dedicated-servers

[bleak dust]

you do set the password when you claim it, enter the ip and confirm, it will go through the claim prommpts (certificatie, set passwords etc) when you select a tab that requires an admin password, it will prompt to enter

then your connection status will show as Administrator

I had similar issues and solved them by creating a linux VM and making sure it had a unique MAC + IP and forwarded the 7777 traffic to it in my firewall. this stabilized the connection. before, when I was connected as Admin if I left the game, moments later my buddy would get kicked out. when the ded was using the same IP as my client

select a tab that is admin like manage saves or server settings

it would've prompted you on first connection "this server has a certificate blah blah" do you want to claim it

thats where you can name it also

its showing offline - none of the tabs will work when its offline. is this server running on the same PC as the client your playing from?

meaning are you putting ini 127.0.0.1 or another IP, is the port forwarded in your router firewall?

so hosted outside your local network?

is it running on the same local IP as the computer your playing on?. remove the server and readd it.

[cerulean sierra]

It worked after put the local ip address. Thank you!

[bleak dust]

the only way I got mine to work was to host on a different computer then I was playing on. I created a vm

even though the vm is on the same hardware as my game client, it has a different IP and traffic is routed to it. I have 180 hours of runtime, no crashes

misspoke, its 193 hours

Dedicated server is on a Windows pc with STEAMCMD

Despite updating, this problem remains that the server has an older version than my Epic Games game
does anyone have a solution?

[sinful remnant]

HI folks, I have a dedicated server running and I must be missing something dumb.

• Ubuntu EC2 instance, Install via steamcmd
• TCP 7777, 15777, and 15000 and open in ACLs and listening
• ipv6 disabled
• I can telnet/http to TCP/7777 and receive the expected "errors.com.epicgames.httpserver.route_handler_not_found"
• From the game client when I add the server I receive "Server Name Pending/Not Authenticated"

The strange thing is I never see my game client hit the server. With tcpdump on the server I can see packets when hitting tcp/7777 from my browser, but nothing when I try from the game client. It's like the client isn't even trying to connect.

Not sure what I'm missing here....

Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

[wicked knot]

7777 only, TCP and UDP

[sinful remnant]

Ah, crap. Thanks. I'll try opening UDP now

[frosty gale]

I had to check the active ports for satisfactory and there was a random one added to get the certificate

[sinful remnant]

That did it! Thank you so much!

How do i start a dedicated creative server

[quick mist]

Define 'creative server'.

[deep turret]

explain how you tried to update the server

[quick mist]

Was the server running when you tried to update it?

[deep turret]

and you're launching it from GameServers/satisfactory ?

[mortal birch]

i stop the server before

[mortal birch]

yes after this update

[deep turret]

does it says updated successfully ?

either it's still running or you launch it from a different folder

[quick mist]

okay, I suggest:

• If the server is running, stop the server
• Attempt the update via SteamCMD once again
• Start the server
• If you still see the version mismatch, stop the server, and delete the files in C:\GameServers\Satisfactory, and run the SteamCMD update command yet one more time. Deleting those files will not affect your saved server settings or world state.

[mortal birch]

i have only one folder from Satisfactory

Is there any way to turn an existing world into a server? My friends started a playthrough and want me to join but they want to figure out if theres a way to turn it into a server so that my friend who is hosting the game doesnt need to be on for the rest of us to play

[foggy chasm]

Run a dedicated server from steam and you can upload the save file to it

[rocky acorn]

Where can I find info on how to run a server?

It would be my first time doing that

[foggy chasm]

The owner of the save file would have to do it

[rocky acorn]

Okay, where can I find the info for how to start a server so that I can send the info to them?

[foggy chasm]

Youtube would be a good start

I can find you the video I used

It was recommended I post this over here.
Anyone having problems with Smart Splitters not splitting Wire off? We have a belt feeding storage with smart splitters used for overflow. All of the Smart Splitter work except the Wire splitter. It just lets the wire pass through to overflow. We even tried setting some of the smart splitters that are working to wire and hey also just pass the wire through to the overflow. the belts we are splitting to are empty so it should not be passing the wires through to overflow. Thanks for the help.

We were able to rig it to work. we took a smart splitter that was working and took output three that was set to "none" and set it to wire. WE then made a belt to feed it around and to the lift going to the wire storage.

[foggy chasm]

Why is the server using 16 gigs of RAM

[signal cypress]

Has anyone else encountered issues where from time to time when I go to delete an object, even after deleting it persists, and then I have to quit to the main menu and rejoin to get the objects to disappear properly?

[foggy chasm]

How do I set the server to my public IP address so people not on my home network can join

[signal cypress]

@foggy chasm - You just need to set up port forwarding on your router. That is something whose process will vary greatly, depending on what you are using as a router. And in some cases, if you are using an ISP provided router, you might not be able to forward ports at all - but you'd need to check with your ISP for that.

[foggy chasm]

I have a third party router from Netgear. Do the other players also need to do this?

[signal cypress]

No, only you do.

So, if you google your router model, and how to forward ports, you should find instructions on how to do it. Unless you've changed the default port, you need to forward port 7777 externally, to the internal ip address of your server's port 7777

If you have changed it, just change 7777 to what ever other port you are using.

[foggy chasm]

I have the ports fowarded on my router. One of the other players just sent me a picture of what they're looking at, standby Ill post it here

[signal cypress]

Sure

[foggy chasm]

My wife on my LAN can connect to the server just fine.

In fact she’s on it right now.

[signal cypress]

That just means the address they are using doesn't have a server there.

So, what ip address did you give your friend?

Well actually no

don;'t share that here

[foggy chasm]

My public IP as the wiki advised

DM it to me

[signal cypress]

Gotcha - and you got that from a website like: whatismyipaddress.com ?

[foggy chasm]

currently using whatsmyip . com

[signal cypress]

Just wanna make sure you aren't giving them your LAN address.

Yeah that works, doesn't matter which one.

Only thing I can think of is that the port forwarding isn't done right, or wasn't saved.

[foggy chasm]

Dont know the difference between IPv6 or v4 but

[signal cypress]

The fact your wife can hit it on your LAN, means the server works - so the problem is on the router end most likely.

[foggy chasm]

Let me log back in to my gateway.

[signal cypress]

IPv6 doesn't matter in this case, stick to the IPv4 address.

[foggy chasm]

Okay im in my gateway. Lemme go to the port forwarding.

[signal cypress]

Where are you hosting your dedicated server? Is it just your windows machine you are playing the game on, or a different machine?

[foggy chasm]

Same machine I play on

[signal cypress]

If it's on your windows machine, maybe the windows firewall? Try making sure you have a rule there allowing incoming traffic for the satisfactory executable.

[foggy chasm]

Are you available for a call so I can screenshare with you?

[signal cypress]

But I don't think you need to do that usually, unless you have some unusually restrictive settings to begin with.

Can't talk at the moment, but if you DM me - you can send me some screenshots of the config.

and I can see if I can see what's up.

[foggy chasm]

I can send you my gateway and my firewall settings

[sturdy gust]

Append -NewConsole to your server's launch arguments

It's a Windows-only flag, you can read more about it on the linked wiki: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[cerulean sierra]

It keeps opening the regular Windows console.

[hidden forge]

Start the exe directly instead over cmd?

[cerulean sierra]

Tried too. Does we have other way to start the new console? If yes, I appreciate if you share with me.

[noble sluice]

What is that you want to do with that console? Maybe there is a new and easier way to do what you're trying to do...

[cerulean sierra]

No special reason. Just liked the features of the 'New Console' and would like to try.

#dedicated-servers message

[fair osprey]

For some reason my Server Manager is resetting every.. half hour or so? It shows any servers as outright offline and I have to restart the game for them to refresh and show as expected

[noble sluice]

Server Manager???

[fair osprey]

How you join the dedicated servers you play on?

That's what it's called and I'm referencing it as such

[noble sluice]

Yeah I connect to my servers there but I can't grasp how that is resetting, as you wrote...

[fair osprey]

It times me out of the server and when I click back into Server Manager, all servers show offline

[noble sluice]

Sounds like a network issue. Maybe you're getting a new IP every now and then..
How are you connected to your LAN?

[fair osprey]

Wireless, the server in question isn't local and is hosted by a buddy of mine

My internet should be fine so I don't know why I'm having problems

It also could be on his side of things but I'm not sure

[noble sluice]

Yeah Wireless can be a bitch...
You must find a program to monitor your WiFi quality.

[cold narwhal]

No reason to jump to wifi quality right away... do the server logs show any disruption or is it strictly client-side that isn't seeing the server?

[fair osprey]

This is the error message that shows up

Then it results in this, the server at the bottom is the one I disconnect from

Both are still online

I'm thinking it could also be a game-side issue, the server manager doesn't really refresh to actively check if the servers are online, or it's not pinging the servers as intended

[cold narwhal]

Are you hosting on the same device you are playing on?

[noble sluice]

You can watch at
packetstats.com
Your connection quality...
or:
startrinity.com/InternetQuality/InternetConnectionMonitor.aspx

[cold narwhal]

oh is this a 3rd party rented server?

[deep turret]

what kind of address is this ?
ipv4?
ipv6?
dns?

[fair osprey]

The Address is IPV4 iirc, I’d need to check

[cold narwhal]

Thats an IPv4 address.

[cold narwhal]

The remote server is using a non-standard port and the error is a timeout, so I am leaning toward server side misconfiguration. I would have your buddy try changing the server to use the default listening port 7777 TCP/UDP and verify that they have forwarded their inbound 7777 for both TCP/UDP

they do not need to forward outbound

[cold narwhal]

I didn't say it was mandatory. Defaults are easier to work with when troubleshooting.

[hidden forge]

no? you just have to think with another port. everything else is the same

[cold narwhal]

Most people follow guides to the letter, setting ports and then forwarding different ports can cause issues.

I am aware the ports are irrelevant if all things are configured correctly.

If it works for 30 minutes and then closes, that sounds like DHCP reassigning an IP

Most DHCP server lease times are about 30 minutes.

[cold narwhal]

So if it were assigned a static IP... it would reconnect with the same IP... so wifi dropping momentarily wouldn't matter.

and if it were DHCP, it would still reconnect with the same IP as long as the lease time for the IP had not expired.

Thats not an assumption. That is how it works.

No I am saying the issue is likely that it isn't assigned a static IP.

[onyx cloak]

I just lost everything that was on the tractor because i removed it in water??? I can see the crate and it is not deep in water (1 meter) but i can't reach it

https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1038092680493801533

[onyx cloak]

Yes, sorry... but this is on a dedicated server so no save game editing possible.

[hidden forge]

Thats not how DHCP works. And would be a very low lease time anyway

What I am curious about is the way higher "DriverTime" value.

Huh, found an old post on the QA site, connection timeout when the host is auto saving.
Hey @fair osprey, is the server by chance on a 30 minute auto-save interval?

[cold narwhal]

That would be expected, DriverTime is the netcode driver for networkstreamrequest function. It just means the connection hung longer than the threshold allows.

