Hey, just tried to set up a server, i downloaded the tool and it gave me a command prompt. It loaded a bunch of stuff. How do I get to the actual server? All the tutorials mention steamcmd, none of them use the dedicated server tool.
it says the server is online but i cant figure out the address name

So both desync and high CPU usage had same root cause, from the new reliablemess...
what was the thing that caused the problem? im curious hahah
whole meadow
My understanding of the problem is that we were allowing "Unwanted" connections to connect to the server (if the server is exposed to internet for external IPs to connect) leading the CPU usage to go up and causing desyncs for legitmate game clients that is connected to the server.
So you will not see this issue if you have hosted the server locally in your network and the game client is connected to it.
tribal lantern
well my server (same network) did start rubberbanding and placing ghost buildings. is that a different issue?
whole meadow
which buildings?
tribal lantern
foundations, beams
stuff like that mostly
also machines iirc
you'd just see the holograms and after rejoining it would be placed
whole meadow
So the reliablemessaging protocol is used by lightweight buildables - Like foundations, architectual pieces and schematics like HUB milestones and space elevator objectives and foliage system. So if the desync happens you would see the effect on these three gameplay features.
This should not affect placing belts,pipes, railway, vehicle or factory building.
tribal lantern
ah okay. well lets hope the next patch fixes it for everybody lol
any news on how soon soon might be?

When the patch is out, please feel free to either DM me or ping me here anytime if we have broken anyone's setup. We have only two kinds of setup in-house and testing all setups is almost impossible š .

Thank you for this update.
Iāll stop posting this after the fix gets released. š
I use the Linux one with no problemā¦ in a docker containerā¦ on a windows machine that is 14+ years old.
I donāt have the reliable messaging port open to the internet.
Iām using VPN tunnels between the server and clients to keep unwanted traffic from causing lightweight buildable desync and runaway 100% CPU usage.
Once more... in case someone is about to ask about it again.
#dedicated-servers message
edgy pasture
Has everything to do with unwanted traffic.
I just avoid it by not forwarding my ports from my server to the internet.
Without the unwanted trafficā¦ the Linux dedicated server works fine.
It needs a better name.
I personally like ā(un)reliable messaging port issueā
Hm.
I hope theyāve taken a good look at how the game handles network stuff, since itās been pretty broken since April when they made the changes for 1.1
That is an interesting idea.
Makes me wonder how theyāre testing this stuff.
š yeahā¦ the answer is they are using the main playerbase for testing.
The whole āexperimentalā branch is, in theory, for fixing this kind of thing, but it did an epic fail on the multiplayer networking side this time around. They just passed it on through to stable.
Yep. Hope theyāve enjoyed it, so they can get around to fixing the broken network implementationā¦ months later.
hidden forge
Depends on the VPN and its settings. Preferred choice is UDP for VPN packets because you don't want two layers of TCP handling packet loss.
Data corruption on localhost sounds like a driver problem imo
Or you have the old case of the server closing ports when somebody playing on the same machine disconnects
glad summit
Iām not sure if anyone else has run into these issues or if this has been discussed yet, but I can say with 100% certainty that a fair amount of my issues are due to using cloudflare DNS.
With an A record pointing directly to my dedicated serverās public IP and non-default ports, I get frequent crashes, ghost build mode, and invisible belts.
After disabling the a record and a public IP change, pointing directly at the public IP on the same non-default ports has resolved 90% of my dedicated server stability, the rest I am currently chalking up to mods.
hidden forge
Iām not sure if anyone else has run into these issues or if this has been discus...
not necessarily caused by cloudflare DNS but just by DNS in general
DNS is public direcory, scanners just poll all DNS records and then scan them
non-game traffic causes issues in 1.1 leading to said problems
glad summit
I see. So still tied to the reliability port issue, just easier to scan when using dns?

port 8888 forwarded, in/outbound in firewall,
IP is accurate
yet i can't ping it
why would it be blocked

ping is ICMP, not ports
and do not restrict the source/outgoing ports to 7777/8888

An experiment you can try for making sure it is the firewall causing the issue, If itās all local:
kill your internet connection (for safety)
Drop the firewall
See if it works. (Ping and even playing on the server)
If it does, itās the firewall.
hidden forge
remove them, not required

