dedicated-servers

[fast raptor]

Me and my friend managed 60 minutes of playtime today before we had a similar TIMED OUT message, both at the same time. Except this time it read 60 seconds instead of 30. Probably because we edited the timer in the engine.ini file to 60 seconds.

I immediately went into the crash logs of the server, but this time there was no fresh logfile. So I looked into my client folders. There was no crash log either. I looked into the regular logs. It seemed that at some point the client lost connection to the server. So then I went to the regular logs of the server. There was only one logfile that started logging at the exact same time that the client log lost its connection.

My hypothesis is that it is a different issue from the last one. Then the server crashed seemingly because of some issues with a blueprint. This time it seems as if something caused the server to reboot, but did not log it as a crash.

Anyone any ideas to start my troubleshooting for when I can sit down behind the pc again?

[urban onyx]

I'm getting timed out as well. as well as server reboots

I see these in logs

smoething destructable rocks not being created as not linked to tree

this started happening after latest update.

Steps to reproduce.

• have game with mods.
• update the game,
• player tries enter the game but fails as mods are not updated.
• update mods
• players fails to load / serve crashes.

[torpid walrus]

internal. that worked fine when i was tryin it with a new save rather than loading an old save

[hidden forge]

hm, really sounds like save file issue then. can't help you there

[drifting hatch]

Getting drunk is the solution xD

[civic lantern]

i'd suggest to upload your save fille to the save editor then re-download it

[noble quartz]

@hidden forge I just wanted to say thanks again. The Wolveix worked. Uploaded the save and we're off 🙂

[noble quartz]

Whats the command to restart a wolveix server?

Okay, weird issue. I was playing fine earlier, and my game crashed.

Now when I try to get back on, my character is in the respawn location, without any items, and frozen in place like 5 feet off the ground, and it crashes my friends when I log in.

[wicked knot]

have your friends, (or enemies) find the old you and kill you

[noble quartz]

I couldn't move, or do anything. I just pulled the save file, and deleted my profile from it in the editor, and reuploaded. Good to go now. Thanks 🙂

[drifting hatch]

wolveix/satisfactory-server tends to work xD

Use the docker compose method

Create a dir and a user, like in /var/lib/docker/volumes/
like /var/lib/docker/volumes/satisfactory

Assuming this is ubuntu-ish

cd into where you wrote out docker-compose.yaml

docker compose up -d

(after permissions, creating user/group, etc)

[crisp adder]

What am I missing? I have ports forwarded and open in windows firewall in the VM. I go to the other PC on a different network I can control the server and load saves but can’t join.

[hidden forge]

Can you post the firewall rules too?

[hidden forge]

Full rule please, not just the name

[crisp adder]

I can ping the port from another network I don’t think the port is the issue

[hidden forge]

How do you run the server? SteamCMD, docker, AMP?

[crisp adder]

Steam satisfactory dedicated server tool

I have a Proxmox server running 12 VM and each one is either an AI model VM or a game server. This is the only one that doesn’t work.

[hidden forge]

something is blocking port 8888/tcp

No port translation happening in between?

Windows network type not set to public?

[fast raptor]

How can I force my dedicated server on my NAS to keep old logs? I managed to have it reboot itself again, but it didn't write any crashlogs. Also it didn't keep the regular logs from before the reboot.

[crisp adder]

It’s listening and I can ping it from the other side so i thought it was working but it may not be what would you like to me try?

[hidden forge]

Run powershell Test-Netconnection <Your-Server> -Port 8888 from the client

[crisp adder]

Pic of how I pinged it earlier

[hidden forge]

Can you test a direct connection without a router in-between?

[crisp adder]

It won’t let me join LAN

So LAN won’t auth

[hidden forge]

Anything in the Server log?

[pine spade]

reliable Port open?

[crisp adder]

I Download 7 days to die dedicated server edited the files to be 7777 and 8888 for query didn’t touch any firewall stuff and game booted right up and joinable. Idk what it’s problem with satisfactory is, I’m headed to bed and will try again in the future.

[hidden forge]

give the wolveix docker container a try

[drifting hatch]

wolveix is worthwhile xD

[trim path]

had the exact same issue

and i also agree

its just satisfactory for me

[crisp adder]

I’d why I tried a different game but it’s weird.

[noble quartz]

Everything was working great on my server, me and my friend were playing yada-yada... Then he lost power, and now he cant connect. Is there a way to see the console of the wolveix server, so I can see what it's saying when he tries to connect?

[warped oriole]

docker logs probably

[drifting hatch]

docker logs satisfactory-server

Pipe it to a file

Probably needs elevation

[plush raft]

I have exact the same issue with my newly build dedicated Server

Joining proces looks to go, and in the very last moment when the world should be on the screen, i get the same disconnect error

The games loads unti here, i hear some game sounds already and then the lost connection failure

Freshly installed VM, configured the firewall ports 7777 TCP and UDP open and managed to configure the Server with the builtin Server manager

The Server is logging this

[mild thunder]

you missed 8888 tcp

if you watched the log, when it loaded the world, it would have additionally bound to 8888 tcp if running on default ports

[crisp adder]

I figured mine out. It was because my gaming setup was on TMobile home internet and it scrambles the IP and it don’t like it.

[plush raft]

Aha, i followed a setup video feom a guy on YouTube, and he showrd only opening up 7777 on both protocols and his game worked . but okay, i will reconfigure the server side firewall to open 8888 to on both protocols.. thanx, will let know if it works

[mild thunder]

1.1 added the 8888 tcp port, 1.0 was just 7777 tcp/udp

[plush raft]

But i read, i could remove 8888 UDP again ?

[plush raft]

Whooohooo!! Thank you! I opened up 8888 TCP and UDP and now it works
But i read, i could remove 8888 UDP again ?

[mild thunder]

should be able to

[hidden forge]

8888 is tcp only, udp can be removed

[open radish]

does anyone have experience with https://github.com/sa-shiro/Satisfactory-Dedicated-Server-ARM64-Docker ?

[plush raft]

And is there also a setting somewhere that the Server will list here:?

[mild thunder]

everyone has to use the Server manager to connect to a server, there can be a different password for players vs admin.

[meager halo]

last time i tried it (1.0) worked alright

[open radish]

i was able to build it succesfully, but whenever i use the run script no docker container appears

[meager halo]

let me give it a try again

[open radish]

also i had to change my docker file w/ chatgpt bc i was getting some permission errors with steamcmd

[meager halo]

how was it changed

also what distro are you using? oracle linux or ubuntu?

sorry its taking a while, the build took forever and then the download also took forever

😭

its working fine for me

[open radish]

oracle ubuntu 22.04

so it should be arm64 architecture

[meager halo]

what changes have you made to the docker file?

[open radish]

here ill dm u

[lost iris]

how does one get a dedicated server

[meager halo]

money, or a lot of time spending getting one up :D

[lost iris]

how long does it take

[open radish]

ive been trying to set it up since 8 pm last night 😭

and its 4pm for me right now

if that tells u anything

[meager halo]

take some time if you aren't used to hosting servers

[open radish]

yh

also depends on what ur hosting on

[lost iris]

pc ... windows

[open radish]

yeah that should be the easiest, you could just look at the wiki for self hosting or watch a yt vid

[lost iris]

ok peak

[meager halo]

some videos are outdated, so try and follow the most recent one. also double check the video by skimming the wiki every now and then so that the video is accurate

[lost iris]

i have decided its easier to host lol

thanks tho

[hidden forge]

check with lscpu or uname -m

[open radish]

yea its aarch64

[hidden forge]

any luck with ayayrom in dm?

[meager halo]

just had to tinker the dockerfile

worked on some vms not all apparently lol

thats so wack

[hidden forge]

<30min if you know what to do, hours if you don't
you need a bit of networking knowledge an how to set a vm/docker/executable-as-a-service

[meager halo]

there was an issue with internal docker permissions, and i made a pull request on the github so it probably wont happen again

[warped shoal]

I just updated the dedicated server and launched it

(all in lan)

but when I try to open the server manager it says "Server appears to be offline"

This was caused by the patch, worked great before today

Fixed it, when I updated it it killed the console but not the process

[celest fiber]

So me and my 4-5 friends are thinking about getting the game, but we would need to rent a server. Where would you guys recommend?

[meager halo]

personally i recommend hosting, dunno any services that i can recommend for renting

[steel fjord]

Hello good people, running a few servers on an Ubuntu 24.04 container through Proxmox. Im trying to increase the player cap with the Game.ini file but it seems like everytime I reboot the container to apply, my edit dissapears and the cap stays at 4. Any insight?