[fair osprey]

It’s entirely possible it’s my internet with how incompetent my provider is, they can’t keep their service up for an entire day

I mean, rain is what causes our outages, we damn near get that year-round here, so I don't know why their outages are so prevalent

The infrastructure should be able to handle rain, if anything

[hidden forge]

If you have manager rights, download save, edit, upload save.
If not, ask the one hosting to do it or for a ingame workaround in #satisfactory

[onyx cloak]

I managed to open it after jumping into the water about 30 times... it was so frustrating because it was right under my feet but there was no way to open it... how is this a 1.0 version with these bugs?? At one point I literally ended up under water and couldn't get out 😆

[tardy tapir]

Got a new one - So I don't remmeber my admin password (neat I know - server has been auth'd once like 2 months ago) I need to get in to reload a save, but I can't login. I did the serverSettings.15777 rename thing, and that let me specify a new server join password - not the admin password. Is there any way to reset that?

[cold narwhal]

backup your file; delete serversettings.port file; restart the server and reclaim it as admin

[tardy tapir]

I just renamed it .old and restarted it - but that just allows you to reset the join password. There is also a .7777.sav file too? should I rename that one also?

[cold narwhal]

.7777 is the one you want to do that with, the 15777 is probably old, since 1.0 7777 is the default port

[tardy tapir]

(DOH!) - That worked. Thanks. mostly a user error 🙂

[cold narwhal]

Tell me I'm wrong, but explain how so. Don't just say "no thats not right".

[karmic quarry]

DHCP doesn't generally reassign an IP while it's still in use.

[cold narwhal]

Correct, and I said as much,.

[karmic quarry]

I only read up about three responses, after that I need a tldr.

[cold narwhal]

tldr; @hidden forge shows up every day to tell me I am wrong about one thing or another but never bothers to explain why or how. Its like their entire goal in life is to just sow confusion and naysay me when I am actually trying to help people

[karmic quarry]

I wonder if it's a new issue, or one that has existed unnoticed. The 30 minute thing that is.

Or if that nonstandard port is normally used for something else.

[cold narwhal]

the port thing I really dont think is an issue; Im pretty sure DHCP is the problem.

[karmic quarry]

Errant DHCP from a poor ISP does happen. But then you should see that in other aspects of your daily internet usage.

[cold narwhal]

The ISP doesnt establish DHCP, your router does. The ISP gives you a public IP and your gateway router pretty much does everything else. The only exception I can think of is Carrier grade NAT which is an entirely different problem

Your router acts as a DHCP server which provides IP addresses to the devices within your network. There isn't an established standard for lease times, but I have found that more often the not it is around 30 minutes to a few hours before they are released and renewed.

[karmic quarry]

When I say poor ISP, I mean his router is also supplied by them.

[cold narwhal]

ok but that doesnt really say anything

[karmic quarry]

Also true, nothing helpful at least.

[cold narwhal]

not out here to be mean to you or tell you that you are wrong or anything

not my thing at all

[karmic quarry]

I wonder if they can get access to their home router. If so, changing the DHCP time to longer may fix it.

Most home networks are set to 24 hours.

It's public networks that like to use 30 minutes or less.

[cold narwhal]

Ideally they should configure their router bind the dedicated server MAC to a static IP address; that way the DHCP server doesn't even get involved.

[karmic quarry]

That is a better solution, yes. But I would also extend the DHCP time, for the rest of their internet usage.

[cold narwhal]

Public IP addresses are always static. We use DNS servers to map IPs to friendly names ( think xxx.xxx.xx = www.something.com)

[karmic quarry]

Public Networks, not Public IPs.

Or rather, that's what I was talking about.

[cold narwhal]

I'll explain any networking thing you want to know because I like talking about it but I don't understand your difference between public network vs public IP

[karmic quarry]

A network you access along with the general public. As opposed to a known IP of website or other thing.

Like ones set up in businesses for public use.

[cold narwhal]

oh; a public network in that sense would be a firewall boundary.

[karmic quarry]

DHCP lease times in those types of networks, can be as little as 5 minutes.

[cold narwhal]

I could see that to prevent stale connections and limit the available pool of DHCP addresses, that makes sense

That's a valid point, not sure it helps in Satisfactory, but yeah that actually tracks

although 5 minutes is extreme

but the concept is okay

[karmic quarry]

Those are only at places like fast food restaurants. Coffee shops and the like tend towards 30 minutes to an hour.

[cold narwhal]

I'd probably do a walled garden with a logically isolated class C subnet but

but like, the concept is there.

[karmic quarry]

It's a quick and simple answer, for low tech types.

[cold narwhal]

we are also soooo off topic

wat

a walled garden is the standard.

anyways again this is way off topic

[karmic quarry]

Even the assistant manager at mcdonalds, can google how to change DHCP settings in a router.

hey is there a fix/workarround for the server closing it's ports when the owner disconnects ? I'm only playing connecting through LAN, the server is running on a different computer

[untold finch]

I'm curious as I use this setup, and this has never happened to me.. I'm running the server via epic launcher on one windows host, and running the game via epic launcher on a different windows host.. the server stays up all the time, regardless of how often I connect/disconnect, and the other players (connecting via port forward configured in router) are unaffected by my joining/leaving the server. What's different about your setup ?

[dry atlas]

I don't know, it seems like the UDP port just closes when I disconnect from the server, not when someone else disconnects tho

that's what I get on the console when disconnecting

Anyone able to assit getting my tick rate higher? I added the lines from the wiki to my Engine.ini but it doesn't seem to work, still stuck at 30. The lines under [/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver] are automatically removed when I start the server.

[vestal minnow]

make sure the server is not running before saving that change.

[finite rose]

I did, I shut it down, changed the settings and started it back up. It only removes the one setting, the other lines from the wiki stay. The server browser still just shows the tick rate as 30

[vestal minnow]

you might need to change server Network to ultra first before that. It's one of the option under Management.

I'll try that and see

I think it was timeout tolerance, but it's figured out now

And SF Dedi has no moderation tools right now sadly

It should

[hardy galleon]

I don't believe there is mod tools like that. You can, however, use a password to manage user access

Hi, I'm trying to start my server again, but I'm getting in the server manager "Could not connect to server. Failed to Connect to the Server API". I'm using LinuxGSM docker images. Could it be that the dedicated server is out of date there?

[sturdy gust]

Nah, your client can't reach the server's TCP port (7777). Check your networking, also ensure that if the server is local to your client, that you're connecting with the servers internal IP, not public IP

[fallen cradle]

Hmm, maybe that's a gsm thing, but I currently have this in my docker compose file

ports:
  - 7777:7777/udp

[sturdy gust]

Yes, you need to add the same but for TCP

[fallen cradle]

Oh

Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. After a recent update all blueprints on my dedicated satisfactory server shows the hologram, but when I click to build, nothing is placed. It does remove my materials as if I had actually built the blue print. Started after 379322 update.

If I load the same file single player it works just fine.

hey , what can the issue be.
I have a running server but when shutdown it triggers an segmentation fault.
So i installed a new one and everything is fine but after i loaded my safe and tried a restart it also triggers an segmenation fault

[wicked hill]

I have this issue on my self hosted server.
Lost of the times it disappear after a while, but it may happen that for some parts, all the players have to logout to make the red hologram gone.

[shrewd zinc]

Sounds like a sync/tick issue. The server isn't keeping up with what's happening.

SF takes mondo CPU time and the calculations are largely reliant on eachother, so they need to be done in order, thus it's very sensitive to single thread speed. Higher GHz is usually the answer.

I have a 3.6ghz quad core system that still can't handle very large saves, even with all the 1.0 optimizations....

Easy way to tell: the default tick rate is 30/s, and when you look at server manager, the summary of any configured server will show the current tick rate. If it's less than 30 (or whatever you changed it to, if you've changed it), then ticks are taking longer than the server has time to execute them to maintain the tick rate. This usually causes stuttering, most obvious when watching trains moving around. Lowering the tick rate can help in some cases.

There are some considerations; do you plan to host the server and play on the same machine?

[rustic elm]

Idk what that all is, i never understood anything about server. but i play always on one machine, and my friend like 500km away plays on the same world. Now he asked if he can play without me having to be online at the same time, which is understandable

[cold narwhal]

The downsides are primarily: dedicated servers require maintenance (patching, log file management), more difficult to configure (networking), and additional computer resources to run it

[rustic elm]

But do i have to manage that?

[cold narwhal]

Also, there are security considerations when opening your network

[rustic elm]

And is it paid?

[cold narwhal]

There are paid, third party options that will do all of the maintenance and most of the configuration for you

I don't suggest trying to self-host a dedicated server if you aren't familiar with doing so

[rustic elm]

How much do they cost, and on what site would you recommend it?

[cold narwhal]

I couldn't say, I have never used a 3rd party

[rustic elm]

You always hosted them urself?

[cold narwhal]

Yeah my server is self-hosted

[rustic elm]

I searched it, and they all kinda seem sketchy

[cold narwhal]

Its a good learning opportunity if you wanted to self-host; it isn't hard but if your completely unfamiliar it could take a while to learn the basic concepts

[rustic elm]

Alright i think ima buy

But will my performance depend on my internet?

[cold narwhal]

To some degree yes, you should try to find a server hosting service with servers close to your physical location to minimize lag. But the performance will primarily be dependent on the quality of the provider's servers

[rustic elm]

How about this site, the better version doesnt seem to get any benefit. My closest server would be frankfurt btw

At 4netplayers (cant send links it seems)

[cold narwhal]

I really dont want to comment on hosting services, its not my area and I don't want to appear as though I am endorsing any specific site. That being said, generally its a good idea to google a provider to see if they are reputable, if so then somewhere close to your location would be ideal

[rustic elm]

Alright thanks for your time and help, appreciate it!

[cold narwhal]

Happy to help

[rustic elm]

Another question, what exactly does "slot" mean with dedicated servers? Like how many players can play on it or what?

[cold narwhal]

Usually it means maximum player count

[rustic elm]

Alright, but when creating my own server config on gportal, i can minimum select 10, and maximum 1000. Noone plays with 1000 people on one server

[cold narwhal]

hmm that doesnt make sense; if you post a screen shot of the dashboard I might be able to get the context of what they are referring to

[glad nest]

That probably tells you enough about the provider to avoid them if they have not even done research for the specific game they are offering a service for.

[cold narwhal]

I mean, you could configure as many as 127 players, but a minimum of 10 doesn't really make sense. You can set it to 10 without issue

just know that having more than 4 players connected will likely affect performance

But I do agree with @glad nest; I would expect the provider to have configurations that are tailored to the game

[glad nest]

also my experience with host providers in general for satisfactory is that they tend to be a horrible experience in the lategame...
Mostly because satisfactory heavily relies more on having fast single core speed over many cores

[tardy tapir]

I have my dedicated server running on proxmox locally with 12gb of ram as a ubuntu VM, and it's fine, and it's on a SFF little hpe elitebook AIO thing like a NUC wanna be, and runs liek 4 other VMs too and it's always been rock solid

[noble sluice]

Strange. Have only restarted my Docker container and had none of your clamed issues of running servers.

[cold narwhal]

I wasn't claiming those were issues. Just considerations for running a dedicated server.

[noble sluice]

Why don't you throw in a healthy diet too since that is also a far fetched consideration without a direct implication...

....log file management... LMFAO....

[cold narwhal]

I manage mine ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[noble sluice]

My operating system manages mine and do so without any intervene from my part.
There is a lot a operating system do without any intervention from user.
What you can do and what you should do isn't the same...
So stop giving advices about what you can do and focus on what users must do. But I guess that is hard for some to comprehend...