Youre saying remove the rules I put in place, which the wiki states I need in place?
hidden forge
the outbound, yes

then disable the firewall and test again

Xeet are you talking about windows firewall? or router firewall?
Cheeze is referring to router i think, and I want to be clear.
edgy pasture
Windows

edgy pasture
If itās all local, the router firewall probably isnāt a factor
hidden forge
why should i refer to the routers firewall when we are talking about a local connection not even involving it?
storm cloak
i suppose I misunderstood why disabling my internet would be needed when the router still has it's own firewall

mild thunder
when you created the firewall rules, under advanced, make sure they are applied to all 3 profiles, if ever needed outside the local network, then you need to also allow edge traversal. have you restarted the server software at least once, i have seen on windows that the first time it launches that it doesn't always work. also when trying to connect from the client, are you adding the server each time, i have seen if you are trying to use a previous one, it might not work.

mild thunder
Can we configure server manager to connect to a URL instead of a straight up IP?...
yes, you can use an url
edgy pasture
If this
is true, it might be a better workaround to the (un)reliable messaging port issue than going full vpn tunnel.
I havenāt tested itā¦ but at the docker compose level, it would be as simple as adding this to the compose file:
networks:
backend:
driver: bridge
driver_opts:
com.docker.network.driver.mtu: 1350
Lowering the MTU elsewhere for other platforms/hosting setups should be pretty easy too.
I think maybe it wouldnāt require any changes on the client side, for those that have clients that are scared/incapable of messing with stuff.

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble hosting a dedicated server and was hoping someone here could help. When I connect to my server using an internal IP, everything is fine. When I try to connect to my server using an external IP, I get the 'fail to connect to the server API' error. I am hosting on Windows. Windows Defender firewall is currently turned off, but there are both inbound and outbound rules for the dedicated server application using any port, any protocol. My internet router has 2 'Services' under NAT/Gaming, one for port 7777 TCP/UDP and one for 8888 TCP/UDP, both pointing the computer that the dedicated server is running on. I'm sure I have something misconfigured, but I'm not sure what. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply! I restarted my router. I checked my public IP, and the one that I am trying to use is the correct IP. I'm not sure how to check the 'rebound' traffic (NAT loopback?) without hosting something locally (such as a web server) and then trying to access it via the public IP. I have hosted several other dedicated servers for games without issue, so unless this is something unusual that Satisfaction requires, I would think that this is fine. Maybe other games auto convert a public IP to local IP when it determines your client is looping back, and that's why I've never seen this before, idk. A friend of mine tried to connect from his house and said that he got an infinite loading screen, so a different error than I am getting. Thanks again for the reply, I'll keep Googling for a solution.
cyan heath
Looks like port 8888 was the issue, that and not being able to loopback. If I connect with my client using a local IP, everything is fine, but I cannot use my global IP. My friend can now connect from his house using my global IP. I guess the error he was receiving earlier when connecting (infinite loading screen) was from before I forwarded port 8888, and we didn't retest his connection after I forwarded 8888. I still can't connect to my server (which is on the same machine as my client) using the global IP, but that might be some type of loopback issue with my router or ISP. So we're up and running.

Why would 2 people playing on the same server, all of a sudden have a player not be able to join anymore?
if player 1 and 2 disconnect, and player 1 joins, it works but if player 2 joins, player one sees everything slowly popping in right in front of them.
if player 2 is in already and player 1 joins, playeer 1 isn't able to connect at all......
This just started all of a sudden, I'm player 1, I'm legit sitting next to the server, i tried connecting direct to the IP, doesn't help.
I tried my WAN IP (I normally use my domain name), doesn't work, my friend is in the UK (i'm in the US) and she's connected just fine to my server, legit able to reach out and touch it right now......
I've tried changing ports, idk, what else to check.....
I've forwared UDP/TCP 7777 and TCP 8888 but... it was all working just fine legit 30ish minute ago.....

maybe your router got confused
if you are in the same network as your server, use the local ip to connect (but check that it didn't change)

Hey all! Im new to the game and am running a dedicated server, today I logged in to find a Version mismatch error, from a quick google search it seems I need to run a command in order to update my server to match the recent patch. Is it as simple as running the steamcmd.exe again? I don't want to accidentally mess up my world save š
Edit: after looking around online I tried running steamCMD and using the app_update 1690800 command. it took its time and updated but im still seeing the error and now when I try to update the game it says the app is already up to date

created new world, and placed down a power pole and removed it a few times, will see if cpu goes sky high again

