dedicated-servers

[frosty gale]

not game folder

[scenic orbit]

It's not letting my server start at tier 0. Is there some setting I'm missing?

[frosty gale]

forgot they move it on client

[wicked knot]

NOT windowsnoeditor, that was for UE4

[quick mist]

No. Dedicated server sessions all start at Tier 2

[frosty gale]

is it just windows now

[humble idol]

so you understood the problem, but are still finding any way possible to be an asshat about it

impressive

[scenic orbit]

Ah. Thanks! I wonder why?

[frigid flower]

onboarding (tier 0/1) probably just doesn't make sense to do as multiplayer

[quick mist]

It's a design choice made by Coffee Stain. Probably if I had to guess an issue with getting the pod drop sequence to work in multiplayer

[scenic orbit]

It's weird because session type is single player with no Skip Onboarding.

[quick mist]

Answering succinctly is being an asshat now? Okay.

[frigid flower]

... that was a direct answer to the question mate

[thorn gyro]

managed to get steam cmd working

[scenic orbit]

How'd you do that?! I had to go to Epic Store to install the server.

[wicked knot]

Due to what servers do, a game on one cannot be single player

[frosty gale]

steamcmd has always been working

?

[keen vortex]

"If you run into an asshat in the morning, you ran into an asshat. If you run into asshats all day, you're the asshat."

[thorn gyro]

i just restarted the whole process of setting up the server like force_install and that stuff and that seemed to get it working, wondering if it had to do with it not auto updating for some reason

[tranquil wedge]

Changed the game.ini on client side, still showing only 4 players.

[thorn gyro]

i made sure to make a backup of the save though just in case

[scenic orbit]

My CMD just wouldn't open/download or if it did would just quit.

[frosty gale]

it showed the correct amount for me when I only changed it server side

[scenic orbit]

Starting 100% fresh so no backups needed. Good call though.

[sharp falcon]

What's the go-to hosted service provider for 1.0 that's working ? I saw BisectHosting mentioned above

[tranquil wedge]

Thank you. Changed it there as well. No affect.

[thorn gyro]

i have no idea then tbh im rather new to hosting my own server so its all still new to me

[keen vortex]

i've had good luck with HostedByMe

[thorn gyro]

that weas just my fix

[keen vortex]

it's a small provider that runs on a computer on the other side from the room from me

[tranquil wedge]

No worries. thank you for the help!

[frosty gale]

change it server side for the desired effect

[velvet frost]

Anyone else getting this error?

[scenic orbit]

Epic Store one is really easy to use thankfully so I'll just use that.

[frosty gale]

it will report back whatever you set it when working

[tender thicket]

Expose 7777 on tcp and udp not just udp

[twilit fox]

alriightty.. I'm home... now lets see how this dedi server setup goes.

[quick mist]

A common cause for this is the server not being updated to also allow TCP port 7777 (only UDP 7777 was needed before). Check that?

[grave egret]

we had a dedicated server running last night, it was working. Today it says idle. Any ideas?

[velvet frost]

Checked it now and its working thanks peeps

[frigid flower]

so... my server's working, on other people's clients. mine is stuck on Not Authenticated with the server api error

[quick mist]

Rad

[tender thicket]

1.0 came out today so good chance it needs updated

[thorn gyro]

sounds good

[twilit fox]

the dedi hides files in .local?

[thorn gyro]

best of luck

[frigid flower]

is there a way to reauthenticate...?

[dense bobcat]

hey, silly question, where can i find a session ID?

[grave egret]

server was updated. Trying to TCP port 7777 forwarding

[zinc echo]

I set up a paid dedicated server through cybrancee, and i can connect to the server perfectly fine, but my buddy can't. he's showing in the server manager that the server is offline, and "not authenticated"

any ideas?

[frosty gale]

is that like a host provider

[grave egret]

is there a problem with ipv4?

[zinc echo]

yes

[frosty gale]

theres a problem with everything

[keen vortex]

ipv4 seems to work fine, ipv6 has been reported to be iffy

[restive citrus]

dedicated server is still crashing when i leave it, kicking everyone out and causing the need to restart. not sure how many others are experiencing this but i'm not sure why it's happening to me. others can come and go as they please.

[grave egret]

Can you walk me through how you did that? Our server just hit install on steam

[terse arch]

having issues with my dedicated server. was working with U8:
ports are forwarded
server can read/write to save file dir

[frosty gale]

welcome to the club

[keen vortex]

install a fresh goat

[terse arch]

reinstall dedicated server?

[frigid flower]

Manage Session > Session Settings. wiki has more details!

[keen vortex]

i don't know how you installed it in the first place so shrug

[terse arch]

i cant get into the "this server is unclaimed" window, but i can see my client pinging it, it just says "server offline"

[latent night]

Shouldn't my server be working?

[keen vortex]

read pinned messages

80% of the people asking questions in here will find their answers in the pinned messages

[terse arch]

thank you

im an idiot :D

[unique epoch]

sorry but im tryin to follow this aswell, so ive chaged it on my pc but what do i change on teh server pc?

[frosty gale]

FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer

same file

[dense bobcat]

that's not working

[frosty gale]

same text

[rain seal]

Just to make sure, the 7777 being TCP and UDP isn't related to the "linux only" issue right, it's completely different and is relevant on windows too right?

[lunar glade]

Recommendations for a host for a dedicated server? What host is everyone using?

[twilit fox]

screen -S FactoryServer -dm /home/steam/factoryserver/FactoryServer.sh -multihome=192.168.150.39 -ServerQueryPort=15000 -BeaconPort=15001 -Port=15002 -log -unattended``` hm

[warm flax]

@lunar glade I used GPORTAL, they were good.

[twilit fox]

goodbye long launch options

[warm flax]

Was looking at spinning up one now for 1.0 if there arent any bad things going on lol

[unique epoch]

my files only have windows not windowsserver is that the one?

[hardy gale]

What Dedicated Server hosting sites would people recommend? (Oceana/AU, ~2 people)

[frosty gale]

on the server side?

[unique epoch]

yeah on my pc thats running the server

[terse arch]

still stuck in Server name pending after applying the fix in pinned messages, any ideas? its listening correctly.

[frosty gale]

in the server folder

[rain seal]

You'll dislike that answer but... do you really need dedicated server?
Will you both always be playing together?

[frigid flower]

under Session ID> Show? what's not working, getting the session id or conencting successfully with it?

[twilit fox]

-log and -unattended no longer needed either?

[hardy gale]

No, that's the problem, My friend has trouble when his computer hosts the game but my computer is not always going to be online to host the game, The player list may increase with more friends so its also preparing for that

[frigid flower]

probably not

[twilit fox]

then you need dedicated hardware

[rain seal]

k, k. Then I don't know, sorry. I'm self-hosting the dedicated server

[frigid flower]

i don't think u need a session id. connect through "server manager", not "join game"

[zealous oracle]

onboarding in tier 2?

[dense bobcat]

k well, all my friend is missing is a encryption token at this point @zealous oracle @frigid flower

[hardy gale]

the thing is cost vs time, Im asking as I know neither of us is gonna upgrade anything and getting something new made would take more time and cost rather than renting a new server (due to location)

[dense bobcat]

i'm hosting on a second pc in home, and my friend cannot log in

[frosty gale]

they need to join from server manager

[dense bobcat]

and before you ask, yes, 7777 has been forwarded on both machine and modem

[unique epoch]

in guess i keep finding the wrong one because i can only find the folder called windows and when i change game to have

[/Script/Engine.GameNetworkManager]
TotalNetBandwidth=500000
MaxDynamicBandwidth=120000
MinDynamicBandwidth=100000

[Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=16

it still doesnt work

[frigid flower]

search for encryption token in the discord, that's all i know

[frosty gale]

show the folder path

[unique epoch]

C:\Users\Lukec\AppData\Local\EpicGamesLauncher\Saved\Config\Windows

[frosty gale]

thats not the server folder

[unique epoch]

wheres the server one? or how do i find it

[frosty gale]

the install path of the server

[unique epoch]

im sorry man im a bit slow with all this, how do i find that?

[frosty gale]

where did you install the server

[unique epoch]

through epic games

[dense bobcat]

we figured it out

[frosty gale]

alright someone else gotta help you then

[dense bobcat]

cheers

[frosty gale]

epic games launcher isnt allowed on my computer

so no idea how to use it

[whole crown]

For steam there would be 2 separate folders, 1 for game client and 1 for server

[quick mist]

then is it really your computer?

[whole crown]

I would presume Epic does the same?

[frosty gale]

yes ?

[unique epoch]

no worries thanks for trying

[quick mist]

then give yourself permission

[frosty gale]

no

[frigid flower]

hahahah

sorry if i missed it but was there an answer to the Not Authenticated message (after claiming the server?) is this a bug?

server's definitely going, other people have joined, but my client seems to be locked out somehow

[tight orbit]

Trying to host a server via docker in unraid but it seems to just be crashing over and over again:

[midnight wren]

Is there anything my friends trying to join need to do to join the server? Do they also go to server manager?

[quick mist]

In the pins there's a possible fix for issues in Docker

[frosty gale]

use Wolveix's docker image

[tranquil wedge]

[/Script/Engine.GameNetworkManager]
TotalNetBandwidth=500000
MaxDynamicBandwidth=120000
MinDynamicBandwidth=100000

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=8

Updated server settings.

[frosty gale]

it worked?

[tranquil wedge]

This worked.

bruh

[tranquil wedge]

I had a typo in the script.

[tight orbit]

there is unfortunately no unraid community app for his docker image:

[frosty gale]

is there no way to install it yourself

[tight orbit]

There is but Ill need to add all the parameters manually I believe

Paths, config, all that

[rain dragon]

Sems Docker is updated and working

[forest basin]

wish it was for me 😦

[frosty gale]

well thats what happens when you choose docker I guess

[tight orbit]

ill give that one a go

[tranquil wedge]

Good luck everyone. Stay satisfatory.