[cold narwhal]

users must manage logs. Its in the configuration script.

[noble sluice]

And where is that mentioned in the Wiki?

[cold narwhal]

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

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

[noble sluice]

Besides logging to the journal (by default), the server also writes its logs to <satisfactory_install_dir>/FactoryGame/Saved/Logs. Log files are rotated automatically when the server process is restarted.
I rest my case....

[cold narwhal]

Unless logging is set to true.

that is a consideration.

[noble sluice]

No it's not. Log file is by default and handled automaticly.

[cold narwhal]

depends on your configuration. I don't run out of Docker using someone else's docker image.

Not everyone is going to use Docker, and the person asking the question asked for considerations when running a server. I provided some examples. Anyways, this is a pointless discussion.

[noble sluice]

Oh I runed in Docker on Ubuntu server. I Ran Docker Desktop on Windows. I ran DS on bare metal and virtualized by ProxMox with Ubuntu server, Windows 10 and 11 and Server 2022 without any thought of what you say is a consideration to make.
Conclusion. You'll never be my peer review.

[cold narwhal]

Yikes. You okay, buddy?

[indigo bone]

hey im looking for a service that hosts satisfactory servers, do you know any reasonable priced options?

[cold narwhal]

I would try searching Reddit, there are tons of hosting services out there and I don't know enough about any of them to give a recommendation.

[glad nest]

Just saw geekflare had a nice guide about different hosting providers.
Not tried any of them myself but geekflare has always on the guides i've read previously done thorughly research.

[rustic elm]

Do i keep my save when buying a dedicated server, or will i have to restart?

[hidden forge]

you can up and download saves to/from servers

[signal jasper]

i have the problem that on my server out of nowhere a tree spawend in our main base but if i load the save locally the tree is gone
any ideas ?

[sturdy gust]

Ayy, cool to see my image mentioned on the wiki

[sturdy gust]

Do we know when log rotation (or rather, limiting the quantity of rotated logs) was added? I had to add auto-pruning to the Docker image a while ago as several people reported huge log directories overtime 😅 Glad to see it being properly handled 🙂

[rustic elm]

Does the tick rate at severs mean how often per minute it refreshes?

[craggy nexus]

I am having issues getting my dedicated server running again. It was working a few days ago and when I went to restart it the command line window runs for a moment then closes

[molten hound]

I’m thinking about making my save into a dedicated sever but I have some questions, can you

-have mods on dedicated server?
-can I transfer my save from my pc to my dedicated server pc
-how would performance be? I have a very larger file and we are running into performance issues with my friend joining me. The dedicated pc I have has a Ryzen 5 5600 and 16gb of ram, and a pretty bad gpu. Would that even be good enough to run a server?

[glad nest]

could be that you are pushing it with 16GB ram if it's a very large file.

for your other 2 questions, the answer is yes

I'd guess a ryzen 5 5600 should be very capable of running a server

[frosty gale]

Daylie server new start does not work well

[rough adder]

Has the bug with items randomly stopping before going into machines been fixed by now?

Apparently not

And the tree bug is also strill there...

[latent forge]

You still need help ?

[median furnace]

I do with this same topic

[latent forge]

I got ya!

[blazing condor]

[tame heath]

I have a question : my pc is not big enough to play satisfactory anymore. Does the dedicated-servers could help me to play with my favorite game?

hope someone can answer that for me please

[cold narwhal]

@tame heath What is the bottleneck? CPU, RAM, GPU?

[tame heath]

it was cool, until we i got like the two last update... update 1.0 or update 10

probably every single peace of it

i have a laptop

i have 12 gig of ram a ryzem 3 i guess and a amd of some sort

AMD Ryzen 3 3200U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx 2.60 GHz

12,0 Go (9,92 Go utilisable)

and the game barely start. he freeze on the starting video/intro

so i was thinking about dedicated servers to play on

[cold narwhal]

The game requires more resources as you build, so larger factories can start to bog systems down over time. Setting up a dedicated server helps alleviate CPU and some RAM consumption, but 12 gigs of RAM should be fine. If your game is stuttering a freezing, I think it might have more to do with the graphics settings.

have you tried running with a different graphics API? Maybe try DX11 or Vulkan if you are currently running in DX12

[tame heath]

dx12 is the directX setting i have on i think... i dont understand a lot aboout those thing.

my video setting was poor on everything since update 10 and the update 1.0 was never started

i buy the game too... so i guess i will have to find another pc or doing a great dedicated servers

I will try to see what i can do with the video setting

[raw lantern]

Hey all, running into issues with my dedicated server throwing a "Missing String Table Entry" error and kicking everyone like every 10 minutes. I see others having the same issue, and them being pushed here, but not seeing much in the way of solutions.

[cold narwhal]

@raw lantern Is the server hosted by a 3rd party service or self-hosted?

[raw lantern]

it is 3rd Party

[odd crown]

Anyone noticing blueprint deletion not being propogated to clients properly? Some blueprint items just stick around untill I rejoin the server. I see a warning on the server log, but nothing specific otherwise.

[cold narwhal]

In that case you will want to verify your server settings (not sure what all can be configured on the user admin side) or try reaching out to the provider

[hidden forge]

It depends. If the server runs on a different machine it can help because now the heavy lifting is done somewhere else.
But for graphic performance it does not help.

[tame heath]

Self hosted

[hidden forge]

On same PC?

[tame heath]

Yeah with the d'édicter servers that was gived by satisfactory

[hidden forge]

Then no, it won't help

[tame heath]

Oh ok... so i Will have to find another pc

[hidden forge]

How good does the game run when you start a fresh save?

[tame heath]

It was marvelous at first before the 1.0 update

Low setting but grest running. Even if i never run the entre game to the end

He never stop i could let the game run for 4 days continuous and never jammed

[hidden forge]

In 0.8 it ran ok?

[tame heath]

Yess

Even update 9 and 10

[hidden forge]

Maybe try DirectX 11 or Vulcan then for graphics api

[tame heath]

I Will try and let you know

[raw lantern]

"verify my server settings....." is not so helpful. 😦

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/674384f0c11fcb08da7dc53b

Does anyone know of a fix for this issue? I just posted on QA site and noticed there was one other post with the almost exact same issue

Game crashes when one specific person disconnects from server

[hidden forge]

There's a known bug if you host and play on the same windows machine and leave the server that the server closes it's ports.
While this issue is marked as internally fixed, we don't know when it'll be released.
Only workaround is to host on linux, either through docker, wsl or vm

[regal thorn]

but it's not hosted locally

it is hosted on low.ms

[hidden forge]

i think thers is/was also a bug if the administrator leaves. does this apply in your situraion?

[regal thorn]

no, i am the admin, but not the one crashing the server

[cold narwhal]

I don't know who your provider is, how they set up their servers, how much control you have over it. If everything works but randomly disconnects you, I would assume its a fault of the provider, in which case you need to contact them.

[regal thorn]

the player with the issue has this showing as their name in game when logging in

[regal thorn]

we've been doing a lot of testing loading different saves as well as running a local server that they joined remotely... oddly enough, we encountered the same exact issue on the local server but with me instead and he had no issues that were associated with the online hosted server

auto pause and save on disconnect has no effect

[cold narwhal]

Can you post the server log where the error occurs?

[regal thorn]

is that the facorygame.log file?

[cold narwhal]

yes that is correct

if crashes also occur, there would be a log of the crash in ~/FactoryGame/Saved/Crashes

[regal thorn]

it doesn't appear to actually crash the server, in the hosting dashboard it shows it as "Running" afterwards, but does appear to be offline for everyone

[cold narwhal]

I didn't see anything obvious in the log file you sent me

Its just one person that disconnects and boots everyone else?

[regal thorn]

okay, i can try to send another one from local hosted game

yeah

and nobody can get back in without restarting server

what's weird is the fact that it occurs to different people on different servers

[tame heath]

My game finalement work

[coarse drift]

All I want for FICSMAS, are trees and rocks I can nuke.

Hate nature: love the bomb.

I can see the reports on the support site, but does anyone have a workaround for trees and rocks that just wont stay gone?

[fair fox]

Every time last person disconects for our server it goes offline and needs to be restarted. Been serching for a solution but seems everything suggested does not work and it seems this is a for 3 + months problem now. Is there something I and a good many others are missing. Is there a fix coming or is there any permanent (me not having to edit code) to have servers not do this?

[dense maple]

Hey! Me and my brother have been on a game host bros server and blueprints refuse to save or allow us to use it in any way shape or form. I have tried everything. I have renamed the session name to have no spaces or special characters. I have looked at the blueprint save files, nothing works. Any advise?

[grim mica]

Known issue, CSS stated they fixed it - yet didnt. Might be patched with Ficsmas, but I doubt at this point they will release a fix for it. Easiest solution is to switch to Linux and it wont happen anymore. This is specific to Windows DS and despite what many others state and seem to try to repeatedly defend, it doesnt matter if client+server on the same box of server standalone

[short minnow]

I encounter a weird issue on DS and I'm not sure how to 'name' it. Effect: some buildings, specifically platforms and walls in this case, can't be copied with MMB (game states N/A). Removing them works, but they appear to stay in place, yet without clipping. Logging out and in again, then the removed building parts are not rendered anymore. Things built in one session are fine to be copied and removed again, but logging out and returning, most previously built things have this issue. Pipes, belts and machines seem to be less or not affected by this.

First time this was noticed, there was a patch out. So we updated and restarted. Then all seemed fine...but after 1-2 days this issue is back.

[fair fox]

Wow well thanks Gunter. We have no clue about Linux. We are not really server admins or anything just set up a quick server for ourselves but thanks for answering. I guess server restart is the solution till we switch to another game :/

[unique bay]

Has anyone problems with saving mk2 blueprint?

[shadow crag]

Hello guys. Do have any idea why i can´t safe any blueprint on our server?
Session name is: 2nd Try with a space inbetween. I allready tried to make it without a space but nothing changed

[odd crown]

Best guess is the server isn't started with admin rights and you're a client

[short minnow]

Interesting developments: after changing concrete foundations affected by this issue to the standard ficsit foundation with the customizer, it looks like the ficsit and the concrete foundation exist both at the same time. If I then log out and in again, the foundations are ficsit style and can be sampled/copied and removed.

[river kraken]

Hey everyone, I am trying to setup a Dedicated server on my personal machine to host for a few friends, I have it up and everything and setup my port forwarding. When I hit my IP:7777 it give me the expected message pased on the Dedicated Server guide.

But when I go into the game and try to pull up that server, it is saying its offline. I have the FactoryServer.exe running as well.

I am not sure what I am missing. I have google fiber, so not sure if there is something weird there?

was curious if anyone else might have suggestions.

[hidden forge]

did you add it useing your external Ip or the internal IP?
if the first, it's probably a rebind protection. try the internal IP first, then ask a friend to try the external
if the second, check UDP ports

[twilit kiln]

7777 needs to be for both TCP and UDP
27015 needs to be added for TCP and UDP as well

once those ports are open, you should be fine

[noble sluice]

Wiki say only port 7777 udp and tcp need to be open.

[storm star]

can confirm -- I am running with only 7777 tcp/udp open

[opal finch]

Any known fix for the Missing String Table Entry issue where the server drops all players?

