dedicated-servers

[hidden forge]

with 1.1 there is a new port required. 8888/tcp by default. infinite laoding screen is a symptom of it being blocked

they need to add it in the server manager. either IP or DNS and the set base port

[placid breach]

7777 is the base port?

or 8888

and where do i find the ip to send them

[hidden forge]

7777 is base
8888 is then told by the server to the clients
-# substitute 7777 and 8888 with whatever you change them to

[hidden forge]

depends on where you host the server. if it's some kind of rented server its the same you use to join. if you host it yourself it's your external IP*
-# *:make sure your IP is public

[placid breach]

hosting on my own pc

how do i make my ip public

[hidden forge]

then for IPv4 your need your routers external and set up port forwarding and configure the firewall
and for IPv6 your need your global IP and configure the firewall too

[placid breach]

i can connect to my own server in the server manager

this is what my friends see

this is what i see

we both put in the exact same thing under "add server"

[hidden forge]

they wont be able to reach your PC with your internal IP
see my message above

[placid breach]

i added these rules

[hidden forge]

8888/udp is unneccesary but good

then you need to configure your router

[placid breach]

how

[hidden forge]

depends on your router

[placid breach]

can i do it through my computer?

[hidden forge]

most likely

[placid breach]

ok how do i start

[placid breach]

and how do i find my external ip

[hidden forge]

1. find your routers internal IP
2. connect to it using a web browser
3. find its WAN IP and check if its the same you get shown here: [https://]ip4.me/
4. google "<your router model> port forwarding" and follow whatever guide

[placid breach]

how to find router's internal ip?

is it ipconfig?

[hidden forge]

depends on your OS. on windows its "ipconfig /all" and then the IP shown as "default gateway"

[placid breach]

im assuming its under this

ok default gateway

[placid breach]

do i just plug the ip address into google to connect to it using a web browser?

[hidden forge]

address bar, not google

[placid breach]

i get this

am i meant to log in?

using what details lol

[hidden forge]

some kind of login information. i do not know who setup your router ¯_(ツ)_/¯

if you host on same machine as you play, you cloud save the effort and just open a game to multiplayer?

[tall bolt]

Check on the router

[placid breach]

yeah im prolly gonna do that

seems like to much work to set up a dedi server

[hidden forge]

pretty standard steps, but the advantage of letting the server run always is kinda lost when you host on a personal machine

[opaque cairn]

I've read the patch notes but I'm just gonna ask to make sure - the reliable port foundation glitch and the CPU overworking itself is still not fixed, is there a way to fix that anyway?

[wicked knot]

Right now, one of the suspects for that is lower port numbers are more subject to probes frm hackers, etc, and the increased traffic that causes uses CPU slices. Moving that to a higher port number reduces the chances of that happening but nothing can eliminate it

[hidden forge]

You can mitigate it by changing the new port to a less scanned one

[opaque cairn]

I'll try

[rotund ermine]

fun fact: The desync problems have not improved, and the CPU load has increased significantly. On port 8888, the load rose to around 25-30%, and now that this has been changed to a port above 50000, the load has increased to 60-70%. This is despite the server being restarted every 3 hours.

[golden basin]

I only have problems with a dedicated satisFactory server. Total desync with the clients and too high utilization of the server after a few hours. We have to reconect again and again so that we can build on, for example. Foundations just stay blue instead of being built. Or they are built invisibly and lead to players laid around. It is only synchronized again after a reconnect and works for a short time. ( sry Google Translate )

[dusty hazel]

that's weird my server has a uptime of 5 days and still idle at 6% of a single core with the reliable changed how did u changed it ? redirection or completly new port ?

[sweet yacht]

So my server is working, but I am getting a couple errors if anyone could help with them possibly?

[dusty hazel]

what are they ?

[sweet yacht]

I get this error on restart/opening the server: [2025.07.27-14.15.24:504][ 0]LogNavigation: Error: Navmesh bounds are too large! Limiting requested tiles count (306440) to: (65536) for FGEliteNavMesh /Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Persistent_Level.Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.FGEliteNavMesh-Elite

And the second error is: LogSocketsSSL: Warning: Failed to initialize SSL state for Socket HttpRequest LogHttpListener: Error: Error accepting expected connection [0] SE_NO_ERROR [2025.07.27-15.40.36:712][912]LogSocketsSSL: Warning: Failed to initialize SSL state for Socket HttpRequest [2025.07.27-15.40.36:713][912]LogHttpListener: Error: Error accepting expected connection [0] SE_NO_ERROR

not sucking up ram or CPU or anything, but I wasnt getting these errors a few days ago, and I restart my server (close it out and open it) once a day

[dusty hazel]

this one is "normal" if u have an auto signed certificate the other one shouldn't be critical, is ur world "big" ?

[sweet yacht]

well The base isnt absolutely gigantic or anything, and the world/map itself is whatever the server default is :/

that nvmesh error has been an error since I started running my server lol

[dusty hazel]

if it doesn't crash the server u shouldn't worry to much

[sweet yacht]

JUst making sure, like I said not having any performance issues or crashes or anything, just don't like seeing errors 😛

CPU usage is at 0 and ram usage is around 4-5GB of 256GB

[dusty hazel]

yeah some errors are dev sided too

256gb ?????

damn

[sweet yacht]

yes lol

I run my server on a physical HPE DL380 G9 machine (I run an ark cluster on occassion, which absolutely loves ram)

[dusty hazel]

a bit overkill xD

[sweet yacht]

never such a thing as overkill for hardware 😛

since (you ardanos IIRC) told me about the reliable port thing, I haven't had any issues with CPU usage 🙂

[dusty hazel]

that's nice to hear imagine the electric bill with this cpu at 100% xDD

[sweet yacht]

lmao yeah I keep an eye on my racks power usage

that server is using about 265 watts with task manager looking the way it does right now

not much worse than a high performance desktop PC

[dusty hazel]

that's not that much

[sweet yacht]

and yeah, that's why I came in here asking why the server was sucking the CPU lol, too epensive to let the server run rogue lol

expensive*

[inner scroll]

Is there something wrong with DS? My server now says it appears to be offline while it's running

[dusty hazel]

got the right ip/port in server manager ?

[inner scroll]

Been running the same server locally for nearly 2 years...but let me check

[dusty hazel]

check if u don't have multiple instance running too

maybe ur ip changed cause of dynamic ip too

[inner scroll]

yeah...that's what I'm gonna check

[dusty hazel]

u can check it with curl -4 ifconfig.me in cmd

[inner scroll]

wait....where do I find my current added server info so I can see if its different than what I had

[dusty hazel]

don't delete it put the ip u get and if it doesn't add anything it's the same

[inner scroll]

its same

[dusty hazel]

restart server ?

[inner scroll]

3 times already

[dusty hazel]

ports still opened ?

any vpn on ?

[inner scroll]

yep

no vpn

[dusty hazel]

try with ur local ip

[inner scroll]

server name pending.....not Authenticated

[dusty hazel]

can u claim it something ?

[inner scroll]

I cant do anything....none of the tabs work

[dusty hazel]

willing to give me the ip in private so i can check ?

[vernal birch]

Hello all we have a Gportal server how do our friends join it ? as there videos showing us how to do it

[wicked knot]

gportal provided you with an IP address and port number, to join. Give that info to your friends

[vernal birch]

ok thank as the server is already set uo they wouldnt have to set it like we had to will they

[wicked knot]

no, that is for the first person that joins, to claim and name the server

[vernal birch]

thank you very much for your help

[patent patio]

Hello i run somethimes in the problem that builds aren't build or that it leaves a blue ghost. anyone got an idea to reduce the change of getting that?

[inner scroll]

no....it's part of the Desync issue with 1.1. Just have to exit to menu and rejoin

[hidden forge]

based on that screenshot i assume you host on the same system as you play? also on windows?
what ip did you enter in the server maager to join? 127.0.0.1?

[inner scroll]

Its all fixed...scum server i was running had an incorrectly swtup bat file that was using the same port as one of my satisfactory servers

[robust fossil]

would anyone be able to kind of show me a step by step how to properly install a server on Pterodactyl?

[grizzled condor]

Seems more unique to the OS, not this game.