[short blade]

What parameters are used in the new dedicated server/which ones have been deprecated? I want to update my server GUI tool

[tight orbit]

better than running it off a main PC and having to keep it up 24/7

[twilit fox]

we need TCP&UDP forwarded or only tcp now?

[frosty gale]

both

[rain dragon]

port 7777 will need to be TCP and UDP

[twilit fox]

10-4

[cinder atlas]

I am using this one, hes on this discord, and I can confirm it works on my unraid

[keen vortex]

why does a docker container need an "unraid community app"

[tight orbit]

They have prefilled paramaters

And documentation

[keen vortex]

the docker container is incredibly easy to use

[cinder atlas]

I changed from Host to Bridge, and adjusted the RAM on it, thats it

[short flower]

tryna run on Pterodactyl with a clean install, constantly says server appears to be offline. any fixes?

no firewall blocking it

[keen vortex]

why do you need prefilled parameters, just copy the docker-compose.yml that is provided in teh docs

[twilit fox]

why is my ping 20ms wtf..

[frigid flower]

oh looks like some people were saying like 7 hours ago you have to reenable ipv6, how do you do that?

[twilit fox]

it should be <1

[cinder atlas]

where are you hosting it?

[muted light]

i have a decent PC, would it be worth setting up my own dedicated server or just paying a bit for a hosting service?

[frosty gale]

you still have to keep your pc on 24/7

[inner stump]

If I host my own dedicated server can it work with both Steam and Epic clients?

[twilit fox]

local lan.

[keen vortex]

yes

[tight orbit]

This ^

Unless you have a server, Id reccomend a VPS

[keen vortex]

i don't understand people who turn off computers

[muted light]

i leave my pc on 90% of the time anyways so leaving it running shouldnt be an issue

[twilit fox]

or just getting a server [: build one or buy a 9 - 12th gen optiplex

[cinder atlas]

mine on unraid is running about 14ms, so I would say its not a major issue, its fine for me. and I would expect <1 on a localhost, but not anywhere else

[zealous oracle]

What are yall running dedis on? (not local dedis)

[tight orbit]

I don't need to wear down my 3080 when im not even home...

[keen vortex]

the only time i turn a computer off is to move it or to do something on its hardware

[muted light]

is it a strain on your internet to be running it?

[frosty gale]

no

[zealous oracle]

Digital Ocean droplets good enough?

[twilit fox]

I find it odd.. did you connect to it from the external IP, or local addess?

[keen vortex]

your 3080 is in sleep mode when you're not using it

[tight orbit]

The longer your a component is running the faster the hardware will degrade, just how electronics work

[keen vortex]

it's actually harder on it to turn it on and off

[tight orbit]

Especially with the capacitors on big cards like mine

[cinder atlas]

good point, think I am using the internal

[tight orbit]

That's just plain false

[keen vortex]

but hey, i've only worked in the ndustry for 38 years, i don't know what i'm talking about

[tight orbit]

Everyone is a "professional"

[keen vortex]

powercycling is hard on equipment

[zealous oracle]

Pragmatically... No. But yes

[keen vortex]

i don't think there's a material difference in equipment lifetime between idle power and off

[twilit fox]

I used external ip.. so it hits my gateway and bounces back. well.. it's up and I'm in.. other than -Port=x that was painless lol

[frosty gale]

man this drives been on for a while

[zealous oracle]

That's not what they said

[frigid flower]

did you end up having to do aything with ipv6

[cinder atlas]

With mechanical drives (not that many of us have them), the most common point of failure is on startup, or shutdown of the drive, once its running its fine

[keen vortex]

yea it pretty much is

[tight orbit]

SSDs alone are good reason, they have a limited lifespan and if you just leave them on all the time they will die quicker

[zealous oracle]

I responded to the wrong person lmao

[keen vortex]

SSDs actually need to be on or they degrade faster

[frigid flower]

is it harder on them to disconnect from power and reconnect? or to hit F to dismantle and rebuild

[keen vortex]

i have papers on this

[tight orbit]

I don't know where you are getting information that dirrectly refutes all my points, but whatever

[keen vortex]

SSD will last 6 months on a shelf, last 5 years powered

[frosty gale]

my western digital games drive has been on for 1.8 years

[zealous oracle]

complete bs

Most SSDs you buy have been on a shelf over 6 months

[twilit fox]

no, and apparently it's still enabled.

[tight orbit]

Complete and total bullshit

[keen vortex]

the drives run continuous maintenance to refresh the data, which onyl happens while powered

[quick mist]

play nice y'all

[short flower]

I agree with rome, I am learning about this stuff atm cuz of my college course

[keen vortex]

without power the little dat acells slowly leak and over about six months you'll have lost enough of them that the drive won't be able to recover even with ECC

[forest basin]

back to satisfactory servers.. Anyone still having issues running a server on docker with portainer?

[keen vortex]

the drive will still work but the data will be lost

[zealous oracle]

I was going to refute this but instead... Why don't you just post a reputable source that says ssds die in 5 years powered, and totally just ignore dying in 6 months on a shelf

[spiral lion]

is anyone having this kind of error? when someone leave the server, the whole connection went down and can't connect to it anymore.

[quick mist]

Different loads affect different hardware differently. SSDs are nonvolatile but the nonvolatile storage is more likely to "bit rot" when unpowered when compared to spinning platters or, for that matter, tape.

[keen vortex]

can't post links on this server

[short flower]

5 years would be a rough estimate, it depends on build quality etc but in general, they dont last extremely long

[keen vortex]

anyway i reasearched this a couple years ago for like "work" and got enough data to convince an entire department

[zealous oracle]

They degrade they don't die

You slowly lose capacity

[keen vortex]

yeah the bits fade

the rate depends on which type of SSD it is

TLC decays faster than DLC or SLC

[zealous oracle]

I see the argument

[short flower]

why do you think for a NAS you use NAS HDD's instead of SSD's ;D

[keen vortex]

if you want long tterm storage you use spinnies or tape

[zealous oracle]

Yea a totally full SSD won't last jack

[keen vortex]

SSDs are not suitable for long term cold-soak storage

[quick mist]

with NAS you usually have RAID or other multichannel things to get past the speed issues spinning platters bring into play.

[unique epoch]

i downloaded it through steam so i can maybe get some help again if possible. this is driving me crazy

[short flower]

having issues in docker on pterodactyl

[keen vortex]

but if you keep the drive powered then the automatic scan runs and the wiggly bits get shoved back before they escape (almost always) so the drive will hold its data for years

[quick mist]

for most consumer usage scenarios, SSDs are not volatile enough to raise problems from "bit rot" before other issues cause them to need replacement

[short flower]

yeah, with servers its a different matter

[keen vortex]

yeah you want to balance performance against durability and price

[unique epoch]

would you mind if i called quickly?

[frosty gale]

i cannot call

[quick mist]

You may select at most two:

• Fast
• Cheap
• Reliable

[short flower]

my entire pc is #1 and #3

[keen vortex]

ain't that the truth

and so often you end up with none

[unique epoch]

ive done that step on my current computer and hvae changed the same to have what was posted

just struggling to find that file even when doing that since all i have are engine and usergamesetting

[frosty gale]

in the WindowsServer folder

you need to make Game.ini

turn on file extensions and create it

[unique epoch]

how do i turn on file extenstions?

[cyan venture]

because i cant find literally ANYTHING online about this
is there a way on windows 11 to find RECENTLY added firewall rules?

i hate to ask here

but it is for my dedicated server

[tender thicket]

Prob have to do some ps scripting

[forest basin]

steamcmd wont even load for me lmao

[quick mist]

uncheck this:

[short flower]

steamcmd is just shitting itself

[unique epoch]

that lets me view them but i still cant sett create or is it a text document?

[eternal vine]

I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it, what is going on?

[frosty gale]

text document

with the file extension ini

[unique epoch]

done

now do i try loading it up again?

[inner stump]

I got my dedicated server running and created a new game via the GUI but it says max players is 4. I searched this forum and saw to add config to Engine.ini
[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=8

i restarted my server, created a new game but that had no effect. max player count is still 4. Anybody know how to bump that up?

[civic lantern]

have you ever used mods

[frosty gale]

did you paste the text

[eternal vine]

yes

[cyan venture]

nvm i finally figured it out

after 6 hours

[unique epoch]

yeah the one this [/Script/Engine.GameNetworkManager]
TotalNetBandwidth=500000
MaxDynamicBandwidth=120000
MinDynamicBandwidth=100000

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=8

[civic lantern]

uninstall SMM and delete the mods folder. you find this by right clicking in steam, clicking browse local files, click factorygame. mods folders hould be in there

[frosty gale]

yea save the file and try starting it up

[unique epoch]

thanks i will start it now

[eternal vine]

there is no mod folder but i will uninstall SMM

[inner stump]

thank you!

[fallen glacier]

I've set up a SF dedicated server just fine in the past but am unable to conect from out of the network - indicating it's probably a firewall or config issue.

I'm hosting from a linux machine on my network. I can connect using the internal IP but not the external IP.

Firewall is the same as it was in update 8, though I've made sure that UDP and TCP are open on 7777.

Am I missing anything?

[short flower]

I had the same issue

[eternal vine]

still crashing

what do i do

[short flower]

tried a ton of fixes, couldnt figure out anything

[unique epoch]

If i could kiss you i would! Thanks heaps! one more question, do i need to do anything else or can my friends just join now

[eternal vine]

i hate seeing this stupid fucking screen

[frosty gale]

I think youre fine as is

as long as the server itself says that that many players can join

[civic lantern]

I am not convinced you disabled mods completely. You've been into the FactoryGame folder, which contains Binaries, Configs, Content, Plugins

[eternal vine]

i uninstalled the mod manager and there is no mod folder

[civic lantern]

... in the FactoryGame folder which contains other directories called Binaries, Configs, Content, Plugins ?