Saw it mentioned 2 days ago here

[deep turret]

27015 are steam ports not dedicated server ports please stop using 'AI'

[dense river]

I need help with some basic port forwarding. I've followed lots of guides, but I don't know if I have the right numbers in the right places. I'm new to this.

-I have a static external IP from my ISP xxx.xxx.xxx.27. They provided a modem and said that it was only a modem when it was installed. I have business internet.
-I then have an Orbi router that runs to my server. The router's internal IP is 10.0.0.1 and my server's is reserved at 10.0.0.9.
-I have port forwarding set on my router to forward TCP/UDP internal and external to port 7777 and the internal IP for the forwarding rule is 10.0.0.9.
-I have two inbound firewall rules to allow 7777 TCP and 7777 UDP connections.

I just can't get it to work. When I use a port checker with the satisfactory server running it fails. but it also fails if I try tp check other ports that should be open. I know I'm missing something small I just have no clue. Also, on my router 'stats' the default gateway says it's xxx.xxx.xxx.1 same numbers as the external IP but with a 1 instead of a 27. I don't know if that comes into play. Thanks for any help! 🙂

[deep turret]

check your server is actually running correctly and does not have multiple instances of it

you talked about network but not about the server actually

if you run it on windows check you have edge traversal settings on firewall rules

also you didn't tell what and how you are actually testing

[digital delta]

Last time i was asking about dedicated servers i was told its really buggy a week after full release. Are dedicated servers working perfectly now or not yet?

[noble sluice]

It's working very well.
But it's like this. Does the car work? Yes it does but some drivers blame the car when they drive off the road.

[halcyon oak]

Is there a possible way to Play Satisfactory without the Host beeing online thats Not payed

So my mate is not online right now, but I want to Play😂

[hidden forge]

Yes, run a dedicated server on you own hardware

[halcyon oak]

But then my Hardware needs to be online the hole time?

[hidden forge]

Yes, the hardware hosting the server needs to be run when you want to play

[digital delta]

Ty, what drivers are recommended?

[twilit kiln]

not using AI. 27015 is the primary Steam port

believe me, my dedicated server works just fine and my friends can connect to it

[twilit kiln]

they are still a little glitchy with the plants loading in. other than that, their fine, for the most part

[hardy galleon]

How are you connecting? Is the server on the same machine you are playing from? If yes then connect to IP 127.0.0.1 (this IP basically means "self")

If the server is on another machine, connect to that machine's local(internal) ip (10.0.0.9)

You may running into issues If you are trying to ping/access your local systems using a public ip. Local stays local. Public IP will be for anyone NOT in your local network

[deep turret]

it works fine because you opened 7777

[primal kiln]

Hello guys i am hosting a server and when my friend tried to join it i keep getting this message

[civic lantern]

I experience this as well. Not regularly. But when it happens, deleted things remain visible in the rendering, but are not selectable, and I get visual glitches when I walk through them. But they are in fact gone. Restarting the server causes them to properly disappear. This only began while working on a refinery. So maybe it’s a reflection of complexity. The server has lots of ram and adequate cpu

[short minnow]

I have this a lot. So much that I now downloaded the save and build locally to later upload it again. I build a lot of scaffolding at the moment and removing it or moving/replacing it regularly has become too much of a pain. After my current build is done, I'm done with multiplayer until they fix this.

Speaking of which, I found 2 matching entries in the patch notes:

Fixed not being able to sample buildings sometimes after saving and reloading a session

Fixed a bug where the build mode would be displayed as N/A after sampling a Conveyor belt while in Dismantle mode in Multiplayer (#patch-notes message)

Well, for me that's not fixed 😄

[civic lantern]

I am up to date. I had this with foundations not belts and never saw “n/a “. I’m going to see if this bug is still mentioned on the qa site.

[short minnow]

FYI: #screenshots message

First sampling shows the N/A.
To make this even more weird: if I build something from the hotbar. Attempting to sample an affected platform will now sample the previously selected/built item from the hotbar instead.

This seems to be linked to the customizations? Changing the material type of an affected foundation, e.g., from concrete to FICSIT, will make it appear as if both are in place.
Logging out and in again, then removes the duplicate texture and the platform behaves normally.
It's not purely a specific material though. And walls have this too. Maybe other stuff has this too, but I don't notice it at the moment because I focus on platforms and walls.

[civic lantern]

I think if you can reliably produce this you should file another bug.

I have mods on the DS so would expect any report to be rejected.

[rigid jay]

i have the same thing

[steel fjord]

is anybody else not getting the new update on their dedicated servers?

[icy shuttle]

I just restarted the DS. It should have the new patch, however my log file is filled with: ]LogFactory: Warning: AFGBuildableSubsystem::AddBuildable, A instanced proxy were added without a static mesh. Make sure this is intended. Actor name: Build_PipeHyperStart_C_2146639981

which I don't understand

[steel fjord]

Im still only getting a verification, as if an update isnt available. What OS do you host on?

[twilit fox]

are you hosting on a windows machine?

[twilit fox]

looks like meaningless log spam... satisfactory DS does it a lot.. if you're saving your logs, make sure you have logrotate setup

[icy shuttle]

logrotate?

thanks, more too google 🙂

I'm on a linux OS

[steel fjord]

Ugh, Im using SteamCMD on Windows 10

[twilit fox]

Yeah.. logrotate xD if you've configured your server as a service, and told it to pipe logs to file you need to set it up.. if you didn't then it's not logging.

[bitter lance]

Anyone else getting this error today after the update on a dedicated Linux server?
Unhandled Exception: SIGSEGV: invalid attempt to read memory at address 0x0000001800000006

[twilit fox]

It would be helpful to see more of the log.. that just says it tried to read a memory (could be ram, could be HDD, who knows) and it couldn't because it doesn't have permission to access it.

[bitter lance]

would the full stack trace below it be more helpful?

I'm also getting these errors

It's very much searching for a needle.. You've got one line that tells you what you need to know in a thousand

[steel fjord]

Is it possible SteamCMD failing to update is why Im not grabbing the latest Satisfactory update?

[regal thorn]

It was hosted on a 3rd party site, we switched to indifferent broccoli site and moved the save file there and everything works fine now 🤷‍♂️

[edgy shoal]

I’m having the same issue, I use bitsect for my server and it says that the versions are mismatched, I don’t know how to get them to match. If I restart server, will it kill my current save file?

[icy shuttle]

oh look, 30 minutes in.. #metoo

[marble fjord]

argh. my install with the Wolveix docker container isn't happy updating/starting up right now 😦

[steel fjord]

interesting, im getting no errors, its like theres just no update for steam to grab

[thin needle]

hello, has anyone else got the problem that if you add a server, that it wont add it to the server list so the server list just stays clear/empty?

[marble fjord]

Seems like it grabs the game, it just... has trouble somewhere in SteamCMD land.

Same issue after a server reboot

doh

[rapid pivot]

Updating the dedicated doesn't seem to work. Using

steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "xxx\SatisfactoryServer" +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit
says my server is up to date and trying the same command with an empty/non existing folder shows
ERROR! Failed to install app '1690800' (No subscription)

[marble fjord]

oh. its a steam thing. My valheim docker is b0rked too

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/11522 maybe?

[twilit fox]

I doubt it. Check your docker container logs and see if there's a clue there?

Unless steam broke something, but mine ran just fine an hour ago

[steel fjord]

Im now getting the same 0x6 error after reinstalling SteamCMD. Very interesting were getting the same code on entirely different platforms

[lyric crane]

I just updated my server, and now when I log on, I can run around for about 30 secs, then everything lags out, and I get kicked off saying connection timed out...

[marble fjord]

hmm. Both Valheim and Satisfactory b0rk out with that update state error...

[lyric crane]

this is windows install btw

[marble fjord]

maybe a docker thing?

[steel fjord]

On my actual PC I successfully downloaded and ran a dedicated server no issues

[marble fjord]

I'll update OS. I restarted already

[steel fjord]

Using the full steam client on Windows, not SteamCMD

[marble fjord]

is there a dedicated server FROM steam?

[steel fjord]

Yeah its "odd" to find, I got it from a link on the official dedicated server lists from steam.

[steel fjord]

also a clean install works now, seems I only get the 0x6 error when updating a server

[marble fjord]

is there a clean way to force that without losing my saves? lol

[frosty gale]

Saves aren't stored in the game directory

[lyric crane]

Found my issue... mod was crashing it...

[half juniper]

https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.ficsit.app%2Fsatisfactory-modding%2Flatest%2Ffaq.html%23PlayOlderVersion

I've been using version 1.0.0.4 since

After this update I just had to copy a bunch of files from one directory to another ( if it comes to the steam client ) and on the server I have updates turned off

[marble fjord]

ah! nuked the game directory and it did a fresh install and all is back

[steel fjord]

Yes what gaymer said, the server and saves are seperate. Just back them up first to be sure

[twilit fox]

Try deleting the game files and installing it from scratch.

[marble fjord]

yea, threw the save files off to my desktop first, but it just came back up.

[twilit fox]

Yeah, I ran into that on update before this one.

[marble fjord]

k. Satisfactory issue solved. Now I gotta go fix the 6 valheim worlds 😕

[twilit fox]

Glgf!

[marble fjord]

thanks for the suggestion!

I mean all 9 milestones can be unlocked but I would like to research all tiers in each milestone again.

[steel fjord]

No idea if that is possible, but you might be able to megaprint your entire world and import it into a fresh save

[woven sundial]

how do I set up a dedicated server?

[steel fjord]

do you have a spare computer or do you plan on keeping your main on 24/7?

[woven sundial]

main 24/7

[half juniper]

u got windows or linux ?

[woven sundial]

Windows

[steel fjord]

dmed you

[half juniper]

ouch on linux the best way would be to use docker but on windows to use docker installation u would have to mess with virtualbox

or WSL ( which I personally would discourage )

[hidden forge]

?

Theres nativ docker for Windows too

[half juniper]

no never ever use that

if u want to stay sane at least

that is why I would discourage WSL which would be one of two native methods to use docker on windows

[hidden forge]

Reasons?

[half juniper]

stability and file transfers that can desync

for the same reason I would also discourage using shared folders on virtualbox

[marble fjord]

hmm. I've never had issues with WSL other than being slow on filesystem access (depending on how you configure it)

I've used it a... lot.

[hidden forge]

Hm. Anyway dont host directly in Windows, there are known connection issues

[marble fjord]

so this might be survivorship bias? lol

[half juniper]

k, thanks I will look into megaprints than

[latent oracle]

did you ever figure this out

[rapid pivot]

no im playing my savegame in singleplayer until this problem is resolved. i would guess that there is a problem with the update today and it will be fixed later

[lucid parcel]

okay docker users what solved this for me appears to be creating a backup of the gamefiles directory by moving it to a backup folder such as /home/user/gbackup/ and then starting the docker container again. This forces a full download of the game. "user" is whatever home directory user you're using. So docker compose down, move the gamefiles directory somewhere else, then docker compose up -d. Should be good to go.

[latent oracle]

yea i deleted my existing server dir thinking a clean install would work, now i just have nothing lol

[steel fjord]

you have to reload your existing save

[latent oracle]

its not my save, its my dedicated server install

it wouldnt update, deleted the server files (not save), now wont redownload due to error

[steel fjord]

Ive been using both Windows Server and Windows 10 to host 3 sepearate servers for years, zero issues until today. But seeing as someone on Linux had the same problem, I dont believe its Windows specific

[latent oracle]

seems like a steam issue, or at the very least steam side config issue for dedi repo (require license)

[steel fjord]

I had to reinstall SteamCMD on my server as well, but that issue might be entirely seperate

[latent oracle]

did it download/update the server after that?

