[frigid crown]

2nd server the game loads and can hear it in the background, and switch tools, but the loading screen never goes away

stop the 1st server and 2nd server works

"-log -unattended -ReliablePort 8889" ?

[hidden forge]

You mentioned "[]", does that mean you try to use IPv6?

[polar lagoon]

He had issues with ports

[stone dew]

Hey. So I just read some things about a problem where the Console is full with Errors and the CPU Usage goes up to 100% at some point but I didn't see a clear solution anywhere yet. Does anyone how to fix that?

[short scroll]

I have a small problem.

I’ve set up a private server on a Linux machine.

The issue is that missions and constructions are not syncing properly between players.

I’ve already tried asking ChatGPT and friends who have set up their own servers, and none of us have any idea what’s going on.

Could you provide some guidance and help me?

[drifting hatch]

Anything in the logs?

Is the server strong enough, have you checked CPU util (htop, glances, etc)

[short scroll]

Yes, the server is powerful.

CPU
Intel Core i7-7700K – 4c/8t – 4.2 GHz/4.5 GHz

RAM
64 GB 2133 MHz

Data Drives
2×450 GB SSD NVMe

Bandwidth
300 Mbit/s outbound
300 Mbit/s inbound

And in the logs, there are some errors, but nothing that would affect its latency.

[drifting hatch]

Some have been reporting if it's on a publically exposed 8888 it can result in botscans that cause the CPU util to peg at 100%

[deep turret]

the cpu may be a bottleneck

[deep turret]

you can also check that you all use network ultra profiles

including the server config

[polar lagoon]

Best practise would be that you open the ports for certain addresses, if you have couple friends who wants to play in your server

[stone dew]

When I block 8888 no one is able to connect anymore :/

[drifting hatch]

You'd have to change the port the server runs on

Which OS?

Add like "-ReliablePort 26888" to the command, or edit the config I guess

Then connect using that port

[dusty hazel]

U need -ReliablePort=26888 u missed the = sign

[drifting hatch]

Sure, I use Linux, this is not something I have had a problem with, but yea, if the = is needed then I do apologise xD

[stone dew]

Windows 10 but I think about switching to my Dedicated Server running Ubuntu if I somehow figure out how to set up the Server there xD

[drifting hatch]

I use a good docker repo - wolveix/satisfactory-server

:latest track

[stone dew]

I tried using Docker once and I didn't understand a single thing so I guess that would drive me insane

[polar lagoon]

Most common first thought about Docker in the universe

[restive geyser]

Ardanos, I'm having the same issue as Skyline, 7777, 8888, 15000, and 15777 are all open, but still no luck. Looking at the logs I only see attempts being made on 7777. Seems to be a comon issue everyone is having that I see. Is there something missing in the config file?

[polar lagoon]

did you fix it? i saw you dm'ed me EDIT: fixed!

[restive geyser]

With your help clarifying traffic flow, yes!

[frigid crown]

Do i need the = before the port?

"-log -unattended -ReliablePort=8889" ?

[dusty hazel]

Sorry was busy glad u could make it works thanks @polar lagoon !

[dusty hazel]

Yes

[frigid crown]

That worked. Thank you

[stoic stream]

anyone having a weird, issue, or maybe my save is corrupted, when I laod the deidcated server, go into the server, the UI never goes away, the "progress" bar. I can move the character around etc, but the loading bar is just stuck.

I can hear the character moving etc

[mild thunder]

infinite loading bar, usually means that the new port added in 1.1 that defaults to 8888 is not reachable

[stoic stream]

even locally?

hmm maybe I am using my public from inside, like i usually do. Let me see

i forgot to forward that port, standby

It was the port, woops. Thanks man.,

@mild thunder

[mild thunder]

glad it is working

[drifting hatch]

Internally it shouldn't be a problem using 7777/8888

[stoic stream]

I had my public in there, i do that to test

Ironically lol

[drifting hatch]

If you have exposed it externally, sure, best to use a higher level port

[dusk flume]

so im setting up a server on linux through cmd and im stuck. i can't get it to install the server files

[polar lagoon]

Atleast with steamcmd:

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

[drifting hatch]

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

Dockerize it, works very well, from my experience

You need to learn Docker tho xD

[eager aspen]

the 7700k isn't all that good

[dusk flume]

thats the part that doesn't work. it says steamcmd command not found, and if you remove that it does absolutely nothing

sorry it ook so long to respond, i sent that at like 4am and crash soon after from lack o sleep

[trail ember]

damn servers

[dusk flume]

i installed cmd and it works but the process to inhstall the server doesn't. im getting ready to reinstall a diferent version of linux so that its easier becuase i was ussing pop, so imma switch to uduntu

[zenith plinth]

the game has become nearly unplayable over the past day and i keep crashing for no reason when playing in my friends world
ive restarted, verified files, and reinstalled the game but it just keeps crashing

yesterday 1:03

yesterday 1:55

yesterday 5:09

today 1:33

today 1:43

and finally today 2:50

can someone help me figure out how to play the game again

[polar lagoon]

Do you have right dependencies

[dusk flume]

ithouth i did. like i said im switching to ubunto for a more documented proces so i know im doing it right

im hopeing i just messed up a step and doing it on ubuntu where the exact steps are specified i am more likely to do it right

[dusk flume]

so i just hit a wall, i am installing cmd on ubuntu and the first art where it has an ubuntu specific command it just kees saying steam is not in the sudoers file.

and asking for steam users pasword

[hidden forge]

sudo usermod -a -G sudo steam
and
sudo passwd steam

[dusk flume]

see those are diferent then what the wiki said gimmme a sec to try them

ty that worked

[dusk flume]

so im at the server setup part of the wiki and can't figure it out. im following the steps but it just says (insert giberish her) extremly not found

[wicked knot]

the wiki outlines 3 install methods. Be sure to track the method that applies to you

And check if it's fandom wiki, or gg wiki. Fandom is bad out of date

[dusk flume]

i am following the linux method for ubuntu

.gg

[wicked knot]

its just a generic linux install, not distro specific

[dusk flume]

for this step yeah but there were a few parts with ubuntu specific steps

[wicked knot]

linux vai steamcmd, windows via steamcmd, windows via GUI

[dusk flume]

either way its not working

[wicked knot]

eh, it's open to public edits

[dusk flume]

1 sec ill send a pic

i have absolutly no idea what im doing im just following what things say becuase i don't know basicly anything linux. but i need to do it on linux becuase win was takin to much ram

[hidden forge]

you are still inside steamcmd, quit it first

and you are probably skipping steps inbetween, do not just blindly copy&paste the code blocks

[dusk flume]

i don't know what else to do. like, i read the text that says whats next but it just says to put those commands in and well like i said i have 0 knowlege with linux

i used to be alright at it but i have since essentially forgoten everything

[polar lagoon]

Exit the steamcmd, cd into dir where you installed server files and then ./FactoryServer.sh

You are basically using steamcmd to fetch the server files and for future updates.

[misty smelt]

so i was using playit.gg fine for the server until 1.1, and now it doesnt load. i read that it now needs another port on 8888 to function, and i was wondering if anyone knows how to do that on playit or if theres a different provider i could try using

[dusk flume]

/\ would also like to know the answer for when i finally get to that part of setup

[dusk flume]

well something happened this time ty. im booting up the game to test if it started if it did you just saved me a few hours at least maybe even days

that did it ty

[misty smelt]

is the server able to load?

bc mine is stuck on loading

[dusk flume]

yup, though im joining via local ip not ort forwarding

[misty smelt]

oh ok

[dusk flume]

i will need to set that up so if i figure it out ill let you know

[misty smelt]

alr

[dusk flume]

new problem, no idea how to get the file transfer creds for modding it

and google just tells me the steps for if it was hosted by a companie, not for a home server

[wicked knot]

same way you would move any other file around on your home network

You ARE the network administrator

[dusk flume]

i can't get the path thing to work on smm

it either does spinny wheel of doom or gives verying errors

[last condor]

Don't suppose anyone knows how we can set a custom 8888 port?

I'm trying to run two dedicated servers at home. I used the port=XXXX launch parameter to set the custom port for 7777, but there's now a clash for 8888.

I see this was asked here. Was there ever a solution? 💙

Ignore all of the above. I scrolled and saw that the use of -reliableport=XXXX is also needed. Couldn't see this on the wiki. Ya'll are great!

[tawny mantle]

Hi guys, I currently rent a dedicated server with Nitrado - For some reason, my Blueprints do not show in game after saving, despite the .sbp folders being created in the server files. Anyone have any idea on a fix for this? Thanks

[whole meadow]

Hello, Not sure if you have found a work around already But it seems like you are crashing on a bugged belt and I am assuming you are playing as a client? Is it possible for you to share the save file?

[hidden forge]

• If you have SSH access, use SCP
• access a smb share and pull the files
• set up a FTP or smb/samba share and push the files

[polar lagoon]

Scp would be the easiest way. Setting up ftp access could be a nightmare for beginners imo.

[drifting hatch]

Don't use 7777/8888 ? xD

27963 <-- this one, use this xD

Learn from John Carmack xD

[gray prism]

Hey guys, yesterday I was playing with my server normally, setted on my "C:\Server\satisfactory" And I played normally, now I wake up, run my server and game, and suddenly, this shi isn't showing as online on the game, anyone know a solution?

[gray prism]

and I tried to change the port, thinking maybe it was the right port now, but it didn't work, I'm confused

[granite ferry]

Two of my players have timed out and when they rejoined, they spawned as new characters and their inventories were empty... I tried using SCIM on the save files to edit their inventories, but their "ghosts" don't even show up on the map

yet they see the ghosts on the server when they log in

still sitting there, drinking coffee

I'm hoping that object still has their inventories

(this is a dedicated server I host locally from my own home server blade, 1.1)

really frustrating because one of my players had found 6 harddrives

so that will be stuff outright lost

or is there a save editor that lets me search objects so I can find them again, to move their inventories over?

sorry, in panic mode a bit right now

server was running amazingly

then my internet crapped out for a couple hours (Thanks, COX.... I'm on gigabit, but sometimes cox just sucks)

please ping or DM me if anyone has an answer, because I can't just sit on this window/channel hoping for an answer.

[dusk flume]

non of that makes any sense and some of it doesn't even sound like english.

[wicked knot]

have them check their settings, that they dont keep inventory on death, and then beat the lazy bums drinking coffee into submission.

[granite ferry]

I thought pvp didn't exist?

or is it just to your own player or something?

(or just to ghosts?)