[unique epoch]

yeah server says 8 now

[eternal vine]

yes

[plucky edge]

was there an 'encryption token missing' fix? Haven't kept up with it, just got the server running 11 hours later

[dapper seal]

i'm havign the same issue.

[civic lantern]

I would delete the Plugins folder, get Steam to re-verify the game files

[eternal vine]

k

[short flower]

maybe we should try multihome bind to external ip

[dapper seal]

how do we do that?

[short flower]

parameter -multihome=(external ip)

[civic lantern]

I'm not aware of any option that allows you to specify which interface to connect to

[frosty gale]

doesnt multihome break servers

[civic lantern]

multihome no longer exists

[short flower]

no clue, its on the wiki

[fallen glacier]

ill try that now, but thought that was just for ipv6

[civic lantern]

working outward from the server... the game server has to be listening on the server computer's LAN IP address port 7777. to verify this on linux, you type lsof -ni | grep 7777 and you should see *:7777 if you see 127.0.0.1:7777 you need to enable ipv6 in the server operating system,

[short flower]

and if i see (external ip):7777?

[civic lantern]

i'd be surprised if you saw (any ip):7777 and if you are on a NATted LAN, you absolutely would not see (external IP):7777

[short flower]

[civic lantern]

if you see *:7777 then the server is listening to the correct interface. from your browser you should be able to access the https:// (server IP):7777

I don't understand, your server is directly connected to the internet?

[short flower]

it has a web dash?

[short flower]

yup

Hetzner Root Server

[civic lantern]

then you should have corrected my proviso"if you are on a NATted LAN"

[crystal sentinel]

windows or linux?

[eternal vine]

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY IS IT STILL FUCKING CRASHING I SWAR TO GOT I TRIED EVERYTHING

[short flower]

its not NATed

[civic lantern]

the fact it is listening on 157777 and 15000 is extremely suspicious

[dapper seal]

did oyu try that

[crystal sentinel]

validate the files on steam

[civic lantern]

wait, you are showing me what docker is listening to. that is useless

[eternal vine]

i did, 3 times...

[short flower]

thats the output given by the command

[crystal sentinel]

maybe you loading a corrupted save ?

[eternal vine]

no when i even start the game it crashes

[fallen glacier]

multihome did not work, failed to load the save and kept boot looping

[short flower]

rip

[civic lantern]

does the containing server have ipv6 enabled? nc -z ::1 22 && echo yes

[crystal sentinel]

updated graphics card drivers ? also try to install it on a different drive

[short flower]

yup

i have a /64 allocated

[civic lantern]

by some mechanism you need to get into the docker container and identify what the server executable is listening to

[short flower]

alr, i'll bash into it

[fallen glacier]

Hmm, this isn't working. Not sure this is the right endpoint:
{"errorCode": "errors.com.epicgames.httpserver.route_handler_not_found", "errorMessage": ""}

[tardy quarry]

@civic lantern Any idea on this? Getting this error when trying to launch from Steam:

"Plugin 'OnlineServicesEOS' failed to load because module 'OnlineServicesEOS' could not be loaded. There may be an operating system error or the module may not be properly set up."

Already tried

Change name to .exe
Reinstall the game
Verify integrity from Steam
Parameters -vulcan and -dx11
There is NO mod folder in my PC
Uninstall manually

I dont know what else to do

[opaque fiber]

What is the GUI supposed to look like

when I start up the dedicated server from my steam library

I just get the CMD

not the GUI

[short flower]

the servers logs show this so it should be listening on my external ip LogServer: Display: Server API listening on '0.0.0.0:7777' (Standalone)

[civic lantern]

i have no idea, that's about Epic

[quick mist]

That's indicating you're able to talk to the server which is good, and a valid connetivity test.

[civic lantern]

I have seen that, when it was clearly not actually binding to ipv4. check with netstat or lsof

[short flower]

lsof isnt in the container, tried it already

lets give netstat a go

[fallen glacier]

That's only with the internal IP though, still no dice with the external IP.

[opaque fiber]

Ok seriously am I doing something wrong, the GUI doesn't seem to la8unch for me for some reason. CMD does instead.

[civic lantern]

from the box itself, you should be able to curl http:// lan-ip:7777 and get a cert failure. i don't what the lan IP would be for docker. localhost is, i think, unacceptable

[short flower]

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:7777 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 45/./Engine/Binarie

[quick mist]

okay so your next test is to try that from another host on the LAN to the external IP

[unreal flume]

So I'm seeing there's been some changes to the dedicated server. I just reloaded my stack in portainer but I'm not able to connect. I need some advice on my docker compose script. Any environment variables I should change or add? I'm running this on a local home server (docker+portainer on ubuntu), if that helps.

services:
    satisfactory-server:
        container_name: 'satisfactory-server'
        hostname: 'satisfactory-server'
        image: 'wolveix/satisfactory-server:latest'
        ports:
            - '7777:7777/udp'
            - '15000:15000/udp'
            - '15777:15777/udp'
        volumes:
            - '/home/earthserpent/games/satisfactory/config:/config'
        environment:

            - PUID=1000

              memory: 16G
            reservations:
              memory: 8G

[civic lantern]

what is that output

[short flower]

thats from netstat -plnt | grep ':7777'

[civic lantern]

i don't know the output of netstat by heart, what the fourth column is. as i said, i think localhost is unacceptable.

can i just say, debugging in docker sucks

[eternal vine]

can this play satisfactory 1.0? it worked for early acsess (im on a laptop)

[short flower]

from what i see online, this is the format
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name

[fallen glacier]

Oh that's what I'm already doing. This is running on a linux box on my netwotk that I have SSH'd into.

I can connect to it via my windows machine, but only via the internal IP meaning I can't invite players... which I have been able to do in the past.

Seems obvious that this is a firewall issue... though all the relevant ports are open.

[short flower]

worked with it for years, its horrible ;D

[cyan venture]

So something strange is happening now, now my server works, right? My friends cannot even see the server online anymore even though it's been allowed through the firewall (this includes another computer that is in this very house)

[civic lantern]

i have no idea why you'd use it to run a 1.0 on day 1

[short flower]

friend wanted a server up, thought i'd give it a shot

[gilded moat]

Anyone having issue on server being created, it starts you off with teir 2?

[quick mist]

I'd be happy to test for you if you are okay sharing the WAN IP address

[short flower]

gonna try a docker img that was updated 3 hrs ago

[cyan venture]

anyone else having a similar issue?

[civic lantern]

let me just outline the issue as i've figured it out today. if the factorygame server does not have an ipv6 interface around, it will fail to bind to anything but loopback. the workarounds are 1. make sure ipv6 is working or 2. use something like rinetd to forward connections to loopback. there is probably some docker bullshit that will let you route connections to loopback, i have no idea

[short flower]

could be that pterodactyl isnt providing ipv6 which i would expect tbh

[civic lantern]

fucking chroot on steriods, it's not a VM system. i hate it

[short flower]

i prefer vm's too lol

[faint island]

Ya...I have a few VMs running through esxi that I keep up, always see these issues with docker and whatever else, makes me stay clear of it lol

[gilded moat]

If you need help setting up your server, I can offer my services for ya

[opaque fiber]

So

No help on the GUI?

[alpine dawn]

I assume these build numbers mean that my server did in fact update to 1.0 correctly.

LogInit: Build: ++FactoryGame+rel-main-1.0.0-CL-365306
LogInit: Engine Version: 5.3.2-365306+++FactoryGame+rel-main-1.0.0
LogInit: Compatible Engine Version: 5.3.2-365306+++FactoryGame+rel-main-1.0.0

[subtle sapphire]

go look on the github for that docker image, the author made the fixes for 1.0

[civic lantern]

From your computer in that house, can you access with a browser https:// ip-your-friends-use:7777 it should produce a certificate warning

[crystal sentinel]

yap, 1.0

[unreal flume]

I got it working by removing the 15000 and 15777 ports on UDP and adding 7777 on TCP.
This compose file worked for me on my local network. Just wanted to let people know.

services:
    satisfactory-server:
        container_name: 'satisfactory-server'
        hostname: 'satisfactory-server'

[opaque fiber]

🫰

[unreal flume]

maybe someone can pin this if that's helpful.

[faint island]

I'm seeing the same, just the regular cmd box not the new gui... I figured I'll figure it out later as the server still functions

[opaque fiber]

Thanks for the response lol. Fair enough, I guess I wait.

[twilit fox]

Just a quick question, are the saves stored in volumes? I guess that's a dumb question but I'm pretty new to docker

[opaque fiber]

I'm not sure what to tell my friends to connect to though as I don't see a config file anywhere or know what to type in to check my ip for them to join

so for now 🤷‍♂️

[forest basin]

I had a really hard time getting this running in portainer. eventually dropped portainer and created the container via compose

[hybrid condor]

Is the general consensus play multiplayer and then move save files over to the dedicated server once the patch comes out tomorrow?

[crystal sentinel]

buy a server from some random host, problem solved

[whole crown]

Welp let's hope patch fixes everything tomorrow, managed to get it running for myself with ipv4 but no luck showing the server to outside world.

[opaque fiber]

I have my own seperate pc, why would I do this

[twilit fox]

clearly it's not good enough.. your pc needs to be rackmount :p

[crystal sentinel]

because it comes ready to play, its windows or linux ?

[subtle sapphire]

You could use something like playit.gg to have a secured public tunnel out

[cyan venture]

do you mean that the connection isn't secure?