[steel fjord]

After that it gave me the 0x6 error when trying to update, clean install is successful though

[latent oracle]

are you logging with id or login anonymous?

[steel fjord]

anonymous

[reef yew]

Hey, we have some issue. We were almost done with our dedicated server, almost completed phase 5. Now I had to reload a save a couple of weeks back and apparently made the mistake of loading it in in read-only mode. Saving hasn't worked for 2 weeks apparently. We finished it today: were waiting for each other to finish the final phase, but now with the update, having to restart the server, we find ourselves with a save that's 2 weeks old again. Any way to enable cheats on our server? We don't feel like redoing everything

[latent oracle]

fresh steamcmd did allow me to install the dedi. hopefully its the updated ver. TY!

[steel fjord]

Seems to be a steam issue, given that someone else here had to do the same process for their valhiem servers

[blazing imp]

Hello fellow admins i got tricky question as i got this

on my dedicated server why could i not use this

to send uptade request?

[rapid pivot]

Did it work? I now get the following error after reinstalling steamcmd:

Error! App '1690800' state is 0x6 after update job.

[blazing imp]

it would be quite delightfull to still get access to the console despite unmatching versions of the files. Big request for the devs for this feature someday on the road. Big thanks for the product

[steel fjord]

are you trying to update the server or install a fresh one? i kept getting 0x6 until a fresh install

[rapid pivot]

It worked, reinstalling steamCMD and the Server has fixed the problems

[steel fjord]

Glad to hear, happy thanksgiving

[latent oracle]

yep, new install is up to date

[noble sluice]

Unnecessary procedure. Just stop container and start again. Don't restart, stop and then start.

[light pulsar]

hi I'm having a problem with steamCMD

I tried to update my satisfactory server and it won't update. I used "app_update 1690800 validate" and it says it updated but it didnt work?

Any idea on how to fix it?

[light pulsar]

Never mind

Got it

[marble fjord]

I blasted away the FactoryGame server directory INSIDE the mount point for it. The docker image detected it missing, and did a clean install. Didn't have to touch my save location

Ubuntu server running the Wolveix docker-compose container setup

[lucid parcel]

Seriously, you think I restarted the container? I always stop start. That's what it took to get it to get it's head unstuck. Probably a corrupted file prevented patching, a fresh download doesnt need to be patched. Rare issue with game patching, but it happens.

[fallow gust]

Just updated the server via steamcmd today before leaving for thanksgiving. Of course apparently it's crashing on startup now. Trying to remote diagnose and troubleshoot be not easy at the moment. The windown opens up and seems to be starting up and then poof window closes. Attached are the logs, didn't know which is correct. If someone can take a quick look just to help me understand if the logs are pointing to the problem.

[cold narwhal]

Looks like a mod is breaking things

Error: [Callstack] 0x00007ffabaa74d98 FactoryServer-EfficiencyCheckerMod-Win64-Shipping.dll!FUpdateItemEvent_DelegateWrapper() [E:\SFModding\SML3.6\Mods\EfficiencyCheckerMod\Intermediate\Build\Win64\FactoryServer\Inc\EfficiencyCheckerMod\UHT\EfficiencyCheckerBuilding.gen.cpp

[fallow gust]

@cold narwhal ok thanks I'll remove efficiency checker and see if that fixes it. Much appreciated in advance if it does and I don't return.

[fallow gust]

Ok I removed Efficiency Checker mod via SMM and validated files via steamcmd. But still persists. Is the log file in the Log folder the one you need or the one in the crashes folder? The one attached is from the Log folder.

[cold narwhal]

Another mod in the callstack

[2024.11.29-01.07.52:605][ 0]LogWindows: Error: [Callstack] 0x00007ffabd639a1f FactoryServer-RefinedRDLib-Win64-Shipping.dll!ARRDLBuildableTaskBase::BeginPlay() [S:\SF\SML\Mods\RefinedRDLib\Source\RefinedRDLib\Private\Buildables\RRDLBuildableTaskBase.cpp:39]

[fallow gust]

Just so I don't keep bugging you. What is in line other than "error" is indicating this is the problem child? I'm just wanting to better understand and solve on my own.

[cold narwhal]

Bottom of the log file, you see "critical error", then the next line is the callstack that caused it. We just got pretty big patch today so most of the mod authors will need time to patch their mods. Your getting critical errors because the mods are no longer pointing to valid addresses, hence the memory violations

[fallow gust]

Oh, so maybe best to give a day or so and see if mods get updates. Well I greatly appreciate the prompt help.

[cold narwhal]

Yep, given the holiday in the states in probably won't be quick, but eventually I expect the mods to be patched. No problem, good luck!

[fallow gust]

Thank you once more

[cold narwhal]

no trouble at all 🙂

[opaque fiber]

So this update completely ruined my dedicateds erver

Anyone else having issues as well with this latest update?

[fallow gust]

@opaque fiber Looking at SMM try disabling all the mods marked as broken. It was just ficsitfarming and efficiency checker that broke mine

[opaque fiber]

Ok Ill check mine

[fallow gust]

the mods names will be red if broken and yellow if maybe broken

[opaque fiber]

disabled farming and that

didn't help

what exactly was changed

I checked the patch notes

why would those break anything in the gmae

[cold narwhal]

@opaque fiber A lot of mods interact with code as it is running. They modify the running memory. When there is a significant patch, the expected memory addresses of certain objects or values change, thus mods break.

If I have a mod that tries to access or write a memory location that is no longer valid, the stack call breaks down.

[fallow gust]

@opaque fiber if you grab the log file I can try and help you track it down as KESTREL did me. But honestly(as I'm learning) best to just wait for the mod to be updated. Choose mods wisely, disabling the mod removed everything related. Anything crafted and placed(mod content related) will not return when the mod is installed or re-enabled again. From what I understand at least.

[thick socket]

Is there a "safe" way to remove mods which already have assets in the world/save on my server?
With the latest update my server will not start and just crashes with a memory access violation.
So I want to remove the 3 mods which I have installed without causing further damage.

Ive also read posts of people saying "remove the mods start the server, then stop the server, then add the mods back in" Does this even work o¿0
In my mind (without trying until I fully understand the impact) this will remove any mod assets from the server, which will need to be setup again after the server starts working. Is this correct?

[fading lily]

how did you update your DS to 382498

[light pulsar]

You have to uninstall steam CMD and then wherever you saved your satisfactory server, delete all the files there.

As a just in case, save your world to a different location as a back up

Then all you have to do is reinstall everything. It took me like five minutes.

[pine spade]

I have the issue, that my game is lagging and overall wont run smoothly. I use the Docker solution and got it running in a proxmox container (Homeserver). It has 4 CPU Cores and 5 Gigs of RAM. CPU is like 50% use all time. Any tips/ Solutions?`

[desert plover]

Hello, is there an api to display how many people are online in a dashboard ? And if yes, does it require any token ? Because i want to put in by default on every new server

[glad nest]

5gb of ram doesnt sound ideal...

also what does "4 CPU Cores" mean? speed?

[pine spade]

RAM isnt that utilized. Like 1G, the CPU on the Server is an Xeon(R) CPU E5-2665 (2.4Ghz). Does it matter, that the Docker is Running on a HDD?

[glad nest]

well at the very start 5gb will probably work... but that wont get you very far.
Xeon CPUs normally run at a very low single core speed so that is also far from ideal.
SSD is always better than HDD, how much it would matter serverside earlygame i dont know

Most of your setup is sub optimal and even running it through a VM & docker overhead combined, i would say stuttering is to be expected

[pine spade]

Okay good to know, i thought it has to be another reason because the usage isnt that high overall.

[glad nest]

when you said 50% usage of your cpu, that is all cores or the highest single core?

[pine spade]

all cores combined

[glad nest]

then you probably have 1 core running 100%

[pine spade]

okay, ill look through htop

[glad nest]

atleast on my server most of the load is on one core

[pine spade]

really could be the single core performance. Thats the normal use 😦

[glad nest]

yep, looks like it

but as said, 5gb ram is also not enough to run it properly for long

think i passed 5gig already by tier 3

so multiple things that would need to be changed to have a pleasant experience iguess

[pine spade]

the problem is that the Mobo of the Server doesnt Support a better CPU, its a Z420 (HP)

[glad nest]

then I dont think there is much to do beside renting / changing it all up / playing p2p

I mean, its black friday now, so you may get some used mobos ++ in your area

[pine spade]

yeah, seems like. But thanks a lot for the help ✌️

[noble sluice]

Your computer is halv of what's required to run Dedicated Server.
Your CPU has only 1401 Single Thread Rating and game likes it above 2000.

[vocal bloom]

do dedicated servers work now?

[quick mist]

Dedicated Servers have worked for months

[mint junco]

Anyone else getting this after updating their dedicated server?
Usually steam client and server are in synch.

[mental python]

yupp - and after trying a clean install ill get "ERRO'R! Failded to install app '1690800' (no subscription)

[mint junco]

Fire... Fire... sound the alarm.... dedicated servers are broken.

<sips more wine>

[mental python]

someone said that you have to install both new - steamcmd and satisfactory dedi server

[mint junco]

sounds like bollocks.
I run a dedicated server on Pterodactyl on linux and have done for over 2 years.

Update gone broke shit

Ok, troubleshooting head on now.
I reinstalled the server, which is how I update the Pterodactyl install.
It downloaded steamcmd and the game update and the version is still reporting a mismatch.
So either.

1. there was no dedicated server update on steam
2. the version hard-coded into the linux version of the steam download has not been updated.
   Either way, it ain't working.

Fire bells should be ringing.

[tough nacelle]

more like DEADicated server. rip. oh well. maybe a gaming break before PoE 2 comes out is a good thing.

[mint junco]

PoE2 is on the 6th, ready for that.
In the meantime was hoping to get my second 9360/min gift tree factory running for Ficsmas 2024.

Dedicated server crash related to pipe placement, CL#379322.
This was not listed as fixed in the current patch notes.
It's happened a few times in 1.0 and this time I actually have a video of it occurring.
Interesting that it coincided with the autosave. 🤔

[noble sluice]

Just did a fresh install and everything worked.
Pristine Ubuntu 24.04 server on VM in Proxmox...

[mint junco]

Same issue, updated existing server in place.
It doesn't matter what a fresh install does if the current update breaks existing servers in place.
This should not happen, it should not pass testing that existing servers are broken by an update.

[noble sluice]

I would look into Pterodactyl....
DedicatedServer on Steam is updated...

[mint junco]

There's enough disk space, the install script it's running I wrote as the existing eggs wouldn't work at the time I wrote it.
It's been working quite happily up to now through all the 1.0 updates.
But I agree, it's software, anything is possible.

[mental python]

i run the server lazy af on windows and have the same problem... update passes succesfully and is still in mismatch to my epic version client

[mint junco]

Thank you for the confirmation

[mental python]

Sorry for no solution :/

[mint junco]

It means in a sample size currently of 3, 66.66% of the population are reporting an issue.
And both of those are on a different platform.
I will re-iterate that it looks like although the binaries are being updated, the version number on an existing install isn't.