Nope, but I know its a steamcmd issue that it does not switch back to default if you have used -beta. Maybe someone here might know an easy workaround instead of a full reinstall.

no I cannot,
drifting hatch
Backup the saves on the server then?
upbeat fern
Do you know where thats located/ what the saves are named because it isnt intuitive. theres no indication of what folder is containing saves from what I can see unless Im missing something.
drifting hatch
I'm using a docker container, not sure where yours are, possibly in the same directory as where you run the server but that is just a guess
drifting hatch
I think the main two directories you want to backup are called "backup" and "saved"
saved contains two subdirectories - "blueprints" and "server" (which contains all of my saves)
You want to ensure you back all of this up to be safe
upbeat fern
there is no backup folder contained within SteamCMD or Satisfactory folders and the only "saved" folders contain Config for server stuff and manifest files
drifting hatch
What's in "saved" ?
the "backup" folder I have might be specific to the docker image I am using
It seems to basically contain a copy of all the .sav files in saved/server
whole meadow
~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server/
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/642169a05298eb579df0db11
I do not think they are stored in installation directory.
drifting hatch
I've never run it directly using SteamCMD so that was purely a guess š
upbeat fern
That doesnt really apply to my situation, the link is for running a server on Ubuntu and the filepath is for epic games. If what your saying is that saves are stored locally on my machine, and not dependant on the installation folder for the dedicated server, then that would mean I can reinstall without losing my save, is that correct?
upbeat fern
I made no indication that wasnt the case
whole meadow
it is assumed that most of the servers run on linux unless specified
drifting hatch
Yea same lolz
upbeat fern
it is assumed that most of the servers run on linux unless specified
Its also generally assumed that when someone is installing a server with SteamCMD they are using steam but that went over your head so
drifting hatch
SteamCMD is available on Linux too š
upbeat fern
did I imply that wasnt the case?
drifting hatch
No it was my bad for making the assumption š
upbeat fern
I can appreciate the help from you two but its turned into something frustrating and sarchastic and not helpful at all truthfully. If you dont know how to solve my problem or where to find server saves or how to actually update my server im not sure why its funny to laugh at my situation. It sucks enough to potentially lose several days of progress over a boombox update.
drifting hatch
I assure you that isn't the intention, I'm searching google now
On Windows, Satisfactory server save files are located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames. To access this directory, you can press the Windows key + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%, and navigate to \FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames. The server saves are stored in subfolders, often named with a numerical ID, within the SaveGames folder
upbeat fern
What ive found is from 4 years ago and the solutions there "app_update 1690800 validate", adding the -beta experimental" tag and running multiple times didnt really help
drifting hatch
I'd probably firstly make sure the save files are actually within a subfolder there, take a copy of them to be safe, and then if you reinstall clean the server it should retain the saves as you mentioned they are not in the same location as the server itself, and hopefully it will pick them up again
But definitely make sure they are there, and you have a full backup of them all

steamCMD isnt working properly thats the issue
drifting hatch
Yea Steam offering new update
fleet sable
For anyone having issues: I just reinstalled the server (on windows) after backing up saves %LOCALAPPDATA%. I deleted the folder for my server and reinstalled using steamcmd. Upon opening my game and going to the server manager it is no longer showing a mismatch. It seems like you need to fresh install the server istead of relying on steamcmd to update it for now
upbeat fern
Yup just tested it too this is the way^
left owl
Yes, a new install didn't help either.
drifting hatch
Right client and server on 432215 now xD
It picked up your saves okay @upbeat fern ?