[unreal flume]

You can drop any compose code into a stack and deploy via the deploy button at the bottom of the screen.
Stacks can also pull compose files from Git repo's if you want to keep them automatically updated with version control.

[cyan venture]

or i mean, connection is not private or whatever

[civic lantern]

basically the same, y es

[forest basin]

Yeah. I did that and for some reason the server never worked.

[twilit fox]

should it?

[opaque fiber]

I don't care about the visibility of my server, I'm not a SEC mans and I'm only giving it to firends for about a wek before i shut it down

[cyan venture]

so what does it mean

i did it, what should it mean

[opaque fiber]

I think you guys are missing the question I asked

what information

do I provide to my friends

for them to connect

[civic lantern]

that is a failure to establish a connection, and 192.168 is not the ip your friends use

[opaque fiber]

thats LL iwant to know, and where to find it/change it

[twilit fox]

your public ip and port

[opaque fiber]

thx

[unreal flume]

might also have to do with how you've set up your network.

[opaque fiber]

👍

[forest basin]

on the same subnet as my desktop

[civic lantern]

if someone can hit https:// ip:7777 and obtain a certificate warning, then the satisfactory game client should work with that ip/port combination. so this is confirmed by the fact you can access that IP and port. however your friends cannot. this suggests to me that your ISP is filtering incoming connections, at least on port 7777

[humble ivy]

does it cost money to host dedicated servers?

[civic lantern]

is your computer on the same network as the server, and they are both behind a NAT gatway?

[cyan venture]

im a baby when it comes to servers, what should i do about it

[quick mist]

Nothing is free.

[humble ivy]

Nice

[unreal flume]

This might not be news to most, but anyone running a server with the intention of keeping production going 24/7 should make sure to uncheck the Auto-Pause option. Just a friendly PSA.

[eternal vine]

I GOT IT TO WORK!

[quick mist]

At the end of the day, someone needs to pay the electric and ISP bill.

[civic lantern]

if your ISP is preventing you from accepting incoming connections over clear networking, you need to upgrade your network reality. My suggestion is zerotier. it is an edge vpn, and I can talk you through setting it up

[opaque fiber]

yes

[crystal sentinel]

yes, but you can find cheap ones

[humble ivy]

hm, ok.

[civic lantern]

visit myipaddress.com and get the IP. you should be able to connect with satisfactory to that IP port 7777 . if you cannot you need to open a hole in your firewall and then you are your ISP's mercy as to whether they actually allow incoming connections

[quick mist]

If you're on a command line and have access to dig, you can use this command to find your actual WAN IP to give to others: dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com

[tight orbit]

https://gist.github.com/7eventy7/7e1d174ab698c5f8a7fd24f30c5ec998

Unfortunately that container is having some errors as well, any help is much appreciated, you guys have been great so far

[twilit fox]

oh hey.. that'd intresting..

[civic lantern]

that is desirable. I don't know what port 15000 is supposed to do, if at all, though

[twilit fox]

I'm not using the default port.

for everyone else it's 7777.. for me it's different.. well I don't know if I really like that.. I'm going to lock it down by setting a firewall rule for the IP of the people who play on my server with me.

[civic lantern]

yeah, so if you have the knowledge to do that, you should be in business. do you know what's involved

[twilit fox]

for a firewall rule that says allow <friends IP> 7777 on my gateway, yeah xd

I'm a self-taught networking noob.

[reef glade]

I feel like I'm going crazy, ports are forwarded, checking websites verify it, application is let through my firewall, server is showing and ping is showing, but API issue still

[opaque charm]

Is there any documentation for the API?

[short flower]

saw this on a docker one https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server/commit/59f700d605672b06669b06572583b441e07a7255

[quick mist]

it's bundled with the game client

[short flower]

-ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any

this param can apparently fix the bind

[opaque charm]

Where can I find it?

[tulip sparrow]

I was having API issues and then I read the pinned post and it fixed my issues

[civic lantern]

nothing wrong with that. i'm going to talk to myself about zerotier, maybe it will intrigue people enough. because all of that firewall rule, hole punching stuff is just gone with it. it's an edge VPN, which means that is installed on any computer that wants to join that VPN. in fact the VPN can be compiled into a C library and only that program on the computer will be in the zerotier. it is free for up to 25 clients. this is what the admin panel for allowing new clients in .

this is the rules language

[opaque charm]

Found it

[cyan venture]

thats not a decision for me to make, that's my dad's
but regardless, we have a cs2 server and regularly have 10+ people on it at once, and many other games
not sure why it'd be failing with satisfactory

[twilit fox]

Yeah, the only issue with that is that gives whoever you let on your zero tier access to the whole lan doesn't it? I like having more control. :/

[civic lantern]

200 listnetworks <nwid> <name> <mac> <status> <type> <dev> <ZT assigned ips>
200 listnetworks 52b337794f49702d gee_gee 2e:af:c5:61:b0:ff OK PRIVATE ztfp6h4clc 10.147.18.191/24

[civic lantern]

it could be cs2 relies on ports that are not blocked. if you DM me your IP and can let you know what I see when I try to connect to 7777

[twilit fox]

like you can join my server, that is all you have access to.. if I give you a wireguard config.. it's on a serperate vlan with firewall rules.. so you only have access to what I want you to have access to.

[civic lantern]

no, it provides only acceess to the computer in the ZT, and according to the rules you provide.

[twilit fox]

ah, that's neat. I mostly saw it as a tool for punching through cgnats.

[civic lantern]

so in my rules case, i allow port 22 for my own purpose, but i can keep it to just game server traffic. i allow 80/443 because i have plex, sonarr, radarr available to my friends

[civic lantern]

it's like a flying car version of networking. it relies on port 9993 for control and high udp for traffic. if both computers can udp to a moon, the moon proxies the traffic (encrypted so the moon doesn't have to be trusted), and if one computer can open a UPNP hole in the gateway it just does that and there's no use of the moon

a moon being the analogy for a thing that two people on earth can both see

[tight orbit]

Trying to run a docker container called wolveix/satisfactory-server in unraid but I'm encountering some errors. If anyone could take a look I would be very appreciative! Cheers

https://gist.github.com/7eventy7/7e1d174ab698c5f8a7fd24f30c5ec998

[twilit fox]

and if both are behind a cgnat, it uses the moon as a proxy?

[civic lantern]

yeah, if the cgnat doesn't do upnp

[thorny frigate]

also happened to me. is there a fix

[civic lantern]

it figures out the topology on the first packet and then just uses that for the rest, so the first packet is under a second, and the rest are the usual for your connection

[twilit fox]

I had read a bit on zero-tier, and then I ended up just going with my own wireguard server.. so for you friends, have you considered setting up something like a pi on their network with wireguard, or zerotier on the pi and a proxy manager so each device they want to access your hosted services on doesn't need zerotier?

they would just point plex at the local ip of the pi.

and the pi would proxy with nginx into zerotier or wireguard.

[civic lantern]

that sounds bonkers tbh

[cyan venture]

where do i change the max players btw?

trying to see it in old messages but its not really clear

[civic lantern]

if i wanted a vpn, i'd just use a vpn

[twilit fox]

It works though. beats setting up zerotier or wireguard on every device in their home.

[civic lantern]

it's a lot of friends, my kid's friends, etc

device by device has been fine

[vagrant turtle]

Will the new patch fix this spam? heh

[twilit fox]

you cut off the good stuff :p

[civic lantern]

for a small number of people, some thing that lives on their network is conceivable, but i have something like 8 households who can poke hotblack over zt

[vagrant turtle]

bwahaha 😛

[twilit fox]

and probably not, best way is just to make sure you have something like logrotate setup if you're logging to disk.

[vagrant turtle]

this is in a screen, so no need to worry. not logging to anything

[cyan venture]

okay so i just got a friend to try and join outside of the local network, and for her it said "encryption token missing"

[civic lantern]

your friend should use the server manager UI like you do, the "join" screen isn't working right today

[cyan venture]

okay so she can join now

i guess its just people inside the house?

idk

whatever

[civic lantern]

i don't follow

glad it works tho

[cyan venture]

theres a lot, but tl;dr
somebody inside the house couldn't connect with the public ip, had to be internal

[twilit fox]

yeah, you'll have to port forward for over the internet.

[glass star]

Some Windows based servers still having issues accessing over the internet

[cyan venture]

question, can you increase maxplayers without having to restart server?

[cyan venture]

i can tell 😭

been dealing with it all day

[twilit fox]

Sucks to suck ig [:

[cyan venture]

seems to work now though

[celest dust]

Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!!!

[tough mesa]

anyone know if there is a way to create saves via pterodactyl schedules?

[icy pagoda]

is steam coop not working right now?

[civic lantern]

was nuking the plugins folder the answer?

to copy over the current boilerplate material from the SMM discord:

1. (Known issue TargetRename1.0 / smmsteam1.0 / Temp1.0PluginFailedToLoad) 1.0 has renamed the game target, preventing SMM from being able to automatically uninstall mods.
2. To remove mods, delete the FactoryGame/Mods folder from your game install directory manually. Here's how to find the game install directory: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#Files_GameInstall
3. SMM still won't work! You have to launch the game from Epic/Steam for now. Close SMM and don't use it again until we announce that mods are updated.
4. If you are still having issues, also delete the Plugins folder then verify your game files to restore it: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#_how_do_i_verify_my_game_files
5. If you're still having issues, make sure to post text or a screenshot of the next type of error you get!

[quick mist]

Anyone expecting mods to work on the day of a major release is... let's say excessively optimistic

[rich sequoia]

did the process for setting up linux servers change at all, i know the port is down to 1 now, anything else?