Current patch version mismatch on existing dedicated server.
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/674a2db2c11fcb08da7e1c4f

[unreal dock]

Might be a very dumb question but, while my server is running, I will get random ip connections connecting. At least that's what malwarebytes keeps telling me. Is this common or do I need to set something up to prevent that from happening?

[mint junco]

That depends on whether they are your IP or some other.
Look at my pterodactyl screenshot above.
#dedicated-servers message
My client will periodically handshake with the server even if I am not in the game.
This is just from viewing the server screen.

If it's a foreign IP then it could be a port scanner or monitoring system if the server is hosted on a cloud supplier.
So I suppose the point is, do you host it yourself or not?

Actually I've already worked it out.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I've had a few bevvies, Christmas and all...

Malwarebytes is running on Windows.
So you're hosting your own server on Windows.
If you don't have port forwarding open on your router then the IP connection is coming from your LAN and you're looking for an internal actor.
If you do have port forwarding open on your router, check if the IP address which is triggering Malwarebytes is coming from external (e.g. not a LAN IP range address).
If you're not expecting the connection then this is someone possibly port scanning your open ports.
So the question is, is the IP address reported by Malwarebytes in your LAN IP range or not?
If not then it's an inbound connection from the internet.
If internal, are you expecting it?
e.g. are you trying to get your friend to connect to your server?
It could just be a false positive, depending on the scenario.

Can't play the game, bored, mind going haywire, more wine is possibly the solution.

[noble sluice]

Or you can find out why Pterodactyl isn't updating your files. Dedicated Server on steam is working and is updated.

[mint junco]

It's already reported by another person (Pollux) that their dedicated server is reporting a version mismatch, on Windows.
You're the 33.33% which is reporting no problem.

Remember, I'm talking about existing servers updating.
Now I could deploy a Satisfactory-06 and see if that works fine, and confirm if your observation matches.
My main save includes ini file edits, 100s of blueprints and careful care and attention to keep it running.
But the same issue is experienced with a server deployed at 1.0 and played from scratch, Satisfactory-05, screenshot above.
#dedicated-servers message
Which pretty much eliminates old saves being the issue.

[vale spindle]

I mean... my server just closes itself on a error since this latest update
Windows, Steam Tool (not steamcmd)

vanilla, no mods either

[mint junco]

Likewise, mods are the work of the devil.

Although some are very tempting... 🤔

[vale spindle]

yet somehow the linux one I just started on an older save is fine

[mint junco]

Software = it's not real, anything could happen :0)

[mint junco]

So, if I create a brand new server, it's all good.
Behaviour proven.
But that does not help with my existing servers which have respectively 6500, and 650 hours.

[vale spindle]

were you able to reload a previous save?

[mint junco]

I am not planning to.
My main save is over the UObject limit (on at least 2 separate occasions during EA), has 100s if not 1000s of blueprints plus ini file edits to coax it gently into life, 6500 hours of game time.
I have deleted more from my main save then a lot of my friends have ever built.
It is a living and evolving world.
It would be a significant undertaking to redeploy it to a new server, or more importantly to get it to work.
I was in the middle of expanding Superposition Oscillators to 16 Quantum Encoders when the server crashed last night, video above. #dedicated-servers message
580 train stations, 340 trains + or -.

Satisfactory-05 however is straight up brand new since 1.0, 650 hours. so could be ported.
Neither have ever been modded and SCIM can't load my main save.

[vale spindle]

Thats brutal

Welp

[mint junco]

Sorry, I'm a bit slow due to the wine.
Uploading a Satisfactory-05 save to new server Satisfactory-06

[vale spindle]

Uninstalling and reinstalling (Including a full removal of "FactoryGame" folder in Appdata/Local) has allowed the server to start up.
Save file is won't start up though on singleplayer client, unless i'm missing some additional files to get it to work... so that world is dead I guess

[mint junco]

This is expected to work btw

[mint junco]

That is the acid test, when all else has turned to shit, if you can load it into single player you're all good.
This is how I have got out of the shit many times with my main save.
If you can't get it load into single player you have genuine problems.
Can you post screenshots of the error?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Satisfactory-06 loaded with the save from Satisfactory-05 looks ok.

[vale spindle]

Compressing and sending more saves from the server to my main pc to try, you want UE's Crash log that occurs from the single player client?

[mint junco]

ok you're confirming that joining the server is triggering a UE crash.
As long as I can see the error I can give some feedback as I've experienced quite a few.
The crash log might be helpful if it's not completely visible.

[vale spindle]

Those are the most recent crash

[mint junco]

I was able to get into Satisfactory-06 on the second attempt.
So porting the save was successful.

[mint junco]

IsSavedGameEdited = yes
Is that something you've done consciously?

[vale spindle]

I don't know what that is so, no

oh

The quicksave before it loaded

huh... neat

something must've really broke with that one then

[mint junco]

Do have the XML file?

[vale spindle]

I do

[mint junco]

Here's one of mine
You might see themes in there which point to the problem.
I've had lightweightbuildable crashes and gpu crashes.
If you can see a common occuring theme that might give something to latch onto.
NTDLL is core windows, so looks like the operating system choked on it.

[vale spindle]

any text editor can open it?

[mint junco]

Yup

[vale spindle]

Uses normal Notepad

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-gif-22572243

when the gif is sfw but they dont allow them to run

smh

fair enough though

[mint junco]

Looking up on my last crash I can see that AFGProximitySubsystem is what actually fell over.
This is part of the game and nothing that I can directly influence.

So depending what it says in your crash dump depends on what action you can take to mitigate it.

[vale spindle]

This it?
<CallStack>FactoryGameSteam_FactoryGame_Win64_Shipping!FObjectReferenceDisc::ParseObjectNameAndPath() [C:\BuildAgent\work\9fc8da665efb5ffd\UE4\FactoryGame\Source\FactoryGame\Private\FGObjectReference.cpp:273]

I think the save might have just been corrupted, we did have a poweroutage not too long ago

[mint junco]

If that's the highest callstack yes.

Does your previous save load?

[vale spindle]

Yeah, a quicksave 15min before it loads just fine

[mint junco]

Interpreting, Factory Game Object Reference C++ program, line 273 of the code.
it's falling over trying to reference something.
As you stated you had a power outage during a save, the save could be incomplete.
So how does the byte count of that save compare to the byte count of the save which is good?
Lower? Higher? The same?

At least you have a fall back position

[vale spindle]

Working: 2,210kb
Broken: 1,984kb

[mint junco]

That sounds fairly conclusive.
The broken save is 226KB lower than the good.
Sounds like it's incomplete unless you were deleting a load of objects between saves.

[vale spindle]

nah, it was like an hour after I left for work that day, so probably just a corrupted save

thank you very much for the assistance

[mint junco]

sounds likely, you're welcome

[tough nacelle]

Well I followed this ^ issue because my situation was similar (server would not start after it auto-updated). Never occurred to me to try loading the save in SP. I've got a working save in SP now, and can get the server to start w/o crashing, but can't join due to <MISSING STRING TABLE ENTRY> Your connection to the host has been lost. Tried upping the timeout in Engine.ini but it seems to have no effect. Getting kicked back to the main menu w/the error is definitely happening in less than 300 seconds.

Update
Was able to join after disabling about half the mods. I don't have it in me to spend more time figuring out precisely which was the problem. Last time I had this issue it was asset related (props mod) . Again everything works in SP.

[winged iron]

is there an issue with updating the dedicated server in windows post this update? I've ran the steam cmd update on the app but its still a version mismatch?

[mental sable]

Where do i get the correct save file for the interactive map if im using a hosting website for the dedicated server?

[tough nacelle]

Its going to vary between Windows & Linux and even w/how it was installed. Some game hosts redirect files typically found in AppData, so the path for those would differ. For my dedi on windows: %AppData%\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\Server

If you have a program like Everything installed, just search for *.sav and sort by date modified to easily locate the save files. On linux, if you have shell access, sudo find / -name "*.sav" you can run w/o sudo but you will get a lot of access denied errors.. find / -name "*.sav" 2>/dev/null > files_and_folders might work on your sys to suppress them.

[fleet aurora]

I'm having the same issue updating my server after the latest patch - updated previously with no issue up to 1.0.0.7. steamcmd launches and logs in successfully but the update never starts downloading.
Linux box, server is installed inside pufferpanel which is inside a docker container.

[winged iron]

it ended up working when i used the full command in their wiki

[winged iron]

steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

obviously make sure you set the correct install dir

[dusky finch]

So I'm another who received the mismatch version. I'm hosting on my own hardware and only set it up a few weeks ago. Have a ~250hr save.

I assumed with the mismatch that I just needed to reboot the server, so I connected to it and did a

systemctl restart satisfactory.service

Only when it tried to come back up I got the
Error! App '1690800' state is 0x6A6 after update job. That I see others a few weeks ago had, but I didn't find a solution in the discussion after. Best I could find online and in the logs was that it had tried to update while it was still running?? Wiki says a host reboot should solve it, unfortunately for me, it didn't..

So I started working backwards, I tried updating steamcmd, then system updates, then with ufw disabled. Nothing could get it out of 0x6A6. I eventually found some more extreme tactics like rm rf'ing /.steam and purging and reinstalling steamcmd but that didn't help me either. Since I have it configured to run as a service I tried a bunch of combinations of stopping and disabling it before rebooting the host (ubuntu server 24 LTS). I also wasn't able to get my steam user to launch the FactoryServer.sh which I thought was weird but I didn't spend a lot of time on.

It was only after that I thought about what has happened to my save file. So that's my project for tomorrow. Find my save.. try to make a backup of it.. and probably redo the server and try to restore the save?

[fleet aurora]

save file should be at /home/steam/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/

Hum. My issue might be pufferpanel related, oh joy.

[dusky finch]

thanks!

Realized it was on the wiki after I ran sudo find / -name "*.sav" that someone had mentioned earlier

Should I grab a copy of any other files before I blow this away? I guess ServerSettings.sav and Blueprints.. and probably my config file even though there's nothing fancy there..

[hexed forge]

Hey, not sure what I'm missing but I setup a dedicated server, had my friends playing on it last night and earlier today. This evening they are unable to connect, nothing has changed, verified the IP is still the same. I can connect through localhost but not through my actual IP address. I'm running the server off of steam on my primary windows 11 desktop.

[tough nacelle]

make sure its not a firewall issue. you also might try using the -multihome command line option as described in the wiki. there are some reddit threads too, comments in this one: https://old.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/17zj9pd/satisfactory_dedicated_server_home_server_remote/

[hexed forge]

I added the multihome to a command when I launch it and now it just exits instantly. No clue what that means

Just to make sure I added 15000 and 15777 to my firewall as allow through. And setup port forwarding for those.

Yesterday it worked fine when I only had 7777 for port forwarding

[tough nacelle]

did you use your private IP or public? if the server is behind a router, it should be your lan IP, or you can try 0.0.0.0

[hexed forge]

I tried public initially

Changed to 0.0.0.0, server stays open, but same issue.

[frosty gale]

Question have any other problems too that servers sometime crashing? I have 50 player slot server(13 gb ram) where only 8 players play.
Slot hangs with ram togheter

[tough nacelle]

If the servers private ip in there or -multihome=:: doesn't work then you can rule that out. What about windows firewall?