[mild thunder]

download the latest egg and then upload the egg to the pterodactyl server. Create 2 allocations(ports) you want for the server. Create New server. Default allocation is the port you connect to, and add the secondary allocation, fill that port into the Reliable Port blank at the bottom. fill out the other blanks as you need to.

from the screenshots i saw earlier, you had an old egg, delete it and don't use it

[robust fossil]

oh

thank you so much for the help

[mild thunder]

if you need a link to the new egg, i can send it to you.

[robust fossil]

that would be awesome

[left stag]

if anyone want to join my server come 127.0.0.1

[molten hollow]

Would someone be able to help me understand my server issues, please?

I have forwarded port 7777 (TCP/UDP), 8888 (TCP/UDP) but I'm faced with an infinite loading screen. I can get into the server from a local IP address without any issues, so I know its networking related.
I've set the firewall rules to allow all these ports too, and when I check if the ports are open in a browser, I'm seeing they are open when the server is running
When checking the listening ports within Windows, as showing in the example, I'm not seeing the 0.0.0.0 line, only the :: line, so I wonder if this would be the reason. Do you know how to resolve this?

[mild thunder]

look at the firewall rule for the 8888 port and double check that allow edge traversal is on.

[molten hollow]

It was set to block, so I've allowed this but I'm still getting an infinite loading screen. Works fine on t he local IP still

I do see these errors in the console. Could they be causing any issues?

LogHttpListener: Error: Error accepting expected connection [0] SE_NO_ERROR```

[molten hollow]

Still unsure why my loopback address is missing

[warped lance]

hey, I'm trying to get a dedicated server running on my home server. It's not very high specs, so it's possible that's the problem, but I was able to run a 1.0 server for a while on it with relatively few issues, other than some lag.

But, now that I'm trying to update to 1.1, I'm running into issues. I can't seem to log into it. I was getting disconnected for a while, I looked up the issues, and I increased the timeout timer to 120.0. But now it's been trying to connect for about 20 minutes with no apparent progress.

I'm curious if this is simply that the server isn't fast enough to run 1.1, or if I maybe did something wrong with the installation. I believe when I installed the server, I overwrote the 1.0 files... which might have been a mistake in retrospect. But, I'm curious if anyone else has had issues with it.

I'm using a Linux server

[hidden forge]

:: is the ipv6 version of 0.0.0.0. Maybe something is already using the port?
Try removing the 8888/UDP forwarding rule?
Did you set up any kind of port remapping?

[hidden forge]

Did you add the new secondary port 8888/TCP?

[warped lance]

I did not. Is that in the router?

the guide I found said that 7777 is the only port it uses. And I'm trying to connect via LAN to test it out.

[hidden forge]

Anywhere you had to set up the base port too

[warped lance]

if I'm using the wrong guide, then I will require finding an updated one.

[warped lance]

is there anything else I should be doing? Or is it okay to test with just adding the port?

I guess there's not much to say without a more detailed setup

[hidden forge]

"Only 7777" is 1.0
Probably not updated for 1.1

[molten hollow]

I did not. The server should be using IPv4 though as IPv6 is disabled on the machine. Is there any way to force it to use IPv4?

[hidden forge]

Set -Multihome=0.0.0.0

[molten hollow]

That wasn't working, but I managed to get it working by putting a space after =

It's now using IPv4 and I can see the loopback is working correctly, however whenever anyone tries to connect using the public IP, it'll accept them, start to load them in, and then display this message in the log
[2025.07.28-11.12.10:861][830]LogReliableMessaging: Connection to peer lost. Disconnecting player.

I can see that it's finding the person who is connecting and names them by their username. I can even see it gets through a bunch of accepted connections before it eventually just displays that error message. Any reason this could be?

[hidden forge]

Probably an issue with the UDP connection. Or do they get an "infinite" loading screen?

[molten hollow]

Infinite loading screen, yeah 🙂 I can hear the game running in the background and can swing my sword and stuff, but can't get past the loading screen

[shrewd fulcrum]

how do i get my blueprints on my server?

its running on a different pc than my gaming pc

[hidden forge]

Then the connection to port 8888/TCP is blocked

[molten hollow]

What should I check to ensure that this is open? I was certain that I followed every step to make sure this was unblocked

[hidden forge]

Check that the server opens the correct ports ✅

Check that the firewall does not block the connection

Check that the port forwarding is working correctly

[molten hollow]

Ports look to be forwarded fine

[hidden forge]

Can you check with powershell?
Test-Netconnection <IP> -Port 8888?

[molten hollow]

Looks good from what I can see

It's definitely something to do with the Reliable messaging transport - Is this controlled by 8888 or a different port?

[hidden forge]

192.168.0.0/16 is a private IP.
Can you check with your Routers internal and external IP?

[molten hollow]

This was from my external IP, so I'm unsure why the source address is showing as my private IP

Tested it with my private IP and same outcome:

[hidden forge]

My bad, didn't read the text fully

[molten hollow]

I can only assume this is where it's all falling down, but I've checked over these many times. What are the exact specifics that I should be setting up in the firewall?
7777 TCP/UDP
8888 TCP/UDP
Allow Edge Traversal on the 8888?

[hidden forge]

try enableing it

[molten hollow]

What would you like me to enable sorry? Those rules should already be in place - Do I have to perform a separate step after they're created?

[hidden forge]

i meant edge traversal

[molten hollow]

Ah yes - That's already in place too. It's set to 'Allow Edge Traversal' on the Inbound Rules I have set up. Would it affect it if its on multiple rules, or should it only be set to allow on the 8888 UDP?

[hidden forge]

8888 is tcp

did you restrict source Ports?

[molten hollow]

Not to my knowledge - Is there somewhere I can confirm this?

[hidden forge]

no, unrestricted is correct

can you post a screenshot of the Firewall and port forwarding rules?

[molten hollow]

Okay great! 🙂 Just to confirm, here are the screenshots of the firewall rules:

I then have the rules from the wiki too that point to this file with Any/Any: %USERPROFILE%\steamcmd\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryServer.exe

[hidden forge]

yeah, Firewall is wrong way. 7777 & 8888 are local ports

also they need to be inbound rules

[molten hollow]

Okay so change those rules to be local port instead of remote port? They're already set up as inbound rules

[deep turret]

yep, remote any
local server specific

when connecting client will set remote like 54937 randomly

[molten hollow]

Going to run a test now! 🙂

Okay I still look to be stuck on the infinite loading screen. Can I confirm whether I should be connecting via port 7777 or port 8888? Currently I'm doing IP:7777 but just checking whether that is correct or not

[hidden forge]

Correct, you need to enter the base port, Default 7777

[molten hollow]

This is what I see before the infinite loading screen

[strange musk]

i dont think 7777 needs tcp, not whats causing ur problems but just fyi

[strange musk]

r u using docker compose?

[molten hollow]

Nah, I'm just using a Windows machine, but separate to the one I'm running the game from. It's running Windows 11

[strange musk]

r u using default ports or did u change them to something else?

[molten hollow]

Just the default ports. Nothing changed. 7777 and 8888

[hidden forge]

7777 is TCP & UDP, 8888 is TCP-only

@molten hollow can you try turning off the firewall entirely for testing?

[molten hollow]

Done and still getting the same message as here:

Dug a little deeper into the server a bit and decided to generate a new world to see if that would resolve anything. It loaded in instantly, which leads me to believe that there's an issue with the save file. Not really sure how to resolve that honestly

[hidden forge]

@molten hollow the host server is in your local network? Everything works when you connect using the servers local IP?
If you send me your IP via DM I can try some stuff from truly outside your network
Just busy with some IRL stuff rn

[dusty hazel]

I can help too if @hidden forge is too busy

[nimble trout]

Hi all, after some searching and reading this discord it seems like ports are the primary cause of servers not getting up and running... anyone know how to work with ports when using a service provider to host the server? I'm using EVLBOX and have a ticket open with them as well. I edited FactorServer.sh to include -Port=7784 and -ReliablePort7784 . ELVBOX by default gives you "non-default port" but I can pay more for default port if that's the real fix....

[dusty hazel]

-Port=7784 and -ReliablePort7784 if both ports are the same it's not gonna work

[nimble trout]

I had tried just -ReliablePort=7784 at first, just added Port

Let me try doing just Port

[dusty hazel]

if ports aren't default u need to specify both of them therefore u need to know both of the ports they opened for u 7784 must be ur base port but need a second one

[nimble trout]

got it thanks! I'll work with the provider. Anything specific they need to know to open the second port?