[keen vortex]

to be fair, the project i work on (dfhack, a modding framework for dwarf fortress) usually updates within a half hour of a dwarf fortress release

[quick mist]

2 ports. TCP/7777 and UDP/7777

[quick mist]

yes because Urist McDfhack is hyper-industrious like any good dorf.

[keen vortex]

i haven't slept in two years

(it also helps that bay12 almost always gives us early access to release builds)

[quick mist]

that assuredly helps a lot

[gentle cave]

In my experience from having my home gaming servers within my network is that anyone else connecting to said server that is also on that network (inside the house) has to connect via the internal private IP for the server, and not the public IP of the router. You can setup loopback, but it's easier to just use the private IP.

[quick mist]

a lot of (usually cheap) routers don't do well with "rubber-banding" connections from the inside back through the port forwarding packet filter.

[naive whale]

How much of a performance improvement could one expect to see connecting to a server on a different pc instead of running the game single player from your pc?

[quick mist]

the only real answer is "it depends on the PC(s) in question"

[keen vortex]

i have my gateway set up to do this, but my gateway is a linux box and i had to do some kinda twitchy things to make it work

[acoustic pike]

are there still issues with dedicated servers being accessible outside of local LAN? I've added the parameter in the pinned comment but my server remains inaccessible over WAN.

[quick mist]

I had it working well with Shorewall back in the day but when I finally migrated to ufw it all fell apart and I ended up just rolling split-brain DNS to keep internal traffic internal.

[keen vortex]

bacjk when i did PIX administration it was impossible to do this because PIXes would absoolutely not route a packet out the same interface it came in

[naive whale]

Got 3090ti, however I plan on dabbling in the game periodically using the Ally. Imagine I won't see much difference on the 3090 but the Ally I'm hoping can smooth it out a little.

[hardy gale]

I'm having trouble connecting to my Server, the port isn't 7777 (If I use the port it gives me it shows my ping) but cannot connect to the server API

[acoustic pike]

im probably just going to wait until they push the patch. i can't get past it saying my server is offline.

[eager glade]

im having that same problem

[twilit fox]

I guess network quality isn't adjustable?

[quick mist]

Server settings in the Server Manager

[twilit fox]

it's not letting me change it.

[hardy gale]

My server Says its online however I cannot ceonnect to the server API

[acoustic pike]

mine says offline and isn't binding to any IP. It just says 0.0.0.0 in the command line. I added in the argument suggested but no change.

[keen vortex]

0.0.0.0 just means "bind to everything"

[acoustic pike]

noted

[hardy gale]

Werid, I have an IP and a different port to 7777, but Im using a hosting service and I cant connect to the server API even though I have a ping

[acoustic pike]

well still not accessible. I host the server at another house and play on my laptop at my house.

[twilit fox]

did you foward BOTH TCP&UDP?

[acoustic pike]

i have verified the port is open and responsive, but nothing is connecting.

[acoustic pike]

yep. on both routers and it was automatically opened on the firewall for me upon launching the server.

[twilit fox]

ew upnp.

[keen vortex]

upnp a/k/a upwn

[frosty gale]

hey so whats a good company to go through for a server? like Bisect and such

[twilit fox]

are you sure upnp is allowing both tcp and udp?

[quick mist]

I like Linode but it's spendy for some, Chez

[acoustic pike]

yep.

[frosty gale]

how much would I be spending for like 8 people

[acoustic pike]

idk im tired and don't feel like going too deep into this when there is a known issue that is supposed to be patched soon.

[muted light]

where can i find info on how to set up a dedicated server?

[hardy gale]

Dope I'm having trouble connecting to my server that I paid for, do you know how to fix Failed to connect to server API?

[keen vortex]

read pins

[quick mist]

Check the pins, but the most common causes for it are IPv6, or not opening TCP/7777; a patch is likely to come tomorrow that will hopefully fix things for Ducker and IPv6 users

[quartz sinew]

Quick question but does anyone know why I can't increase player count for dedicated server? It keeps deleted the changes I make to the ini

[frosty gale]

make sure to save the file

[naive latch]

Can I transfer a save file with my homie and have him start an online world with it?

[hardy gale]

ok, Guess I'll have to wait

[quartz sinew]

yes I'm saving file

[vagrant turtle]

yes, the top pin is what helped fix my server. I'm on it now and having fun 🙂

[royal warren]

Is there a known fix for a client seeing "no encryptiontoken specified"

[vagrant turtle]

about the ini entry

[frosty gale]

%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames

do windows+r and run this, compress the folder and send it to him somehow then have him unzip it in the same area

then he can upload it to a server

[quick mist]

try shutting down the server, then editing the file? the server might be overwriting its last known configuration

[naive latch]

You're a good man, thank you

[inner ember]

My server said it's restarting in 60 minutes but I didn't set that up. How do I tell it not to?

[quick mist]

connect to servers using the Server Manager

[keen vortex]

ducker 🤣

[quartz sinew]

You might be right. I'll go through task manager and make sure everything is shut down

[royal warren]

Thank you. I will tell them to use that!

[frosty gale]

could you send me a link to the Linodi hosting thing? I can't seem to find it

[keen vortex]

the server automatically restarts periodically. this is not configurable and is for your own good, you don't want to disable it

[twilit fox]

sigh... that didn't take long

[inner ember]

I want to it to restart in the hours I'm not playing, not in the middle of my session >_<

[quick mist]

I can't post links here but it's linode followed by .com.

[frosty gale]

thanks

[lusty halo]

I am trying to set up a server on ubuntu as per the instructions on the wiki and when I try and connect in-game I get the error cannot connect to server API

[quick mist]

the wiki is out of daye

[lusty halo]

are there better instructions

[quick mist]

you need to also open connections for TCP/7777

[lusty halo]

as well as udp

[short blade]

has anyone been able to authenticate with the https api yet?

[quick mist]

yes that's what "also" implies. Further, if you're using the -multihome argument, it is no longer a Thing.

[quick mist]

I have not authenticated it but I have successfully run queries against it

[tender thicket]

I havent looked much into it, do we have a scope as to what the API is going to be used for?

[quick mist]

yes, the doc is bundled with the game client

the API is rather extensive

[tender thicket]

Will it mostly be queries or will we actually be able to manipulate the game thru API calls

ooh

ill have to look

[short blade]

Do you mine helping me with it? I'm trying to get the healthcheck, but I'm getting a 404.

[quick mist]

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

[short blade]

oh, I didn't have the api/v1 No wonder I was getting 404. I was able to auth with C# now

[quick mist]

rad!

That's about as much as I was able to play before I had to start work

looking forward to diving into the API and updating my UDP port tool tonight

[modern zinc]

seems like anytime I disconnect from my dedicated server (windows, local computer), the server will go offline instead of continue running, regardless of whether auto-pause is on or not. Anyone else having this issue or does anyone know a fix for this?

[short blade]

Want to see if I can get an API library started

[quick mist]

I have one I started in Python for the old API that only had one call up until today

[valid grove]

This is the correct game.ini config for more than 4 players, correct?
[/Script/Engine.GameNetworkManager]
TotalNetBandwidth=500000
MaxDynamicBandwidth=120000
MinDynamicBandwidth=100000

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=8

[tight orbit]

Is the default query port for satisfactory servers different than 7777?

Trying to add it as to a discord bot that monitors game servers
"Your satisfactory server satisfactory.sienna.casa:7777 is not queryable."

[quick mist]

the game runs all services on TCP/7777 and UDP/7777

The REST API is on TCP; the binary API is on UDP

[vital sparrow]

Are dedi servers working now? No more token issues? Been at work all day and just checking in as search didn’t get me anything concrete.

[frosty gale]

should I open a server right now or should I wait till the fix?

[quick mist]

Things are working for some better than others; a hotfix is still expected on the morrow

[tight orbit]

Still getting token issues but just ignoring them for now

[modern zinc]

The issue I'm having is that anytime I log out of my server, the server shuts off.

meaning it doesn't run when I'm not logged in

[tight orbit]

Weird, the bot isn't able to send queries :/

[modern zinc]

which defeats the purpose of me running it

[tight orbit]

Even locally:
Your satisfactory server 192.168.0.224:7777 is not queryable.

[quick mist]

do you mind sharing your public IP so that I can test?

[tight orbit]

I just tested the server with a friend and we could both connect, its just the query that I'm not able to get working

Can still share, but would rather over DM

[quick mist]

DM is fine

(closing the loop: issue was 7's bot trying to use the old API which no longer works)

[valid grove]

For anyone wondering. If you are running a dedicated server and trying to increase maxplayer size while owning the game on Epic, you don't go to %localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\Windows to increase max player size, you go to where the dedicated server is saved and create a game.ini file in Windows Server.
My install directory for the dedicated server was:
C:\Program Files\Epic Games\SatisfactoryDS\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer

The correct game.ini data is:
[/Script/Engine.GameNetworkManager]
TotalNetBandwidth=500000
MaxDynamicBandwidth=120000
MinDynamicBandwidth=100000
[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=8

Posting for all the others who might be struggling a little.

[lunar abyss]

My friend is getting timed out when loading into game on my dedicated server, and then the server crashes (no crash log output, but appears offline to everyone) Has anyone seen this?

[tender thicket]

Has any progress been made in regards to crashes when creating or loading a save on a dedicated server?

[lunar abyss]

I can connect via localhost, we can both see it up in server manager, but it times out and crashes when loading game

[tender thicket]

I am running pterodactyl within docker, which I presume doesn't help the situation

[quick mist]

There is a pinned message here with a solution that may help with Docker issues

[tender thicket]

the bind stuff? Yeah that doesnt help

[vital sparrow]

Alright I’ll standby for the hot fix.

[tender thicket]

I think thats only if you cant access the server in the first place, which I can

[vital sparrow]

Do these servers not use steam query?