See what Grizzly wrote just above maybe

i just got to the most recent lol i will try that

errant sorrel
what is "apt" used for?
drifting hatch
Debian/Ubuntu package manager
errant sorrel
lol yep duh, i am trying from a windows, my epic server says its up-to-date, but my game on my laptop says its not my Laptop is at 432215 says my server is at 424353
drifting hatch
I think you just need to backup your saves, and then reinstall the server to get the latest version
That seems to be what these guys have done
vivid parrot
probably stupid but a fresh install of a server gets stuck on that what can i do to fix it
drifting hatch
Server ready?
vivid parrot
?
drifting hatch
i.e. loaded and ready for connections?
drifting hatch
I'll see if I can find what mine says
vivid parrot
there is no firewall in between me and the server
mortal silo
Any word from the Devs when the update will be on Steamcmd?
I didnt really want to back up and reinstall
drifting hatch
i mean i dont see it on the client side
I get those additional lines after, accepting connection
That might have just been me connecting the client tho
It seems like yours has loaded up to the point where it's ready
vivid parrot
hmmmm. wait where do you set the port? except setting it in the launch variables?
is there a file with ports too
cause that might be it
drifting hatch
On the commandline I think
-Port=7777 -ReliablePort=8888 -ExternalReliablePort=8888
Those are the defaults I believe
vivid parrot
im lanunching it with ./FactoryServer.sh -multihome=192.168.88.28 -port=1111 -log -unattended
And other servers work
vivid parrot
```-Port=7777 -ReliablePort=8888 -ExternalReliablePort=8888```
Those are the def...
wasnt -ReliablePort and ExternalReliablePort discontinued?
drifting hatch
Someone mentioned about multihome fixing connectivity
My docker image adds:
-multihome=::
On the end
vivid parrot
hmm
drifting hatch
Not sure, I'm using a docker image that auto-updates, configuration is specified in the docker-compose file, I haven't really touched the inner config
vivid parrot
hm no i checked and i aint getting a connection on the deafult port too
drifting hatch
I can paste the entire command that it uses if you like xD
vivid parrot
i would be thankfull maybye it can clear something up
drifting hatch
/bin/sh ./FactoryServer.sh -Port=7777 -ReliablePort=8888 -ExternalReliablePort=8888 -ini:Engine:[/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSession]:mNumRotatingAutosaves=5 -ini:Engine:[/Script/Engine.GarbageCollectionSettings]:gc.MaxObjectsInEditor=2162688 -ini:Engine:[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]:LanServerMaxTickRate=30 -ini:Engine:[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]:NetServerMaxTickRate=30 -ini:Engine:[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]:ConnectionTimeout=30 -ini:Engine:[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]:InitialConnectTimeout=30 -ini:Engine:[ConsoleVariables]:wp.Runtime.EnableServerStreaming=1 -ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:ConnectionTimeout=30 -ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:InitialConnectTimeout=30 -ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8 -ini:GameUserSettings:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8 -multihome=::
vivid parrot
cause later when i launch it first i will put it into an anticrash script anyway
jesus christ
drifting hatch
xD
vivid parrot
hm wel fuck. cuz if i take the fact that i use deafults on everything except the damn port there is no place to fail here
wait a fucking second i might have been premium stupid
drifting hatch
It's basically just setting stuff like TickRate, Timeout, MaxPlayers, etc
If not try slapping that -multihome=:: on the end
vivid parrot
fucking hell my bad im gonna crucify myself
its a new port and i forgot to ufw allow the damn port
drifting hatch
Ah ha, bingo
vivid parrot
thank you for your tries in trying to educate my dumb ass :D
drifting hatch
All good, easily done, kind of mistake I usually make XD
vivid parrot
now that i think about it went into forge mc support server with the same damn issue two months back xd
eh thank got i am not an IT guy

Hmmmmm when I loaded up the new update my saves and blueprints didn't get recongized by the new Linux FactoryServer.sh location.
drifting hatch
They in:
~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server/
?
fluid cypress
~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server yes
drifting hatch
Running the server as the same user?
fluid cypress
yes
drifting hatch
Log time I guess xD
fluid cypress
but the new FactoryServer.sh should be seeing them correct?
drifting hatch
I assume so, I use a dockerized version so not 100% sure how it works outside of docker but that would be my assumption
FactoryServer.sh is just a wrapper script but I would expect the server itself uses the standard location, but I am usually wrong
Hmm, first mention in mine is just it loaded the last autosave
LogServer: Display: Loading most recent SaveGame 'DesertRockCorp_autosave_0' from auto-load Session 'DesertRockCorp'