[dusty hazel]

only TCP rule for reliable port and they need to provide start up argument such as -port=xxxx and -reliableport=xxxx

[nimble trout]

is FactoryServer.sh the right place to include the startup commands? This is what my file looks like:

[dusty hazel]

yup just after -Port=7784 u need -ReliablePort=xxxx with xxx being the other port

[nimble trout]

thanks! Will come back when the provider responds to confirm if it worked

[dusty hazel]

keep us in touch

[molten hollow]

Appreciate it! - I think all the networking stuff seemed fine in the end and the issue really was the save. I had my friend testing at the same time and we couldn't even get the file to work on listen. It would work solo for us both separately, but it just gave us infinite loading (even on listen) from that save. We eventually managed to get in, make some progress, and then create another save. It seems that it was just struggling to load the sheer amount of stuff. Thank you for all the help so far! I'm hoping that there might be some performance stuff coming in any future updates as the reason we tried moving to Dedicated in the first instance was because the host was losing a lot of FPS whenever someone joined

[river panther]

I need help pls
I was making a server port forwarded main port, tried to join, infinite loading, forwarded 8888 to fix, now server not showing up in game server manager

[dusty hazel]

u need two ports 7777 TCP/UDP and 8888 TCP

i think u changed 7777 to 8888

so now the server appear offline

[river panther]

I forwarded 25566 and added -port=25566 to startup bat I used 25566 for minecraft in the past

streaming socket bound to 8888

[dusty hazel]

change it for another on like 45435

don't use ports u used before

if u need to change Reliable port u can do so with -ReliablePort=xxxx

[river panther]

alright chief I will try thx <3

[dusty hazel]

try and tell us if it works

[compact kettle]

What system was the dedicated server on and also how about the pc that was struggling? What were the specs of both?

---

I had an i9 ultra, 32GB (7000) Ram, 4070, Nvme etc..

Dedicated server was only on an older i7 (9th gen) 32ram, nvidia 1660 etc..

[rotund ermine]

complete new port. Here's what the task manager looks like and how the server is started. The server was last restarted less than two hours ago (6 p.m.). The refresh rate also looks terrible at the moment. See image.

[dusty hazel]

what does the port rule look like ?

[rotund ermine]

In the router?

[dusty hazel]

yeah

[rotund ermine]

give me a sec

Identical for port 7777, except that there is additional approval for UDP.

[molten hollow]

Both connecting PCs are very high end, it just seems to be when there's a ton of things palced in one area and you log off there. We had around 460~ machines and 5-6~ trains in the area, so I suspect that's the cause. It just crashes the game after a while of loading, so you just have to get lucky really whether the game loads or not

[dusty hazel]

should be ok that's weird :/

[wicked knot]

Sounds like you need to extend the timeout period

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files#Client_disconnected_for_Timeout

[molten hollow]

What should I set it to do you think?

[wicked knot]

Double the seconds current?

if it times out at 30, use 60, if it times out at 60, 120

the more you build, the longer it takes to pass all the data on connection

[molten hollow]

Will check those settings when I get a moment, double and then test a bit later on - Thank you! 🙂

[wicked knot]

the edit must be while the srver is down

[rotund ermine]

:/

[molten hollow]

Will make sure it is when I make the change, thanks!

[rotund ermine]

The only other thing I notice is a relatively high ping. It fluctuates between 60-100 ms, occasionally jumping up to 140 ms.

[amber cargo]

who can invite me to their server so i can help and build space elevators parts

[deft onyx]

Hi I have an issue, I'm sorry but I wanted to link the logs and configs but discord limitations...
I packed it in issue.md

I'm wondering if my issue is due to this or not

[nimble trout]

Hi - coming back to confirm speaking with the service provider to open another port resolved the issue:

From EVLBOX Support:
You are absolutely right, our auto setup script wasn't able to provision the reliable communications port. Instead of failing, it set your server up anyway. I do apologize for that. I also appreciate the extra research you did, most people wouldn't do that 🙂 Assigned a reliable comm port now 9720 and made sure your server was using it in the startup script. Please let me know if you are still facing issues.

I'm able to connect to my server through server manager now. I haven't had friends try to connect but I imagine it's not much different except to use the player password

[sly juniper]

At first glance, it looks like you are missing TCP 7777

[hidden forge]

@deft onyx same system hosting and playing? which OS? which IP do you use to connect?

[deft onyx]

omg if its this

[dusty hazel]

Nice everything is sorted out have a good game then !

[sly juniper]

Let me know

[dusty hazel]

8888 UDP isn't needed tho

[deft onyx]

omfg

I think it was

There was a second page on my FW and I misstyped

Lemme check

[hidden forge]

ah yeah, missed the firewall settings. ardanos is right

[deft onyx]

Well done

We can update the kvm64 warning from the wiki too ! ❤️

@hidden forge Do we need more config to reproduce?

The wiki doesn't state much information beside "kvm64 won't work" so I can't even try to reproduce the issue

[hidden forge]

afaik kvm64 is still a no go. would have to test to be sure
but don't confuse kvm64 with x86-64/amd64

[deft onyx]

yeah kvm is virtualising a AMD EPYC-Rome Processor

[hidden forge]

kvm64 is a generic virtual 64bit CPU, it's neither amd nor intel

[deft onyx]

Oh gotcha I'm not runing on KVM, it's just my local hypervisor

I don't have the ownership of my hypervisor so can't tell what they used for the cloud server

[hidden forge]

according to your lscpu you are running on an "amd epyc rome", which is probably a qemu CPU model, but one with flags based on a true CPU

[feral rock]

Can I turn off all of the error froms buildables etc?

[hidden forge]

@deft onyx see the difference in CPU flags in this small sample. kvm64 is missing a few that are required for DediServer. Don't know which ones in particular
-# (note "rome" is not amd rome and just amd epyc)

[deft onyx]

hmm kvm might not support certain flags then

Might actually be outdated

[hidden forge]

not "does not support", rather "does not expose"
its intended as minimal viable set so VMs can live migrate between different physical CPUs

[deft onyx]

Oh so it's intended choice by design

[hidden forge]

also yes it's outdated xD

[charred pivot]

trying to get a friend to connect to my dedicated server but this is the furthest we've gotten. its showing properly on my end and the log is showing his IP communicating with the server but its not letting him connect

[charred pivot]

this is was pops up when he tries the Join game. i see his computer trying to connect to the server on my logs

[wicked knot]

It's taking longer than 20 seconds for the server to send the game data to the client. You can extend that timeout in the server config files

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files#Client_disconnected_for_Timeout

[charred pivot]

Thanks!

[rough cobalt]

guys, how do i load a friends save file into my game?

ive already tried to move the save into my appdata but it isnt appearing ingame

[opal frost]

alguien para jugar satisfactory ?

[deft onyx]

Where did you put it? Are you playing on epic or steam?

[rough cobalt]

steam

[deft onyx]

Where did you put your friends .sav file

[rough cobalt]

in uhh

the appdata section

%appdata%..\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames

@deft onyx

[deft onyx]

Where there your save files already or was it empty

[rough cobalt]

there was one .sav

do i have to delete

@deft onyx

[deft onyx]

No no

It’s just to check if the location is the one used by your game

[rough cobalt]

i got it!

allg

[deft onyx]

In-game do you see one of these?

[compact kettle]

https://www.thewindowsclub.com/process-tamer-100-cpu-utilization

had a random thought...

Could that little app help with the 100% cpu issues some people have? (which I never actually experienced actually..

[balmy hedge]

hi guys trynna set up a server and its wrecking my head

i tried with steam and epic first cos it was "simple and easy" but server kept having connect to server api issues

[deep turret]

there been work to make "kvm64-v2" "-v3" "-v4" for newer standards
but it's not commonly explained in tutorials and there are also different way they are named in settings, so it's not really straightforward
for better compatibility it's often better to select specific cpu models which match the required set
setting "host" providing basically host cpu information to the guest
advanced users tune it manually with set names
and beginners never touch these options
so the "newer base versions" are often unused at the end of the day

[balmy hedge]

then just now I did it using steamcmd

and still the same error

is anyone experiencin this

connectin to api issues

[deep turret]

except I think I've seen talk about making v2 default now

[balmy hedge]

before you ask

ive firewall set up correctly

with port 7777 udp and tcp

as well as 8888

so I dont know what could be causin this

[deep turret]

you mean the installation ?

it should not matter once the server run

[balmy hedge]

yeah true but same issue with steam epic and steamcmd

now Im runnin in steamcmd

it says listening to port

but connect to server api issue

[deep turret]

you added it to the server manager and trying to connect from that ?