[hexed forge]

I have TCP and UDP setup inbound rules to always allow ports 7777, 15000, and 15777

[mild marten]

Hello guys, me and my friends need help. We tried to create server with more than 4 players (around 5-6 players) with this method
-"%localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\Windows\Game.ini"
-"[/Script/Engine.GameSession] MaxPlayers=16"
But its not working (Its says unable to join the section...something)
How can I fix this?

[storm dragon]

Did you modify the script out of game?

[digital goblet]

Hey all,
Currently having the following issue --
I have a dedicated server set up that I launch through Epic Games. Got the Admin set up on Server Manager and players can join no problem when I join the Server first. But, when I leave the game, everyone times out. Not really the experience I want to have for a server that's suppose to stay on 😦
I'm running everything on my own hardware with more than enough resources in every aspect to utilize both server + game.

I'm seeing this error in the logs right after I disconnect.
LogServer: Error: FMultiBindDatagramSocket failed to read data from underlying socket Unreal: SE_ECONNRESET
Anyone know a fix for this? I didn't see anything in the FAQ or the pinned messages

hey there, just run into a problem that i can't update my server through steamcmd,here's what happen, earlier today i found that this game has an update, and i tried to use the command to update the game like app_update 1690800 it did started verifing the files, but the moment it started, for some reason idk i shown update success(like verifing 1% or something like that) but the game version dose not change, and then i tried just delete the whole server file and wanted it to re-download the whole server and here's what i got

i've only seen a few dll file in the server dir

is it the game's issue or something happened with my steamcmd or the firewall stuff

and sorry for if i walk the wrong door cause im not sure should i go to the questing-and-help or just open a ticket for it and i thought it is something wrong with the dedicated server and i post it here

I just triggered one of my dedicated servers to reinstall and am seeing the same pattern of behaviour as you reported.
What is interesting was that a fresh install server from scratch is working, so not sure why this is failing to update existing installs.

[mint junco]

I just got one of my servers online as follows;
Renamed the dedicated server folder to (old).
Ran the reinstall again.
This created a new server install folder in parallel.
Moved my ini files from the old install to the new install.
All the save files and blueprints are under the .config folder so no change required there.
Server version is now aligned with the client and available.
No changes required to the install script.
No requirement to run steamcmd under my steam credentials.
Once I'm happy the game is behaving normally, delete the old install folder.
In the meantime can zip it to save space.

First attempt to join the server failed.
It's nice to see that buffer overflows are now more reliable. 🤔

Second attempt to join crashed the client

Third attempt to join successful.
Now to do the same with my main save.

Network Quality reverted to Medium, changed that back to Ultra.
As I recall that happens after every update, so is not new.
Looks like it requires a server restart due to the red circle arrow icon.

[mint junco]

Main save back online, using the same technique outlined above.
The network quality is still on Ultra so the jury is out on that one.

[mental python]

didnt work for me - when i try to reinstall the dedicated server via steamcmd it tells me "ERROR! Failed to install app '1690800' (No subscription)

i think steamcmd is broken - i have never needed a copy of the game in steam - have it only on epic btw (i bought it when it came out)

hm...palworld and valheimn do update...

im not sure if coffee stain can actually give it free for all or just to those who bought it on steam

[mint junco]

Ah so you don't actually own Satisfactory on Steam.
It would seem logical that if you don't own the game on that platform that you are not entitled to download the dedicated server.
Although usually it can be downloaded using anonymous credentials.
And in fact my server install command line is using anonymous.
Perhaps in this case, if you are using the GUI it's doing an ownership test and it's failing as you don't own the game on Steam.

[mental python]

worked for years thou

[mint junco]

Totally agree, this appears to be a new behaviour.

[mental python]

and i login anonymously - i always did...

and it only shows me the message if i wanna reinstall - not when i try to update

[mint junco]

Are you using the GUI or a command line?
If GUI, recommend looking up the command line reference.

[mental python]

btw i try to update via steamcmd - no gui

command line

force_install_dir and so on - always used it - never had a problem - only had to double click taht update-batch-file and i was fine

[cloud spire]

it work that out for me thanks man

although it is still confusing that delete the original server file would not work, force install dir to another path would not work(for me),only thing work is that rename the old server path and let it create a new file

[mental python]

just to clarify...i installed the server via epicstore and just run it - its running now - it did take my save of steamcmd...

so it must have something to do with steamcmd not giving data to some? people

[grim nest]

what can i use to link satrisfactory to discord?

[noble sluice]

Dedicated Server and Satisfactory isn't the same game. You have to buy satisfactory but dedicated server is for free and you don't need an account on Steam to download and run Dedicated Server hence the +login anonymous...
Just downloaded DS from Steam now with Steamcmd in Ubuntu... Worked...

[severe pecan]

Hi all, I've got a quick question - I have a dedicated server (hosted via Gravelhost) - However every time it resets / restarts, the auto pause option switches on. Is there a way to disable this so that it does not switch it off every time ?

[noble sluice]

Gravelhost has 24/7 DISCORD SUPPORT.....

[severe pecan]

I'm well aware - it's just a setting somewhere probably that's quite a common one and people know ?

[noble sluice]

It's in Server settings...

[severe pecan]

I untick it, however every time the server restarts, it's ticked back on - I'm guessing in a server config file, its set to default to autopause - Just wondering if anyone knows which file to edit

[noble sluice]

I don't know how Gravelhost build up and present their services to their customer.

[severe pecan]

Just all server files

[mental python]

i did always login anonymously - but i said i have no permisson - dunno - installed it via epic and now im fine

[digital goblet]

I'm still getting this reported bug from almost 2 months ago, do you know if this was ever fixed? SE_ECONNRESET error

[quartz scarab]

nah, if i remember correctly someone said it was a problem with unreal engines dedicated servers so im unsure of how much coffeestain can do to fix it but hopefully they fix it soon

[fierce wigeon]

Searched back in here and found the 'server offline when I disconnect' is due to bug with windows. Any suggestion/recommendation for which which Linux distro to use in WSL? edit:~~ giving Debian a try.~~ trying Ubuntu

[fleet aurora]

If anyone else is running their server inside pufferpanel and having trouble updating to 1.0.0.10, it's due to Steam API changes breaking DepotDownloader. There's a fix posted in the pufferpanel discord support channel.

[quick mist]

I have an example implementation of a bot on my GitHub repo (linked on the Wiki) that shows how to use the API to send server status updates to Discord if that's what you're looking for.

[grim nest]

Player list, stop, start etc?

Can you link me plz?

[quick mist]

currently stop/start (actually online/offline) is implemented but you can use the API to add player count to things you look for, sure. It's here: https://github.com/dopeghoti/SF-Tools/tree/main/DiscordBot

[grim nest]

thank you

[quick mist]

cheers

[grim nest]

can i msg you with any questions

[quick mist]

[uncut marlin]

hi I make dedicadet server and I have problem, don't know what is my public ip for server is...

[remote barn]

linux??

[uncut marlin]

win11

[remote barn]

Oh no

Alr

Go on whats my ip

There itll state ur ip

Aaaand if u wannt people froom outsideee of urrr home to play with u

[uncut marlin]

outside

[remote barn]

U need portforwarding in your router

U did that?

If not i can assist u

[uncut marlin]

no

ok

[remote barn]

Ok

Got ur ip?

Delete that

Fast

Lol

Alr

Where u from

Germany?

[uncut marlin]

poland

[remote barn]

Alr so what router u got

[uncut marlin]

orange

[remote barn]

U know how to access ur routers configuration

?

[uncut marlin]

y

[remote barn]

U need to do some portforwarding

Ports are like roads to ur router u have thousands but they are closed to the public
If u want to host a server on ur network u need to open these specific roads for the server to use

And thats done in ur routers config

U understand me?

Or u use something like hamachi or radmin vpn

[uncut marlin]

found nat/pat

[remote barn]

Nat/par?

[uncut marlin]

where can set what port will not blocked by firewall

[remote barn]

On win ?

[uncut marlin]

router

[remote barn]

Send me a screen of that config

[remote barn]

Did u add this rule?

[uncut marlin]

y

[remote barn]

Alr gimme sec

That looks good

[uncut marlin]

problem is what public ip to use

even I can't connect when I use

[hardy galleon]

Usually just whatever it says it www.ipchicken.com

[remote barn]

Yes

The ip u jusr send looked good

[hardy galleon]

You won't be able to connect using that ip that, that's for everyone else

[uncut marlin]

if somehow to check in console

[wicked knot]

You connect using LAN IP. The router config, DHCP tab should list it

[hardy galleon]

Or if the server is on the same machine that your playing on, you can use 127.0.0.1

[wicked knot]

AKA %localhost%

[uncut marlin]

already use ip from router, it worked

now how others can connect to server

[wicked knot]

external/public IP

[uncut marlin]

can't connect, its offline

[wicked knot]

this need to be open for TCP and UDP traffic

[remote barn]

Just add a nother rule with udp instead of tcp

[uncut marlin]

think it's working

[remote barn]

Uiii

[foggy atlas]

fixmas wont load on my server

how to fix?

[remote barn]

What does mod loader say

[foggy atlas]

?

[remote barn]

How u loading the mod

[foggy atlas]

witch mod

[remote barn]

Fixmas

Aint this a mod?

[foggy atlas]

i dont think so

[remote barn]

Oh lol

What is it?

[foggy atlas]

Nvm I fixed it the server time was wrong it was set to Europe time and over there dec 1 started 5 min ago

[remote barn]

Oki

[foggy atlas]

Sorry for bothering you

[remote barn]

Dw xD we all have no life

[cold narwhal]

Hey now dpnm

don't speak for everyone here

I don't have a life either, but still

[wicked knot]

[remote barn]

Chill dude

[remote barn]

I see thats the update that fkkd my cluster

[cold narwhal]

definitely joking.

[remote barn]

Okok im soorry

Ive seen insane things in this channel some people are beyond

[cold narwhal]

So have I, completely get it

[wraith folio]

what ip adress do i use to start my dedicated server

i put in my public ip and all i see is server name pending and nothing happens

[foggy atlas]

what software are you using to manage your server?

[wraith folio]

what do you mean

[foggy atlas]

do you use a software to manage it

[wraith folio]

no i just using the free dedicated server i watch a video and set it up properly but it is coming up like this

[foggy atlas]

what video?

send it to me ill check it

[wraith folio]

ok giv me a minute

[foggy atlas]

ok

[wraith folio]

did you see it

[cold narwhal]

Your dedicated server will run on the IP you set on the host and config files

Are you self-hosting or is it 3rd party?

[lyric garnet]

Do you have to pay for servers?

[wicked knot]

If you self host, its just a little increase on the power bill. If you use a service, yeah, they kinda want to get paid

[unkempt ember]

I've been playing for several weeks on a server I setup with https://github.com/apeggers/satisfactory-server-aws

With the new update I got a version mismatch so I clicked the created API link hoping that would reboot the server

This closed my existing EC2 instance and clicking the API link again started a new one, but when I enter the new IP into the game's server manager it says the server appears offline

Anybody able to help me restart it through amazon's session manager?

[unkempt ember]

Can anyone tell me what this means:
steamcmd[11790]: Error! App '1690800' state is 0x6A6 after update job.