[glacial basalt]

Can someone lend some help. I'm a bit new to Linux and doing this server thing but so far I seemed to install the dedicated server files through steamcmd in the terminal, however I'm not sure what to do. How do I actually run the server now, is there something outside of steamcmd I have to do

[wicked knot]

Sounds like you have installation out of the way, so pick up with port forwarding
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Port_forwarding_and_firewall_settings

that goes thru 3 ways to install and set up the server, make sure you stay with the linux track

[celest fiber]

So no one pays for a server?

[steel fjord]

A LOT of people do lol, this channel is pretty much for people who host their own and are looking for guidance/troubleshooting help

[celest fiber]

ok, i'll ask in another 🙂 ty

[steel fjord]

in my opinion just go for the cheapest lol, they all function the same

[native magnet]

anyone else having the problem of when someone tries to join their server they get halfway through loading and get disconnected. it shows them join the game and then leave the game.

[mild thunder]

a possibility is that they are unable to access the Reliable Messaging port that was added in 1.1 that defaults to 8888 tcp

[open radish]

You are able to get a dedicated server for free, it's just a bit more complicated and takes longer

[hidden forge]

Run the factoryserver binary in the install location

[oblique isle]

I have some im currently giving free..

Giving away 3 vouchers. First come first served.

2 months server hosting for feedback on the system. ASA servers are NOT offered on a PAID plan (Donations only which is not even wired up yet)

Bronze Tier, so run ASA or Minecraft on them free for two months.. Please feedback - Can extend if you having fun and providing feedback on the system..

[flint parcel]

does anyone knows where the satisfactory saves files are located on debian?

[flint parcel]

need to run the bash file so it can start

Im having a big issue with steam updating, the steamcmd finish the update process but it actually doesnt modify the files

[steel fjord]

Hello good people, running a few servers on an Ubuntu 24.04 container through Proxmox. Im trying to increase the player cap with the Game.ini file but it seems like everytime I reboot the container to apply, my edit dissapears and the cap stays at 4. Any insight?

[swift spire]

didnt consender this
how do i fix it without redisigning the whole thing
i also need the floors to be 9 foundtion apart cuz that fits everything perfectly

[swift spire]

ok so what if i make this one big window

and i fixed the floor issue as well

[glad nest]

make it read only

[steel fjord]

chmod ftww

[fervent basin]

Satisfactory wiki says a server takes 16gb ram, is this a hard minimum? Or could I use 8gb? I have all the other requirements it's just ram I'm low on. I'd be playing with 2-3 players total on the server.

[hidden forge]

Iirc it starts at around 2GB and then scales with your factory

[steel fjord]

you can almost definently scrape by with 8gb, what os do you host it on?

[noble quartz]

Restarted my server to add some blueprints, and now it says it's on version 458806, but steam isn't offering an update to my game to get it on the same version?

[steel fjord]

that update hit two days ago, your server is up to date but your steam client is not

[noble quartz]

Right, how do I force the update to Steam then? It's not showing an update available

[steel fjord]

no idea, this page is generally just for the server side of things lol. personally id start with an uninstall and reinstall though

[noble quartz]

Restarting Steam fixed it, good to go 🙂

[fervent basin]

I have a windows PC up and running but I'm working on fixing up an old PC and getting Linux up on it to run the server on

64 bit dual core processor, 8gb RAM, I need to upgrade the hardrive since it's only maybe 100MB

[hidden forge]

Dual core CPU? That's either very old or very low power. Probably won't be a good experience

[steel fjord]

Granted it is a 5900XT, but my servers usually average at 50% usage on just 2 of the allotted threads

[steel fjord]

Your best bet in going to be running Ubuntu live server (no gui), that way your OS wont even take up 1GB of memory

[fervent basin]

I said mb I meant gb

Whoops

I think I can afford to download a flavor for Linux since I don't know a ton of programming and a UI would be nice for me. Would 8GB RAM be barely scraping by or an actually good experience?

[steel fjord]

Youre not programming, just copy pasting commands you find online lol, its really not as scary as it seems

8GB will make do but a stripped OS would allow you to give everybit possible to the Sat server

[hidden forge]

Ah yeah, that CPU is fine

[steel fjord]

The CPU as a whole would be overkill, but i was surprised 2 threads is all it needs

[supple charm]

hi guys, me and a friend of mine are tring to host a server, we've done the port mapping, installation via steam tool, executed with admin priv, but it isn't reachble

[hidden forge]

Double check your WAN IP and that it is public

[supple charm]

we figured out that he had CGNAT

[hidden forge]

You could try IPv6 in that case

[supple charm]

Provider has changed it and now we have a static ip, but still connection fail, timed out and we both have ftth

[hidden forge]

Static or public?
Time out at what connection stage?

[marsh viper]

Can anyone in here help me with kicking players/banning players from my server?

[hidden forge]

Not possible
You can only set/change the user password and/or ban their IP at the firewall level

[marsh viper]

Yeah, I also just banned their IP

[south mulch]

Rq so i Have a server that is running with a 3rd party company and im trying to increase the object limit and i do it in the engine.ini file but when I start the server it resets it

any help?

[wicked knot]

may need to put a ticket in with the service provider for editing files on their equipment

[south mulch]

aight

[scarlet wigeon]

has anyone else noticed how the coupons in the awesome sink dont print from the actual print spot, it prints a couple inches below it, or is my laptop just trippin?

[supple charm]

dynamic public ip, after like 10 second of the connection loading

[supple charm]

that's a try to a brand new save, in a clean server

[hidden forge]

You might be missing the secondary port 8888/TCP then

[marsh schooner]

why is my server on the correct and also wrong version.
is my client not updating the server screen?

ping is updating
nothing changes when i re-add the server or restart everything

[forest kiln]

@marsh schooner the game version is your local game client, the server version needs to be updated

[marsh schooner]

the server is up to date, look at the second picture

[forest kiln]

First picture states the server version is not in fact up to date, you may have 1.1 on the server, but not the most current build, hence the version mismatch

[wicked knot]

the build number in the log (which IS updated) isnt the same as the build number the server manager tool is reporting

[lilac pine]

is there a mod or something that fixes the ghost hdds in the object scanner? or is this a problem only on servers?

[twilit fox]

hm..

🤷

[distant edge]

im wanting to have more then 4 people but online is says to go to a file called game.ini i cant find it i only see engine and gameusersettings

[marsh schooner]

thats the problem,
the screen was also there, while the server was offline,
so it could be a client cache error or something

but the ping is updating in the server list (shown in tht third pic)

[proud stag]

alright so im having a weird issue, ill try to explain it as best i can

so iv been trying to enable ficsmas, firist i tried toggling the events on in game, hitting apply, and restarting via admin panel

that resulted in no settings saving, so then i went to my environments and changed true to false as shown in the screenshot, that didnt work either,

what am i missing

has it just not dropped (theirs a fair chance a friend has just gaslit me into thinking it started on the first)

any ideas?

[whole meadow]

what is the time running on the server?

[proud stag]

uptime or time as far as the save?

[whole meadow]

no the actual time on the server machine

is it 1st of december on the server machine

[proud stag]

yes

its CST time zone

should be 12:17PM CST

[whole meadow]

and I am guessing you have restarted the server just now (from your earlier message)

[proud stag]

multiple times trying to get this to work, yes

generally after trying to change settings, push a restart after applying said change

[whole meadow]

alright. So is it a new save that is loaded on the server or an existing/old save ? (have not read your full set of messages, so I might have missed it if you have already told us)

[proud stag]

its an exsisting save, about 300+ hours

[whole meadow]

Right, so you just do not see the decoration in HUB, the calendar and ficsmas research tree in the MAM ?

[proud stag]

hold please gonna send screenshots

negatory on both

[whole meadow]

Could you share the log file from the server?

[proud stag]

lemme see if i can find that

[whole meadow]

It should be in the installation directory If i am not wrong

[proud stag]

so i have panel access as a friends hosting it for me but i dont think i have FTP access

[whole meadow]

no worries

whenever it is possible, please do share

I do not know why your server would not trigger the ficsmas event 😕 , maybe the logfile might shed some light.

[proud stag]

yeah i know what its for

im just confsed because all of this makes sense but its just not working

[whole meadow]

My hunch is that it has something to do with the time running on the server, maybe it triggers tonight for you? Just a speculation.

[proud stag]

maybe yeah

[honest perch]

How can I upload blueprints if I don’t own the server and don’t have the save file

[true cliff]

anyone having issues with LOW.Ms server hosting

i timed out earlier from my server and went into the control panel to reset the server but now it just says "unable to connect to the remote server" on the control panel

[pale fog]

Hey! Idk if anyone can help. But My sever (through ping players) isnt updating and just says im on a different version to this. Any idea why?