[balmy hedge]

yesyes

[deep turret]

you try to connect from same local network ?

[balmy hedge]

yes

im not even worrying abt public

if I could even get it working with my private ip address

id be more than happy

[deep turret]

you connect on same computer ?

or is it 2 different computers ?

[balmy hedge]

same computer

[deep turret]

did you try "localhost" as address ?

[balmy hedge]

wdym

like private ipv4 address ?#

[deep turret]

In server manager
in address field
just put localhost

and add, to see what it tells you

[balmy hedge]

WTF

IT WORKED

or its askin me

for the server name

HOW

[deep turret]

claim server

[balmy hedge]

ur a genius

thanks so much

[deep turret]

it's not the end of the journey though

but at least you can check the server is working and configure it

[balmy hedge]

how did that work tho

what does localhost do

[deep turret]

it's a local dns name which resolve to so called "loopback" address
it basically ask it to connect to "this computer" internally

that's the most straightforward way to get it going

as it skips most firewall and routing stuff

it skips most network problems

it's a good test when you can do that

[balmy hedge]

ohhh right

and my brother on same network can join right ?

[deep turret]

once you double check it's working you can then focus on your networking problems

[balmy hedge]

ohhh

[deep turret]

what probably happened is you picked the wrong "private address"

otherwise your computer private address in this context would behave almost like localhost

[balmy hedge]

oh rlly

but I clicked ipconfig

and copied ipv4 address

from the cmdprompt

[deep turret]

it was something like 192.168.x.xx ?

[balmy hedge]

yes

[deep turret]

ok weird, then retry on same computer with 192.168 on same computer ipconfig ip address
only put the x.x.x.x no : no port

[balmy hedge]

wait srry i dont understand

[deep turret]

you can recheck the ip address that ipconfig gives you on the pc the server runs on
and try to add it to server manager again, as you did with localhost
only putting the bare ipv4 address there, without space, without port, without semi-colons

because it should work as with localhost

[balmy hedge]

oh yes

same thing

[deep turret]

what do you mean same thing ?

[balmy hedge]

the one with localhost worked

the other shows api error

[deep turret]

api error or not authenticated ?

[deep turret]

do you have mutliple ipv4 connections ?

[balmy hedge]

uh how do i tell

[hidden forge]

Disable firewall and try again

[balmy hedge]

or know i got multiple

[balmy hedge]

i did try by turning off from windows settings

[deep turret]

when you do ipconfig, do you have multiple list ?

scroll up on ipconfig command output

[hidden forge]

Or check in task manager

[balmy hedge]

no just one ipv4 address

[deep turret]

[balmy hedge]

idk man this is super confusin

i tried with firewall off again

same thing

idk why localhost only worked

wait

does default gateway mean anything

when i do ipconfig

[hidden forge]

How do you start the server? Any parameters defined?

[balmy hedge]

just followed the tutorial on wiki

click factoryserver

[hidden forge]

Gateway is the IP your client needs to traverse to reach the internet

[balmy hedge]

ah

makes sense

[deep turret]

gateway is where you configure forwarding when connecting from internet
but should not matter in local network

[balmy hedge]

one interesting thing i noted

is that before it was saying idle

but the server that doesnt work is showing game ongoing ever since i added using localhost

[deep turret]

you create a game from localhost?

because the server may be doing some tasks then

[balmy hedge]

yes like added using localhost

remember when you asked me to try that

[deep turret]

no I mean an actual game, in management tab you have the "create a game" button, did you click that ?

[hidden forge]

Can you try adding -multihome=0.0.0.0?

[balmy hedge]

where

[balmy hedge]

yes i did

clicked create game button when it asked me to claim server

[deep turret]

then check server console in what state it is

while the game is created you cant connect to it

if you click on the localhost one, it should tell you what its doing too

for testing connections, the server must be resting

[hidden forge]

Navigate to the save location of the exe, enter cmd in the file explorer address bar, then enter .\FactoryServer.exe -Multihome=0.0.0.0 in the console that appears

[deep turret]

I meant the server software console, not in the game, anyway check the status tab

[deep turret]

they have to close the server first

otherwise it will automatically make an other instance with different ports

[balmy hedge]

closed server and did that

and now its showing this again

[balmy hedge]

oh right

[balmy hedge]

status tab

[deep turret]

nice

so now, do not ask things to server, only connection checking

in the private address one, it shows the same ?

[balmy hedge]

in the private address

it shows

the api error

[deep turret]

you cant access status tab ?

[balmy hedge]

nope

[deep turret]

if you remove the localhost one, and restart the game client (not server) ?

[balmy hedge]

doing it now

[balmy hedge]

yeah still same api error

[deep turret]

the other person on the network can try to connect with the private address still then, but weird that you cant

[deep turret]

if you cant still, you can retry this but
with -multihome=:: instead, after making sure every satisfactory server is full closed first (checking in task manager)

if it still does not work, then there is something going on with your firewall settings

[balmy hedge]

super weird

trying that worked this time

but only for localhost

private ip still shows api error

[deep turret]

you re added localhost ?

[balmy hedge]

yes after i saw with private it wazs showing error again

added localhost to see if that would work

[deep turret]

if you clicked "cancel" to the automatic windows firewall popup, then you have drop rules aside of the allow rules, which cancels the allow rules
you must delete these, they show with a stop/cancel tag/sign

[balmy hedge]

i clicked allow

[deep turret]

you may want to go search your firewall rules for both inbound and outbound and remove all of them related to satisfactory
then readd them only like in the official wiki https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[balmy hedge]

does there need to be outbound rules as well ?

for 7777 and 8888

[deep turret]

no but check that you have none

check all rules related to satisfactory

non only 7777 8888

the popup ones are generic

[balmy hedge]

do i delete these inboiund

[deep turret]

yep

because there is high probability you have duplicates and conflicts

check outbounds

[balmy hedge]

did that

same thing

[deep turret]

so now you have no rules for satisfactory at all ?

[balmy hedge]

yeah none

[hidden forge]

Which firewall profile did you disable? All three?

[balmy hedge]

yes all 3

[deep turret]

recently it has been a bit of misleading to try to disable firewall completely, because there are antivirus softwares etc.. which prevent it from being disabled

windows basically is not designed to run without its firewall running now

so in the end its more reliable to check rules

[hidden forge]

Defender allows it. But true, others might block still block it

[balmy hedge]

i see

this is rlly odd has this happened to anyone else

[deep turret]

now that you have blank plat for rules

it will be easier to setup

but double check you are seeing all the rules, not only enabled one

[balmy hedge]

okay i triple checked

[deep turret]

drop ones shows like this btw

[balmy hedge]

question

can my brother on another pcd

pc

same network

join my localhost server

if he can then no worries thats the only reason iwas settin this server up

[hidden forge]

Not with localhost, but your IP

[deep turret]

now the most reliable is running the powershell script with all the settings for firewall

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Satisfactory default inbound port udp" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 7777
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Satisfactory default inbound port tcp" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 7777
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Satisfactory default reliable inbound port tcp" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 8888```

it will add the 3 needed inbound rules

that way you are sure there is no error in your rules, and there is only the 3 needed rules

(it comes almost directly from the wiki page : https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers)

what im getting

[deep turret]

yes expected, you have to run it in admin mode because its system settings

you can use shorcut : win + x a

or click "run as admin" in the start menu

or right click start button

and click Windows powershell (admin)

[balmy hedge]

[balmy hedge]

after using the admin version

[deep turret]

what

[deep turret]

try from that ?

is your firewall still disabled ?

there are some sketchy things going on in your pc ?