[wicked knot]

There are no pvp goals, but yeah, you can kill each other

[granite ferry]

I ask this, because one of my players decided to try this and got their shit back while I was at lunch (the posted a reddit post about it, and I said "go ahead and try it")

and apparently it worked, I'm just confused... I thought pvp didn't exist, I don't mind it (and always run my very friendly minecraft servers with pvp on because it's fun to fix things, and fun for silliiness (when it doesn't get too silly)

((aka, we fixed it while I was at lunch, but nice that that's an option))

[wicked knot]

there are no pvp aspects or goals in the game, but you can damage each other, blow each other up with nobelisks, etc

[granite ferry]

I've hosted more servers than I have played, I guess I just forgot you could damage other players

or maybe there was a time between when you couldn't, I know there was an early time when you could and that was disabled for a bit or something

[wicked knot]

always been a thing, and early versions EOS failures made it a necessary evil for a long time. Log in as offline, get a new body.
You wont be looting ears or anything like that, tho

[granite ferry]

(I'm an oldie... original kickstarter guy when we got the epic-only version, before it showed up on epic store)

[granite ferry]

that'd need a mod

xD

(played and hosted too many games... remember a few MUDs where that was a thing)

[wicked knot]

the ears thing was a ref form OG Diablo

[granite ferry]

I didn't play og diablo much online, just in coop over lan, don't remember the ears

that's hilarious if that was a thing

[wicked knot]

yeah, pvp kills gave ears as loot lol

and that was how you advanced in pvp "guilds"

[ornate kite]

how to upload megaprints (.cbp blueprints) to satisfactory dedicated servers

?

[wicked knot]

From SCIM?

[ornate kite]

What is SCIM?

[wicked knot]

where did you source the "megaprint"?

[wicked knot]

That is SCIM, you want the IM part

Upload your save, apply the "print", download the edited save

[ornate kite]

Okay, but i can upload to the server and use the blueprint tab or`?

[ornate kite]

I want to place my blueprint anywhere not over a map

I need precision

[wicked knot]

SCIM has a discord, someone there may be able to help on that. Link is above the upload box

[granite ferry]

to upload to a server, you have to know the server owner and send them the file

and then they can import it to the blueprints section of the saves folder on the server's side

@ornate kite

iirc there's no other way, unless the server admin has a system setup where you can ftp or ssh the file to the right folder... but that's a security/fairness issue, just in general

since blueprints are saved in the server-side files

(to keep people from having blueprints they wouldn't have the tech for)

[tacit pewter]

Hey guys, I used the dedicated server tool to create a new server, uploaded my game file, port forwarded 7777, 8888, 15000, and 15777 for both UDP and TCP. I created the server my my private IP address as well. My friend cant seem to join no matter what we do. This is the error he's recieving-

[wicked knot]

Are they in the same local network as you?

[hidden forge]

192.168.X.X is not a valid public IP, you need to tell your friend the external IP of your router

[tacit pewter]

they aren't- we're attempting to connect over the internet

[tacit pewter]

i looked up my public IP by using whatismyip and gave that to him, but he was unable to connect using it

[wicked knot]

Yeah, what Xeet said. That address is only good on your side of your router

[tacit pewter]

ahh- how should i go about fixing this?

[wicked knot]

you may be on an ISP subnet. Is the IP shown in the router interface the same as your public IP?

[tacit pewter]

Just checked- they match.

do I need to create the server using something other than my private IP?

[full karma]

So I opened my dedicated server up, added it on server manager, then tried to join. I was stuck at a loading screen saying something about respawn sequence and had to alt-f4 out. After that the game just refuses to connect to epic servers at all and keeps throwing connection errors. Anyone have anything like this happen?

Ive tried to verify my files to fix my main client which didnt help so im just reinstalling it now in hopes that will let me at least connect to epic servers again

[wicked knot]

It can use both at the same time. The router gave it the local IP, and routes traffic to it from the public IP. Did yo uset up rules for the ports in the router?

[hidden forge]

Something is blocking the secondary port 8888/tcp

[full karma]

Thank you I will check this

[flint mason]

Hi, so I am currently having a login issue when trying to play on my friend's dedicated server. I think it is not server side though, I believe my client is having issues.
I am getting the message: Unknown Login Error with this being the advanced details. I checked epic online services and it seems to be running, can I get some help with this?
unknown (unknown (EOS_UnexpectedError))

For context, I am also running the game using SMM, so that may be the issue

[wicked knot]

EOS has kinda frequent regional outages

[flint mason]

That may be it, I guess I can try later

[wicked knot]

did ya verify the game files?

[flint mason]

Yeah lol, tried that first

[drifting hatch]

EOS? xD

[steep bloom]

any word on a patch to fix the dedicated server desync issues?

[charred wave]

My container CPU usage seems to always reach 100% across all cores over a few hours

seems to be a bug with satisfactory

[solar jewel]

Is anybody running a server using oracle?

[edgy pasture]

I haven’t posted this in a while… I guess it’s time to do it again.

#dedicated-servers message

[stone dew]

Does anyone have a good tutorial for creating a Satisfactory Server with Ubuntu? I just tried 2 but it is still telling me that the server seems to be offline and I have no clue why

[hidden forge]

Which ones did you follow?
Try the wiki.gg in the pins
Also skip any kind of router port forwarding for inital setup and try connecting via internal IP

[stone dew]

uhm well it is a dedicated Server running Ubuntu xD

[compact kettle]

They just wont add another little message will they... 🤣

You know just a little "open ports 8888 now or etc..."

[edgy pasture]

I considered making satirical fan art showing the loading screen, smoking CPU’s and building desyncs… but haven’t wanted to commit the time…

[compact kettle]

I would print it out and even put it on my wall if you did that

[edgy pasture]

lol. I’m really surprised that actually effectively broken internet multiplayer without having to do crazy workarounds is not getting more attention.

It’s apparently been a problem since they split the network traffic in experimental when 1.1 first started testing

[compact kettle]

They deserve a couple of coupons 🤣

[near forge]

when trying to use the world they get stuck in the loading screen any1 know a fix?

[near forge]

the weird part is the can move their mouse and turn but not see

[hidden forge]

Something is blocking the secondary port, 8888/TCP by default

[humble laurel]

Hey Everyone ,
after 2 hours of trying everything im almost giving up:
so me and a Friend want to play But hes on steam only and i play on epic but we where unable to connect tried all Ports /Forwarding even session id didnt work .
hes is hardcore against using epic wich i understand if the only way to play it is to use epic somewhere in the process i honestly am out too because i dont wanna support such bullshit

[crimson hawk]

is there a fix for the Server always desyncing for clients when completing milestones

[edgy pasture]

#dedicated-servers message

There are workarounds… simple one is to try changing the reliable port to something high and random like 50000 or something.

If that doesn’t fix it, VPN tunnels or whitelisting client IPs in a fancy firewall… or waiting for a real fix from the devs.

[hidden forge]

Interesting rant but no real question we can answer

[edgy pasture]

At least it’s just almost giving up, and not giving up. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[humble laurel]

Sorry i should make my question more clear is there a way we can play or any suggestions what we can try ? as we have tryed everything from all default ports/ forwarding to everything we found in forums as suggestions even tryed it with a vpn over his home servers

[humble laurel]

And not a rant in firstplace its clearly bullshit to force players who want to cross-platform to use epic in any way

[hidden forge]

Did you only try with clients or did you set up a dedicated server?
Client-only cross platform needs EOS true, a dedicated server is platform agnostic

[wicked knot]

Doesnt direct IP connection also bypass any launcher networking aides?

[hidden forge]

ah right, that option exists too
tbf never used it, don't know whats needed for the setup either
you can try hosting a dedicated server instead, that can be joined via IP too

[tawny cobalt]

hi all, im trying to set up a server and have set up my port forwarding as below and just want to see if im doing anything wrong as other people cant connect but i can see the server is up as i can connect to in on the internal IP for my network

[humble laurel]

We want to try to setup a dedicatet sever maybe we try that today , but we tryied direct ip connection.
I wanted to ask if anyone has advice on connecting to each other before we do that . Im sorry that my first message sounded rude but i was not amused at that point to say the least

[hidden forge]

You need the internal IP as the "Server IP", not external

[deep turret]

as xeet said,
it needs to know what ip to forward to, this is your server local network one

[wet elbow]

I just started a fresh (dedicated) server with a friend. When i created it in the Server Manager, i noticed "Mode" or something along those lines was "Singleplayer", but we of course wish to share milestones and progress.
We just unlocked our first milestone, and he had to rejoin to also obtain the splitter/merger items.

Will he have to rejoin for every milestone in the future, or is it most likely just a one-off bug, or worse yet, did i done goofed and need to change a setting?

[tawny cobalt]

@hidden forge @deep turret just tried setting it up with the internal IP but still had the same issue

[deep turret]

there are 2 possible network issues,

• firewall settings (especially EdgeTraversal)
• CGNAT : your router ip is not internet connectable

[wet elbow]

What is "EdgeTraversal" ??
But firewall, yes. Treewalker did you make sure to allow the service in your server firewall?

[deep turret]

a windows firewall settings which allow connections from behind a router, i.e with port forwarding

otherwise it allows from localnetwork only basically

[tawny cobalt]

yup, running on windows 10 and it has bypassing enabled

[wet elbow]

o, ive only ever ran Linux servers so i havent heard the term before. Thanks 😄

[wet elbow]

As Sharklien said, the culprit may very likely be CGNAT. The easier ways to test is to host a webserver (they basically cannot fail) if youre sure you know how to port forward, or check one of the "whats my ip"-sites, they sometimes show information indicating whether your IP is behind CGNAT or not

For example, i pay for static IP, so i have this (redacted ip and provider name)

Dynamic may be fine as well tho, so it can be misleading

[tawny cobalt]

yeah this looks like it might be the issue, my WAN IP starts with 100. and by the sounds that could be a key indicator of CGNAT, any clue if i can get round that?

[hidden forge]

is it between between 100.64.X.X and 100.128.X.X?
if yes, then either ask your ISP if you can get a public IP or try IPv6

[wet elbow]

Where i live its common to be able to pay $3 a month for a static IP

[frozen parrot]

hello friends, i am new to server management, and i had a question: what is the difference between IpNetDriver and EpicNetDriver ?

in Engine.ini

trying to increase my tick rate to 60 lol

[shell portal]

So it says server not authincated and offline I port forwarded all the right things I switched internet providers and they made me use there box cause it's fiber

[wet elbow]

Does the physical server itself actually have connection to the internet?

[wicked knot]

If you changed boxes after you did port forwarding, you need to do it again, in the new box

[shell portal]

I did that

7777 and 8888 agin

[deep turret]

TCP and UDP ?

[rotund ermine]

Hey, I moved my server, which previously ran on Windows, to Docker. However, I now get the infinite loading screen bug. I used the same ports as before. Port 7777 TCP/UDP, and instead of port 8888, I used one above 50000. Does anyone have any ideas?

[solid oar]

hello, it's tutorial :
For create server dedicated in satisfactory, Please open port 7777 and 8888 tcp/udp. if you using VPS proxmox installed in dedicated server, in to node open and redirection port (INPUT, FORWARD, PREROUTING), the but is redirect traffic or requetes in server dedicated to VPS (vm) : Exemple shema -> || NODE : IP PUBLIC -> VM : IP LOCAL.