[proud stag]

try restarting the server with auto update enabled

[pale fog]

I have done abt 3 times. Exact same thing

[proud stag]

i still cant get the damn seasonal events to turn on

[pale fog]

Mine was turned on the second the event started i really dont get these servers man 🙁

[proud stag]

good for you lol

[devout frigate]

is anyone having problems with updating their server?

both me and my friend are having problems and we're trying on two different computers

it's ending with "app is state 0x6 after update job"

i've been able to update it in the past also, so no problems there, we also deleted the app manifest already

[dusty pagoda]

hello, im struggling to join my friend's server

i setup the server using docker, he can join from localhost

the server shows up for me, i login, but i immediately time out

This is the logs from after i join.

[wicked knot]

have them check port forwarding, 7777 TCP/UDP, 8888TCP

[dusty pagoda]

the port is forwarded 7777 tcp/udp, 8888 tcp/udp

we double checked through the canyouseeme.org

[tacit girder]

not sure whre to post my question. So besides hosting satisfactory on my server i hae a fork of greeny for satisfactory tools running and ttying to update the icons. when parsing the docs im getting the following error. any ideas: json.buildings[item.key].name = item.name;

[orchid folio]

Edit: The issue was my server PC was set to one IP, but somehow was handed a different IP by the router at the same time. Reset everything and got it all on one IP and it works fine.

I'm trying to setup a dedicated server on a spare local PC, and am having trouble with the server showing the incoming connection as accepted, but the connection never works.

I was able to connect with server manager on the host machine running the dedicated server and claim the server, but other machines on the same local network show the server as offline. I can see the incoming connection from the IP address showing accepted just like when the host machine connects, but it never actually connects.

I can even see incoming connections from outside my LAN and they show as connecting, but they don't work either.

7777 and 8888 are forwarded and show up at canyouseeme and via powershell/nmap checks

host machine's windows firewall is disabled
I've run the PS scripts to open the default ports and add the exe to tot he firewall.

[distant edge]

so i have a freind whos ping is over 200 when trying to join my server how do i fix it

[orchid folio]

need more info. Who is the host of the server? local box or commercial?

[distant edge]

its local the load for a sec then get booted

the only thing ive done is made it have 10 player slots instead of 4 butthat shouldnt break it

its a dedicated server on another machine

that is right nect to me

[orchid folio]

that machine is a wired connection, not wifi, right?

[distant edge]

the server host yes

[orchid folio]

cool

try this maybe https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files#Client_disconnected_for_Timeout

logs should show disconnection reason I think

[distant edge]

where would the logs be

[orchid folio]

*>Server logs may be found in the server's install directory in the FactoryGame/Saved/Logs directory. Note that depending on build and branch, not all of these may be present.

The server keeps a running log of all of the messages it prints to the console. Logs are rotated on server start, with the latest (current) log being named FactoryGame.log, with the others following a datetime filename pattern FactoryGame-backup-DATE-TIME.log. On Linux, up to 15 log files are kept on disk.

The server by default also uploads crash dump reports of every crashed server instance. A crash report directory with a randomly-generated UUID is created on server start, saved to the FactoryGame/Saved/Crashes directory.

The game client follows a similar pattern, but the logs and crash dumps are kept in the user's AppData directory alongside save files.*

[distant edge]

there connection to host timed out

[languid terrace]

HI, how do i create a dedicated server?

[brazen zinc]

are you on steam?

[languid terrace]

yeah but i dont want to have to keep my pc on 24/7

[brazen zinc]

https://www.google.com/search?q=rent+satisfactory+dedicated+server then you'll have to pay for it from someone here. I don't know enough to recommend or anti-recommend any of them

[languid terrace]

i wonder if anyone here has used one

[brazen zinc]

looks like around $15/mo

I haven't used it but now that I look at the list I remember people saying generally good things about "indifferent broccoli" -- I can't link it

indifferentbroccoli dot com

[meager halo]

could also try oracle cloud's always free VPS

[distant edge]

I'm reading the wiki for port forwarding and it says to add a command line for port 8888 how do I do that and where

[native herald]

Hey Im having a problem with my dedicated server not running Ficsmas! I am using Low.MS, and I cant seem to figure out why this is happening. Everytime I restart the server, I see the "Disable seasonal event" box checked, and no matter how many times I uncheck, or reset it, it always comes back after restart. Tried to backup my server then restore, same thing. Help if anyone knows! TIA

[lost aspen]

Hey everyone! Every time I try to join my server, I log in and get kicked with "Your connection to the host has been lost". In the console I get this error:

[lost aspen]

This is how it looks like

[hidden forge]

Yeah, check your setup for port 8888/tcp

[lost aspen]

I added the port allocation to the gameserver on pterodactyl, i'll try

works!

thank you!

[dreamy wolf]

this error gets thrown when my friend tries to join. what is going on?

[reef frigate]

Do they have a legit copy of the game? Are they logged in via Steam/Epic/whatever?

[dreamy wolf]

yes. steam client and they are logged in

and i gifted him the copy of satisfactory. so if its not legit, then steam screwed up

[hidden forge]

Please post your port forwarding setup

[dreamy wolf]

its a unifi system

[hidden forge]

Missing port 8888/tcp too

Noted. Thank you

[wicked knot]

check launch arguments?

[native herald]

and where would I check that?

[wicked knot]

the string you launch the server with?

[paper kindle]

how would one go about setting up a dedicated on an arch linux terminal box?

is there a guide anywhere online or

because the AUR listing for the server files was last updated in 2021 so i assume that is out of date

[hidden forge]

Same as any other distro
Install SteamCMD
Install Server via SteamCMD
(Optional) Setup Firewall
(Optional) Setup Port-Forwarding
Play the game
(Optional) Have fun

For more details, see the pinned wiki link

[paper kindle]

thank you, im new to hosting these myself i normally just pay for them 🙏

[deep turret]

there is a lot more tuning of small things on Linux servers
such as with what manager, with what user ID, in what directory, with what security containment

but it is essentially the same basis
and all the above are optional

base is still :
install game file manager (epic, steamcmd, etc..)
install server file through game file manager
setup server run settings (unit files, script arguments, etc ..)
setup network (portforwarding, firewall, tunneling, etc..)
play (claim server, setup game settings, upload save, build stuff, download save, etc..)

[cloud tapir]

why does this happen gng? my friend is hosting

[hidden forge]

missing port 7777/tcp in the firewall/port-forwarding setup

[cloud tapir]

he says boith are there

in both

[hidden forge]

then something else is blocking it

[cloud tapir]

i dont have to set up anything right?

only him

[hidden forge]

yes

might be the ISP blocking the ports

[cloud tapir]

aw :<

[hidden forge]

he can always hust change them

[cloud tapir]

wdym just change them

wait cant it just be my ip?

isp

[hidden forge]

you can change the ports the server uses

[cloud tapir]

how...?

=nvm he know show..

he knwos how

i can see the ip address

it shows ping and game ongoing

but it gives that error

[hidden forge]

ping uses the 7777/udp port

[cloud tapir]

ah oke so thats workign...

he changed the port to 8000

but its till nto working :<

[hidden forge]

maybe try something higher like 15000

[left kettle]

hey i need help with something, when i try to turn on the server it doesnt work and stays off

[hidden forge]

did you try to re-download all the files?

[left kettle]

wait i just fixed it

its cuz i used the wrong IP

welp now i feel dumb

now my friend cant join and it says offline for him

[dusk cedar]

is your friend using the correct IP?

[left kettle]

im useing 127.0.0.1

and hes useing the same one

oh you said ip

7777

or 8888

yea hes useing 7777

it looks like this for him

[hidden forge]

127.0.0.1 is localhost, aka "this pc"
he won't be able to reach your pc with it
he needs to use your wan IP to connect

[left kettle]

ohhh

ok

[stable swallow]

has anyone had issues re-enabling FICSMAS? My friend accidentally disabled it and now this icon appears next to the setting

not sure what that red icon means next to the setting either

[marsh schooner]

anyone got an idea?

[marsh schooner]

problem fixed, satis was open as a non-console service

[quasi ferry]

Hello!

I have a friend trying to join a dedicated server. His entire game is crashing on this server

Here’s the catch, he can join OTHER dedicated servers just fine, and he has already been on this server many times before. This randomly started today and it’s a full game crash

Any ideas?