[civic barn]

sounds like a crash during the update or something

[unkempt ember]

When I do systemctl status satisfactory.service it seems to just be stuck in pre-activation and looping

[hidden forge]

If the Server runs in your home network put in the internal IP.

[mint junco]

See my posts on this from yesterday.
The current patch is not updating existing servers with steamcmd.
That's the error you're getting.
#dedicated-servers message

I came up with a technique for bringing the server back online and at current patch level yesterday and both my servers are back online.
This post.
#dedicated-servers message

I'm fairly convinced now that you only need to capture the ini files from the old install folder.
This applies to Linux but at least one person on Windows used the same technique to get their server operational again.

[heady sluice]

For some reason , ficsmas isn't on in my dedicated server , I load the same save file locally and it's on...has anybody got any ideas?

[mint junco]

Do you have seasonal events disabled in the server options?
Is the advent calendar visible in the hub?
Is the date correct on the server?
Has the server been restarted since the date ticked over to first December?
Is the server running the current patch?

[heady sluice]

I ended up loading the local save back onto the server and re-re-re-starting the server game, now it works (shrug) , no snow , doggos don't have red noses...but rest is working.

[topaz dew]

Any chance they fix it without me having to go through that whole process

[quartz fern]

is this how to Disable the Christmas event?
a Dedicated Server using SteamCMD on Ubuntu server. Go into /server/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini

Then replace " mIntValues=() " with "mIntValues=(("FG.DisableSeasonalEvents", 1))

is this correct ? Or is there something else I need to do ?

[topaz dew]

I set it to mIntValues=(("FG.DSAutoPause", 0),("FG.SendGameplayData", 0),("FG.DisableSeasonalEvents", 1)) and I still get the error

also a Dedicated Server using SteamCMD on Ubuntu server. Go into /server/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini

Im using the docker compose version

[tough pilot]

I understand this is old however this is applicable to the following bug reports: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66eaad3a772a987f4a8b9470 and https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/67035536ddb9d97e071edb8a

I experienced "ghost foliage" this morning and the same errors in my server log but was seemingly able to resolve it.

I edited the steps I documented for myself and wanted to share:

• Connect via SSH/RDP/console to your Satisfactory computer/VM/VPS/etc.
• Stop the Satisfactory dedicated server.
• Backup the current Engine.ini file by making a copy and saving the copy as Engine.ini.bak.

  • Add the following to the bottom of Engine.ini:

    [ConsoleVariables]
    net.MaxNumberOfAllowedTArrayDeletionsPerUpdate=4096
    net.MaxNumberOfAllowedTArrayChangesPerUpdate=4096
    net.MaxConstructedPartialBunchSizeBytes=131072

  • I use LinuxGSM and my Engine.ini can be found here: /home/<USERNAME>/LinuxGSM/Satisfactory/serverfiles/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini

• Start the Satisfactory dedicated server with.
• Connect to the server's Console via the Satisfactory Server Manager.
• Enter net.MaxNumberOfAllowedTArrayDeletionsPerUpdate and confirm the output is 4096.
• Enter net.MaxNumberOfAllowedTArrayChangesPerUpdate and confirm the output is 4096.
• Enter net.MaxConstructedPartialBunchSizeBytes and confirm the output is 131072.

Hopefully this helps someone if they are encountering something similar!

I need some help. I created a locally hosted server on my pc and I cannot join it and my friends cannot find it when entering in the info in server manager. I setup firewall inbound and outbound and port forwarding. I dont understand what else i need to do. I have read the wiki extensively. I need some guidance. Thank you

[polar ibex]

My server doesn't seem to have allow Fiscmas to be active. I even put in the code for it in to allow it. Even on the client it is allow to be active. Bug?

[unkempt ember]

Thanks, I managed to do this and if I run FactoryServer.sh I can start the server and connect but it disconnects when I close my terminal

I don't understand the satisfactory.service that I created however that's the part that seems stuck

[hidden forge]

Do you host on the same system as you play?
What IP do you use on your computer to join?

[hidden forge]

Can you post the .service file?

[marble fjord]

I'm using Wolveix's Docker on Ubuntu 24.04, 12-core 1920x threadripper. Getting into building up the Phase 5 factories and the interactivity with the world is getting quite chonky... Tick rate reported is dropping into the ~30's on the server manager and belt animations and stuff are spotty...

doesn't seem to be lazer beaming a single CPU, but I'm not well versed on how the dedicated server handles wide vs fast CPUs...

Any tips for optimizations?

I know this is a unique setup but just seeing if anyone has any optimization tips.

I just remembered this is setup in Dual channel memory cuz I built it in the dark times of hardware prices, might be as simple as getting the memory kit config worked out (hmm)

[polar ibex]

Anybody have any ideas to why the game won't allow Ficsmas to run?

[frosty gale]

Warning to all dont build pipes they crashing servers at the moment

[dry arrow]

yes I play and host on the same pc. I read that I was able to do that on reddit. also I am using the IPv4 IP address for the server.

It reads the server is there on my end but I cannot join it and my friends enter the info and it cant find it at all

When I try to join it always says connection timed out

[hidden forge]

do you use your external IP, internal IP or 127.0.0.1?
if external, try internal or 127.0.0..1

[heady sluice]

is it hosted elsewhere? , the timezone for my server is 14 hours behind mine , also a server restart kick-started it for me.

[polar ibex]

The server is hosted locally and also the date is correct 12/1, I already reboot a few times even try the handle put it in the user setting when start up to 0 to make it work still nothing.

[noble sluice]

Use a command called screen.
Then it keeps running until you connect to that screen again with the command screen -r [tap tab here to fill in running screen id].

[noble sluice]

Restart the container...

[dry arrow]

i think i am using internal lemme check

i am using internal should i try external?

[hidden forge]

no, internal is right

check if the server is running
try with local firewall disabled

[dry arrow]

my friend finally could see the server will external but i can only see it with internal

ill try disabling firewall in a sec

[hidden forge]

oh, then it works fine

external IP will to 99,9% not work for yourself, but local ip is fine

[dry arrow]

i still cant join though. even my friends get the same error where connection times out

[hidden forge]

then we first need to get it working locally for you.
check the console if it is running (and if fresh install, waiting to be claimed)

[dry arrow]

I already claimed it i just cannot join the server

Its been running but nobody can join. when we hit join game it loads the normal screen as if you were joining but kicks us to the main menu saying connection timed out

[hidden forge]

did you create a world after claiming?

[dry arrow]

yes

[hidden forge]

any errors on the console?

[dry arrow]

not that I can see but I can check again. stand by

this is the only error-ish message i see client says your connection to the host was lost

[raw frigate]

Hey guys. I have a player trying to load his blueprints into a new save. We've made a blueprint designer and created a blueprint to make the required directory and pasted the blueprints in there. We've restarted the server, reloaded the save file, and they still do not appear. Anyone know how to resolve this?

[polar ibex]

I did I just rebooted it and after a while it showed up.

[raw frigate]

I think my misunderstanding is that it has to be on the host

That was it. I placed the blueprints on the host and they appear for the person they belong to after a server restart

search terms
"import blueprints"

If you are hosting on linux the directory is under Epic. ls -a

[wet furnace]

unlucky :/ do you know what I could try to update the current existing server? The usual update batch gets the same result...

it only downloads steamclient.dll , steamclient64.dll , tier0_s.dll , tier0_s64.dll , vstdlib_s.dll ,vstdlib_s64.dll

[sudden sentinel]

Client and Dedicated Windows Server on the same computer and when the local client disconnects, the server stops being on the network. I've only found ancient info in places. Is there any working workaround for this?

Is it possible to make a dedi server without me loosing my current world?

[winter abyss]

you can upload your saved games on the server from your local pc

[digital sphinx]

how do i do that?

[rain elm]

I just set mine up last night. Once you get the server started and go to claim it for the first time, there is an option within the server manager settings that lets you browse and upload your local saves.

[marble fjord]

Got a quad channel memory kit coming. DDR4 prices are like, 1/3 what they were O_O we'll see how it goes

[rocky raptor]

Hey how much RAM you guys got

And do you have constant crashes on 16GB

[hardy galleon]

16gb i was at full capacity, upgraded to 32gb and been running smooth since

[rocky raptor]

Good to know. I have two more 8GB sticks to be delivered today. Right now it crashes at least once per day based on usage. I was worried it was HDD related but then I looked at my RAM usage and it was hitting the limit before taking a dive

It's nice when htop shows the RAM usage hit cap and then freeze, so that I can see it minutes later haha

[mortal bluff]

i run on 8GB and haven't crashed yet idk if its the ram

[marble fjord]

I don't know if you were asking me specifically, but my dedicated server has 32 gigs of dual channel, but its a threadripper so thats not a great configuration. Getting the xtra sticks for quad channel. Memory amount didn't appear to be any issue

[rocky raptor]

Hm. Well I guess I'll find out the hard way then

[quartz aspen]

Hey there, I have some performance issues about exploring with friends. Only with exploring the map we get high server ping and the tick rate takes a hit. Is there an issue with my config or is it just shiti cpu?

Specs:

16gb ram ddr4 2133 mt/s (bios limit)
enough storage

[thorn plover]

Hi Friends. i have a question that you guys properly have had 1000 times..

New dedicated server on dedicated hardware. Standard port 7777
i can connect to the server on my Lan and set it up, but i am unable to connect from the internet.
I have Portforwarded should be fine in the firewall, but do i need some epic port forward rules?

[quartz aspen]

satisfactory has 2 more ports that needs forwarding

[frosty gale]

hey guys,
I have a high performance satisfactory server configured and want to test where the limits are. the results and configs will be published. is there anyone who can send me very large savegames?

[hidden forge]

you only need 7777, but both TCP and UDP

[noble sluice]

1 port but 2 protocols needs to be forwarded.
Port 7777 TCP and UDP...

[quartz aspen]

well since we got a response could u help with my issue few messages ago?

[hidden forge]

try more cores and check ram usage

[noble sluice]

Your ISP may have used a CGNAT.
Check if your public IP is in this range:
100.64.0.0 and 100.127.255.255

[quartz aspen]

yeah i have specificly configured 16gb but only 5 is used, but it isnt capped. Cpu doesnt reach 100%

[noble sluice]

Restart your server...

[quartz aspen]

already have, every time i changed config i restart my server.

[noble sluice]

It isn't anything wrong with dedicated server.
Your CPU is good enough(Single Thread Rating of 2435).
But high ping and tickrates do tell of low quality network.

[quartz aspen]

could it be cloudflare dns? we only have lag when someone is traveling to things we've never seen or doesnt go too for a while

[hidden forge]

that sounds more like an IO issue

[noble sluice]

DNS is only translating names to IP...

Then names and ip get stored in local DNS cache..

[quartz aspen]

alr so..

recommendations of what i should do?

[noble sluice]

Find the bottlenecks in you nettwork.
Any clients using WiFi?

[quartz aspen]

nope full ethernet 1gbps

and prio on router

[noble sluice]

Any cable halv chewed over...
Is the switch/router getting warm...
and so on...
There is many thing that could reduce the experience of gaming...

Check you internett connection quality...
startrinity.com/InternetQuality/InternetConnectionMonitor.aspx

[quartz aspen]

nope new cables, switch and router aint hot. 30s test

[noble sluice]

How is the DS runned on the ProxMox?
You sayd enough storange but what kind of storage?