Is there a GameUserSettings.ini
fluid cypress
Yeah I just peaked in there and GameUserSetting.ini and Game.ini and Engine.ini couldnt find the correct one. When I looked at log shows that it see the most recent SaveGame
[2025.09.02-20.02.07:720][ 0]LogServer: Display: Loading most recent SaveGame 'Yute Maggot_autosave_1' from auto-load Session 'Yute Maggot'

drifting hatch
But it not loaded it?
I get the same message
LogGame: Warning: Failed to preload package '/Game/FactoryGame/World/Benefit/DropPod/BP_DropPodSettings'. Assets inside of this package will not be pre-loaded
It seems like it has loaded it
Does it get as far as
LogSave: Display: ========= [] NO LOAD ERRORS FOUND =D =========
fluid cypress
Yes
drifting hatch
And the client can connect? or some other issue
fluid cypress
Possibly maybe had something to do I didnt try restarting my client after I updated the server which caused continueity issues
drifting hatch
or downloading perhaps
Could be that although normally it would throw up a version discrepancy message
Either way it's working now so all is good š
fluid cypress
Just do not like sometimes my autosaves do not work have to roll back the game a bit -.-
drifting hatch
Autosaves on the server-side?
fluid cypress
Correct
drifting hatch
In what way do they not work?
fluid cypress
Rolls back ages ago to like a crash point and the server had auto saved from that point. Then when the server comes back up if you didnt manually save after the couple of hours it rolls back to that point.
drifting hatch
Hmm, should do them every 5 mins I thought by default
fluid cypress
I do mine every 10 minutes
drifting hatch
My instance adds:
-ini:Engine:[/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSession]:mNumRotatingAutosaves=5
Maybe could try that
fluid cypress
Unfortiantly I have lost about 6 to 7 hours of progress
fluid cypress
No the recent ones that I have are when I last manually saved at 10:51 am yesterday. I was playing until like midnight this morning and all the auto saves are of that manual save
pretty depressing
fluid cypress
This is the 6th or 7th time this has happened to me and my dad
drifting hatch
Do you get the Autosave in 10... notifications?
fluid cypress
yes
drifting hatch
That's really weird that they would be a copy of the last manual save, I have no idea why that would be happening :/
fluid cypress
Yeah and the worst part about it the last save that I have I fixed in it in the Tools Map to fix random elevators in the sky. Well it cause a issue with the power. Now the power wont go on becuase I am in a 15GWh deficit
drifting hatch
Nightmare
fluid cypress
Yes yes it is and I have refix the power grid all over again -.-
drifting hatch
That would really depress me too
Urgh
How many autosaves does it rotate by default?
fluid cypress
I have 4 auto saves on rotation
drifting hatch
Do they have a newer date/time on them?
drifting hatch
autosave_2 which was 10 mins before autosave_1 has a lot more hours (545h versus 520h), that seems a bit weird too?
Tried loading autosave_2 ? That seems to have the most hours
fluid cypress
cause when I loaded up the CALCULATOR one when I left the server it autosaved it from disconnecting
up I am in it right now same exact point as yesterday
drifting hatch
Weird AF, I dunno what is going on there
fluid cypress
No one has been able to figure it out either. The only thing I can do is manually save the same occasionally. But like last night I forgot to do that when I was tired and yup the rest is history
drifting hatch
Yea regular manual saving but it really shouldn't be behaving that way I am fairly sure
You could set the server to run 24/7 maybe that will cover a forgotten save
Does mean it's always running even if you are logged off tho, personal preference
fluid cypress
I run my system 24/7
drifting hatch
It's in the Server Manager / Settings from memory
Mine does an auto restart every 24 hours around 1am, not sure again if that is this docker image configuration, or by default, but again that could risk losing a save if the problem persists
fluid cypress
yeah I have my computer restart at 0300 in the morning as well
drifting hatch
Did you try out of interest downloading that autosave_2 and loading it locally?
fluid cypress
Yeah I it loaded right now. I do not recogize what point its at
drifting hatch
And if you want the server to run it you can load it on the server instead
Hmm, it's the one I saw with the most play hours
fluid cypress
That one is wrong too
drifting hatch
Strange
fluid cypress
Yeah that one is wierd in a way cause my power figure it all wrong so either so a big part of manufactering is missing I think with that autosave_2
drifting hatch
Might be worth a #1038092680493801533 if nobody else here knows

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help direct me to resolve my dedicated server mismatch?
I went to steamcmd, login anonymouse app_update 1690800 validate numerous times but continued to get the mismatch
Only just joined the server from clicking on links I found on reddit lol
fluid cypress
make sure your server isnt running that was my problem