[drifting hatch]

All 3 ports open and mapped? 7777/tcp 7777/udp 8888/tcp

[quasi ferry]

Yep, other people can join, and he was able to join before today

[west imp]

HI im the friend in question, I can even hear the sound of the train coming past when loading in before everything crashes

as for reference things I have done: restart pc, update & restart mods, join other sevrvers to test. Switch to directX11, Switch back to directX12, verify game files, check for bios updates. Set graphic settings to lowest. Today is not the first time the crashed happened. It happened a week ago, then I lowerd my settings from high to medium and I could join again. Yesterday when building on the server the game started doing funky shit leaving my beams blue(the placement highlight blue) after building and not letting me delete them. I then went back to main menu and tried to rejoin the server. I have crashed every time I tried to rejoin and none of the fices seemed to make a difference. I can upload crash reports here too if peopel are interested.

Thanks for any help, this is confusing me a lot

[drifting hatch]

Interesting... could be graphics driver. Crash log would be useful yea

[quasi ferry]

[cosmic monolith]

Issue: SteamCMD downloads wrong server version - Epic instead of Steam.

What should happen: SteamCMD (App ID 1690800) should give us the Steam dedicated server version with FactoryGameServer.exe.

What actually happens: We get the Epic Games Store version with FactoryServer.exe, which doesn't work for self-hosting.

The problem: The Epic version requires complicated Epic Online Services setup that isn't documented for regular server hosting. The server shows up in the game list, but clicking "Join" does nothing. Trying to connect via console gives "Encryption token missing" error. Server logs show "NULL online backend" and "Failed to initialize schema registry" errors.

What I've tried:

Multiple SteamCMD commands and variations

Complete clean installs

Different beta versions (public, experimental)

Checking ports and firewall (all correct)

Why this matters: The official Satisfactory wiki says to use SteamCMD for dedicated servers, but currently it gives an unusable version. The wiki also states that the Epic version is "not recommended for self-hosting" - yet that's exactly what SteamCMD distributes.

My setup: Windows Server 2022, static public IP, all required ports forwarded (7777, 15000, 15777).

Request to devs: Please either fix the SteamCMD deployment to give the correct Steam version, or provide an alternative way to download the working Steam dedicated server files.

I can provide: Screenshots of the folder contents, full SteamCMD installation logs, server error logs, and help with testing any fixes.

[drifting hatch]

I can't spot anything obvious in that log but I am far from an expert on UE - might be worth #1038092680493801533 and making one there

[quasi ferry]

Thank you

[mild thunder]

seeing the ports listed there, you are using old documentation, please check the wiki for the new info

[hidden forge]

SteamCMD cannot download the epic Version. Also Server is always the same afaik.
Also if you got the ports from the wiki, it is outdated. Try again with the wiki in the pins

[cosmic monolith]

I tried using new ports such as: 6666 8888 and 5222. Created it .a bat file running on these ports. The server itself is being created, I see it in the game, I create the world. However, when connecting, it issues an error with the correct authorization via EOS. That's the problem, I downloaded Dedicated Server via SteamCMD.

[hidden forge]

still too many ports
you only need a base port in tcp and udp, default is 7777
and a reliable port in tcp, by default 8888
then use the server manager to manage and/or join, not "join game"

[cosmic monolith]

thx

[lilac pagoda]

Should I add a GSLT token to my dedicated server?

I was going to just add one anyways but I see that satisfactory and satisfactory dedicated server have different app ids. I havent been able to find anything in the documentation that mentions GSLT.

[hidden forge]

Because the server doesn't need one

[mental locust]

How many instances of satisfactory can a Intel Ultra 7 265 run

[hidden forge]

Depends on RAM and factory size, GPU and how many fps you consider "running"

[mental locust]

Ok thanks

[deep turret]

GPU is not used by server though

[pure fog]

Playing a dedicated server on a computer I have run satisfactory servers on in the past with no issue. Seemingly out of nowhere we are getting random rubberbanding/hitching. We cannot seem to identify the issue, Internet is fine, ping is stable 22ms, up/down is 500ish. The only thing I see in the cmd for the server is

LogNetPackageMap: Warning: FNetGUIDCache::SupportsObject: LightweightCollisionComponent /Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Persistent_Level.Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.AbstractInstanceManager_2147481968.LightweightCollisionComponent_2147471845 NOT Supported.

Any suggestions?

[drifting hatch]

No idea from that message, how long ago is the past? Game has evolved, could it be a memory or CPU issue?

e.g. not enough of either

[pure fog]

I don't think so, me and my buddy did a playthrough with the same computer hosting like 2 months ago

[drifting hatch]

Oh okay so very recent, 1.1

[pure fog]

Yes definitely

[drifting hatch]

Not sure but ping time, throughput speed, etc, is only a few metrics. Are you could be experiencing packet loss somewhere on the route for example, which is not always obviously visible but sensitive time critical applications like video games can expose that sort of thing

[pure fog]

Just ran a quick test on the server PC and did not have any packet loss, this rubberbanding is happening every 3-4 minutes or so

[drifting hatch]

What if you do the same to your friend, different route, different routers, etc

[pure fog]

Just to clarify, ping his IP and check for packet loss?

[drifting hatch]

Yea it could be a different route from* google

Most likely is

or did I misunderstand, you are just playing solo on your server?

[pure fog]

No I am palying with a friend, this isssue is happening on my end (seperate pc from server pc) and also on his end (he lin Minnesota, I am in Texas)

[drifting hatch]

Oh okay, sounds like it's the server then, or networking near the server that you're both going through, at a guess

Is it a rented server?

[pure fog]

No it is my personal computer, I am going to try and change DNS server on it, I just remembered when the AWS outage happened, the effects lingered for me, and I had to manually change the DNS server on my devices instead of leaving it set to DHCP because I kept losing connection to steam/PSN/streaming services/etc and I had not done that on my server PC

[drifting hatch]

Ah okay, not entirely sure how changing DNS server will help, all that does is the resolution, but you know better than me with your setup 🙂

[pure fog]

Yeah it did not help. figured it was worth a shot!

Any other suggestions?

[drifting hatch]

If you're running the server and client both on the same PC it does demand quite decent hardware specs. It's like you're running the game twice (apart from the graphics)

[pure fog]

No it is seperate PC's. The server is on its own PC and I am playing on an entirely different PC

This is what shows in the Satisfactory CMD when the hitch/rubberband happens if it helps

[drifting hatch]

I wonder if it's some issue with your save, are you able to try a different save or new factory and see if it happens there?

[pure fog]

I am loading a save from a few hours ago now, will keep you posted

[drifting hatch]

Those messages don't look particularly networking'ish related, so might be something map related

[pure fog]

Yeah the same issue is happening on the save from like 3 hours ago, I am going to try one from about 20ish hours ago, and see if the problem is still there

[pure fog]

That is what I was thinking as well

[drifting hatch]

Worth a try, or even create a new factory and see what happens there if no luck with the 20 hour one

[pure fog]

Same thing on the 20 hour old save as well, will try a WHOLE new factory now

Same thing on the new world as well, this is very odd

[drifting hatch]

Yikes yea, tricky one... Is the CPU getting maxed out on a core or overall? I'm struggling to think what this could be

[pure fog]

Not at all, only using 5% total in task manager, but you can tell me if you think anything looks out of place here

[drifting hatch]

Looks very fine

Did you try googling one of those errors? Probably a long-shot

[pure fog]

I did, it brought up a lot of unreleated server issues, nothing relating to mine specifically

[drifting hatch]

Sounds about right xD
I'm out of ideas :/

Hopefully someone else will know, if you keep an eye here, or you could try #1038092680493801533

[pure fog]

Yeah I appreciate you giving it some thought at least! I am pretty tired of messing with it myself, hopefully someone reads this while I am asleep and has a Jimmy Neutron brain blast for a solution, but I am going to let it be for the night 😂

[drifting hatch]

Sounds like a plan 🤣 It's certainly possible when different parts of the world wake up and read this someone might know.. Otherwise have a good night and fingers crossed xD

[pure fog]

Likewise!

[hidden forge]

@pure fog what's the auto-save interval on the server?

Hi I try to add my own dedicated server but it fails

The server is running i can connect and setup via client

but after init there is an message "your connection to the host has been lost"

[hidden forge]

Probably missing port 8888/TCP in your firewall/port-forwarding setup

[split wasp]

do you mean client or sever sided?

[hidden forge]

Server

[split wasp]

the error is switching to this

[hidden forge]

Rules for base port 7777 include TCP and UDP?

[split wasp]

yes

[hidden forge]

A save is created/uploaded and loaded by the server?