EXEMPLE :

• You have dedicated server IP : 84.xx.xx.xx

• In to dedicated server you have ISO proxmox (debian12)

• Create VM server and connected your network.

• In to Shell node (dedicated server) please enter redirection port (iptables regles)

• in to vm open port 7777 and 8888 (if you want pterodactyl installed into you have just add into node (pterodactyl) allocation (for adding port) after create server and add allocation 7777 and 8888

• **IF you have VPS Windows ** you have just open port into firewall and redirection port in to dedicated server

IF you want support no problem to you support ❤️

@rotund ermine @deep turret

[fringe berry]

had this issue the issue was Port Forwarding

[rotund ermine]

I just shut down my docker, gave the Windows system the IP address of the docker, and the connection to the server was immediately possible again. So it can't be due to port forwarding.

[rotund ermine]

What I noticed is that although I changed port 8888 to another port in docker-compose.yml, when the container starts, the message “Setting messaging port to 8888” still appears in the log. Does the port need to be changed somewhere else?

[scarlet bramble]

Does anyone know why an error when loading showing Respawn_Sequence.bat getting stuck there?

[rotund ermine]

When I use port 8888, it works. So it seems that the port I enter in docker-compose is being ignored or overwritten or something.

[mild thunder]

you would have the port that the docker container uses, then also you would have the port that the server is told to use on startup, if using a preconfigured docker container, some of them have an environmental variable that needs to be set or you have to set it manually.

[west jasper]

Hello! Been setting up my own dedicated server since yesterday, at first I was able to connect, but other were not, now I managed to properly set port forwarding (I think) the port shows as open on various websites, my server is running as seen as online by me and everyone, but we are all stuck on "Respawning.bat" loading screen, and no one is able to log in including myself (host). I am connected to steam ,epic, and internet is fine. (🤔 anyone can help? (same issue as Steelman it seems)

[mild thunder]

infinite loading screen usually means that you are unable to access the secondary port of the server that was added in 1.1 and it defaults to 8888

[west jasper]

hum ok, opened ports for both 7777 and 8888, I'll look into it thanks!

ok I had not saved the 8888 rule on the rooter xD thanks will try again!

[west jasper]

it WORKED thanks a bunch @mild thunder 🥳

[hidden forge]

Did you just change the port mapping or also pass the new port to the server itself? Just the first won't work

[ornate ledge]

I've been trying to get this working for like 2 days. Keep getting "Failed to Connect to Server API"

[hearty sail]

hey guys, I have a dedicated server running satisfactory, but when I'm trying to connect to it I'm getting stuck on initialization screen, anyone had this before?

[wet elbow]

If its the "initializing respawn sequence.bat" or whatever, i had that just yesterday.
@scarlet bramble
My solution was to delete the server in my Pterodactyl panel, forward port 7777, 8888 and some random port >25000, assign all three to a new Satisfactory server and using the proper egg (https://github.com/pelican-eggs/eggs/tree/master/game_eggs/steamcmd_servers/satisfactory).
Im unsure which of the steps actually solved the issue, as i did both in one swoop.
The new egg allowed me to specify the query port and beacon port, so i have these arguments appended to my startup command
-Port=7777 -ServerQueryPort=8888 -BeaconPort=25678

[hearty sail]

i deleted everything want to start from zero

i'll try what you said, ty))

[hidden forge]

Beaconport is no longer necessary

[mild thunder]

That is not the latest egg for satisfactory on pterodactyl.

[hearty sail]

i used an image from docker hub and it worked

[wet elbow]

Which egg is the latest for Pterodactyl then ?

[mild thunder]

The link I have gets deleted if I post it here can I direct message it to you?

[wet elbow]

Yes, of course 🙂

Seems Macie is correct

[ornate ledge]

idk what I've done wrong. Hosting locally on Windows. Forwarded ports 7777, 8888, 15777, 15000. keep getting this error

[wet elbow]

If youre on the same network you need to have enabled NAT Loopback, if you dont, you need to connect via. the internal IP

[ornate ledge]

thank you so much. I saw the loopback thing when googling but it said it's usually enabled by default. didn't even think to try the internal IP

working now, uploaded my save, just need my cousin to join to see if it's working externally

[rancid ether]

[wet elbow]

mods, i have a suggestion for a whitelist

oki

[wet elbow]

Theres a site named "can you see me" used to check if an external service gets a proper response from any given port to your IP address. Its quite useful for testing things like this. I just tried with both port 7777 and 8888 and both got "Success", in case you dont have patience for your cousin. There are similar sites out there, but i did not try them. You can google for things like "check open port"

[ornate ledge]

Got another error, but refreshed it and was able to join the server myself. pretty confident it's working as intended now

[rotund ermine]

I’ve figured it out in the meantime. In the Docker Compose file, it’s not enough to just replace 8888:8888/tct with the desired port – you also need to explicitly add the environment variable SERVERMESSAGINGPORT with the new port.

[hidden forge]

yes, because the server tells the client what the secondary port is. if it thinks it's still 8888 it will tell the client 8888 and the connection will fail

[rotund ermine]

This is what it looks like for me, for example. With this configuration, it works.

What exactly is the purpose of the MAXOBJECTS variable?
On the server I’m having the problem that, when players move through the world, it sometimes starts lagging for a few seconds—especially when approaching larger factories. Occasionally there are also disconnects.
I assume this is related to how much has to be calculated at once? Would it make sense to lower the value a bit to possibly reduce such issues?

For example, if I were to reduce the value by about one third—would that cause other issues, like buildings no longer being displayed or something similar?

[wicked knot]

I would have to think that is related to UObjects, which can cause a crash if the default engine max is exceeded.

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Unreal_Engine#Unreal_Engine_UObject_Limit

[rotund ermine]

Ok, so I’d better not mess with it?

[wicked knot]

def dont lower it. Increase it if needed, later. It can cause some engine instability

[scarlet patio]

Is there somewhere I can post a public server ip?

[wet elbow]

For what purpose?

[scarlet patio]

For purpose of advertising a public server I am hosting… for the public 🙂

[wet elbow]

Perhaps in the r/SatisfactoryGame subreddit? I just scimmed the rules, and at a glance it seems allowed, but id recommend doublechecking it yourself

[scarlet patio]

Cool cool, I just thought the discord might have a place for that, similar to how Astroneer has a channel specifically for posting public server ip’s

[wet elbow]

Yeah, idk, i joined yesterday XD

[scarlet patio]

I’ll just leave this right here……

#dedicated-servers message

[olive ocean]

hey i got trunas instaled in my laptop at home recently and wanted to open a server for satisfactory so me and my homis can play it together on our home network but instaling this is a bit complicated and there is no through guide can some one help me

???

[edgy pasture]

You could always check the wiki for a setup guide.

If you don't feel like googling, here's some spoonfeeding.

!wikisearch dedicated+server

[rancid ether]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=dedicated+server

[gaunt oasis]

Afternoon. Around ~200 hours ago I installed steamcmd and set up a dedicated server on a Proxmox Hosted Ubuntu VM. On the wiki it says "force_install_dir should preferably be an absolute path. On Linux, a tilde-prefixed directory is also acceptable. "

For me the tilda route did not work

When I installed using the following from the steam users home folder.

force_install_dir ~/satisfactory_server/

the path was ignored and it was installed as follows.

/home/steam/.local/share/Steam/steamcmd/~/satisfactory_server/FactoryServer.sh

When I changed to the full path it worked perfectly

force_install_dir /home/steam/satisfactory_server/

I would like to know if my experience is unique, or if my findings can be confirmed. Does the wiki need updating?

[sleek kestrel]

Haha! Got me.. was just about to ask but i saw this, so thank you for that.

Do we know if the devs are still looking for logs, as the above was posted 2 months ago. I can easily reproduce the desync issues just by not building a foundation for a while.

Also, is there any info about dedicated server crashes when building blueprints too quickly?

I'm also happy to give devs access to my server to grab logs and join the server to reproduce the issue directly. It's a pretty large built-up server, if that matters.

[edgy pasture]

Probably wouldn’t hurt to send logs. In reply to the top pin on this channel.

There are lots of posts on the QA site about it. You could reply to one of those, or make your own post, but it might get lost in the sauce.

It’s nearly been half a year since the (un)reliable messaging port stuff was implemented. I would hope they have some idea of what is causing the issue by now… but they are taking their time on coming up with a fix.

Idk about the blueprint crash issue. That might be a separate thing. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[daring stratus]

hey does anyone know a solution; we have a dedicated server but we cant compelte any milestones? we can select them, send stuff up, but no unlocks are avilable afterwards (completely new save)

[edgy pasture]

#dedicated-servers message

[edgy pasture]

I guess it would be in poor taste to reply to the Google form in #announcements that dedicated servers that are connected to the internet have been broken on experimental and stable since 1.1 happened.

[peak crow]

hey i just got fuel power and im just sinking all of my polymer resin because i am already making rubber and plastic from a different source

is that ok

[edgy pasture]

sure

[still vale]

i got a dedicatet server up and running localy i am able to join it but if i try to join it via the outside Ip or my Domain it only shows that it does not exist and i do not know where i went wrong all ports are port-forwarded and i also know that joining trough my domain works because on the maschine there are other servers running where i can easily join trough that way. Does anyone have an idea why it is not working.

The Server is Debian based and i installed the Server trough the Docker composer.

[still vale]

it seems to work now i have no idea why it didnt work but now it does

[rustic elm]

anyone know a satisfactory server hosting website, that isnt complete ass? Like everything i tried just glitches out

[wet elbow]

Are you sure it's the hosts that are ass and not the satisfactory server software thats buggy?
What kinds of issues are you running into?

[rustic elm]

on our current hosts its that when i build it sometimes just doesnt register i build it and i have to rejoin. My friend has it too, but for me its more common. When building i spend more time rejoining then actually building

[wet elbow]

Me and my friend have that exact same issue, though only with platforms/ramps. I can build just fine, but he has to rejoin like 90% of the time to see what he placed down, otherwise it's just stuck as blue holograms or invisible

I'm pretty sure it's just Satisfactory being goofed, not the hosts fault

[rustic elm]

exactly my issue

and with the other host i did not have these issues

but others that were just as bad

[wet elbow]

Perhaps it was another Satisfactory version? My buddy played at the start of the year I believe and never had any of the annoying issues we face today.
I also talked to Macie from this server who said she just played singleplayer because she was tired of all the multiplayer issues

[rustic elm]

i would rather play single too but my friend also liked to play when iam offline

[daring stratus]

i was holding back on playing MP with my group until 1.1 , its a real shame its still this shoddy 😭

is a locally hosted game better? like not the dedicated server, but a "normal" mulitplayer save

[sullen radish]

Is there a list of known bugs and possible workarounds for dedicated servers so I don't have to spam a lot?

The first thing I'm looking for is if there's a workaround for vehicles only loading their cargo compartments in, and not the rest of the vehicle.