New-NetFirewallRule is a windows system thing, it comes installed with it

[balmy hedge]

i did yes

[balmy hedge]

no its enabled now

[balmy hedge]

oh damn

oh no sorry

thats my bad

there was a ^

when i copied mssg

it didnt give error when i tried again

[deep turret]

ok the go check your firewall

and refresh inbound rules list (f5, or go out then in, or close/reopen)

it should show the 3 rules

[balmy hedge]

yep

there now

[deep turret]

only 3 ?

[balmy hedge]

yes

[deep turret]

nice

then check in task manager you only have a single server running

[balmy hedge]

yep just one

[deep turret]

we want the only server running with -multihome=:: argument
nice

ok so then you can retry connecting with private ipv4 address, but recheck it, because it may have changed

[balmy hedge]

same thing

yeah same error

the one with localhost works

[deep turret]

can you do ping your_pc_ipv4 ?

are you using a vpn software ?

[balmy hedge]

nope

[balmy hedge]

how do i do this

[deep turret]

in a cmd or powershell

you replace your_pc_ipv4 with your pc ipv4

[balmy hedge]

yes i did

[deep turret]

and it works ?

[balmy hedge]

yes

[deep turret]

you may also use your ipv4 address in your browser like this
https://your_pc_ipv4:7777/ and see what it shows

[balmy hedge]

this site cant be reached

[deep turret]

I'm sorry but either you are wrongly reading ipconfig, or there is something really wrong with how your pc network is setup

you may show ipconfig here if you remove any ab-cd-ef-01-02 or ab12:cd34:ef56:.. looking informations

[dusty hazel]

do u have any vpn ? did u opened ur port correctly ? sorry i'm catching up there is a lot to read

[deep turret]

I cant be really sure they dont have drop rules in their firwalls but all other basics as been checked already

the server is running correctly

network is problematic

[dusty hazel]

i see but only works with local ip right ?

[deep turret]

loopback yes

[dusty hazel]

so ports aren't forwarded entirely somewhere

[deep turret]

but apparently even local network is not working

[dusty hazel]

local should works without ports opened

[deep turret]

it: s not forwarding, even on local machine it does not connect

[deep turret]

&

[dusty hazel]

ah

[balmy hedge]

pc came with default settings didnt do anythin

[dusty hazel]

that's ur local ip

[deep turret]

which does not work

[balmy hedge]

no vpn i believe i opened port correctly#

[deep turret]

that's the point

[dusty hazel]

mmh

[balmy hedge]

no worries thx for tryin to help tho

[deep turret]

definetly something going on in firewall settings

[dusty hazel]

u opened port on the router too ? i only saw about fw

[deep turret]

router is not involved, again it's on local machine there

[balmy hedge]

not yet i would be happy to even run it on local and play with my brother

[deep turret]

client and server on same pc, local address does not work

[balmy hedge]

yes

[deep turret]

what does it show when you right click that > properties

[deep turret]

check private and public profiles tab

it should show the same

[balmy hedge]

yes they are the same

[dusty hazel]

what if u try to deactivate the fw completly to know if it's fw issue ?

[deep turret]

they already tried

and deactivating firewall is not relible because of defender and antivirus stuff

some softwares dont even work firewall down

if you go there and read all the rules, do you see any red bare related to satisfactory ?

do not search, read it all

always read it all, do not use search features as it may hide some rules related to your problems

[balmy hedge]

yes

the 3 satisfacotry ports

we added earlier

are in that firewall

[deep turret]

nothing looking like this ?

[balmy hedge]

nope

[deep turret]

re read all inbound and outbound rules check for these things

[dusty hazel]

on ur brother's pc can u ping ur local ip ?

[deep turret]

the only thing preventing your computer from conecting to itself is firewall

[dusty hazel]

maybe add the factoryserver.exe to the autorized application on ur fw might help

[deep turret]

should not be needed if ports are opened

[dusty hazel]

fw can still block binaries from the server

[deep turret]

that's why I ask them manual read, for block rules

the default block rules block the binary

I still have 2 things to check, then I'll have no clue

[dusty hazel]

have he tried this ?
netstat -an | findstr 7777

[deep turret]

could be helpful, but firewall must be fully clear before that

[dusty hazel]

or telnet on his brother's pc ?

didn't read everything it's a 2h troubleshoot xD

[deep turret]

no need for telnet, simple browser check is enough

[balmy hedge]

thanks very much for your help guys

i think that ill take an L on this

spent too much time trynna fix

[deep turret]

there are still 2 things you can check, if you didnt find any red thing in firewall you could be very close to it

it will not be as long

so you didnt see any red thing in your firewall ?

[balmy hedge]

nope no red things

i closed everythin ive work now

so have to leave unfortunatelt

tysm tho

[deep turret]

ok then next time you will be able to retry, now that the firewall is fully clean

with -multihome=0.0.0.0

[deep turret]

and that

good luck

ngl, often better luck running the server on linux in the end

but not everyone can

and linux networking isnt perfect either

[burnt saffron]

just run in container and no need to do too many setups

[robust fossil]

i vhave just added BPs to my files and first i tought i saved them into wrong server since i got access to 2 of them but i joined both and didnt have bps ingame on any of them

[dusty hazel]

it saves localy here

[robust fossil]

no no i know that xd

they just dont show ingame for some reason

[dusty hazel]

did u passe them in the server files ?

[robust fossil]

ugh

i am stupid

i downloaded them to my singleplayer files lmao

not actually into servers files

lmao

[dusty hazel]

xD

[robust fossil]

happens lmao

[exotic thicket]

Can someone help me setup a dedicated server

[strange musk]

On what

Windows?

[exotic thicket]

Nevermind I figured it out but not sure how long it will last

Should my GPU be over 90% while running the dedicated server

[dusty hazel]

nope that's a lot

[dusty hazel]

change ur reliable port for one in the 50000 range

[mortal lagoon]

running a windows dedicated server on previous gaming machine, great cpu/gpu 16gb ram. thinking about converting from windows to a linux machine but is it worth it? the only thing i would like to do is host 2 instances under docker.

i just dont know if the 16gb ram will be enough. even under linux.

[restive locust]

Hello there, I have a dedicated home Linux server setup for me and my friend. We can connect just fine but are having consistent issues with desync.

Server is Mint22, Ryzen 7 5800X, 32GB ddr4, nvidia 3080. Wired connection. Running server as a systemd service, here is my unit file:

[Unit]
Description=Satisfactory Dedicated Server
Wants=network-online.target
After=syslog.target network.target nss-lookup.target network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/usr/games/steamcmd +force_install_dir "/opt/satisfactory" +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit
ExecStart=/opt/satisfactory/FactoryServer.sh -Port=32420 -ReliablePort=32421 -log -unattended
User=satisfactory
Group=satisfactory
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=60
KillSignal=SIGINT
WorkingDirectory=/opt/satisfactory
StandardOutput=append:/opt/satisfactory/server.log
StandardError=append:/opt/satisfactory/error.log

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Claimed server immediately after starting up, configured everything and made a new game. Have the network speed set to ultra on both the server and the clients.

Ports 32420 TCP/UDP and 32421 TCP are open inbound on my firewall rules for both ipv4 and ipv6. Router has same ports forwarded.

We can both join and play just fine. But while I have zero issues, he consistently desyncs with MAM updates, Hub updates, and foundations being placed. Rejoining fixes it.

I've read through on the possible issue with the reliable port on 8888, changed that and so far I have had no CPU spikes today, but the desync issues persist.

Is there something else I can try here, or is this a developer issue at this point?

[meager elk]

Linux is much lighter than windows, so 16gb of ram should be enough if both servers aren't running large saves with max players in each server.

[compact kettle]

I've heard of noboby fixing the desync issue, so sounds like some patches will be needed by the developer.. just my 2 cents..

[deft onyx]

Pretty sure you are referring to this ?

https://www.reddit.com/r/satisfactory/comments/1lj1zcp/11_significantly_more_unstable_with_multiplayer/
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/67d2447c6b7c5731963608f4

[rotund ermine]

Can I use a mod manager installed on Windows to manage another dedicated server running as a docker via FTP or SFTP?