[split wasp]

ok it was a real timeout... the service wasnt running (dont know why) I restarted and it works XD Thnaks a lot

[urban lintel]

Is anyone Willing to host a server?

The group of people i play with need a new host

But they do constantly kill people,so take that into concideration

[brittle mirage]

anyone ran into this before? not sure if they log back on if it will fix it or not, but hadn't seen this before so just curious. thanks all.

[hidden forge]

yeah, that can happen

[brittle mirage]

cool, thanks wasn't sure if it was normal or not, haven't played a lot with multiplayer

[arctic slate]

Hey guys. Just transfered a game save that i was running with friends on my pc to a dedicated server due to the save getting to big for my little pc to handle while also playing. Before I wouldnt have issues with factories stopping to work due to resources not coming to them but now that im running on the server i feel like either i am loading where the resources are coming from or they just dont come at all. Is that a dedicated server issue that i can fix or is it a factory issue (its not consuming more than im bringing so it shouldnt be the problem)?

[spare zealot]

hello pioneers, whats the deal with running a dedicated server on an ARM based cpu? is it doable?

[hidden forge]

to some success yes

[spare zealot]

is there any docs you can point me towards, my googling has led to zilch

[hidden forge]

try this: https://github.com/sa-shiro/Satisfactory-Dedicated-Server-ARM64-Docker
but you are on your own, no official support

[meager halo]

works

[ripe saffron]

I had the same issue with LinuxGSM, if you make the change while the SF server is running it overwrites it on restart. But making the change while the server is stopped works 🙂

[unique bloom]

hi im very new to this ive never had a server before. i have followed all the instructions making files etc steam cmd and exceptions for ports in firewall. i go into the game and it enter the ip from gportal but i still get the server name pending not authenticated message. any help would be appreciated. like i said thought im very new to this kind of thing

[hidden forge]

Double check the ports with the ones listed on the community wiki in the pins

Some instructions out there may be outdated

[unique bloom]

thank you i used 7777 TCP and UDP in firewall ports

[ripe saffron]

Then you're probably missing TCP 8888

[unique bloom]

ahh i see i will try that and is this in the advanced firewall settingd

[ripe saffron]

Can't help you with that, that depends on your firewall. Mine's probably different from yours.

[hidden forge]

Isn't gportal a game hosting service? Do you even need to configure the firewall? Don't they handle everything and you just get an ip and a port to use?

[spare zealot]

thanks for this, got a 24gb 4 core running the server now

[unique bloom]

ive tried doing it without configuring anyhting and nothing works

[spare zealot]

such a better gaming experience

[hidden forge]

You probably have to use some other port than 7777

[unique bloom]

ive tried all of this im not sure what im doing wrong

different ports ive tried changing the last two digits on the ip too 00 nada XD

[hidden forge]

Then go ask gportal support.
Looking at the port names they are running an outdated config

Also you might want to consider censoring the IP and username

[unique bloom]

like i said if you read back im new to this i dont know how any of this works thanks for the help

[mild thunder]

yep, when connecting to the server, you can just go to manage saves, and upload it.

[edgy grotto]

so I am looking into getting a dedicated server for me and my xbox buddies. But none of the Server hosting sites, (G-Portal, Nitrado) seem to offer console hosting. So what do I do, buy another copy of the game and leave it running on another console 24/7?

hey guys i made a dedi server, i opend all ports and i can create a world etc but when i try to conect i get an error that i cant connect
did maby someone of you know an answer of this problem ?

a friend wanted the name

[hidden forge]

Outdated ports. You need 7777 TCP & UDP and 8888 TCP

Or whatever you change them too

[mild thunder]

looks like an old outdated egg that you used, grab a new one from the Pterodactyl Community Egg Repository.

[hollow sigil]

based name

[verbal jacinth]

someone know who host is the most low cost for a dedicated ?

[steel fjord]

Cheap office pc off fb marketplace lol

[drifting hatch]

Needs to have a reasonably decent CPU if you want to self-host to a good standard

[meager halo]

if u dont want to spend money learn how to do oracle cloud always free instances

[split briar]

thank you

[split briar]

hey guys i have now this error but the server works with the error

so is this bad or can i ignore it ?

[drifting hatch]

Ignore

I get a bunch of those errors as well, seems nothing to worry about

[split briar]

okay thanks

[steel fjord]

Depends on your OS as well, something like Ubuntu Live Server idles at less than 1% CPU usage and my Sat servers use %60 of the two threads I give them. Two of my threads are roughly equivalent to a 13 year old i5

[drifting hatch]

I run mine on Linux yea, albeit within docker, uses about 3.5 cores worth at the moment for this fac

How large is your fac?

Kinda hard question to answer

[steel fjord]

Not sure what fac is abbreviating

[drifting hatch]

Factory

[steel fjord]

ohh factory save, the teirs are maxxed out and to my standards its pretty damn huge. no mega factories though

[drifting hatch]

Doing well with 60% of 2 threads on that i5

[steel fjord]

its running on two threads of a AMD 5900XT, two threads of that are roughly equivalent to all 4 threads of an i5-3570 was my comparison

[drifting hatch]

Ah right, so a pretty decent CPU

[steel fjord]

Yes but as I said it only gets two v-cores from it

[drifting hatch]

Yea does very well in that case, seems better than this 12600K

Reminds me I need to upgrade my proxmox to 9.x

Is that with the factory running?

[steel fjord]

8 still supported for awile so no big rush, 9s pretty new

[drifting hatch]

Until August yea

Yea I was holding off for a bit, I got burned in the past upgrading early xD

[steel fjord]

Its running but with no player activity, when people join it chills at around %50 with peaks in the 60s

[drifting hatch]

That's good performance for 2 threads

[steel fjord]

It is running on a container instead of a VM as well, so its basically 100% efficient

[drifting hatch]

Yea similar to docker in the regard, basically zero overhead

Interesting either way, perhaps AMD is scaling better with Satis xD

Have you given it Host CPUs in Proxmox or virt?

In fact if it's an LXC not sure if you even have a choice?

[steel fjord]

Could be, I didnt even know this CPU existed and is very confusing, 5900 usually means 12 core but this came out in late 2024 and is basically a 5950X at half price

Yeah for containers theres no options for what type of cores you give it, only in VMs

[drifting hatch]

Looks virtually identical, I guess just binned 1 down from the 5950X

Worth it for half the price

[steel fjord]

I scored mine brand new on amazon for $200 a peice

[drifting hatch]

That's good

[lusty hawk]

Can somebody please help me:
I’m playing with my buddy on a dedicated server he created (following this guide https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/s/099qH4yIQa). Whenever his pc is running, the server is running fine but when he turns it off, the server closes.
Am I not understanding things correctly or are we doing something wrong?

[drifting hatch]

Presumably he's running the dedicated server on the same PC?

[lusty hawk]

Yes he is

[drifting hatch]

Would explain that then 😉

[lusty hawk]

So he needs to leave his pc on or get a device to keep the program running? Or are there other options?

[drifting hatch]

The dedicated server, depending how he's set it up, is a separate program running, so yep, if you shutdown the PC it's not going to be running anymore

[lusty hawk]

Thanks! I’ve got a spare raspberry pi that maybe could run the server.

[drifting hatch]

Don't get your hopes up xD

[lusty hawk]

I don’t, I’m not particularly skilled in programming 🤣

[drifting hatch]

I actually don't know how well a Pi 4/5 would handle it, maybe to an acceptable level, at least for a small/medium factory

Memory might be a bigger constraint depending on the model you have

I assume your friend can't just leave the PC running?

[lusty hawk]

Unfortunately not, his gaming is about to blow up as it is 🤣

[drifting hatch]

Can you run the server instead?

i.e. on your PC like friend is

Reverse roles xD

[lusty hawk]

Good point, probably could 🤣

[steel fjord]

Theres somebody a bit above who got a server running on arm64, but i would assume youd need a 16GB pi and thats if the cpu can handle it like you said

[drifting hatch]

Yea I'd say a 16GB would be ideal.. 8 is potentially a bit tight

[lusty hawk]

At that point it might be cheaper to rent a server for a while then buy all the stuff I guess

[drifting hatch]

Reddit seems to suggest a Pi just isn't viable, but ultimately it would require testing

That thread was Pre-Pi 5 though, story might have changed

[steel fjord]

Like i said last night, businesses are basically giving away anything pre Intel 8th gen due to not meeting Windows 11 requirements. The value on anything 7th and below has plummeted

[drifting hatch]

That's a good point

[steel fjord]

Im currently sitting on three 7700 w/16GB of memory in the back of my work van rn

[drifting hatch]

Make for good chairs xD

[steel fjord]

I was gonna toy around with a Proxmox cluster since I havent gotten into that yet

[drifting hatch]

If you have a decent CPU you should be able to run the server and client at the same time, it's a bit like running the game twice, minus the graphics

[steel fjord]

What CPU do you have @lusty hawk ?