[wicked knot]

that sounds, ... normal?

[sullen radish]

Normally the vehicles aren’t invisible, no.

Disassembling them and reassembling them seems to fix them.

[daring stratus]

#dedicated-servers message

the worst thing i now is foundations bugging out when building / removing

i am currently building up a foundation base and i have to reconnect basically every two minutes or so

its really annoying lol

[thorn pebble]

Hey, so me and my friend have a world we have been playing on just through steam and we wanted to turn it into a dedicated server. How can we do that?

[dusty hazel]

either buy with host or make one then in game u can easily put the save u want

[thorn pebble]

Yeah I own a server, just didnt know if there was anything i had to do to get the server running with our mods or stuff

[daring stratus]

afaik servers dont support mods - that is, you need to have all mods installed locally and manually match up versions for all players

[thorn pebble]

So just use the regular save file for the server and then make sure me and my friend use the same SMM profile to log on?

[daring stratus]

i believe that should work, yes. but i never tried it, so take it with an ocean of salt from me personally

[thorn pebble]

mmk

thanks

[sullen radish]

Yeah this answered like 95% of my questions, thanks.

[daring stratus]

its interesting, if i start building foundations immediately after logging in, they work for a while

then after some time they stop working. i dont know yet if its time-realted or if its something i do that makes them stop working then

[winter crown]

Does anyone know a good host for 1.1? I can’t find any that support it yet but maybe I’m blind lol

[daring stratus]

i host on nitrado

[mild thunder]

if you go to the website for the mods, they do list if they are compatible with client and server. they will have to uploaded to the server. i have done that through the Satisfactory mod manager.

[winter crown]

Do you use the experemental satisfactory server?

[daring stratus]

no just normal one

[winter crown]

ok and that supports the 1.1 correct?

[winter crown]

^^^?

[daring stratus]

yeah were playing 1.1 on it

[winter crown]

Awesome thank you

[sleek kestrel]

Confirmed they were able to replicate the desync issue, and no longer need logs.

[burnt night]

Hey! Anyone knows if there is some kind of griefer protection that can be enabled? I would like to create a server for my minions and myself to play on. I don't except any fools play but better safe than sorry? Thanks!

[rustic elm]

anyone know why my server tick rate is capped at 30? Really bugs my game when its that low

[small citrus]

you can increase it

[rustic elm]

where?

[small citrus]

up

[rustic elm]

but another server i had had a tickrate of 123

with worse hardware

[small citrus]

idk

Probably configuration

[rustic elm]

where is the engine.ini file for you tho

[small citrus]

up

If you scroll you will probably find everything

Search Engine.ini ➡️

[rustic elm]

the server file manager is a bit weird

i cant search

only click trough the files

so under factory games, saved

wait

found it

thanks

tho theres no line that says smth about tick rate

[small citrus]

No but in the discord

Since i'm here, it's the same questions everyday ahah

[rustic elm]

its like this

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
MaxClientRate=120000
MaxInternetClientRate=120000
NetServerMaxTickRate=60
LanServerMaxTickRate=60

[/Script/SteamSockets.SteamSocketsNetDriver]
MaxClientRate=120000
MaxInternetClientRate=120000
NetServerMaxTickRate=60
LanServerMaxTickRate=60

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.EpicNetDriver]
MaxClientRate=120000
MaxInternetClientRate=120000
NetServerMaxTickRate=60
LanServerMaxTickRate=60

without the netservermaxtickrate and the LanServerMaxTickRate

[small citrus]

Add it no ?

NetServerMaxTickRate=60
LanServerMaxTickRate=60
Are the values that increases max tickrate

[hidden forge]

You can set a password to connect, but not really much more

[burnt night]

Okey thanks!

[daring stratus]

What is the tick rate for? Would it help with desync?

[shell lantern]

hi, i have a problem, i switched my save on another server, but i can't connect to this second server, here is the message when im trying to connect (the loading screen is infinit)

[hidden forge]

Infinite loading screen means something is blocking the secondary port 8888/tcp

[wet elbow]

Frequent backups and keeping a good handful of them is probably your best bet from what it seems

[rustic elm]

but like can i increase it how much i want? Like can i put it to 240?

[small citrus]

Idk man, i recommand you experience, test, crash, and redo

I mean 60 is already a huge improvment

but if you wanna try it, try it 🤣

[rustic elm]

am now stuck in the loading screen. But can hear everything in game

[small citrus]

@rustic elm as he said, did you check your ports

[rustic elm]

how do i check ym port

[small citrus]

sudo ss --plnut | grep Factory

to check ports used by the server

And then its your firewall configuration or router configuration

[rustic elm]

but the games loaded. Like when moving my mouse the sound goes accordingly, and when i open menus the sound plays too. Its just like the image is stuck

[rustic elm]

what does this mean, is it in the files

[small citrus]

It's a linux command bro

I mean how are you managing your server ?

Because you seem to not understand what you are doing

[rustic elm]

wym linux

[small citrus]

wym linux ?????????????,

[rustic elm]

am using windows

[small citrus]

Ok bro i didn't know

[rustic elm]

also i dont host anything myself

[small citrus]

I don't know windows, i'll let someone else help you

[rustic elm]

i bought it

on a website

and it doesnt work

wym you dont know windows?

[small citrus]

Yeah cause you need to know what you are doing

I don't use windows for server configuration

and i don't know how to configure a windows server

[rustic elm]

do you use ubuntu?

[small citrus]

YEAH

ofc

[rustic elm]

thats good i heard

its like window

[small citrus]

Managing a windows server is like taking a semi to go to the store

It's too big, unefficient, and freaking annoying

Managing a server is not magic, you should find friends to help you

[rustic elm]

but i bought it off a website

they should manage it

on survival servers btw

they have good hardware

[small citrus]

Oh !

even better

Contact support

[rustic elm]

done

[fleet wyvern]

I have a satisfactory server setup with truenas. I am able to join and play on the server using server manager. I have port forwarded the nas using 7777 as internal ports and 8888 as external ports. using join game I can only use my local IP address to join.
My friends are being loaded in with server manager but are in a loading screen loop

[burnt burrow]

Did tcp 8888 forwarded?

[fleet wyvern]

I have both protocals enabled

[burnt burrow]

I ran into this same issue last night and finally fixed it today

The problem was likely because I didn't properly set up forwarding for all three ports last night

But now I "Failed to connect to the server API"😭 😭

[fleet wyvern]

3 ports? I thought it was only 7777 and 8888?

[burnt burrow]

...my mistake, it's just ​two ports. Though for 7777, need to allow ​both TCP and UDP protocols.

[wicked knot]

In a lot of routers, it does take 3 rules to get them all to work

[fleet wyvern]

What are the 3 rules???

[wicked knot]

7777 tcp, 7777 udp, and 8888 tcp

[burnt burrow]

Actually, my 'three ports' thing was totally wrong😂

[fleet wyvern]

So I can't just do this?

[wicked knot]

probably not, but it would depend on how the UI was set up for the router.

[mild thunder]

that kinda looks like it is sending 8888 from external to 7777 internal because the 7777 is under local heading and 8888 is under external

[wicked knot]

that "looks" like it would redirect traffic on port 8888 to port 7777 on the target machine

[mild thunder]

if they had to type 8888 as the port in server manager to connect, then for sure that is a redirection of 8888 to 7777

[burnt burrow]

yes..I think so

[fleet wyvern]

Correct

I tried people to type 8888 as well as the port

[mild thunder]

yep, so multiple rules needed

multiple port forwardings needed

[burnt burrow]

looks incorrect

[wicked knot]

unless you are doing something ... odd, local port should match external port

[fleet wyvern]

It gives me an error

but there is no other device being port forwarded

[wicked knot]

delete the first rule

[mild thunder]

unless you are using -ExternalReliablePort= then you need 2 rules one for 7777 on local and external and one using 8888 on local and external

[wicked knot]

and get rid of the redirect rule

[burnt burrow]

This page means you forward ur local 7777 to remote 8888, But in fact you still need local 8888

[fleet wyvern]

so something like this?

These are my settings for satisfactory, I left them on default

[burnt burrow]

looks correct

[fleet wyvern]

I have been reading some more things about forwarding a port and I have also disabled UPnP

[hidden forge]

@fleet wyvern As the others already said you need the following mappings/forwarding:
external -> internal
7777/TCP -> 7777/TCP
7777/UDP -> 7777/UDP
8888/TCP -> 8888/TCP

[fleet wyvern]

so this one is the 8888/TCP -> 8888/TCP? I get an error for when I do the 7777/TCP -> 7777/TCP or the
7777/UDP -> 7777/UDP and I don't know why it complains why it is over lapping when 8888/TCP -> 8888/TCP does work

[hidden forge]

Try to set the 7777 rule to both protocols

[burnt burrow]

@fleet wyvernWhen your friend in Server Manager, Is the status of your server "Game Going"?

[fleet wyvern]

deleted the 8888 rule but still get the error

[hidden forge]

Also that one points to the wrong port

[mild thunder]

able to post the page that lists all the port forwards on it, maybe we can see what it would be overlapping with

[fleet wyvern]

so external start/ end port doesn't point to external? I don't get it anymore

[fleet wyvern]

oh wait I am sooo stupid

[burnt burrow]

Delete it first

[fleet wyvern]

It is a range, I am so sorry for wasting your time

I should have known

[burnt burrow]

try:
local 7777 external 7777 both
local 8888 external 8888 tcp

[fleet wyvern]

Going to see what that device is before I break things

[burnt burrow]

It should work fine..I think

[mild thunder]

so if your other computer needs that full range, change your satisfactory server to something higher than that range and then do the port forwards again

[hidden forge]

Yeah, that covers the 7777 port 🤣

If needed, you can just remap the 7777 port easily

[burnt burrow]

😂

[fleet wyvern]

Peepoo happy

[mild thunder]

yay

[burnt burrow]

👍

So, does anyone know how to reset the password if I forgot the one I set when first connecting to the server?😭

Or is it stored in some configuration file?

[mild thunder]

it is hashed in the config file, so you will need to delete the file and resetup the server

[burnt burrow]

em..which file

[burnt burrow]

ok..

Thanks

😗

[scarlet arrow]

Im trying to setup a server through my pterodactyl panel for Satisfactory and have the 7777 and 8888 port setup and whenever i try to create a world threw the in game server manager the server crashes

[scarlet arrow]

Would anyone know the fix? ^

[mild thunder]

any error messages in the log when it crashes

[scarlet arrow]

Just this

Unhandled Exception: SIGABRT: abort() called

[scarlet arrow]

i can screenshare the log if needed or whatever

[burnt burrow]

Which server system？

[edgy pasture]

I asked…

#satisfactory message

somehow I don’t expect the answer to be yes. Would love to be wrong though. 😅

[whole meadow]

is the call stack similar to this one ? #dedicated-servers message

[wet elbow]

What egg are you using?