[quick mist]

no

[tender thicket]

Its only when doing save stuff does the server shit the britches

[quick mist]

they use either a bespoke UDP protocol or a bespoke REST API

well I say "either" but both are in use

[kindred igloo]

Hello guys, anybody know how much ram i need to run a server and if you recommend any page to rent a server?

[vital sparrow]

Just out of curiosity is there anyway if using DNS name to make so the game spits out the name and not the IP in logs and join messages to other players? Idk if that’s a game by game thing or a steam cmd thing or even a thing at all.

[quick mist]

I'd reserve 8GiB or so. I use Linode for my hosting but I host a dozen servers.

[tender thicket]

I think min is 2gb? but its recommended all the way up to 12gb if its a large multiplayer server

[quick mist]

no, the logs will just have IPs.

[tender thicket]

Ive given my server 8 (if only it'd boot ;-;)

[vital sparrow]

And what about the join messages and things other players see?

IE when they time out it shows the IP.

[kindred igloo]

its to 4 players and i was thinking in 6gb

[quick mist]

messages players see in game are only player names. The IPs are shown to a player disconnecting because of a timeout are their own and the server IP

How to modify MaxPlayers in linuxServer

[minor sinew]

quick question on the server restart. not sure if this is a good tab to ask in.. but i'm going for it. lol.
we just started the server maybe 3 hours ago. the restart interval is 24 hours. the tip says it should restart every 24 hours. is that right? or does it restart on hour 24 of the day?

[short blade]

I have a really basic C# API available. Currently, just does a health check, and authenticates

https://github.com/micah686/SatisfactoryAPI

[lofty cradle]

Is this what you mean, I have it as well but gave up. Someone told me it might have something to do with vm’s and virtualisation. https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1283143957878018131

[cosmic axle]

anyone else having issues where the server doesnt seem to be unbinding the port when it closes?

[uncut steppe]

Hello.
Can I start a game with friends to play the intro to the second tier, and then transfer the save to a dedicated server. Will nothing break?

[quick mist]

uploading the save.. should work

[vital sparrow]

I've not had issues transferring and using saves even from other players

[short blade]

@quick mist
Thanks for your help earlier. I'm now able to get authenticated results:

[minor sinew]

it works. i've done it before. can be a pain sometimes.. but it's doable

[quick mist]

awesome, glad to have helped!

[hollow thorn]

@sturdy gust
you said: IT WORKS 🎉... image hash b02914a46b1d Available via the tags latest,dev,1.7.3,1.7 but when I run docker images --digests i get (attached Image)
when trying to connect I still get "Failed to connect to the server API"

[strange fulcrum]

are there any special considerations i should make when creating save backups of a running server? or just copy the folder any time?

[quick mist]

other than "don't copy it when there's a save in progress" nothing comes to mind

[tender thicket]

Yeah that sounds exactly like my issue, I think we are just gonna have to sit on it and wait to see what happens for now

[lofty cradle]

Yep. So annoying, I really want to know what the error is 😕

[tender thicket]

Although in my case I have even more layers of virtualization 😅

[quick mist]

try removing some layers?

[tender thicket]

Eh all my layers server a purpose

serve*

[quick mist]

remove as many variables as you can when testing, then you stack your house of cards.

[coral ice]

I can connect to my server fine but my friend's game crashes when he does. I have another friend from another network that can also connect fine. Any ideas?

[tender thicket]

Im just trying to run it from my pre-existing ptero instance, I dont wanna try to un-nest all of that

[quick mist]

sounds like an issue with your friend's client or PC. they have any mods in stalled? have they tried re-verifying their install files?

[coral ice]

It was working fine earlier today is the thing

[craggy sandal]

How to open this file?

[short blade]

What do you mean? It's returned from the HTTPS API

[craggy sandal]

Oh ok

[fossil fox]

Hi, so I have a locally hosted dedicated server, installed via steam and run through via nssm to have it running in the background. Is it normal behavior though that when I quit the game, the server manager tells me the server is offline despite the service still running? My goal is to have the server running in the background and for me and my wife to easily drop in and out of the game. Thanks in advance.

[runic zinc]

Are they connecting correctly?
Server manager?

[quick mist]

that's an issue on Windows servers at the moment @fossil fox

[fossil fox]

Is there a workaround atm?

[quick mist]

I don't know; I'm a Linux guy, not windows. you could try using WSL for your server. A hotfix is expected tomorrow

[fossil fox]

Understood. Appreciate the swift reply. Best to wait for the hotfix then.

[runic zinc]

I may have solved it through changing settings. Didnt have time for extensive testing though.

Try turning your autorestart time all the way up. Turn off the pause when people leave check. Then restart server. Then try it.

Dunno if thats what did it, but mine stopped doing it after some combination of settings change

[quick mist]

happy to be of service; sorry for the bad news

[runic zinc]

Additionally if you do it and it works make sure to mention me back and tell me so we can spread the word

[fossil fox]

Yes. Autopause is off actually, and server restart is at max 24hrs. Still says offline when I leave the server.

[quick mist]

WSL actually ought to work come to think of it since it's a native Linux build running in Windows

[runic zinc]

Save on player leave as well?

[proud falcon]

where is the new unreal console from the video ?

[next vapor]

so, setup a new 1.0 server to start a game, and every few minutes a remote friend's connection times out for no obvious reason.

any ideas?

[runic zinc]

Make sure to fully shutdown the server after changing that too

[sonic sable]

spun up a new ded server using the Epic ded server tool and it's got me starting at tier 2. How do I wipe it so it starts fully fresh?

[next vapor]

about every 5 minutes he gets a connection timed out for no reason

[fossil fox]

You mean this must be disabled too?

[runic zinc]

Cant. Dedi cant do fresh start.

[proud falcon]

if you want to run the server without players YES

[runic zinc]

Try it.

[sonic sable]

oh fair enough, i'll just play the intro and then go back to the ded. Cheers!

[cinder temple]

is it possible to pass commands (esp. quit) to a running server without connecting through the game client?
/proc/<pid>/fd/0 is linked to null

[sonic sable]

are there any dope server management tools available yet? seems like it'd be a bit too soon

[versed turret]

You can send the SIGTERM to the process

[cinder temple]

does it do a graceful shutdown?

[versed turret]

Yes, according to the wiki

[cinder temple]

ah, apparently systemctl stop does the same by default

neat

[versed turret]

Yes, if its a service

[cinder temple]

yeah i've set up a unit roughly as described in the wiki

[fossil fox]

Ok, disabled autosave, autopause, set restart interval to max. gracefully shut down the server. Just restarted it, joined no problem. Left the game then checked server manager and after a few seconds, it says server is offline. the service is still running though when I look it up under windows services. EDIT: Restarted the game, still says offline. I am only able to get the server back up after restarting it under windows services.

[bleak hollow]

How do you access the session ID

[jolly bluff]

On windows, there a way to launch the .exe in the same terminal without opening another one on top?

[versed turret]

Seems like there is problem with -unattended on windows atleast, I always get the terminal window shown. Can somebody else confirm this too for me?

[ember cradle]

Anyone use Unraid wolveix?

[opaque cargo]

anyone getting these errors?

port 7777tcp and udp opened

[ember cradle]

I've been struggling to create a new server with a new game instance, with the latest release. It looks different. I'm changing 7777 to 7778 and it's not recognizing my changes.

[strange fulcrum]

i just fired up the server as a service for the first time and i'm also getting those errors

also when i try to join with a client it says "encryption token missing"

[quick mist]

The Session ID is irrelevant to dedicated server connections

[opaque cargo]

When i try to create a new game, it just crashes and goes offline

[bleak hollow]

All dedicated server connection attempts are causing a 20s timeout

I'm on windows and I can't get my friend into my server or join his

[quick mist]

That doesn't look at all like any of the Satisfactory UI

[bleak hollow]

no it says its wolveix

[ember cradle]

It's the config for satisfactory server by wolveix on Unraid.

It is weird and different from previous

[finite kite]

Does anyone know a good yt tutorial for setting up a dedicasted server for 1.0?

[civic lantern]

It’s day 1

[cinder temple]

it doesn't work via "join game", you have to add it in "server manager"

[finite kite]

i know, a man can hope

[bleak hollow]

server manager says the server is offline, even though my friend has connected to it

[cinder temple]

i'm not replying to you

[quick mist]

This is a little "old man yells at cloud" but a little piece of me dies every time someone asks for a video for a thing that is better conveyed with clear written directions, perhaps with some pictoral references.

[jolly orchid]

have you considered toggling the server setting? "Auto-Pause"

[civic lantern]

Many issues will get fixed the question really is, is there a good how to video for any version and afaik the answer is no

[modern zinc]

yeah I've messed with that. It apparently didn't stick the last couple times I did it

but I seem to have solved it

[finite kite]

ty mate, I have such a hard time troubleshooting networking stuff, clueless to it all really

[civic lantern]

I wrote www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/s/EWvPvCaLdW and despite being a “just copy and paste the command and don’t ask questions” recipe it has had minimal uptake. I will be rewriting it for 1.0

[sand beacon]

Anyone been able to get the dedicated server to run using the "dedicated server" steam tool? I'm having an issue getting people to view my server as online.

[jolly orchid]

please elaborate, are you able to join it?

[civic lantern]

There are pre baked docker images and all kinds of other things like linuxgsm you can use if you have a spare Linux machine

[sand beacon]

Yea, Servers open for me. I forwarded the 7777 port on the router, and opened it on the firewall.

[jolly orchid]

have you confirmed via logs that the connection from the remote person is making it to the server?

[twilit fox]

That's how it be... I'd rather skim a document rather than sit through a damn video too

[civic lantern]

Can you access it, though?