[drifting hatch]

Seems like a good use for the 7th gens

[lusty hawk]

I’ve got a ryzen 7700x

[steel fjord]

Plenty of CPU then no question, as long as you got 32GB or better you should be fine to run both

[drifting hatch]

It's a good CPU for sure

5.4Ghz boost clock, speedy

[lusty hawk]

I just need to check if I’m comfortable leaving the space heater on all day 🤣

[drifting hatch]

Good in winter xD

[steel fjord]

Just the CPU shouldnt be terrible honestly, GPU will be idle

[verbal jacinth]

Why i cant log in to my server ?

[scarlet oyster]

I've looked through threads and I'm not finding a solution here and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated:

My client computer is wired by ethernet to the same switch. lol and I get the exact same error @verbal jacinth just posted. I was seconds away from posting the same screen shot. Edit: To add, this AMP server is succesully running several other (non-steam) game servers. Watching tutorials the server browser shows 'Not Authenticated' and should prompt a token auth but never does. The server console shows 'notifyaccepting connection accedped from: 192.168.0.x'.

[scarlet oyster]

Since 92.154.55.128 doesn't appear to be a local network IP; does the remote server have port 7777 forwarded/open?

[verbal jacinth]

yes

but the server dont detec gamesettings.ini so no querry port

[hidden forge]

afaik, and if the didn't fix it in the meantime, amp seems to be broken rn

[hidden forge]

did you open port 8888/tcp too?

[verbal jacinth]

yes

no

why oppening 8888

[hidden forge]

it's the "new" secondary port added in 1.1

[verbal jacinth]

i oppened 8888 still not working

wtf

[hidden forge]

you are trying to join via server manager, right?

[verbal jacinth]

its oppened 100%

[verbal jacinth]

yes

yeee its working

why i dont see my save ?

[hidden forge]

you need to create or upload one first

[verbal jacinth]

its on the server side

[hidden forge]

did you upload it via the server manager or just transfer the file?

[verbal jacinth]

via ftp

[hidden forge]

then do it with the server manager

[verbal jacinth]

where

[hidden forge]

should be an option somewhere in the save managment screens you are in rn

[verbal jacinth]

this ?

[hidden forge]

no, not windows server manager, satisfactory server manager

[hidden forge]

this here

[verbal jacinth]

aaah mybad

[scarlet oyster]

Is this just known? Any idea if there are workarounds with custom templates? I'm just not seeing anything that points to a solution.

[hidden forge]

had some other users with amp here in the chat
as i don't use it myself i can't say anything about the current state or fixes

[verbal jacinth]

AZnd now i cant lkoad my save :c

[hidden forge]

the server not responding while it loads the save is normal

[verbal jacinth]

its gopood thanks you so much

when i connect i got this error

[hidden forge]

stuck in the loading screen? -> blocked port 8888/tcp

[verbal jacinth]

yes it freeze on loading screen

[hidden forge]

as i said, something is blocking the reliable port 8888/tcp

[verbal jacinth]

so what can i do ?

[hidden forge]

open it in the firewall(s)

[verbal jacinth]

it is

[hidden forge]

apparently not

[verbal jacinth]

but its opn 100%

[hidden forge]

TCP, not UDP

also 8888 is the local port, not remote

and incoming firewall, not outgoing

[verbal jacinth]

fucking chat gpt

tell me to put in udp

[verbal jacinth]

still same problem

[hidden forge]

show firewall rules

all of them (for satis)

[hidden forge]

1. missing 7777/udp
2. you need INCOMING rules with LOCAL ports, not outgoing rules or remote ports

[verbal jacinth]

its incomming rules

[hidden forge]

use the following powershell commands to set them:

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

source: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Windows_3

[verbal jacinth]

still not working

[hidden forge]

any other firewall between you and the server?

[verbal jacinth]

the internet box but all the port have been opened

[hidden forge]

windows network profile set to private or domain?

[verbal jacinth]

where i check that ?

[hidden forge]

network settings

[verbal jacinth]

this ?

[hidden forge]

while you can see what it currently is you need to change it in the network settings

[verbal jacinth]

in the control panelk ?

first time with a windows server

i disable all friewall and still not working

[hidden forge]

no, windows settings. Win+I > Network > Ethernet > your connection > Profile

[hidden forge]

then something else is blocking. did you add any rules on your local PC? Some firewall from the hoster?

[scarlet oyster]

I reached out to a user that noted a similar issue in this thread from last month and followed his work around of just implementing the wolveix docker container outside of AMP and I'm up and running now. frustrating. thanks, at least moved me to a working solution.

[verbal jacinth]

nope

its a "vps" created from a friends server

this ?

[hidden forge]

yes, set it to private

[verbal jacinth]

i test that

[hidden forge]

did you need to create any port forwarding rules then?

[verbal jacinth]

nope

heee tell me he oppened all the port

still same

[hidden forge]

actually "all" the ports or just all somebody told him are required for satisfactory?

also you should maybe censor the public IPs

[verbal jacinth]

i thinks

he will come back soon so i will asking him

[verbal jacinth]

yes my bad

[hidden forge]

please do

[verbal jacinth]

he have to open 7777 and 8888?

[hidden forge]

7777 udp and tcp, 8888 tcp only

[verbal jacinth]

ok im waiting for him

[orchid trail]

Is there a guide on how to create a satisfactory server using true nas?

[hidden forge]

look into the pinned wiki and adapt the linux/docker approach?

[verbal jacinth]

@hidden forge The port operator side is open and still the same error

[steel fjord]

8888 can be both as well btw, my router has a limited number of port forward rule entries so i attempted it to turn two entries into one and had no issues

[hidden forge]

TCP is required. If you want to open more that's up to you

[hidden forge]

Maybe port 8888 is blocked by his ISP then.
You could try changing the port to 7778

[verbal jacinth]

how i change the port ?

[drifting hatch]

Run it with
-Port=7778

Make sure your routers port mappings match the server ports, and the server's firewall needs to be open on the active ports as well

Port mappings required in this case: 7778/tcp 7778/udp 8888/tcp

[south mulch]

I got this exact rpoblem with trying to play in someone elses server and not my own

should I follow the same steps

I load into the respawn sequence thing and if i do anything it send me back to the main menu

@hidden forge

[drifting hatch]

Those are steps for the server

[south mulch]

or yea zetie

oh so what should i do my end?

[drifting hatch]

If the server owner changes that port then when you add the server in your client you simply enter 7778 in the port box

[south mulch]

port for oue server is 30200

our*

[drifting hatch]

and it's all correctly mapped? if not specified the ReliablePort will still be 8888/tcp

[south mulch]

im not sure

[drifting hatch]

So 30200/tdp/udp 8888/tcp

[south mulch]

idk what that means

[drifting hatch]

It's nothing you have to do, it's port mappings that the server needs

[south mulch]

the guys is using a third party thing

[drifting hatch]

Oh okay so it's not self-hosted

[south mulch]

yea

[drifting hatch]

When you add the server in Server Manager in-game, enter 30200 in the port field

[south mulch]

yea i did that and i sometimes load in

but many times i just get the no connection thing

[drifting hatch]

If it works sometimes then it sounds like something flaky with either the server or networking

[south mulch]

idk honest

i wish i did

[drifting hatch]

How many on this server?

[south mulch]

at most like 3 but then theres no chance of me joining

with liker 1500 hour son it

shit load of train as well

[drifting hatch]

Sounds like it's a server problem / overloaded / full / etc

[south mulch]

the owner messed with the coding to increase object limit

casue they exceeded it

[drifting hatch]

If you can't connect when there are 3 in there, either the server is full or it just can't handle another client at a guess

[south mulch]

but even if noone is on there and im js trying to load in it still sometimes doesnt work

[drifting hatch]

Can't rule anything out with more detailed info but assuming your connection is stable, it sounds like something to do with the server

[south mulch]

not sure if it is

[drifting hatch]

Could be other things, networking, could be something at your end, shrug xD

[south mulch]

dedticated servers sucks XD

[drifting hatch]

They're good when they are setup properly 😉

You'd probably need client and server logs when failing to connect to maybe get a hint as to what is wrong

[south mulch]

can I send u them?