[fleet wyvern]

Has the Game.ini file been replaced with the Engine.ini file? Trying to increase the max player count

[burnt burrow]

In Game.ini:
[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=8

[fleet wyvern]

Then I am going back and look harder

This should be the place where Game.ini should be right?

[burnt burrow]

yes

[fleet wyvern]

should I make the game.ini file since it is missing?

[burnt burrow]

huh?

[fleet wyvern]

I don't see the game.ini file. I only see the Engine.ini and Gameusersettings.ini file

[burnt burrow]

I don't know why, but in reality, there should be three INI files with written content in this folder.

[burnt burrow]

This two, and Game.ini

[fleet wyvern]

Made the Game.ini file and put

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=5
in it

It sadly didn't work

[burnt burrow]

Actually I believe that you found a wrong file

[deep turret]

are you in server directory or user .conf directory ?

[fleet wyvern]

Server I believe, what is the difference?

[burnt burrow]

have you started server at least one time

?

[fleet wyvern]

I have played with friends, I have also restarted the server multiple times, also after making the game.ini file

[burnt burrow]

So strange...
Is FactoryServer.sh here?

[fleet wyvern]

let me check

yes it is in the folder before FactoryGame

[burnt burrow]

Or another way is start with this script

-ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8

[fleet wyvern]

Giving it a try

That worked immediately thank you

It sorta works, launching the server with ./FactoryServer.sh only runs as long as I have that tap open. It is also a different instance then the application on my truenas "board" So I am looking how I can merge them together

[burnt burrow]

Use systemd

[fleet wyvern]

The original world files are in /mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/satisfactory-server/config/saved/server/ where can I find where the files are being saved from the ./FactoryServer.sh?

Oh no I will just download it and use the ingame client

[burnt burrow]

That's the way

[fleet wyvern]

I lost the password to the original server💀

[burnt burrow]

💀

In the parent directory of your save files, there is a file whose name contains your game port number.

[fleet wyvern]

Looking at the wiki where they are stored

[burnt burrow]

Delete it

Then you'll be able to reconfigure these server settings.

Include password

[fleet wyvern]

Worked, working on the systemd part now. Forgot how to make it a service

[gleaming cipher]

Any further traffic on the 1.1 desync issues? After having an almost flawless runthrough on 1.0 and convincing some friends to give the game another shot, it has become grating to try and enjoy our spaghetti simulator. With everything I've heard about blueprints, I've been hesitant to even slap down the designer...

[sterile parcel]

could not connect to server API, but i think server is fine cuz some people could join, also im in moscow so that could affect connection

[fleet wyvern]

The password of the systemd service is different. I tried deleting the satisfactory server but I can't log in

[fleet wyvern]

Looks like they are 2 seperate things and the password is stored somewhere else maybe

[scarlet arrow]

I believe it's a 1.1 egg? I didn't set it up

[wet elbow]

Head to startup and check the docker image

I would not recommend using the one that i am using, it seems there is another one, more recently updated, available

But mine works just as fine

[fleet wyvern]

I found the location and it is nixed now

[scarlet arrow]

Will let you know in a bit. I think the computer running the panel went down or wifi went out temporarily

[wet elbow]

Hosting a server over wifi 💀

[scarlet arrow]

The panel might be over wifi / ethernet. The server is in a datacenter

If you have a better egg docker recommendation then that I can switch it out

[wet elbow]

Im using the same one, so the egg shouldnt be the issue. If you go to the official Pterodactyl website, scroll to the bottom on the frontpage, theres a link to a page that lists eggs that are not ParkerVCP eggs

[scarlet arrow]

And they work for 1.1?

[wet elbow]

I would assume so yeah. Im using the ParkerVCP one for 1.1, and Macie suggested the egg from the site i just mentioned for servers in general

[tribal lantern]

is there any news on the issue of rubberbanding and ghost placement since the new port system?

[wet elbow]

People still regularly complain about it

[tribal lantern]

as expected lol

[wet elbow]

I started playing a week ago on a fresh server, and it happens for me.
Someone had the same issue on what i assume is a fresh server like 3 days ago. I dont think anything new has happened

[tribal lantern]

yeah the issue is in how to server handles the game, ports and networking now

so a fresh save wont help

[mild thunder]

yes, the latest egg works for 1.1. Is it installed on a VM on proxmox, (processor type needs to be host, seen from other comments)? are you giving the docker container enough resources to run?

[scarlet arrow]

Its installed on a docker
I didn't set it up someone else did since its a big server hosting multiple games at once. Tons of resources for it probably overkill actually

Like set up as in the whole ptero panel and how everything runs

I installed the satisfactory egg fresh and ran it to get the issue

[mild thunder]

if you are able to upload the egg and configure it on setup, you do have some admin access to the panel, how much resources are you giving it, or are you just allowing it to use as much as it can?

since you talked about screen share earlier, in like 40 or so minutes, i would have time to walk through from importing the egg to starting the server

[scarlet arrow]

Im at work for another 6 ish hrs lol

[scarlet arrow]

Uh I think 32gb ram. 400% cpu. Unlimited storage.

I have full admin panel access

I could always just give it the whole server. 128gb ram. 1200% cpu etc

[mild thunder]

16g of ram is what i started off with, i didn't limit mine in cpu as I could just monitor it and make sure it wasn't preventing other game servers from having issues. after you get off work, hit me up, ill probably be off work around then too.

[scarlet arrow]

Kk cool ty

[wet elbow]

For refence, i gave my server
600% CPU, recently upped it to 900%
8GB RAM, recently upped to 10GB
10GB disk, only using 5GB

[burnt burrow]

When I press TAB or open a machine's UI, my game freezes for half a second and my character starts teleporting back and forth between two points.

Like if I'm falling, I get stuck jerking in the air until the freeze is over.

What's going on...

[wheat hornet]

@mild thunder Hi, I am the one that set up the pterodactyl panel that @scarlet arrow is using. Satisfactory is the only game I have had trouble with getting working. I am probably just doing something stupid, I am not a professional.

I usually avoid asking for help because I don't want to look like an idiot.

[mild thunder]

does it happen to be a VM on proxmox?

[wheat hornet]

yes

[mild thunder]

processor type needs to be host

[wheat hornet]

Uh, I have little experience with proxmox, we inherited this server from someone.

I can look into it

Do you know where i should look for that?

[hidden forge]

VM > Hardware > Processors > Type "host"

[wheat hornet]

I see, It's set to kvm64.

[hidden forge]

yeah, kvm64 is "too old"

probably need at least "x86-64-v3" if you want an emualted one, or best set it to "host" for passthrough

[wheat hornet]

Will it break anything when I set it to host? We do not have physical access to this server until december.

[hidden forge]

no

[wheat hornet]

If its not too complicated and so I can learn from this, Why does this affect this game specifically?

[hidden forge]

it has to do with CPU flags/extensions and the UE engine needing some that are not present in kvm64/older CPU types

[wheat hornet]

Thank you very much, that has fixed it.

I would have probably never figured that out.

[mild thunder]

from the image earlier today, i would also suggest switching to the newer egg

[wheat hornet]

:<

link removed,

[mild thunder]

yep, i end up Direct messaging people it because of the removal of that

[wheat hornet]

I got the latest from the pterodactyl community egg repository

It supports 1.1

[mild thunder]

cool, the image earlier was from another place, so if updated since then, should be good

i left my servers using the 1.0 one, but manually made the changes myself that 1.1 needed

[small citrus]

KVM64 is not compatible with dedicated server

Not asking for help makes you look incompetent to your friends / whoever you host for
Asking for help makes you look curious/learning (and sometimes immensely stupid, which is entertaining 🙂 ) to strangers

[agile obsidian]

I started a thread in the help/support for my server issues if anyone might have some input 😪

[fluid cypress]

I have a problem where my server has a mega factory. When me or my friend go there it causes the server to be unplayable and infinte loading screen. Anyone else have this issue?

[wet elbow]

Im not that far into the game yet. What kind of hardware are you hosting on?

And you say mega factory, i assume thats like phase5 or all phases completed?

[fluid cypress]

No not really

its just phase 3 and a huge factory

[wet elbow]

Im phase 3 and the largest spaghetti mess ive built runs just fine

Can you tell me more about your hosting situation? The hardware, what panel you use

Mainly CPU and memory available

[fluid cypress]

Sure I run a 6600K with 32 gigs of DDR 4 on a ubuntu linux

[wet elbow]

Is it the same machine youre gaming on?

[fluid cypress]

No its dedicated server right next to my modem that has port forwarding

Just an old pc I had laying around

[wet elbow]

Ah okay. If it only runs the Satisfactory server and no other game servers id assume it should be fine, but due to the limited core count i wouldnt recommend running multiple game servers on it at the same time.
Do you have any monitoring on CPU/memory usage while playing? Do you have a panel like Pterodactyl?

[fluid cypress]

No I just use top command in powershell

[wet elbow]

Powershell is a Windows thing xD

Or not 🤔

what

[fluid cypress]

Yeah I remote into my linux server with powershell using ssh

the only function of this dedicated computer is to run satisfactory dedicated server. Litterly all it does

[wet elbow]

ah, yeah. Id highly recommend monitoring the CPU usage closely when stuff goes bad

Is the server with HDD or SSD?

[fluid cypress]

m.2 ssd

[wet elbow]

poggies, then we can rule out a slow, dying HDD 😛

[fluid cypress]

Yeah the save works on singleplayer just not on the server :/

[wet elbow]

My best guess is CPU issues, so if you can report back on the status of that (feel free to ping me) i may be able to help further.
My secondary guess would be you placed down something in the area that glitches your save, but im not experienced enough to know if thats actually a valid option. I currently have many issues and glitches related to the Boombox in my save. My teammate pretty much duplicated himself with it

[wet elbow]

Just to confirm, this is when you enter the area where you crash?

[fluid cypress]

when it locked up yes

[wet elbow]

Have you checked both the server and clients logs or crash logs? The client may have the most useful information

[fluid cypress]

Do not really know what I am looking for my client logs

[wet elbow]

Me neither. Usually errors stand out quite a lot, so something that disrupts the flow

[fluid cypress]

@wet elbow something like this?

[wet elbow]

Yeah, but ideally a lot closer to the end of the file.
My latest log file contains the same errors as youre showing there, and my game functioned alright, so those are harmless

Ill be hopping to bed, id recommend posting your question again so fresh eyes and more experienced pioneers can get a look at it 🫡

[fickle kite]

server should just quit out when you're sending a million ppm to the sink right? 😐

[burnt burrow]

Tried restart server?

I've seen error like this. A restart fixed it.

[fluid cypress]

Yes of course

Sorry that’s not meant to be passive aggressive

[tawny mantle]

Hi guys, I currently rent a dedicated server with Nitrado - For some reason, my Blueprints do not show in game after saving, despite the .sbp folders being created in the server files. Anyone have any idea on a fix for this? Thanks

[fluid cypress]

Is that a hosting server service?