update steamcmd first though
agile sierra
How do you update steamcmd?
fluid cypress
sudo add-apt-repository multiverse; sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386; sudo apt update

make sure it isnt running in top
also you can use this as well to make sure it isnt running sudo systemctl stop satisfactory

setting up a dedicated server right now. ive done all the port forwarding stuff and it launcheds fine. how do i join onto it?

you'll probably fine. But did you follow the wiki steps or some random youtuber?
I ask that because we don't know what you have tried so far.

i never did that and i think thats the issue
like in the server files

flint owl
ok

You join and manage your game always through Server Manager, not the "Continue" <-- that will load a local game

Does it appear when you add localhost ?
Then you do initial setup, password, starting location, etc

Windows Firewall
Maybe wiki covers it, you need to open 7777 udp and tcp, and 8888 tcp

wicked knot
i allowed it on firewall and on my att port forwarding
Is your IP the same in the router, as if you ask google "my IP"?
drifting hatch
If you open Command Prompt, type ipconfig
IPv4 Address
You need to forward those 3 things to that IP address on your router
wicked knot
Thats gonna give a 192.168
wicked knot
My router is assigned an IP in the 100.x.x.x range, and my public IP is in the 136.x.x.x range, so i cant host, unless I ask my ISP to let me

you can try IPv6 in this case

sadly, also not an option

to connect to the server? no, just enter it when adding the server
to host? just pass "-multihost=::"
wicked knot
the server ports get set launch args, but you have the defaults
flint owl
so when i enter in my ip it doesnt show up. but when i type in the 127.0.0.1 i9t works
any reason why?
like they should be the same right?
drifting hatch
Run it with -multihost=::
flint owl
idk wwhat that is lmao
hidden forge
wdym with "my ip" your PCs IP or your WAN IP?
hidden forge
local/PC IP then. probably firewall then
flint owl
already did all of that though i wnet into defenter and added a7777 port
drifting hatch
Run the FactoryServer and add -multihost=:: onto the end
FactoryServer.exe -multihost=::
flint owl
and on my router port forwarding i added 7777 tcp and udp and a 8888 tcp because zatie said i needed that too
wicked knot
already did all of that though i wnet into defenter and added a7777 port
client AND server?
hidden forge
already did all of that though i wnet into defenter and added a7777 port
try with firewall disabled then
drifting hatch
You need 8888 tcp as of 1.0/1.1
flint owl
Run the FactoryServer and add -multihost=:: onto the end
```FactoryServer.exe -m...
it wont let mwe type in the command prompt after i launch
drifting hatch
This is before you launch it
flint owl
oh ok
drifting hatch
In Command Prompt
hidden forge
or rather while launching
flint owl
do i need to run as administrator?
drifting hatch
Don't see why
flint owl
it just wont let me type ain the command prompt like at all
drifting hatch
Never run the server on Windows tho
flint owl
wym?
flint owl
ah ok
drifting hatch
Then open a fresh Command Prompt window
flint owl
ok
drifting hatch
Then go to the directory for the server
flint owl
ok
drifting hatch
In the Command Prompt
flint owl
now what?
drifting hatch
FactoryServer -multihome=::
flint owl
also how do i run it on linux?
hidden forge
basically the same, just .sh instead of .exe
drifting hatch
is it running?
flint owl
no
drifting hatch
error?
hidden forge
send screenshot of terminal
drifting hatch
Close the left one, it's already running, ctrl+c / exit that
hidden forge
ok, back up a bit, how do you start the server?
flint owl
i open the SDS shortcut that i made
drifting hatch
Edit the shortcut then and add -multihome=:: after FactoryServer.exe in the Properties
hidden forge
i open the SDS shortcut that i made
ok. instead of opening it, right click, follow path/open path
then in the address bar of the (file) explorer window that opens, replace the path with "cmd" and hit enter
then type/paste .\FactoryServer.exe -multihome=::
flint owl
wym follow path?
hidden forge
in the right click menu there should be an option to open the file path. you might need the extended options if you are on Win11
flint owl
ok
drifting hatch
Close all the other command/terminal windows
drifting hatch
Nice, I guess first check you can connect on your PC
drifting hatch
Any luck with your friends now?
They need to connect to your external public IP address
You can google what is my IP
drifting hatch
Yep, or that shortcut you have
Right click on it, Properties, and you see where it Target:
....FactoryServer.exe
Add that -multihome=:: on the end
flint owl
yeah]
drifting hatch
Good job š
drifting hatch
Yes a space
Just like when you typed it
Screenshot the shortcut Properties if you want to be sure it's right
flint owl
i tried to apply this and got an error saying the target was invalid
drifting hatch
So it's like .....FactoryServer.exe" -multihome=::
hidden forge
the " around the path because there are spaces in it
drifting hatch
Pleasure, nicely done š