[drifting hatch]

If you have them, sure

[south mulch]

give me 5 mins

[drifting hatch]

kk

[hidden forge]

Add "-ReliablePort=XXXX" to the launch arguments

[drifting hatch]

Could try a different ReliablePort as well, assuming the 3rd party service permits different ones

@south mulch ^^

[south mulch]

yea u did it

but what post now

[drifting hatch]

Got there in the end lol

Just right above, what Xeet wrote there

[south mulch]

i can try

[drifting hatch]

and perhaps try something higher than 8888

[south mulch]

30200?

[drifting hatch]

Can't be the same as -Port=

Could be 30201 though

[south mulch]

suggestion?

aight

[drifting hatch]

Firewall needs to be open

If not automatic with that provider

[south mulch]

and how do I do that?

[drifting hatch]

I don't know how the hosting provider works, you mentioned it's a 3rd party service

Control panel?

None of this is done on your client, this is all server-side stuff

[south mulch]

well that doesnt help me

[drifting hatch]

It might do if some sort of blocking is going on to 8888, albeit unlikely if it sometimes works and other times not

[south mulch]

well we shall find out

[drifting hatch]

Going to sleep, good luck! I'm sure Xeet can handle this one 😉

[south mulch]

Xeet!! loll

[hidden forge]

As the client you can't do anything, only the server hoster

[south mulch]

damn-

[brazen goblet]

when my friend tries to join or host a server his game just crashes

it worked fine 30 mins ago

[light ether]

how does the epic games deticated server add on work?

[worldly flint]

Would anyone have an in-depth walkthrough of setting up the steam server? I read a youtube, checked out the wiki and a reddit post, and can't for the life of me get the dang thing to work (Nor can friend)(Steam Dedicated Server)

[hidden forge]

as redundant as it sounds, see the wiki in the pins
or ask here about specific parts where you are stuck

[inner scroll]

Dm'ed you

[silent gorge]

anybody use amp for dedicated server? i have ran a few.. tried to make one and cant get the server to not be "offline" feel like something has changed...

[drifting hatch]

Never used it but it comes up here quite often as problematic xD

[silent gorge]

its been flawless for me forever.. then all of a sudden this time around its just not working 🙁

[drifting hatch]

Can you post some screenshots so I can get a vague idea of the setup?

[silent gorge]

one moment

so theres not much in the way of configs... ive tried using one of my dedicated IP's, multihome with all available, changing ports, disabling firewall on server and clients, fresh installs, ... below is screenshots of the two main config pages, and then the last console entry for boot, and an error i came across reviewing logs

LogSocketsSSL: Warning: Failed to initialize SSL state for Socket HttpRequest
LogHttpListener: Error: Error accepting expected connection [0] SE_NO_ERROR

[drifting hatch]

The screenshots look fine, can't see anything wrong or unusual there

SSL cert might be the problem

Is the system clock correct / synchronised?

(On all systems involved)

[silent gorge]

within 30 seconds of client so should be good

[drifting hatch]

I think the SSL is done over the ReliablePort 8888/tcp, is that definitely open? Can you scan it?

[silent gorge]

I have disabled the firewall completely on server and client

[drifting hatch]

Actually looks like it's done over 7777/tcp

Do you get anything logged on the server when you try to connect?

or is it those SSL related messages above

[silent gorge]

from the client it wont let me connect. server appears offline

going to try a direct join instead see if that pops anything in the console

[drifting hatch]

It sounds like a networking / firewall / ports issue if it's showing offline in server manager

[silent gorge]

thats why i thought but one would think disabling the firewall would rule that out. its wide open and i can use other games hosted on the server without issue

[drifting hatch]

Could be 7777/udp if showing offline / no ping response

Is this server hosted locally on the LAN ?

[silent gorge]

got a connection timeout from the client side. nothing in console

and no its not

[drifting hatch]

One would assume it would be open if the firewall is disabled

[silent gorge]

i also manually made a rule for all apps over 7777 and 8888 just to try ruling that out

[drifting hatch]

If you wish to DM me the IP I can do a port scan on the TCP ports to see if they are chatty

Both 7777/tcp and 8888/tcp are filtered (firewalled) and not accessible

So I assume 7777/udp is also filtered but can't scan UDP

There's a firewall blocking access somewhere

@silent gorge I resumed here so people know what's going on 🙂

Just to confirm the server was running when I did the scan?

[silent gorge]

Yes it was

[drifting hatch]

Both are filtered either way

Won't let me paste the report but something is blocking access

[silent gorge]

rule is allow any over tcp and udp 7777 and 8888

[drifting hatch]

Where is this hosted?

[silent gorge]

datacenter in texas

[drifting hatch]

Is there a higher level firewall, like if it's a VPS, is there a control panel, sometimes there is a provider firewall

[silent gorge]

not a vps. its my own phsical box

shouldn be a provider firewall on my connection but will have to do some research on that one. satisfactory is the only game server being blocked it seems

[drifting hatch]

You could try running it on different ports

Maybe higher level ones

[silent gorge]

last week i tried 27777 and 28888 with same results

ill reach out to them tomorrow and see if they have anything blocking it

thanks for taking the time

[drifting hatch]

Is the server definitely listening on that IP? It should be because the AMP panel is bound to 0.0.0.0 but maybe worth checking netstat / ss for listening ports

[silent gorge]

I had one build where it was using the actual ip instead of 0.0.0.0

each time i have been changing one thing to see if it makes a difference

[drifting hatch]

What's the output of
ss -ln | grep 7777

(Lists listening ports)

[silent gorge]

windows box, don't think grep works

does it?

[drifting hatch]

Oh it's Windows, gotcha

Probably not without WSL or something like that

and the Windows firewall is entirely disabled?

or just rules now added?

[silent gorge]

enabled with the rules... but ill disable it now

[drifting hatch]

There are some examples here:
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Port_forwarding_and_firewall_settings

In the Windows section - to create rules

[silent gorge]

TCP 0.0.0.0:7777 otgdedicated:0 LISTENING

[drifting hatch]

How about UDP

7777/tcp is still showing as filtered so assuming the server is running, there is still a firewall or something blocking access somewhere

[silent gorge]

wait i got distracted sorry

off now

[drifting hatch]

np

Still filtered

[silent gorge]

UDP 0.0.0.0:7777 :
[FactoryServer-Win64-Shipping.exe]

that was what i found for udp

no udp say listening

[drifting hatch]

I think that's okay, it's open for that binary

The main issue is that the tcp ports are blocked

[silent gorge]

let me check one thing real quick

[drifting hatch]

Sure

[silent gorge]

try now

[drifting hatch]

Still the same, filtered/blocked, I'll try 8888

Yep also filtered/blocked :/

IP address 100% correct? xD

[silent gorge]

no luck, going to see if data center has a block on it somehow... appreciate the time and support.. great great help

[drifting hatch]

As you mentioned, have a chat with the provider to double check if anything being blocked at a higher level, but if Icarus was working it also seems less likely

No problem at all, just hope you can find the root cause

[silent gorge]

im going to reenable that one tomorrow too just to verify the port.

appreciate you

[drifting hatch]

Another thing you could try is running the dedicated server manually using SteamCMD (described in the official dedicated server wiki page), just to test if you can access through those ports that way. Then would rule in or out AMP

[silent gorge]

good idea, will try that as well

[drifting hatch]

Let us know the outcome in due course 🙂

[silent gorge]

will do, have a good evening

[drifting hatch]

You too

[hidden forge]

AFAIK AMP is currently broken

[drifting hatch]

Would explain a few things xD

[steady ravine]

Can I use a domain for server address similarly to minecraft?
Something such as play.mydomain.com

[drifting hatch]

Yep

Just a case of setting the A / AAAA records accordingly to your IP

[steady ravine]

Aight preciate

[plain elm]

So I crashed upon trying to join a dedicated server and when I rejoined, I spawned in at the MAM as a brand new character. My character is still there just casually sipping coffee.

Any idea on how to fix this?

[mild thunder]

if you had save inventory on, place down a chest and then use a save editor to move over the items from the old body to the chest, if it was off, then just keep hitting the old body till a chest appears.

[drifting hatch]

Wand-treatment required yea xD

[lime goblet]

Is there anyone that is experienced with setting up a dedicated server locally on their PC that might able to assist me? Idk what is going on, and I have been troubleshooting literally all day and night off and on. I had a server set up a year ago with zero issue. Came back today to set one up so a buddy and me could play, but now, all I get is "Your connection to the host has been lost" pop up after it shows the load screen for a brief time. Other times the game will straight up crash and I have to re launch. I am familar with port forwarding and am pretty confident that is setup correctly. I can connect to the dedicated server using my local ip address with no issue and play, but if I use my public IP address, neither myself or my friends that are outside my local network can connect either.