[sand beacon]

I don't know exactly what that would look like, but I didn't notice a change in the logs when they attempted. When they tried to join the server it just showed up as connection timed out for them.

[sand beacon]

Yea, I can join the world

[jolly orchid]

a connection timeout would mean that they got no reply from the destination server, either the ports were forwarded incorrectly, or it's being blocked by a firewall.

[civic lantern]

Can you access it by connecting to your external IP, the one that should be internet routable and would you consider sharing it here or in dm

[cinder temple]

both tcp and udp?

[twilit fox]

Well, thank yall for the guidance.. I got my server back up with running as a service with systemctl

[sand beacon]

Yea, I can't seem to figure out where I've could have went wrong with it. I've done this before with other servers. Maybe my router is just messed up

[sand beacon]

yea

[jolly orchid]

what kind of router?

[civic lantern]

Or your ISP blocks 7777.

[sand beacon]

It's a net gear one

I tried to use the steam arguments to test different ports also

[winged mauve]

I am unable to connect to my server after initially setting it up. I am getting a repeated "Connection to the Server has been lost" after I try to authenticate

[civic lantern]

Can you connect via external IP

[twilit fox]

Isp doesn't normally block high ports. Try using canyouseeme, if udp is working, but tcp is not then you should get an api error. If it connects on internal ip, but not external then you've got a firewall issue.

If you're using a windows host it could be windows firewall, try disabling it.. if you're on Linux then $ ufw disable

[strange fulcrum]

hm, i'm getting an error file project not found when i start the linux server

[cinder temple]

same, it didn't end up mattering
try starting a session

[twilit fox]

Oh, and if satisfactory says your nat is strict, or you have a wireless isp like starlink you are cgnatted. Forget about it and move on

[civic lantern]

Did my ZeroTier sales pitch not convince

[winter storm]

Facing the same issue, same setup (windows computer on local network). Can I ask how you solved it?

[cyan venture]

dumb question, but is it by any chance possible to have multiple hubs using... some kind of paramater or command or config or whatever ?
I think some of my friends in my server dont all want to be clumped together, like they'd want to help with progression but not all be in one place i guess

[twilit fox]

You can host on cgnat but it's way outside the scope of this discord

[winged mauve]

its also saying "You need to be authenticated to see this information"

I disabled firewall on server computer

[sand beacon]

When I try a direct connection it says " Encryption Token Missing" I believe it wasn't saying that before tho

[strange fulcrum]

i was hoping that error was the issue. i can't connect

[jolly orchid]

See pinned messages upper right for that

[twilit fox]

No it does, but at that point I think it's outside the scope of the discussion here and may fit better in tech talk.

[civic lantern]

Using server manager to external IP. That error message turns up if you use Join

[civic lantern]

Likely

[cinder temple]

do you have port 7777 accessible via both tcp and udp?

[strange fulcrum]

yep. also its a local server so i'm connecting with 192.168.1.xxx

[civic lantern]

I do operate a ZeroTier anyone can join, which routes only tcp 7777 as of an hour ago. No auth needed.

[patent portal]

i turned off my firewall and it let me connect to my server, what rule do i need to set to let the server actually through it?

[cyan venture]

Im assuming not

[twilit fox]

What os?

[cinder temple]

double-check the firewall (if any), tcp is used by the api
it might still have a pre-1.0 config, which only required udp

[patent portal]

win 11

[civic lantern]

A firewall in the client machine or server

[twilit fox]

Windows firewall.

[strange fulcrum]

never had a dedicated pre-1.0, setting it up for the first time now

[patent portal]

i tried setting it to the factoryserver exe but i guess it still doesn't want to work

[strange fulcrum]

Apologies for a photo instead of screenshot

[versed turret]

Can somebody help me run the server on windows without the window? -unattended doesn't seem to help 😐

[twilit fox]

Do a Google search on how to allow something on windows firewall. Remember you need both top and udp

[winged mauve]

where is server save information stored? I just deleted everything to start fresh and it still picked up the old save from somewhere

[patent portal]

yeah i have 2 rules for udp and tcp directed to the file path for the server exe thing

[twilit fox]

Delete all those launch arguments

[cinder temple]

try removing the multihome option, it shouldn't be required anymore

otherwise idk

and yeah all of the other options are the default

[twilit fox]

I noticed mine spams a bunch of red in journalctl.. server seems to run fine

[sand beacon]

I used server manager this time and I was able to join using the External Ip, so maybe I'll just try again tomorrow with my friends. Maybe whatever I did earlier fixed it. I'll be back lol

[twilit fox]

What os

[civic lantern]

A directory like .local in the server home dir.

find . | grep sav$

[winged mauve]

win11

[civic lantern]

Good. Glad it worked.

[twilit fox]

Same place your normal saves are stored

User/appdata/local/factory game or something like that

[unique epoch]

im hosting a dedicated server and my server pc reset, since logging back in there are now my new body and my old body sitting in my factory, help?

[civic lantern]

Maybe your client is offline

[south oracle]

how to increase player limit on dedicated servers for 1.0?

[patent portal]

i figured it out

[twilit fox]

[winged mauve]

thanks. Still not letting me authenticate to the server though

[unique epoch]

do you mean my server hosting pc? should i quit out of the game and try logging in again? how do i remove my previous body?

[twilit fox]

Of its an api error, there's a workaround for windows I think.. I'm not sure

[patent portal]

i had to make the rule for FactoryServer-Win64-Shipping-Cmd.exe and not the factoryserver.exe

[jolly orchid]

see pins for api error.

[patent portal]

🙂

[civic lantern]

Hit it with a stick

[stuck drum]

is the server API a local client issue or a server issue

[civic lantern]

I am suggesting your client logged out. It forgets your player id and gives you a new body

[strange fulcrum]

deleting launch arguments is what it took, thank you

[strange fulcrum]

deleting launch arguments is what it took, thank you

[unique epoch]

how do i repair this issue or can i not?

[civic lantern]

Ensure steam is logged in or. Kill the character

[winged mauve]

it lets me passed the API error but then says I cant authenticate

[civic lantern]

Or you were logged out / offline when you played first and logged in now

[unique epoch]

i guess i didnt realise you could harm offline player

noted and thank you

he will just be ther forever though yeah?

[twilit fox]

But it works if you disable your firewall?

[winged mauve]

My server log is also spamming "NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: 192.168.1.254:7777" (my default gateway)

[twilit fox]

Sorry If that was someone else

[civic lantern]

Until that player id logs in again

[winged mauve]

yeah firewall disabled on server computer

[civic lantern]

It’s noise

[unique epoch]

no worries ill cross that bridge when i come to it

[tawny remnant]

YO - my dedicated server does not have any settings file; i cant quit using console, wont let me type. and it wont generate settings so cant change admin password

[twilit fox]

So firewall disabled you can't connect? Are you trying from local ip or your wan ip?

[tawny remnant]

PLUS dedicated server pulled my singleplayer save for no reason even when creating a new save

[civic lantern]

Rescue the save file and reinstall

[short blade]

HTTPS API Integration

[tawny remnant]

I fully wiped dedicated server and uninstalled on steam, reinstalled. Still using same settings as before and same save

Still no server settings file generated

[winged mauve]

both. Doesnt let me connect with local though

[civic lantern]

Start a game maybe

[tawny remnant]

Can't without admin password

can't reset the admin password either

[twilit fox]

Wipe and start over

[civic lantern]

Then you didn’t fully wipe. What is the server platform

[tawny remnant]

I have wiped. Fully reinstalled dedi server on steam. It still uses same settings

[twilit fox]

Your app data folder has the server config

[tawny remnant]

right click uninstall + wiped all install folders

[civic lantern]

That is not fully wiped

[tawny remnant]

where #

[tawny remnant]

wheres the files then if not the install dir?

[twilit fox]

At this point just assume windows.. /: this is like the only time when Linux "just works" lol

[barren raven]

Any updated docs on the dedicated server and its API with endpoints?

[winged mauve]

The server message keeps reappering

[civic lantern]

Linux gsm kept files in a ~/.local

[tawny remnant]

So it's not wiped? but you don't know why

[short blade]

Not exactly docs, but I'm working on a C# API. You might find the classes and what I've built helpful so far:
https://github.com/micah686/SatisfactoryAPI

[tawny remnant]

👍

[cinder temple]

can confirm the latter, permission to feel smug?

[twilit fox]

I had something like this.. server accepted, but connection could not be established.. did you try using the argument for binding all interfaces?

[winged mauve]

User/appdata/local/factory game or something like that

[barren raven]

How'd you figure this out? Backtracking the network?

[short blade]

If you want to discuss it more, why don't we bring it to the #1283297224935080009 Thread? So we aren't disrupting those trying to troubleshoot

[winged mauve]

im using the Epic DS so I dont know how to change that

[twilit fox]

Would you be willing to use steamcmd?

[winged mauve]

yeah but that wasnt working either

[twilit fox]

Same issue?

[winged mauve]

yeah but let me try again with that argument

[twilit fox]

I wish I could help more.. but I haven't touched the windows servers since u7 x:

[lost widget]

Any short tutorial setting up dedicated server using Steam Tools (Satisfactory Dedicated Server)? The wiki in the channel description seems to be not update for 1.0 release yet.

[winged mauve]

no prob. thanks for trying!

[twilit fox]

I'm not giving up yet, you're trying to run the server on a seperate machine yeah?

[winged mauve]

yes

[twilit fox]

You can follow the tutorial for steamcmd. Only thing different is no launch arguments

[strange fulcrum]

huh. new game starts off with tier 0 already completed?

[twilit fox]

Are you using anything extra, like hyper v?