Okay, never mind. Seems to be working i think

[deep turret]

that stuff would literally more complicated if run in a container

[real wyvern]

Any fixes to desync yet? It's been a while

[burnt saffron]

you can set up once the headache you are encountering and no need to do any more once its stable, so you can run multiple containers same time with just port changes. I am running containers have already 5 servers running constantly, no problems. On my personal server

[deft onyx]

I’ve lowered the autosave frequency

Makes the desync happen less from my experience

[grizzled condor]

Really? What did you set it to?

[deft onyx]

Might be a false positive/placebo

But I feel a difference

[silver thistle]

Hello - I've got a dedicated server that has been working just fine locally... I've just setup port forwarding (7777) for my IP/domain and can query/begin to connect fine... the connection eventually times out. I've researched the satisfactory wiki and believe the issue may be fixed by adding a couple lines to the engine.ini file under:

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
InitialConnectTimeout=120.0
ConnectionTimeout=120.0

However, whenever I edit the engine.ini file through my AMP/Cubecoders file manager area...whether the server is stopped or running, the engine.ini file changes won't persist through a restart. So I don't think I'm getting the chance to try an extended time out... I can connect to the server locally without issue... Thoughts anyone? Thanks!

[dusty hazel]

Hello seems u need to forward the new port 8888 TCP from récent update

[silver thistle]

Oh. Let's give that a whirl

[silver thistle]

Any thoughts on why edits to my engine.ini file won't persist? Am I doing something incorrectly from that procedure? (I'm opening 8888 port now and restarting things).

[silver thistle]

Instantly connected; thanks for that! opening 8888 along with 7777 worked perfectly.

Thanks again @dusty hazel

[dusty hazel]

i have no ideas how to make that works on AMP

happy for u it's workin have a good game

[tribal lantern]

any ghosting / cpu usage fix yet?

[bleak linden]

Could anyone help me with my dedicated server stuttering? I feel like I'm losing my mind. I ported the world over to the server and we're at the beginning of Phase 4.

Issue being whenever anyone plays including me, they experience extreme rubber-banding to the extent that the server is unplayable. I can build just fine and everything else as far as I can tell.

I've done some troubleshooting, and the only fix I can find is switching from my public ip addres to my local ip address. The server is port-forwarded and all of the required firewall rules are made too. I'm really lost on what I could try. Any help?

Whenever I move, the console spews this out too:

LogNetPackageMap: Warning: FNetGUIDCache::SupportsObject: LightweightCollisionComponent /Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Persistent_Level.Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.AbstractInstanceManager_2147481883.LightweightCollisionComponent_2147473227 NOT Supported.

[grizzled condor]

What specs does the server have?

[bleak linden]

It's hosted from a separate HP Elitedesk 705 G4 (16gb ram, 256gb ssd) that I use for hosting servers for me and friends.

AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE CPU

[grizzled condor]

OK way enough.

[dusty hazel]

what's the cpu usage ?

[bleak linden]

Seems to average around 20-30%, maybe 50% max

[dusty hazel]

right after reboot or with some time running ?

[bleak linden]

With time running, but I haven't left it running more than 30 minutes or so

I'm doing a quick fresh-install of the server and I'll check it again 👍

[dusty hazel]

if u play right after reboot can u play normaly for some time ?

[bleak linden]

nope

[dusty hazel]

if u put a fresh save u still get the same issue ?

[bleak linden]

I can try once the server is done re-installing from steamcmd

Well now for some reason, I can't connect to it using my public ip, despite the ports being open

[dusty hazel]

what does it say ?

[bleak linden]

sorry, that was just a little hiccup, got it fixed rq

Yeah, it seems the rubber-banding is still there after a fresh install and world

[dusty hazel]

even with a fresh world ?

[bleak linden]

unfortunately

[dusty hazel]

server plugged with ethernet ?

[bleak linden]

yep, haha its like a 1-inch cord with the pc next to it

meanwhile, I just reconnected via local ip and theres no rubber-banding

[dusty hazel]

yeah so network issue

[bleak linden]

I started this server because me and my friend couldn't play on each other's worlds anymore because we were both mutually rubber-banding just as bad

we made it to phase 4 with no issue, had a 3-month hiatus and came back to this rubber-banding issue

[dusty hazel]

can u ping the server and look for the result ?

or traceroute

[bleak linden]

Yeah, ill do that rq

I just don't know what I'm looking for in the results. Just look for the hostname of the server?

[dusty hazel]

the ms response

[bleak linden]

27ms
24ms avg

[dusty hazel]

u pinged ur pub ip ?

[bleak linden]

what should it be to?

[dusty hazel]

near to 0

cause it's on ur own network

[bleak linden]

Sorry, I'm probably doing it wrong. Where do I do this? Command prompt?

[dusty hazel]

can u do ping -n 100 let it run and tell me the packetloss

yeah cmd

we can get on a call if u need

[dusty hazel]

at the end what do u get here

mine is french but should look the same

[bleak linden]

whats the full command? i did ping (ip) -n 100

[dusty hazel]

ping -n 100 ip

it gonna send 100 pings to look for instabilities

[bleak linden]

Its going rn

[dusty hazel]

but from what i see u have a lot of spikes from this screen

means ur internet connection isn't stable

[bleak linden]

unfortunate

[dusty hazel]

53ms average is damn high for a server in ur own network :/

[bleak linden]

😭

i never notice it because i dont lag on online games like ever

[dusty hazel]

maybe try with wifi maybe ur ethernet cable is shit

[bleak linden]

could be

[dusty hazel]

try again and post the result

running on a pc or vm ?

[bleak linden]

pc

not much change w/o ethernet

[dusty hazel]

damn

[bleak linden]

i just gotta find out wth is causing the hiccups

[dusty hazel]

yeah

gimme the adress in private i try to ping it from my network

[rotund ermine]

Is there any way I can migrate a save created under port 7777 to a new server running under port 7778? (Moving Windows to Docker)

When I attempt to add the server in the client, I receive a message indicating that the server is offline. However, monitoring with tcpdump and port 7778 shows that this is correctly forwarded to the correct system.

This is what it says in the port overview in Docker
"7777/tcp, 0.0.0.0:7778->7778/tcp, :::7778->7778/tcp, 8888/tcp, 7777/udp, 0.0.0.0:55901->55901/tcp, 0.0.0.0:7778->7778/udp, :::55901->55901/tcp, :::7778->7778/udp"

[dusty hazel]

yeah u can just give them differents ip

ifu need to move save u can do so ingame

[spice rune]

Does anyone know how to set up a server because i'm struggling since my internet provider doesn't allow port forwarding?

[dusty hazel]

u can use Tailscale for example if u can't forward ports it's free

[spice rune]

Ill give it a shot.

[spice rune]

Soo i get the IP part but were do i add a port?

[dusty hazel]

base ports u and ur friends setup the tailscale network then connect with the tailscale ip no need to port forward

base port would be 7777 to connect ingame

tailscale works as if u'r in the same network so port forwarding isn't mandatory

[spice rune]

My IP from my PC works, but the one from tailscale just says its offline in satisfactory.

[dusty hazel]

u setup everything correctly downloading the app etc ?

[spice rune]

Fairly sure I have everything set up correctly.

[dusty hazel]

if u do curl -4 ifconfig.me in cmd u still get ur normal pub ip ?

[spice rune]

fuuuuu i do.

[dusty hazel]

then something isn't setup correctly

look bottom right u should see the tailscale app does it says online something like this ?

[hidden forge]

shouldn't tailscale, depending on the setup, only route necessary traffic?

[spice rune]

says connected

[wicked lark]

I have a weird experience with a server - curious if anyone else get this (specially on single player games) - when i come into a crash site that's been 'looted - deconstructed' - from a distance I can see it; then it just suddenly pops out of existence as I get closer. Do people see that single player?

[compact kettle]

how the frick did you get .052ms ???

what trickery are you doing to your router? or that is cat10EEEE cable or ?

[compact kettle]

You have a terrible isp who gives you terrible router equipment right? 🤣 because I know those numbers.. and I know them well..🤣

[dusty hazel]

local ping should be that fast right ?

i got a cat6 or 7

i have a vm on a datacenter 20km from my place got 20ms on it tho

[compact kettle]

nope haven't seen that yet.. but could be your video card getting hot? or issues with drivers? etc..