[mild thunder]

it could be a invalid character in the session name

[whole meadow]

Yes Invalid session name could be the reason.

[silver ingot]

What is the name of port 8888 for the command line? Is that just the "ReliablePort" option?

[fluid cypress]

Man never knew trying to host a dedicated-server would be a rabbit hole to fix. I just cannot figure out why it is having so many issues with this save I have. The only thing I can think of is we used a lot of ceiling lights on the blueprint with elevators maybe that is the cause of it...

This is basically the same pov from the server to my singleplayer where it does work. As you can see on glances it is not hitting the hardware too bad....

[whole meadow]

Render distance for clients are usually lower, its the same for clients on regular multiplayer.

[fluid cypress]

yeah however there are no conveyor belts and the server jitter lags like crazy

[whole meadow]

oh the lag? I thought you were talking about why lights and signs are not lit when viewed from a distance on DS

[fluid cypress]

Nope it is extreme lag where it takes a bit to jump away from it. I cannot see any power outside of 1000m. If I disconnect I cannot rejoin unfortaintly.

you can see on the server picture that the constructors have no belts or storage attached to them when they are left over spagetti

I followed the optimization guide for the server setting https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/902621736602861588/1307058535170969620/DarthFaders_Satisfactory_Dedicated_Server_optimization_Guide.pdf?ex=68a967de&is=68a8165e&hm=6e8ac799f5c28816461f6abc715ad11de3395a09aca0caffe9909910a8c685f6& to see if that fixed my issue. But it did not work 🙁

[mild thunder]

if you use htop, is one of the cores on the cpu maxed out?

[fluid cypress]

let me try real quick

Need to reboot the server and change the saves so I can join real quick

watching it for a little bit. it hits a max of 90 for like a frame.

while I am standing infront of the factory @mild thunder

you know whats crazy is that I just noticed that my HUB is not rendered -.-

like I can see it on the compass but not ingame

i got a recording of it doing this in htop. To be clear I am on my server in the middle of my factory

[mild thunder]

yeah, so it looks like it is maxing out a core in your server, so that is causing issues

[fluid cypress]

is there a way to prevent it from doing that so it shares the load on the other cores?

[mild thunder]

nope

do you know what processor is in the server?

[fluid cypress]

I7 6700K it was fine up until this point where we started adding blueprints and making things more complicated it caused issues

I was thinking of upgrading the server to a 5800x. Do you think I will have the same issues?

[mild thunder]

im not sure

[burnt burrow]

not a big upgrade

[fluid cypress]

🙁

I would be open to any suggestions that somone would have ❤️

[burnt burrow]

Is there anything wrong in the video? I don't really get it.

😗

[mild thunder]

watch at the top where one core is maxed out, the server does toss it around from core to core though

[burnt burrow]

My htop interface shows the same phenomenon...

[fluid cypress]

[mild thunder]

maxing of a core also happens when the secondary port gets hit with unexpected traffic

[fluid cypress]

Looking at maybe upgrading to a 7600x

[burnt burrow]

Im using 9900kf

always a core 100%

[fluid cypress]

If I send you my save can you try it on your server?

I am curious if it works for you

[mild thunder]

im at work, but if you DM it to me i could load it after i get off and let you access it, i haven't run the optimizations on it though

[burnt burrow]

​I'm down, but maybe in an hour? I'm in the middle of a thing with my friends.

[fluid cypress]

No problem my dude I apperciate all the help you guys give me.

[burnt burrow]

How would you like to send it?

[reef pasture]

Hi, is there a way to send crash report to maybe hope dev can solve dedicated server bugs ?

[burnt burrow]

I've tried everything I can think of... but if I use your save file on the server, the client just fails to connect. I have no idea why.💀 💀

failed

[mild thunder]

to actually load the save, i ended up making a mega print of the map on SCIM, and re importing it, that allowed me to finally load the save on my server.

[burnt burrow]

It seems the CPU is not the root cause of the issue

[mild thunder]

There is already a post about the issue on the Q and A site.

I think exporting and reimporting might have blanked out the blueprint data, I didn't fully check

[deep turret]

it is a big upgrade

[deep turret]

you may want to add network meter to your htop

[deep turret]

also what is vbox user for ?

[fluid cypress]

So I figured it out with the help of Macie to use SCIM. Basically download the MEGAPRINT of the map clear the map of stuff after download. Repaste in MEGAPRINT and upload save. That fixed my issue for some reason

[summer ravine]

hey all, I have been trying everything and I have searched this discord back to the beginning. I just can't figure this issue out. I am running the server in a Debian OS with Proxmox. I am able to connect to the server with in my home network, however my brother can't. I am using PfSense, and I have added the following. Sadly I am not able to get a good port check with canyouseeme.org

[fluid cypress]

#dedicated-servers message

[fluid cypress]

Your also using old Ports check the wiki "Additional Port Configuration (As of Patch 1.1.0.0)
A new -ReliablePort= command-line parameter allows explicit port selection.
The value must be an integer between 0 and 65535.
If specified, the server will attempt to bind to this port and fail to initialize if the port is unavailable.

Also @summer ravine check to make sure you do not have to port forward in 2 places on your router. That is what I had to do for my model....

PM me if you need more help with this though :3

[summer ravine]

ya i saw that, but it still wasn't working, but I will try again after the two things you suggested

and thank you! I am still super new with Pfsense

[fluid cypress]

Also I would take that picture down and scrub it of your external IP address just in case

[summer ravine]

who knows, I might not have it fully setup right even though I am able to do just about anything

luckly, that was just internal LOL

[fluid cypress]

Good for you than. Just watching out for ya

[summer ravine]

🙂 thanks for watching out, much appericate it!

[fluid cypress]

Also make sure you have static ip setup for your server on the router. It matters just incase if some weirdness for leasing ips happen

[summer ravine]

ya i set the ip as static in proxmox

[mild thunder]

if you need help getting the configuration done in pfSense, i have helped configure that before.

[summer ravine]

thanks, I am trying to figure out LinuxGSM keeps the CLI so I can add the reliable LOL

[burnt burrow]

my mistake. I misremembered the specs of the 5800X

[ivory charm]

Hey im trying to setup a server by myself. Only i got a problemen i need some help with. When i launch the server on my local network i can join without a problem. But the moment I let a friend join or even me via a mobile hotspot I get stuck in the loading screen. I can see the person who is joined and i can hit things but the loading screen wil not go away. (Yes i forward 7777. And temperary disabled firewall on the server to test it)

its not my internet connection thats a fiber optic

wait i think port 8888 was the problem, chatgpt gived me 15000 and 15777 so i think the problem is there, i will come back on this

[ivory charm]

well it was port 8888

[ivory charm]

thanks to this post i fix it

[burnt burrow]

hahah

[winter torrent]

Hey guys.

TL;DR: Satisfactory Dedicated Server on Windows 11. The server is up and reachable both locally and remotely, but the in-game browser shows 5000 ms ping and no option to edit the server or join. The server was working a couple months ago (already was working on 1.1, but I booted it back up and it's not working anymore.

Environment
• OS: Windows 11 24H2
• Server: Satisfactory Dedicated Server (Steam), v1.1.0 / UE 5.3.2
• Launch Args: -Port=7777 -unattended -log

What I see in the server logs
• Server API listening on [::]:7777
• Server API is running using a Self-Signed Certificate. SHA256: GUfekD...
• ReliableMessaging: Server streaming socket bound to port 8888
• Repeated warnings:
• LogSocketsSSL: Warning: Failed to initialize SSL state for Socket HttpRequest
• LogHttpListener: Error: Error accepting expected connection [0] SE_NO_ERROR

In-game behavior
• Adding the server from the same PC: it shows Online, but with 5000 ms ping and initially no certificate prompt.
• After some time, and with no identifiable reason, I was prompted to confirm the certificate, and was given the option to join the server. The loading screen gets stuck, and the above errors pop up in the command prompt window again.
• After the errors pop back up, the behavior reverts and I see 5000 ms ping and no option to join the server.

What I've done
• Whitelisted everything through my firewall
• Updated networking drivers
• Ran windows update (none found)
• Made sure port forwarding was 7777 and 8888 UDP/TCP (for completeness I also set 8888 to TCP only)
• Tried other ports, and assigned them as args
• Forced my computer's local IP to be a manual value, and changed the IP in the port forwarding settings.
• Verified game and server files
• Full uninstall/reinstall of both the server and game.

[hidden forge]

1. which ip/hostname do yoiu use to locally connect? localhost/127.0.0.1, local ip or wan-ip?
2. which CPU is in use?
3. how high is the CPU usage?

[winter torrent]

1. I was using 127.0.0.1 without prefacing it with localhost/
2. 9800X3D
3. 35% usage while Satisfactory is running (before launching the server)

I did also try the wan-IP, but same behavior

[hidden forge]

if you use the loopback ip theres no network issue, so it's something to do with the server
can you check the latency from another pc in the network?

[winter torrent]

Latency is the same for every user who sees it in the server list. I don't have another PC easily accessible in my home that could try to connect, however I did have a friend try to connect (via the internet) and we both saw identical behavior. So I was on loopback, and he was online.

Sometimes it would start at 1,000 ping, then over the course of 10 seconds it would go up to 11,000 ping. Other times it would just stay pegged at 5000 ping.

[hidden forge]

does the latency stay the same when you close the game?

[winter torrent]

Do you mean for my friend? (As in, the game is closed on my host PC?) If so, then yes it stays the same.

[hidden forge]

is it a fresh save or did you upload an existing one?

[winter torrent]

So the server was up and running a couple months ago (maybe a month after 1.1 came out). It had a save file in there from that previous build.

However, we were OK deleting the level as a troubleshooting step; we weren't too far. Deleting it doesn't seem to have fixed it.

To clarify, in the game GUI, it won't even let me see server settings as admin. It just cycles between "server offline" and 5000 ping saying there are API errors.

[hidden forge]

how do you host the server? native or some kind of vm/container?

and does the latency start high when you restart the server?

[winter torrent]

OMG you actually just made me realize... the saved games are not in the dedicated server directory; they're in the appdata directory. I deleted the most recent save, and it's working now. Seems the autosave was corrupted and causing the whole server to be unresponsive.

[tired basalt]

can i join people for a bit?

[hidden forge]

#1201555265942724758

[stoic stream]

can you enable AGS., AFTER you start your Dedicated server?

nm figured it out lol

[mighty wing]

recently I updated my self hosted satsfactory server and now I have came to the conclusion that my save is not courrpted which is good but that mam and hub data are unsynced how do I fix this?

im getting an error where it seems like the client like fails to register in the server I think...