[winged mauve]

nah nothing extra. just a pretty barebones pc

[lost widget]

Ah Steamcmd is quite confusing to me, last time I tried for different game didn't work for me
but I'll try again, maybe my braincells has multiplied

[static charm]

is there a working solution to run a server on windows?

[winged mauve]

im giving up for now lol. Thanks for the help though!

[opaque charm]

Yeah, download it through steam and run.

[versed turret]

Anybody able to run Server without the window on Win11?

[static charm]

does not work, does not connect, all ports are open, but does not see the server

[opaque charm]

Open the folder where you installed the server and open FactoryServer.exe. I can't help much unfortuantly I'm running linux

[opaque charm]

Set your port to 8000 in the client when trying to connect

[languid palm]

This happend me all the time

I have rules in windows firewall and router for 7777 15777 15000 TCP&udp
Reinstalled the server using steamcmd on a diffrent HD
What can i do more then this?

Can play for 5 minuts and then it appear, no connection possible and server is still running

[split dragon]

Is this all bécasse or the new api system ?

Sry i have an autocorrector in french

[static charm]

[languid palm]

[calm crater]

Still got the same issue
"Failed to connect to server API"

on a win10vm, I simply run the exe, TCP/UDP 7777 ports are open, and I can see the query in the logs from my own IP

[modern zinc]

voting

[charred atlas]

see here, vote it up if this is your issue.

[winter storm]

Thanks, done 🙂

[waxen loom]

I honestly think I'm seeing the same problem (but I'm not running it as a service) - sometimes when someone leaves it just crashes the server. UI of the server is still open on my windows server, process is still running, but server shows as offline in the satisfactory server manager.

[earnest willow]

friend a is hosting the game but doesnt own it, how does friend a get ownership of the server

[waxen loom]

Pretty sure if you delete the file %localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved\Savegames\ServerSettings.7777.sav (it might be a different number if you use a different port) you can then launch it again and re-claim it.

As a precaution, you should simply rename the file instead of delete it.

[earnest willow]

for this issue right

[vestal crest]

Anyone help?

[twin flame]

For friends to connect to my server will they need the IPV6 address as the multihome argument is currently bugged?

[twin flame]

Are you using steam cmd?

[waxen loom]

No - whoever owns the server NEEDS to claim it the first time. Put in the server name/admin password/etc

[terse lynx]

In the launch paramaters, dont specify "-multihome""

[earnest willow]

yes problem is the friend that is hosting dosnt own the game

[waxen loom]

Ah! You can claim it. ANYONE can technically claim it.

[terse lynx]

There is no way for him to set it up without havin the game, but anyone can claim and set it up.

[vestal crest]

I have purchased a server but have access to the files

[vestal crest]

Which file i need to change?

[terse lynx]

the file you use to start the game

[twin flame]

Im using steam cmd for my own server so I have a startup.bat file with a set of commands in, i removed multihome from this file

[terse lynx]

If you are using a host, you might need to ask the host to check.

[twin flame]

However I am having an issue where my friends cant join me as it says server offline

Even though it is running and I have setup a password etc for clients

[terse lynx]

Can you join locally?

[twin flame]

I tried to use the same setup as in the early access 0.8 which used the multihiome argument to force use of the local IP address through IPv4

[dark fiber]

Any news about the API issue with server host such as nitrado or shockbyte?

[twin flame]

with the loss of the multihome argument i dont think using the local server IP works anymore

[forest sierra]

i have the same issue, i can connect to my server with my internal Ip but not my external one

[terse lynx]

I used my 0.8 server, updated and just removed the multihome. I was lucky enough that my server chose the right IP to try and connect through.

I'm sure as soon as they fix the multihome issue all will go back to normal.

[twin flame]

Im wondering if I need to use the public IPv6 IP address as that is what satisfactory was set to use by default in 0.8

multihome just forced the use of IPv4 which we cant use

[terse lynx]

EDIT: We have identified the issue and will submit the fix on Wednesday (10th of September)

As a workaround until we release the patch tomorrow, you can add the following command line argument:
-ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any
This should fix both -multihome= connectivity and connectivity inside of docker containers.

[waxen loom]

Unless you're running multiple servers on one machine you should never need multihome...

[terse lynx]

Have you tried that?

[twin flame]

I did

and it did work

TBF I am running a plex server off the same machine

[sweet gorge]

yeah thats my problem. Dont want to switch to docker and want to run multiple servers with diffrent IPs with multihoming. the DefaultBindAddress Param did not work :/

[terse lynx]

Also remember if you use port 7777, IPv6 will try to connect through port 7778

so forward that too

[jolly bluff]

I am also running into the server dies when someone leaves issue 😩

[waxen loom]

Ah - yeah, good luck with that lol. Sounds like it's broken at the moment.

[waxen loom]

Plex shouldn't be an issue - I do the same 🙂

[terse lynx]

Yea no its not Plex.

Everyone having the API issues and cant fix it should just wait for the update today, that will fix it as devs have said.

[twin flame]

-ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any (At any point in this argument do I set the Ip of the server?)

[calm crater]

but that fix is only for linux iirc? anyone trying therir luck on windows vms?

[terse lynx]

No, but you should try to use that argument and multihome together and see if that works, if not, remove multihome but keep that argument.

[twin flame]

So put both arguments in the BAT file?

ok

[terse lynx]

Ah I wasnt aware it only works on linux.....

[twin flame]

Im on windows it does work

Well the removal of multihome argument works on windows

I need to test the workaround INI thing

[calm crater]

yeah but I don't have that in the first place in my .bat, I created it on my own and only have -log -unattended

[fading quarry]

same i run quite the stack as well, all running perfectly fine

[void gorge]

just wait a day or two. they stated at the stream that they didn't want to release a broken product. they did, so this is probably high priority for them.

[split marsh]

before 1.0 i had to disable ipv6 on my linux server to run the dedicated server, yesterday when 1.0 released i also got the API error on dedi server, but enabling ipv6 again and rebooting server fixed it all and it all runs smoothly now, if that can help anyone getting the error 🙂

[pale olive]

just got here, whats broken?

[twin flame]

you can create a new bat file and add the arguments, I have my ports forwarding in my bat file too

[stoic stream]

this is so screwed up, my server keeps crashing it's so weird

[languid palm]

Please share the lines

[fading quarry]

post logs

[twin flame]

FactoryServer.exe -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 -Port=7777 -log -unattended

[vestal crest]

i dont have in any file paramters "-multihome"

[twin flame]

Do you have the config or bat file for the server startup? or does the server owner have access to that?

[vestal crest]

i saw only like this

FactoryServer.sh

UE_TRUE_SCRIPT_NAME=$(echo \"$0\" | xargs readlink -f)
UE_PROJECT_ROOT=$(dirname "$UE_TRUE_SCRIPT_NAME")
chmod +x "$UE_PROJECT_ROOT/Engine/Binaries/Linux/FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping"
"$UE_PROJECT_ROOT/Engine/Binaries/Linux/FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping" FactoryGame "$@" 

[twin flame]

That looks like it but its Linux so different arguments

[vestal crest]

Yes it's debian

[twin flame]

This is all very new to me, Linux I have only ever used for crypto mining

The pinned post in here has a LINUX workaround

Maybe try another line in that startup command: -Port=7778

so both 7777 7778 are covered

[calm crater]

tried the ver ysame arguments but to no avail, thx anyway, I guess I'll just wait for some updates from the devs

[forest sierra]

Rip deticated servers working on Windows Day 1

[radiant terrace]

Having this issue as well

[sweet gorge]

I have an custom written binding tool from an friend but he can take a look at weekend. It alters the WIN32API and so if the server wants to bind to 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 it sets the IP i want instead. Really wild hack^^ but atm its not working for the new satisfactory I get "address in use" even if it isnt. He has to take a look at it

[proud falcon]

hmm i cant see any optimizations on server .. still rubberbanding and lags .. and my 2022 server is on low cpu ram ssd usage ...

and where is the new console they showed in stream ?

[stray glacier]

Hello everyone, i have issues with my game, anyone can tell how to fix it? Thankss

[vestal crest]

unfortunatelly it doesn't work, i go write to host

[fading quarry]

have you tried repair files?

[stray glacier]

How??

[coral rose]

Might be worth verifying the install or reinstalling

[stray glacier]

I tried reinstalling twice😭

[fading quarry]

• Open your Game Library on Steam.
• Right-click on your game.
• Select Properties from the menu.
• In the Properties menu, select 'Local Files' from the left-hand panel.
• On the Local Files page, select 'Verify integrity of game files'
• Steam will then verify your files. ...
• Once Steam is finished, a box like this will appear.

[onyx valley]

is shockbyte any good for hosting?

[fading quarry]

shared game hosting is hit and miss, its a lottery ticket you might get lucky and be placed on a low utilized host or not.

[stray glacier]

Ohhh i see, i done do this many times, but the result are same 😥

[plush granite]

Works for me, what's the issue you're getting?

[dark fiber]

Rn it still doesn't work, so u better wait the fix is out to buy a server

[onyx valley]

gotcha, thanks!

[sleek nimbus]

API error for external ppl trying to join

they reach the srv, I see their IP, but...

[fading quarry]

if only external players get it its port forwarding that is incorrect, usually both internal and external get the message beccause of binding error on the server

[calm crater]

same

[obsidian plinth]

I have my port forwarding setup properly, but it's doing this (Top is localhost, the bottom is going via my own publicIP)

[sleek nimbus]

Tested befor the update, was working fine. Also, when, I leave the server, I goes offline and I have to stop restart to be able to join again

[knotty moss]

connecting to my server is just giving "certificate is not yet valid"

[fading quarry]

did you add the server in server manager, you get that if you try connecting to the server through join game, join game is for multiplayer games it seems and not dedicated servers

[knotty moss]

yeah i did in the manger so i could manage it