[compact kettle]

you still shouldn't have that good of a measurement! haha

thats mine on a terrible router and ISP.. (wifi)

even when I plug in ethernet cable cat5e it will never go under 1-2ms

[dusty hazel]

xDDD

[bleak linden]

... you also got optimum? haha

[dusty hazel]

still no issue since reboot and port changed ?

[bleak linden]

It went back to stuttering shortly after

Seems like reconnecting fixes it for 2-3 minutes

[compact kettle]

close enough!

[compact kettle]

Just die /s.. 🤣

https://tenor.com/view/basil-fawlty-fawlty-towers-bastard-gif-16333239

Oh I forgot can't do gifs here.. lame...

[compact kettle]

watch this...

1. you have a copper coaxial cable connecting to your router right??

2. you have copper wires in some apartment building your in right?

[bleak linden]

Not sure if its copper

[compact kettle]

3. you have a new router from a terrible ISP?

[dusty hazel]

even with wifi he get those spikes

[compact kettle]

if you said yes to any of these.. you aren't going to fix your problem

until....

Optimum comes out and completely changes the cable to your house/apt..

you can go talk to them and show them the pictures of your terrible spikes with the cable ethernet plugged in..

[bleak linden]

Its annoying bc this is the first lag issue I've had when hosting servers 😭

[compact kettle]

you also probably have a bad interference in the wifi channels as well i bet ..

[bleak linden]

they most likely wouldnt care enough either way

[compact kettle]

but since you even get problems with the ethernet plugged in.. it sounds like it's the source..

the copper cable that needs to be replaced or fixed.. could be water around the area.. could be rust on the adapters..

those kind of things..

I had a box one time where everytime it rained the water would build up at the bottom and ofcourse my cable was at the bottom.. and guess what happened everytime it rained...

company finally after 6x or something calling them with problems did a 'dedicated line' to my house... to fix the internet...

literally from the phone pole to the house they added a line supplying internet to my house..

[dusty hazel]

i guess ur paying a lot tho

[compact kettle]

at that time i probably had the bundle thing with tv/internet/phone.. so that's probably why they did it sure.. if that is what you mean..

Now I have 1Gig Fiber.. so.. none of that matters now..

[dusty hazel]

only 1gig 😢

[compact kettle]

Hey I'll upgrade to 2.5Gig later..

I have absolutely no need for it at all..

[dusty hazel]

u have no need for it until u have it

[compact kettle]

No Game/server/watching movies/typing emails needs more than 1Gig right now..

even downloading 90GB+ games on steam takes 15-30 min if not less..

[compact kettle]

well I can't deny that..

[dusty hazel]

upload is a bit low compare to download but that's do it

[compact kettle]

can you use google fiber test? just curious if it says different..

https://fiber.google.com/speedtest/

[oak plover]

Hey guys, i guess a found a bug in July 2025 patch that doesnt let me join a dedicated server.. do someone have the same problem ?

[dusty hazel]

what is the bug ?

[oak plover]

this one

[compact kettle]

ok yep.. impressive

[dusty hazel]

for only 50€ a month so 57$

[dusty hazel]

with tv and phone*

[compact kettle]

Well I.., but You are in France right?

[oak plover]

i've been creating a lot of Satisfactory dedicated servers and i know exactly what im doing, but specifically at this time something goes wrong, and i even dont have any idea what exactly
I've tried almost everything, including deleting serversettings file, recreating .sav files and manually deleting all data from the client (Facttorygame folder at localappdata)
Do you have an idea what's wrong ?

[dusty hazel]

yeah

[dusty hazel]

even fresh map doesn't work ?

[oak plover]

yep, that's exactly what i said in my previous message

i've tried a few times

[dusty hazel]

never had any mod ?

[oak plover]

nope

just vanilla game

[dusty hazel]

what argument do u use to launch it ?

[oak plover]

as i said, i've checked and tried almost everything

[oak plover]

no arguments, just ./Factorygame.sh

[dusty hazel]

yeah just running the basics troubleshoot to stepup dw

[oak plover]

Actually in the console i could see that the server accept the connections and everything is ok untill the client try to load the server game, it just start an endless loop loading

[dusty hazel]

did u opened port 8888 TCP ?

[oak plover]

That's all what i see

[oak plover]

TCP ?

[dusty hazel]

on ur router open 8888 TCP rule

from 1.1 u need 2 ports 7777 TCP/UDP and 8888 TCP

[oak plover]

it never asked for 8888 on tcp, i've opened the 8888 on UDP and 7777 on TCP/UDP

[dusty hazel]

8888 should be TCP not UDP

[oak plover]

wait a sec

[oak plover]

but if it would be the problem, the server wouldnt show me an accepted connection, right ?

[dusty hazel]

u can try to load and even hear sounds move around but not play

[oak plover]

oh wait, actually i've opened the 8888 on TCP/UDP

[dusty hazel]

close UDP not needed

can cause conflict too

[oak plover]

ok, let me try.. gimme a few secs

[dusty hazel]

ofc

[oak plover]

But have you seen the ERROR line in the game logs ?

i mean this one
ERROR:: No area found please investigate (Proximity subsystem)

[dusty hazel]

can be with this reliable port ur not able to load so u get this error

i haven't digged that much reliable port errors

i know that infinite loading screen is caused by this port

[oak plover]

i did everything the same as all previous times while launching Satisfactory dedicated server, and used the same ports, idk, feels kinda weird

Well, it occures that the 8888 port is not the problem

cus i still have the endless loading screen and the same error in the server console

[dusty hazel]

check if the port is well opened with port scanner like dnschecker.org/port-scanner.php

[oak plover]

Am i wrong, or the 8888 port was used in the past for the web-panel ?

cus as i know it's not used for players connect

[dusty hazel]

was 15000 and 15777 before

server runs on ur network ?

if yes try to connect with local ip

to know for sure if the port is the issue

[oak plover]

alredy done

it doesnt help

[dusty hazel]

u can't connec t too ?

[oak plover]

yep

[dusty hazel]

./FactoryServer.sh -log -Map=Persistent_Level try this to start the server

[oak plover]

wait a sec, it seems that server is listening only on port 7777..

[dusty hazel]

make differents port rules if u router allow to open multiple ports on the same rule

[oak plover]

actually it doesnt

i really dont understand..

[dusty hazel]

sudo netstat -tulnp | grep 8888 if u do this ?

[wicked lark]

3 different video cards - all of them see it when I load the server file into single player. It's like the game goes 'oh crap, that's hidden' and then h ides it.... I've moved to single player only now (new game) cuz I was figuring it's a bug with dedicated servers to be honest (I used to have an issue in 1.0 where rocks wouldn't disappear from the game when playing on server; but if you play single player - they were gone... - that got fixed in 1.1

[oak plover]

wht not sudo ss -ulnp | grep 8888 ?

[dusty hazel]

same

[oak plover]

well

on netstat it seems like the server is listening

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8888 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 39009/FactoryServer

but ss -ulnp..

[dusty hazel]

sudo ss -tulnp | grep 8888

u miss the t for tcp

[oak plover]

oh

well

it's listening

but the problem still exists

[dusty hazel]

but with the port scanner u get timed out ?

[oak plover]

nope

its open

may the problem be the 15777 and the 15000 ports ?

[dusty hazel]

do this
ps aux | grep FactoryServer

[oak plover]

well

what do you want to see there ?

[dusty hazel]

only 1 line

[oak plover]

oleg 39009 24.6 24.1 6903976 3924524 pts/2 Sl+ 22:02 3:41 /home/oleg/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/Engine/Binaries/Linux/FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame -log -BeaconPort=15000 -GamePort=7777 -QueryPort=15777

oleg 44501 0.0 0.0 6432 656 pts/0 S+ 22:17 0:00 grep --color=auto FactoryServer

oh my bad

[dusty hazel]

so only one server running

no vpn ?

[oak plover]

nope

any possible problem that u can think off already have been checked at least twice

[dusty hazel]

./FactoryServer -log -unattended -multihome=0.0.0.0 -Port=7777 -ReliablePort=8888

if u try with this ?

[oak plover]

let me try this one

[dusty hazel]

if that doesn't works try to change the reliable port so open a new port like 45800 and change the startup like this
./FactoryServer -log -Port=7777 -ReliablePort=45800

[oak plover]

DUDE

u r a freaking hoodini

[dusty hazel]

😄

[oak plover]

now it worked

i should make a .ini file with this setting..

