[solid iron]

It's only one example, and again, timestamps are ubiquitous

[twilit fox]

Your router may tell you your public ip also

[errant geyser]

And even though clock drift in that case is more of a theoretical than practical problem, there can very much be other issues that accumulate over the time that a single save game is loaded

[whole crown]

Huh, launched the dedicated server from .exe files with the given fixaround command parameter but yet my dedicated server looks offline / Server name pending / Not Authenticated.

I have opened 7777 TCP/UDP on firewall but still

[ashen condor]

Is the version to create a server stable?

[quick mist]

it's more of a question for Epic than Coffee Stain though

[errant geyser]

like soft memory leaks, or object accumulation

[balmy fox]

Opened firewall in the server and the client too?

[solid iron]

Hmmmm, yes and no, unless you don't touch the network part AT ALL and let UE do everything, which ... eh

[whole crown]

My router only gives me option to portforward, cant find a way to allow particular .exes different rights

[solid iron]

Ok, but there are other means of alleviating that. You're cutting the whole arm for a finger-ache at this point. Seems ... overkill

[errant geyser]

like I said, UE is not really made to run a single session for a very long time. Most Unreal Engine games have dedicated server sessions that last less than an hour, and single player sessions are generally limited to a day

[balmy fox]

OH yes, I mean on the Windows firewall.
Do you have port forwarding correctly set?

[twilit fox]

Are there any issues with the server that I need to know for a Linux host?

[sharp pumice]

Where did the serversettings.ini files go? they're not where the wiki says they should be

[lunar abyss]

Is there a problem with connecting to a dedicated server from within the same network? I can connect via localhost just fine but when connecting from my laptop (same network) the game sees the server for a few seconds and then it 'appears offline'

[keen vortex]

unreal engine is the best unreal engine on the market

[hasty fern]

Does anyone have a script handy for running the dedicated server as a Linux Service?

[balmy fox]

I'm playing with the only change of adding TCP and changing the command line parameters to none of them.

[frosty gale]

it really is

[errant geyser]

I do not see any issues with server restarts, to experience any kind of inconvenience from that you need to play 24 hours a day.

[solid iron]

No, you only need to have players on different timezones

[whole crown]

Ohhh, lemme check that. I only used the given cmd prompt from wiki to open those ports within win firewall

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

[balmy fox]

Yep, it's not that big of an issue.

[quick mist]

this command needs to be run a second time to also allow TCP (with appropriate modification)

[solid iron]

For you it isn't, we're not playing at the same times with friends. If the server fails to restart, I'm the only one able to restart it properly

[runic zinc]

update on this, it may be something else, but may have been because of setting the automated restart interval too low. about to do some testing to confirm.

[midnight wave]

I have checked the pinned notes but I am not quite understaning where I can setup my own server through steam. Is there any guide that I can follow step by step?

[keen vortex]

the restarts only take a few minutes, seriously which would you rather have: a server that predictably restarts once a day, or a server that randomly crashes without warning

[errant geyser]

there is no actual restart happening, it cannot "fail" to restart

the unreal engine process is not restarted, only currently loaded world is reloaded

[quick mist]

IIRC it's just the server engine game instance restarting (essentially), not the entire service

[dusk cloak]

Same Probleme here. Can't get it raised too.

[balmy fox]

Wiki is outdated right now.