I would be more than happy to screen share if that would help. I am totally at a loss now. Youtube, google searching, and chatgpt has all failed me so far. I have tried even resetting my modem/ router and resetting things back up. I have removed saves, reinstalled the game/ dedicated server, etc. I honestly don't know what else to try. What is funny is... I can connect using my public IP address in other games dedicated servers that I host like Necesse, Core Keeper, and etc. I am not sure why Satisfactory won't allow inbound external traffic and its making me bang my head on my desk after all my failed troubleshooting 🥹 .

Any suggestions, or assistance would be great! As I mentioned earlier in the message, I can screen share if that helps.

[mild thunder]

sounds like you need to read the wiki, 1.1 added in port 8888 tcp, you might have missed that, common issue of missing that is getting kicked at the loading screen and never loading in.

[drifting hatch]

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

[sacred flame]

I must be going crazy because I can't connect to my server externally, only locally
UDP/TCP 7777, and TCP 8888 is forwarded
UDP/TCP 7777, and TCP 8888 for the firewall for both inbound and outbound are all set to allow

Connecting via local LAN IP works, but public IP doesn't

[drifting hatch]

It's possible your provider is firewalling

Presumably not behind CGNAT?

[sacred flame]

I have absolutely no idea

[drifting hatch]

What's the first half of your IP ?

[hidden forge]

And does the IP at the routers WAN port match whatever online tool says your public IP is?

[sacred flame]

64.147

[drifting hatch]

Seems ok

[sacred flame]

I don't know, it's just set to dynamic ip

[drifting hatch]

DM me your IP if you wish and I'll port scan it

Both TCP ports are filtered (firewalled)

Could be your provider

[sacred flame]

great

[drifting hatch]

You could try different ports, maybe higher level

[sacred flame]

I'm not sure how to change it on the server. it's stuck on 7777

[drifting hatch]

How are you running the server?

[sacred flame]

on a laptop

[drifting hatch]

As in like SteamCMD?

[sacred flame]

I'm opening it directly, not through steam

[drifting hatch]

Like a shortcut?

[sacred flame]

yeah

[drifting hatch]

Can you edit the shortcut and add arguments:
-Port=47777 -ReliablePort=47778

And try opening those ports on the firewall and the router port forwarding

So it would be 47777/tcp 47777/udp 47778/tcp

[hidden forge]

Can you post your firewall rules?

[drifting hatch]

^ might be worth doing that first yea

[sacred flame]

what section exactly?

it's the same for TCP/UDP/8888/in/out

[hidden forge]

First mistake, you need to set LOCAL port, not remote

And remove the outbound

[sacred flame]

weird

what's strange is that I already had it set to local for inbound rules

[hidden forge]

You removed the outbound rules?

[sacred flame]

yeah

those were set to remote

[hidden forge]

Zatie, please test again

[drifting hatch]

Filtered

7777/tcp filtered```

[hidden forge]

Then forwarding rules next please

[sacred flame]

hm?

[sacred flame]

do this now?

[drifting hatch]

Can you post screenshots of the port forwarding as Xeet mentioned?

From your router

[drifting hatch]

Where is the IP specified

[sacred flame]

it's just the local server ip. doesn't matter

LAN IP

[drifting hatch]

Yea where is it set

[sacred flame]

just above

[drifting hatch]

You can paste it if internal it's not accessible on the Internet

It's like a 192.168... ?

[sacred flame]

fair lol. Does it matter though?

yeah

I don't think knowing it would be useful

[drifting hatch]

Need to verify it's correct

[sacred flame]

it is. I gave the laptop a static IP and it's just that IP

[drifting hatch]

Okay well as long as it's 100% correct, will have to take your word for it

What you reckon Xeet, try the diff ports?

Can you right click on the shortcut you run the server with, Properties, and take a screenshot of the Shortcut tab?

[sacred flame]

I mean I have the direct exe too

[drifting hatch]

How do you run the .exe? From command prompt?

[sacred flame]

either shortcut or direct

[drifting hatch]

So put a space after FactoryServer.exe and add on the end:
-Port=47777 -ReliablePort=47778

[lime goblet]

I will try this when I get the chance. Thanks for the advice.

[drifting hatch]

and then the same process again for the firewall and the port mappings
Firewall needs the identical 3 inbound rules, only with those ports instead (47777/TCP 47777/UDP and 47778/TCP)

Port Mappings on the router, same applies

[sacred flame]

I was about to make new rules before I realised I can just edit the ones I have

done

[drifting hatch]

and once the port mappings done re-run the server

if not already

When you connect in-game, enter the port in the box - 47777

[sacred flame]

I don't have a port option, just an ip option

[drifting hatch]

You might need to add the server again in Server Manager

There is a Port field below

[sacred flame]

ah right

ok go tit

[drifting hatch]

Does it work locally?

[sacred flame]

It's pinging

so I assume so

[drifting hatch]

Unfortunately, remote scans are the same - filtered

[sacred flame]

maybe it's because my router's downstream of another?

[drifting hatch]

Oh that's an important detail xD

Downstream of what exactly?

[sacred flame]

another router

regular router

[drifting hatch]

Yes that is a big problem

That upstream router needs to be configured as well

[sacred flame]

damn

both port forwarding?

[drifting hatch]

Yes it needs to port forward to the next router

Why do you have 2 routers out of interest?

[sacred flame]

mine and my dad's networks

why is it like that...I don't know

[drifting hatch]

It's one public IP address?

[sacred flame]

I doubt it. mine's just connected via ethernet, not the modem

[drifting hatch]

Sounds like that primary router needs port mappings as well

[sacred flame]

pointing to my router's IP?

[drifting hatch]

Yep, just to clarify, your router has an internal IP address on both sides?

[lime goblet]

I just tried and got in finally!

I could hug you right now! I had literally 7777, 15000, 157777 all was set as both UDP and TCP and 8888 set as UDP only. I didn’t have 8888 also set as TCP as no video or google search said to… however it did say in the wiki which I guess I missed? Thank you so much!

[drifting hatch]

If you're configuring the other router, you can always consider reverting to standard ports again

[sacred flame]

on mine?

[drifting hatch]

on everything

[sacred flame]

so I'd only have to port forward on that one?

[drifting hatch]

It depends how this is configured

Do you have multiple public IPs and that primary router is statically routing inbounds to your public IP to your router, or are they just chatting on an internal LAN

[hidden forge]

Every part between the server and the internet needs to be configured

[sacred flame]

should just be one IP

[drifting hatch]

Primary router needs to forward those ports to yours

[sacred flame]

just internal?

If it's an internal IP address yea

[sacred flame]

still no luck

[drifting hatch]

One sec just on phone one sec xD

[sacred flame]

take your time. Also, PCP or DMZ?

[drifting hatch]

Without knowing exactly how these routers are configured it's hard to say for sure

Almost done xD

Really need to know how these routers are configured, I doubt it's a DMZ because otherwise your Dad wouldn't be able to do much

Unless you have multiple public IPs and your public is a DMZ to your router

[sacred flame]

well the layout is modem > his > mine > another mine but it's bridged so it acts like one router anyway

[drifting hatch]

Oh boy xD

Why are you bridging a 3rd router?

[sacred flame]

it's in my room that connects my computer and everything via ethernet

though I could just use a switch for that

[drifting hatch]

If you run a traceroute from your PC to say 8.8.8.8, is there an internal hop to the primary router?

[sacred flame]

how do I do that?

[drifting hatch]

Command Prompt

tracert 8.8.8.8

[sacred flame]

uh there's a lot of IPs

I see mine and his and then it goes external

[drifting hatch]

Really interested in the first 1 or 2

[sacred flame]

ok yeah, it's mine then his

[drifting hatch]

Are they both internal IPs ?

[sacred flame]

yup

192s

[drifting hatch]

Okay so on the main router, you need to open port mappings to the internal IP address of your router

It will be different from the trace, which is outbound

Whatever the IP is on your router that your Dad's router talks to

[sacred flame]

yeah I did the UDP TCP and pointed it to my router

gave it a static IP too

[drifting hatch]

Did you revert all back to standard ports?

[sacred flame]

on mine?

[drifting hatch]

On everything

Everything has to match

[sacred flame]

8888/7777?

[drifting hatch]

All the routers, firewalls, everything

Yeah

[sacred flame]

yup

[drifting hatch]

Removed the command line options from the shortcut?

and re-run the server