[snow peak]

anyone know how to manually force ded server to run with more than 4gb of ram, endless forums said nothing of use

i have at least 32 to dump on this thing and all it wants is 4, which is not working well

[deep turret]

it's not up to you to decide what amount of ram it needs, the important thing is it gets what it want to get, not being limited
unless you put a limit on it somehow (virtual machine, container configuration, hosting services, operating system), if it's not ram constrained then then the limitation is elsewhere

[outer parrot]

I have a server running on the default 7777 and 8888 ports using the Epic Games tool. Currently it is being run off the same PC as I play it on but I want to run a second server on another pc I have connected to the same network, from what I understand I need to change which ports the second needs to use if I want them both running at the same time however that's where I've gotten stuck and cant find where and what exactly I need to change to do that.

[hidden forge]

If its on a different system you don't have to change the ports.
Except if you want to make them available from the outside

[deep turret]

and even then it could use same ports locally

[outer parrot]

I do want to make it available from outside I have a friend that plays it as well and I want to test that the save we're working on can be swapped over and is working before stopping the original, I tried to use the same ports on the second server but it wouldnt even bring up a second server in the game when trying to load it

[hidden forge]

You need to use the local ip to connect, not your wan

[deep turret]

what address did you use to connect in server manager ?

I mean from what, what type, you don't need to give me exact address

[outer parrot]

I tried to use the external IP of the second pc

[hidden forge]

That won't work because the port forwarding still point towards your PC. Try using the local/internal ip of the second system

[outer parrot]

When I try setting the port forwarding in the router for the second pc it comes up with the error "This item conflicts with exsisted ones. Please try again" adding the server in the game using the local ip of the second pc does bring up a new server but comes up offline and not authenticated

[hidden forge]

Forget the port forwarding for now, not necessary for local connections

Is the second server claimed?

[outer parrot]

I intend for it to be used for external connections when set up, do you mean claimed as in through the server manager in the game?

[deep turret]

do you remember every step you have done to set it up on your pc ?
did you set firewall the same ?

[outer parrot]

Yes I went through the same guide I found on reddit, download tool, set up port fowarding rules for 7777 on tcp and UDP and 8888 TCP both in firewall and router

[deep turret]

for router you will need change things
it have to work locally first
so you didn't connect successfully yet locally to the second pc ?

[outer parrot]

no not locally, it is just coming up as offline

[deep turret]

then either it's the wrong local address of second pc
or the server is not running
or the firewall have a problem

[outer parrot]

just double checked again, firewall had it blocked, managed to get it up and running with the save loaded in

[deep turret]

now you can think about port forwarding
the most straightforward is changing the sever settings with -Port and -ReliablePort settings
you must also adapt the firewall ports accordingly

the other possible way is keeping it default locally
and forward from a different port
having different public and local port in your forwarding rules

[edgy pasture]

And remember, if you forward the reliable messaging port, you’ll probably get desyncs and CPU stuck at 100%.

If that happens, look at this

#dedicated-servers message

Main thing is to hope that Coffee Stain Studios fixes the network traffic problem that they introduced with 1.1.

The top pin on this channel says that they are working on it as of a couple of months ago.

I’m still playing fine with a VPN to the server… but that’s not for everyone.

[hidden forge]

@outer parrot if I understood you correctly you want to migrate to the new server fully right? Then if everything works just change the port forwarding rules to point to the new system and you are done

[snow peak]

i find it incredibly interesting that for video rendering to be allowed port 8888 has to be open, i tested by opening and closing it... open, game ran great, closed, game sticks on load screen but i can hear my environment and still interact with player options like vein scan, etc.
wild function

[compact kettle]

[deep turret]

I find it wild that for the game environment to load properly, it have to get the appropriate information through server connection

[snow peak]

Right?? but why use a port specifc to that function instead of the other 17 needed to run apparently

[deep turret]

because it is not using the same protocol, hence the name

it was using the single port before
but it kept having loading issues

now they could still make it go through the same port imo
but it would be more complicated to implement efficiently (having to manage multiple endpoint with performance in mind through a single port )

[rapid panther]

Hey all I use my save file to generate stats on my server (power consumption production etc) I'd love to have it update more frequently than every 5 minutes (my current autosave interval) I'm thinking of making it every minute. Has anyone done this in a rather large factory? Has it reduced performance?

[rapid panther]

I'm confused only port 8888 & 7777 are needed?

[snow peak]

idk some forum said i needed all kinds of them which i thought was odd but i was having enough trouble as it is to get it running so i just did it anyways, worst that happens is anything bad gets caught in pfsense before going to the firewall afterwards....

[rapid panther]

I think it has to do with unreal's way of handling state

[snow peak]

but im also running a mod for a webUI for factory stats so that had to be ported too

[rapid panther]

Nah it's 7777(UDP/TCP) 8888 (TCP)

[snow peak]

ive already got so much that anything that runs localhost has to be put on its own port, well ill do process of elimination later today, it was so finicky getting it up to begin with, out of all the servers, ai models, and games i host, this one gave me the biggest headache

partially user error on the modded aspect though

[rapid panther]

Yeah it's sad that 8888 isn't configurable however 7777 is fwiw

[snow peak]

yeah if you could actually chagne the ports the game uses without using lame steamCMD

[rapid panther]

Maybe both are and 7777 will instruct the client what 8888 is mapped to

[snow peak]

ive no idea, first time ive ever seen a game require a port to load in...i was able to scan ores, swing my blade, heard everything but all i got visually was a loading screen for infinity. so i turned on 8888 and suddenly it loads with no problem, off and on again to check.....im curious how they have it done, i plan to take the games code apart some time this week to find out

because render is always done client side

[rapid panther]

If you host externally every game requires port forwarding

[snow peak]

yes, 7dtd...one port, minecraft, one port, terraria, one port, ark, palworld, one port

satisfactory....2 ports?

[rapid panther]

It's how unreal internally handles networking of different types

[snow peak]

im just happy that they added the ability to instruct the server manager to understand domains and not just direct IP only

[snow peak]

leave it to EPIC to make things complicated, never doggin on the devs, fantastic game, absolute crack fuel for tism scratching.

[deep turret]

what do you mean by configurable ? you can change that port as well

[rapid panther]

UDP unfortunately has very little header info so you can't really do much outside of having different IPs to handle different traffic on the same port. You could use ipv6 to solve for this, but that gets more complicated

[snow peak]

and less stable

[rapid panther]

In the client you set 7777 I don't see how to tell a client to use non 8888 but it could be handled over 7777 I'm not sure and haven't tested

[deep turret]

17000 and 15777 was before release, experimental configuration
since release its only 7777 tcp+udp and then they added 8888 tcp

[rapid panther]

Ipv6 is super stable, just less supported in all things today, though it's rapidly getting adoption

[deep turret]

the server tell the client, you set the port you want on the server
it even have a way to tell different port if you are remapping them through nat

[snow peak]

ive had issues using ipv6 in the past, granted for different things and given what ive leaned about how this one operates it would make sense that its isolated to the containers i was using, just a bad taste still for me

[snow peak]

that would explain why i kept getting different info from research

[rapid panther]

Yup that's basically what I said in my first post 🙂

[snow peak]

how would one do that

is it just through the steamCMD or is there another way

[deep turret]

when you launch the server you give it argument
you select the port you want base port and reliable port, and optionally tells it it's remapped to a different port
it's all documented

@snow peak if you're comfortable in software there's a pretty great tool called pterodactyl(dot)io that has a ton of built in support for hosting games

I personally use kubernetes which gives me a ton of routing control but that's a ton of overkill for most (I happen to run a ton of other stuff so it's ends up being less work for me)

[karmic ocean]

I have a little problem, i have a self hosted server, it runs great, but about an hour ago i have been lagging when walking, running and jumping like crazy, restarting the server, client or hosts have done nothing. Is there a solution for this?

[lusty ermine]

Any Americans looking for a ***dedicated server ***fresh start dm me!!

[snow peak]

i run kubernetes on proxmox for a lot of stuff but my game servers i still need to combine into a nicer format, they are compartmented on their own drive but its a bunch of shortcuts and .bat files on my desktop 🙄

i run like 12 different game servers on top of all the other.....fun stuff

[digital kayak]

Im sure its been answered already but i looked in pin messages and cant find anything about it. Anyways..
We can see my server that is set up. Its on port 8888. But i get stuck at the loading screen. I get Error no area found please investigate.

[wicked knot]

the default main port is still 7777 TCP and UDP. 8888 TCP is an additional port you need to allow thru the router/firewall, and the server will communicate it to the clients

[digital kayak]

Ok ill set it back to 7777 and see what happens.

[hidden forge]

You changed the base port to 8888?
Infinite loading screen means something is blocking the secondary port, in your case that should be port 8889/tcp now

[digital kayak]

Ok so I changed it back to 7777 and ya same thing. So you saying I need to add another port? Should I make it 7778 or 8889?

[wicked knot]

If you havent changed the ports it uses by launch argument, then it uses 7777 to connect, and 8888 TCP for reliable data

if you did change those port, then it uses the ports you designated

[digital kayak]

Man I miss the good old days when this stuff was not complicated. Ok ill try and figure out what you mean

[wicked knot]

#patch-notes message

[digital kayak]

Well shoot. I really dont understand any of that.
Ok so if you were setting up just one server for your son and you what port or ports would you open 8888 or 7777?

[hidden forge]

Defaults are:
7777/UDP
7777/TCP
8888/TCP

[digital kayak]

Ok and under my server comfig. I put 7777?

[hidden forge]

You tell the client when adding the server the base port (7777), the server then tells the client the reliable port (8888)

[digital kayak]

Ok i think im understanding. I will make these changes now and pray.

Thank you very much Xeet. It worked. I really appreciate it

Are hypertube junctions a bit buggy on servers? I dont have a save far enough solo to verify what I'm seeing, but maybe half the time I approach a junction the rings highlighting the direction appear, but the direction switch UI doesn't and no user input changes the direction

Hello, is there any news about the cpu usage when you sport scan the server ?

[small citrus]

I have an update for dedicated servers : i was using a VPS for a year, i needed a lot of scheduled restarts/optimizations to make it run smoothly. Now i dropped the VPS and installed a machine at my house, now that it runs without virtualization i have **NO MORE PROBLEMS/LAGS/DESYCNS ** not a single problem in 2 weeks uptime

So virtualization seems to be the big no no for satisfactory dedicated servers...

[desert plover]

Or your VPS was just too bad

It depend on a lot of things

I run Satisfactory server in a docker without any issue, everything is smooth

But your issue was surely because of port scan in the IP range of the VPS hoster

And Satisfactory servers have a big issue that cause very high CPU usage when you scan the reliable port

So if someone was scanning all the ports of the IP, it can explain the lag

[small citrus]

No no don't worry i changed every port, had a premium plan on hostinger, managed it myself cpu usage was fine before 4h uptime.

Now my home's server is getting scan everytime by russians ips and still no lag

i would love to prove that vCPUs are the big problem

(And ofc i used wolveix docker image)

[burnt saffron]

you can add a port scanner with ban list and block anyone attempting to port scan based on some rules

works for me

running satisfactory server in a docker container on my server

[mild thunder]

I run it in docker on physical machine and had the cpu usage issue.