Hi, I'm running a dedicated server on ubuntu server, through steamcmd. The game updated a few hours ago, and it shows version mismatch when trying to join the server. I ran app_update in steamcmd for the app multiple times, it says it's "up to date" yet there's still a version mismatch
is the dedicated server updated to 432215?
violet onyx
nvm figured it out I had to go to steamapps/common/Satisfactory/FactoryServer.sh for some reason my steamcmd refuses to update my directory i was trying to use to start the server. force_install_dir just doesn't work and I can't find a command for steamcmd to show me its working directory
errant sorrel
so i did the reinstall and just had the 2 saved folders i put back, still loads as a mismatch in my game

Soā¦ the desyncs still happen huh?
Guess Iāll keep using my VPN tunnels.
If I get curious before the next attempt to fix it, I might try this.

When the patch is out, please feel free to either DM me or ping me here anytime ...
A reminder ! Please share logs if either desync issue or high CPU usage is not resolved.

Morning.
What is wrong with this setting in engine.ini
[/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSystem]
mNumRotatingAutosaves=10
mTimeBetweenAutosaves=300
I wanted to increased my auto saves.

Is there no way to retrieve data about players connected using the server api? Like player name
drifting hatch
Would be interested to know too, tried searching but can't find much - ideally list, kick, ban, basic user control
deep turret
that would make no much sense
the dedicated server is agnostic of client platform and so client ID
one could reconnect with password
only disconnect/kick would make sense but would not be very useful (you can zap people out instead)
simply change the password and give it to trusted players
tulip cypress
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
deep turret
as a workaround you can also shut down the network connection
deep turret
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Update the server
tulip cypress
How does one do that
tulip cypress
Used steamCMD
deep turret
then same command (including +force_install_dir= )
with steamcmd install and update is exactly the same process
drifting hatch
I think stop the server first, you can try updating it with:
app_update 1690800 validate
Backup your saves just in case
tulip cypress
Oh I used app_update last time so I did this time aswell
drifting hatch
Worked?
tulip cypress
Errm maybe
Im restarting the game becuase it still said it was a version missmatch
drifting hatch
Your game client looks like the correct latest version
tulip cypress
Yeah i just updated it so it should be right
However the update did not seem to work let me check something first tho
drifting hatch
Some were saying that you might need to backup saves (just in case), uninstall and reinstall the dedicated server
tulip cypress
Oh I keep the savefiles somewhere else just in case but ill try to reinstall becuase it did not seem to work
drifting hatch
Yea try a reinstall
tulip cypress
Im jsut gonna make another backup
drifting hatch
Probably wise yea
The saves are in a different location so it shouldn't erase them but not worth the risk
tulip cypress
I agree on that
Since I also cant reach the old verson of satisfactory I cant take a backup from the server right?
drifting hatch
You'd have to do the backup on the server itself
tulip cypress
That might actually be the play since some people played after I save the game last
How does one do a backup from the server then?
drifting hatch
Linux, Windows?
tulip cypress
Windows
drifting hatch
I think Windows they are in
%localappdata%/FactoryGame/Saved/..../server/...
Somewhere around there xD
drifting hatch
Should contain .sav files like autosaves and your factory saves?
drifting hatch
AI claims it's
%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server
I'm running on Linux so I'm a bit nooby when it comes to the Windows version of the dedicated server
I should probably just install a dedicated server on this windows rig so I have a vague clue what I'm blabbering on about XD
tulip cypress
That did not work
drifting hatch
reinstall?
tulip cypress
AI claims it's
```%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server```
No
Havent tried the reinstall yet
drifting hatch
Oh, what in SaveGames subfolder?
tulip cypress
Just config and logs
Or the folder is called Saved
So it might be the wrong folder
drifting hatch
For a dedicated Satisfactory server on Windows, the save file directory is typically located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server or %WINDIR%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server if the server is running as a service using NSSM. You can access the general SaveGames folder by typing %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames into the Windows Explorer search bar
Those are the only two locations I seem to be able to find