[dusty hazel]

make a bash file to start with this

[oak plover]

I don't even know how to thank you

[dusty hazel]

no need ^^

[oak plover]

I'm incredibly grateful to you — thank you so much for your help!

[dusty hazel]

have a good game bro !

[oak plover]

Thank you!

[compact kettle]

Hmm.. shoot, I would then next say to screen record it when it happens so you have documented it as well. ( I suppose send to dev or Post it on some forums like Reddit/Discord/other big game forums) and see if anyone has seen/knows that common occurance and can relay any information at all..

Expierienced aye...

ha

anyway @dusty hazel

yours' should be really fun

ht tps://aws-latency-test.com/
@dusty hazel have fun !

[restive locust]

@compact kettle thanks for confirming, so far it seems like the only thing that might help is lowering the autosave frequency like @deft onyx suggested, and yeah @deft onyx that's what I was referring to. Ghosting foundations, and unlocks not triggering for my friend until they logout and back in again. It never happens for me though, only for them which is really strange.

[carmine oyster]

My question is do I need to buy the game twice to so a dedicated server

[dusty hazel]

no

u can even setup a server without owning the game

[kind herald]

Hi everyone! My stepdad setup a dedicated home server through Linux. I play on Steam. Trying to understand how to add friends to a world created under it.
When I got to "manage session" , "session ID" displays as "Session ID...". If I attempt to change the "session name" the game crashes.

• Is the session name the same as the game save file that is launched?
• Do I add friends by providing the IP and Port directly or if it's supposed to be a special session ID?

[grim mica]

Dedicated exclusively uses server manager tab, session doesn't matter or work. Must use IP or resolvable host/fqdn

[kind herald]

Thank you!

[unkempt verge]

LogNet: Warning: UNetConnection::ReceivedPacket - Too many received packets to ack (256) since last sent packet.
Started getting this when I connect to my dedicated server ... never had the issue before.
It runs on a server on the same LAN as my computer.

Any ideas?

[dusty hazel]

some packetloss

[unkempt verge]

I understand that… any ideas why it wound happening all of the sudden?

[deft onyx]

Well if you tried everything already and know what you are doing we won't be much of an help 😂

[unkempt verge]

seeing this a lot ... not sure why all of the sudden i have packet loss

[compact kettle]

Although I dont really like these particular tests since they are location server based and at the mercy of anything in between including things like how the browser handles and more, but give a shot to packetloss tests like :

ht tps://packetlosstest.com/

Maybe set your settings to that.. (the 1200 for packet size)

Although I don't know how satisfactory has it's frequency..

But either way it should look something like :

You want lower jitter and the latency should be stable across the chart (see my dotted yellow line)

@dusty hazel I dont even want to see yours because you'll probably have negative jitter and some inverted reverse latency.. 🤣

[unkempt verge]

My dedicated server is upstairs ... on the same LAN as my gaming computer.

[compact kettle]

If you rule out anything connection-wise, then you have to go down the software setting tinkering route.. and I'm sure you know that isn't fun either. 🤣

I mean it would be nice if someone from the actual team from satisfactory could just look at your logs and explain, as we are all at the mercy of whatever they coded and displayed in their logs

[unkempt verge]

lol true

What 's crazy is that i have played thru like 5-6 times with no issues ... same mods.

[dusty hazel]

try to ping ur own public ip from ur own network to look for spikes do ping -n 50 urpubip

[unkempt verge]

I connect to the server using the local IP address

is this typical?

[dusty hazel]

yeah that's normal

does the warning makes the game unplayable ?

[dusty hazel]

what if u do this ? ping -n 50 192.168.1.1 with this ip ?

[unkempt verge]

192.168.1.1 is not my default gateway
192.168.40.1 is my default gateway

[dusty hazel]

then do on ur default gateway xD

[tribal lantern]

anybody got that restart script for linux?

[dusty hazel]

make the server as a service

[deft onyx]

Create a systemd service

Or whatever distro you use

[compact kettle]

Do you have a 2nd pc or friend or anything to see if they have the same issue on your wifi/lan possibly?? I mean without the dev team telling you what that error means, all you can do is try out the most ridiculous things now, like seeing if others have that same error on your network running a dedicated server and etc

[unkempt verge]

i'm a retard ... should have tried this
yes ... will try that later today
i am on a wired connection ... so not a WiFi issue

[vapid lichen]

hello, is there a fix for not sycing Foundations as en example?

[polar bramble]

what amount of ram is recommended for a two player dedicated server?

[inner scroll]

Everyday....theres at least one asking this

Desync has no current fix

[inner scroll]

So, the number of players isnt really the issue...its how big/indepth your world/build will be

You can have 16gigs of ram and 50 players and possibly build something. If you have 32gb of ram, you and your friend should have no problem

[polar bramble]

32 is a lot damn x.x

[inner scroll]

Just exit to menu and rejoin every 5 mins just like everyone else on a DS

[inner scroll]

Not really....i have 128

[polar bramble]

yeah but im buying hosting on nodecraft

[inner scroll]

Oh...i see what you mean....host it on your own system

[polar bramble]

well I want to have the server online all the time, since me and my friend are in different time zones. I dont wanna have my PC on 24/7 running a server

[inner scroll]

Kinda of what a desktop system is for brobro...

[polar bramble]

yes but I do other things on my computer xD I dont want a server running and using up all my RAM for weeks when I do play other games and use AI tools locally

[inner scroll]

Bruh, if you have ram problems like that, you aint runnin no local AI

But whatever, to each their own.

[polar bramble]

what? I have ram problems on nodecraft, not my PC?

[deep turret]

aim for 16 basically, now 16 get you a long way

32 if for like no pratical limit

[unkempt verge]

I have the same issue on my PvP ARK cluster.

[wet cedar]

Hi, I just spun up a dedicated server for the first time and everything was working fine just locally through localhost. I portforwarded my ports and Im able to see the server and manage it, however, when joining through my public IP, I ended up timing out (i do see requests coming in though to the server so the ports seem fine). Joining through localhost works fine.

I see that the suggestion is to edit the config file manually to increase the connection timeout, but that seems a bit annoying?

[wicked knot]

Most routers wont accept their own address for a connection. not sure why, but its a thing

[wet cedar]

I see, so this issue shouldnt happen to others who join then? I would just have to use my local address, but others should be fine?

[wicked knot]

same machine uses %localhost%, same network uses local IP, outside world uses public IP

[wet cedar]

no luck, i tried connecting with my steam deck outside of my network (different public IP) and still having the same timeout issue

[wicked knot]

wifi can be way out in the weeds for boomerang connects. Pretty HW dependent

[wet cedar]

hmm im starting to think its a configuration issue. even with increasing the timeouts, its just not connecting. i have ports 7777 15000 and 15777 port forwarded for tcp and udp

checked firewall and its not blocking those ports

[compact kettle]

Coming to the party late, but did you open 8888 tcp port? Or did you manually already change the reliable ports to 15777 etc

[wet cedar]

I'm running stock config. I have not portforwaded 8888

[mild thunder]

if its those three ports listed, probably following old out of date documentation

[wicked knot]

15000 and 15777 is old data, not used since UE4

thanks, chatGPT

[wet cedar]

oh youre right, this wiki says outdated...

[wicked knot]

!wikisearch dedicated_server

[rancid ether]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=dedicated_server

[wicked knot]

thats the current one

[wet cedar]

thanks i will look over it and verify my ports

ok yeah working perfeclty now with 8888 port

[wise badge]

For the server to be up 24/7 I'm assuming you have to run your pc 24/7?

[mild thunder]

what ever computer is running the server software, that PC would have to be on 24/7

[wise badge]

Yeah, fair enough

I have a very very old laptop, not sure if that would be able to host something like this lol, might have to look into it

electricity is expensive enough as is

[wet cedar]

well, getting a server to host it would probably be 20-30$ a month

[wise badge]

Does anyone have experience running a server from linux mint, or would ubuntu be the better option?

[wet cedar]

looking at my server rn with just one person its not using that many resources

im running it on linux now, not ubuntu, but the commands on the wiki will work for any distro pretty well.

[wise badge]

Yeah that would be similar, just curious, since some distros require maybe extra dependencies

I'll read through the wiki and see what's up