[burnt burrow]

A poor VPS provider can lead to significant resource contention, which indeed results in reduced stability.

[heavy oxide]

Hey folks. Im running a server for me and a friend hosted with GTX and for some reason im constantly desyncing with the server but my friend is not having those issues. Anyone experienced this? Its super frustrating having to relog in order to cut trees or place foundations.

[tiny onyx]

oh yeah im having tons of the same issues

[tiny onyx]

i actually came here specifically to ask about this

[heavy oxide]

@tiny onyx GTX as well?

I'm struggling.

[edgy pasture]

Yeah... the networking over the internet has been essentially broken since 1.1 hit experimental. The problem has persisted into the current version... and the top pin in this channel is the indication that they are working on it. Tons of duplicate posts on the QA site about it, and tons of discussion about it in this channel.

[wet elbow]

Changing the port doesnt prevent it from being scanned. Anyone can scan any and all ports, its kind of what port scanners do

[wet elbow]

What are the specs of your server?
Have you tried IP whitelisting only the users that will be joining, in order to prevent port scanners from spiking your CPU usage?

[tiny onyx]

nah idk actaully i think my friend is running it on his NAS

[velvet badge]

IDK whats being asked here

[daring stratus]

kinda off topic but what are your folks' views on "auto pause" for servers? do you have it on or off? our group is debating about this, and i'm in for leaving it off, because a factory runs even when no one is watching, but some feel its a bit cheaty because you can just let it run over night and have huge stuff of material the next day
but then again, all of us are working and having a bit of a boost when logging in with materials really shaves off the feel of needing to be online all the time so things run

[viscid light]

I just purchased a server from Nitrado. Server isn't updating. When I complete a task, or research in MAM, cut down trees, or even build, the server isn't updating visually, but if I log out and back in, it's fixed.

I've reinstalled the server, they've changed IP's. It's impacted both people playing.

Any ideas?

[viscid light]

I leave mine running once it's automated. It's not cheating. Who would you be cheating anyways?

[daring stratus]

sounds like standard desync issue

its for foundations, research, and blueprints

log out, log back in, its all there

its basically your client not being updated from the server

[viscid light]

ya..exactly how it happens

[daring stratus]

its a known bug for dedicated servers

[viscid light]

I bumped network quality to Ultra.doesn't make a difference..

well damn..I don't recall it happening in the past

[daring stratus]

i think (not sure tho) its new in 1.1 or maybe 1.0

[viscid light]

Studio still on Vacation? hopefully it's a priority to get fixed

[daring stratus]

see here as well #dedicated-servers message

[daring stratus]

maybe cheating is too strong, more like "not how its intended"

[viscid light]

No different than leaving your PC running unattended to allow materials to build up. I'm sure everybody has done that in Single player mode.

[viscid light]

doesn't appear to be a working work around aside from logout/login

[daring stratus]

yep i found that too

you get used to it, and recognize the patterns when it happens

i also hope they fix this soon, its really the only issue i have in the game at all

[viscid light]

lol we went for years with experimental dedicated servers that we did all sorts of stuff with...I don't ever recall desync being an issue.

[west plinth]

are hypertube junctions/branches not always allowing you to choose direction and requiring you to pass through it once and backtrack to use them a server/multiplayer issue? Has there been any comms around it?

[hallow nebula]

Hi everyone, hope u have a great day.
I'm currently trying to setup a server on my linux debian 12 server. However I'm restricted to the port range (30.000 -> 30.100)
I run the server listening on Port=30.006 tcp&udp, and ReliablePort=30.007 tcp
In the logs this also shows up, listening on the socket 0.0.0.0:30006, so everything seems correct.
When I access https://<public_ip>:30.006 I also get the desired error code with the http_epic_handler smth...
The ports are definetely correctly openend in ufw and I also checked them from another machine and they are open.

Now when I enter Satisfactory it doesn't even try to load, the server instantly appears as "name pending" and "unauthorized".

I really don't know what's wrong, if anybody has ever experienced a similar or noticed a mistake within my setup, I'd greatly appreciate any input.

Sorry for the long text 🙂

[wicked knot]

First authenticated user that logs in to the server gets to name it, and set the admin password

[hallow nebula]

That's the issue, I never even got to the point where I could name it. Whenever I sucessfully start it, I'm not able to connect to it via Satisfactory it shows as offline.

[wicked knot]

It cant be "offline" and also "name pending"

[hallow nebula]

Yeah, it's weird... haha idk what's going on. I can send a screenshot later, but it says offline and in bold text name pending. Hahaha

Like this

[hidden forge]

If the http access loads but Server shows as offline, check your UDP settings. Also try claiming it first with the internal IP instead of you WAN ip

[karmic ocean]

It is a Windows VM that runs the Server 8 Cores of Xeon 2.93 Ghz and 40 GB of RAM, so i think that shoudnt be an issue. Its connected with 1G Down and 200Mbit Upload

[wet elbow]

2.93GHz makes it sound like an ancient CPU.
Your information is about as good as "Its a yellow car with a topspeed of 100 miles per hour", sure, but how old is it? How fast does it get there? Exact model would be much better, for all i know it could be DDR2 memory 😛

[karmic ocean]

No, its an old HPE DL380 Gen7 with DDR3 Memory, i only have this problem sometime, my friend who is playing with me doesnt have that struggle

[wet elbow]

Have you tried IP whitelisting only the users that will be joining, in order to prevent port scanners from spiking your CPU usage?

[karmic ocean]

Yes, i have

[wet elbow]

I assume it did not help?

[karmic ocean]

No, sadly it didnt. The issue is only on my side. But i dont know why

[wet elbow]

Thats odd

[karmic ocean]

My PC Specs shoudnt be an issue neither. Im running a 5800X and a RTX3090 with 32GB of RAM. When i play this world solo this isnt an issue at all

[wet elbow]

Wild guess: is your lan cable correctly plugged in and working correctly?

[karmic ocean]

Yeah 2,5 Gigs and any other game works fine

[meager crow]

Hi people! Been getting tick rate as low as 8 with an i9-10850K and 32GB ram.
Any suggestions on getting it back on track? (server for 2 players, reached tier 8)

[fossil moon]

what's the RAM clock at?

[meager crow]

3200

[fossil moon]

probably not much that you can do then other than OC more or buy faster cpu

[meager crow]

But the server is single threaded right?

The cpu does not even reach 50% usage

On any of the cores

[fossil moon]

It's not ST, and the per-core utilisation readings in windows have been useless since windows 8 when they changed the scheduler to bounce the same threads around multiple cores really quickly

CPU has 20 threads, so if it's over 5% CPU load on the process then it can be CPU limited - that's all you can really take from it

the game sim becomes heavily memory limited in later game too, so CPU's with more cache and/or faster memory do a lot better. That CPU has 20MB of L3. If you look at CPU's with more, going from 32MB to 96MB on zen3/4/5 gives around +50% performance just from that alone for example

[burnt burrow]

The server uses multiple cores, but heavily favors high single-core performance.

[fossil moon]

you can also approach the problem from the other side and build in your world in a way which is much easier to run faster on the CPU, but people don't tend to like doing that

biggest thing there is sticking to as few game objects as possible

[meager crow]

I've tried running the server on a ryzen 5 5600 too, which has 32mb L3, but the tick rate was worse

[elfin void]

Is there a list of dedicated servers on this discord anywhere?

[desert plover]

Hey, is there any news about the CPU usage issue when port scanning the reliable port ?

[wet elbow]

Throwing money at it won't fix your problem, you may see a slightly better performance, but not fixed.

[meager crow]

I also have this issue where sometimes I can't load into the server, my client joins but I'm stuck in an infinite loading screen.

I'm starting to blame the save

[upbeat nexus]

Hey, i'm running a dedicated server on a Ubuntu 22 LXC. I port forwarded internal:7777 -> external:24120. Every time a player tries to connect to the server they get stuck in a unlimited Loadingscreen.... How is this fixed?

[wet elbow]

Im pretty sure the docs says specifically to not forward like youre doing, that the internal and external ports must match

[upbeat nexus]

💔

7777 and 8888 are already used in my Network this is pretty unconvenient from the devs

Thanks tho

[hidden forge]

7777 can be remapped quite easily, for the secondary port 8888 you must inform the server about the remapping as the server tells the client the port

Either change the secondary port entirely with "-ReliablePort=XXXX" or inform the server about the difference with "-ExternalReliablePort=YYYY", where YYYY is the external port that is mapped to to internal port XXXX

[strong river]

is there a list containing active servers?

[wet elbow]

You should be able to use any port with startup flags

[upbeat nexus]

.I did, but im still stuck with in the unlimited loadingscreen, i hear the music and constructors etc in the background but just wont spawn in..

[upbeat nexus]

Thats what i did :(

[wet elbow]

Did you make sure to do it for both ports?

[upbeat nexus]

Yes, if youd like i could send you my opnsense config via dms

[wet elbow]

Like, 7777 and 8888 should be changed to something like 26789 and 27899

[upbeat nexus]

24120 & 24121

[wet elbow]

The docs specify that for some reason, they recommend having a distance of 100 between the ports

[upbeat nexus]

huh 😂

[wet elbow]

Idek man, just preaching what's been told/documented. Sounds dum as hell to me too

[upbeat nexus]

It was so much easier before 1.0

[upbeat nexus]

I will try it, and lyk if this is the problem i will freak out

[wet elbow]

I don't think it fixes it, if it does I'll wear my socks inside out

[upbeat nexus]

okay so, 7777 is forwarded to 24120 now and 8888 is forwarded to 24220 now. i will cry

[upbeat nexus]

Im starting with this cmd ./FactoryServer.sh -Port=7777 -ReliablePort=8888

Okay keep the socks on the right way lol

Still doesnt work

[wet elbow]

brother you were fed this glorious piece of information and just ignored it 🙁

[upbeat nexus]

This is my opnsense config, now it just doesnt even wanna show the server management panel anymore smh

nvm

[wet elbow]

Can you provide a better screenshot so we can see what the values mean?
What is your new startup config?

[upbeat nexus]

./FactoryServer.sh -Port=24120 -ReliablePort=24220,

I can only do it like this, otherwise i would leak my clients ip's

[wet elbow]

Youre still ignoring this vital piece of information.....

[upbeat nexus]

I used it tho didnt i ? 😭

[wet elbow]

Read it all, dont stop halfway

[upbeat nexus]

Yes but now internal and external is the same port, or am i just dumb?

[wet elbow]

I kindly ask you to do minimal image editing to make it easier for others to help you. Its not hard to align 2 screenshots in paint in the future 😉

[wet elbow]

Youre right, im dumb 🤦

I forgot the original issue. Is it only you who cannot connect, or is it everyone?

[upbeat nexus]

Im sorry, i couldve done that yes. BUT NOW ITS WORKING HOLY SHIT

MAN

[wet elbow]

NICE

[upbeat nexus]