drifting hatch
You could try searching your drive for *.sav
tulip cypress
Aight
drifting hatch
Other games use .sav extension so that might throw up quite a bit depending on what you have installed
tulip cypress
Only Windows files came up since the computer that is running is just a server computer
However no files about satisfactory came up
drifting hatch
How are you running the dedi server, from Steam?
tulip cypress
Yeah from Steam
drifting hatch
If you right click on it in Steam, Manage -> Browse Local Files, I'm wondering if they are in there somehow
tulip cypress
I dont think so since I save files from Steam tough the cloud
drifting hatch
I suppose another option is to load your cloud save, save a copy to your PC locally (in the game itself), clean install the server and load the save into the server when setting it up again, but it seems strange as to where the server is keeping the save files
I'll just fire up a dedicated server on my windows system and see what it does
tulip cypress
Aight
drifting hatch
And this is on the server itself?
Strange, I don't know where it's putting them xD
tulip cypress
Me neither
drifting hatch
Maybe try the other technique I mentioned, load your cloud save locally, save it to your PC, and then setup a clean server and load in that save file when setting it up
tulip cypress
i cant acsess the cloud save since its in a different version of the game
Its stored in the server
but not in the sever
Its there but its not there
Idk how this is working actually
Well its not working now I guess
drifting hatch
There is a way to view your cloud files on the web, just checking
tulip cypress
I see the files however they are files that are old
And these I also have a backup of
drifting hatch
Hmm, they've gotta be somewhere on that server XD
Can you pull up the server log?
If you search for "LogServer: Display: Loading most recent SaveGame"
Beyond that it should say what the save is called
tulip cypress
Aight I just have to find the logs then
drifting hatch
There should be a Logs folder somewhere where the server folder is
or if you run the server and scroll up, it's fairly near the start, maybe 20 lines down
Maybe a bit more than 20 lines, it's just after that bit about the Self-Signed Certificate
drifting hatch
Then maybe you can search the server for SPR1NG_autosave_0_continue.sav
tulip cypress
we can try
drifting hatch
It's gotta be picking it up from somewhere š
tulip cypress
It
Exsists
Why did it now show up when I serched for .sav then?
Anyways its there so Backup time
drifting hatch
Strange, I wonder if they are hidden files but they don't seem to be on my system
Yep
drifting hatch
Yea once you got that safe and sound, give the reinstall a go
As mentioned it "shouldn't" remove the saves, but now you're safe either way
tulip cypress
When I think about it may I ask a question
drifting hatch
Sure I can try to answer lol
tulip cypress
The server restart schedule resets to 12pm sometimes and some of my players play during that time
I want it to stick with 6am since we all sleep or work by thenn
Is that just a bug and I have to live with it or is there something I can do?
drifting hatch
Mine restarts at 1am but there is a way to change this, just reading the wiki
tulip cypress
You see in the settings there on the picture that its set to 6am
is that noy enugh?
drifting hatch
Yea, wiki also mentions in the notes that it's not an interval but a time, so it should restart at 6am
tulip cypress
Well it has been resettning to 24am and I did not change any setting when it did
So its really weird
drifting hatch
Yea I think I have a similar problem where it just does the restart at midnight UTC (currently 1am UK)
tulip cypress
Aight for me that would be at 2am since I live in sweden
drifting hatch
Yea
I've changed it to 4am but I'll have to see if that takes effect by tomorrow
tulip cypress
But the logs say that it restarted at 23uk time last night for me
drifting hatch
Oh right, can't immediately explain that
drifting hatch
Just seeing if it can be passed as a command line arg
drifting hatch
It's not listed on the wiki, I guess it has to be set in the server manager. Yep, see what happens tonight, I'll check my logs tomorrow as well and see if it obeys 4am š
drifting hatch
Pleasure, happy building š
tulip cypress
Thank you
drifting hatch
I'll message tomorrow with results š
drifting hatch
Yea sure I'll add you
granite python
im trying to update it but whenever i try through steamcmd the version just stays the same
fervent igloo
restart the server if its on nitrado that worked for me yesterday
ripe spoke
same problem as @granite python after update (multiple) through steamcmd still version missmatch
wicked knot
Some yesterday were saying steamCMD itself had an update, that needed to happen before it could update the server
kind basin
i get "your connection to the host has been lost" when trying to join my server. any idea how to fix?
