yup

drifting hatch
#

So to summarise:
3 port forwarding rules on the main router, forwarding to your router's internal IP address
3 port forwarding rules on your router, forwarding to the laptop
3 inbound firewall rules on the laptop, local ports 7777/tcp 7777/udp 8888/tcp
Command line options removed from the shortcut
Server restarted
Checked in-game that it works on 7777

sacred flame
drifting hatch
#

Looks good

#

and test in-game that you can connect

sacred flame
#

I restarted it again just in case

#

so just waiting for it to start again

drifting hatch
#

Sure

sacred flame
drifting hatch
#

Alright so the firewall is good, the server is running on standard ports, so the focus seems to be on that primary router and forwarding to yours

#

Still showing as filtered so it's yet to be configured right I think

sacred flame
#

ah

#

I see where I messed up

drifting hatch
#

What's the issue?

rotund surge
#

can i join server?

sacred flame
#

wrong mac address. off by a letter

drifting hatch
#

Err, you're doing it by MAC?

sacred flame
#

the address reservation I think

#

not the forwarding

rotund surge
drifting hatch
#

If the two routers chat to eachother with static IPs, I'd do it by IP address

drifting hatch
sacred flame
#

yeah the reserved IP address needed my router's mac but I typed it wrong. the IP was correct through

drifting hatch
#

Hmm, shouldn't need the mac tbh, there is an ARP table used to lookuup hardware addresses

sacred flame
#

not for this lol

#

mine has it

hidden forge
#

MAC for reservation, ARP for communication

sacred flame
#

yeah

#

wait what the heck?

#

my router has two mac addresses?

drifting hatch
#

Well yes, it has multiple interfaces, it's a router

sacred flame
#

guess it was right the first time

#

ah well

#

still, everything should be right

drifting hatch
#

Port scan would disagree

sacred flame
#

well I'm lost

drifting hatch
#

Without screenshots, internal IP addresses, router configuration pages, it's very hard to know exactly what's going on

sacred flame
#

well my router on his router is .131

hidden forge
#

Can you test with your router "external" IP, then your fathers routers external IP?

sacred flame
#

using mine it just fails with no delay. encryption token missing

#

but I guess that's because I'm trying to connect to the router and not my laptop

hidden forge
#

Yeah, don't use "join game", always server manager

sacred flame
#

ah lol

#

ok yeah what works

#

so now I have two servers. one's connected via the laptop and the other's via my router

#

or I guess his router, my router's ip

hidden forge
#

And both work?

sacred flame
#

I think so? but when I tried to change the name they both changed

#

but the pings make sense I think

hidden forge
#

Try to join to test if 8888/TCP work too

sacred flame
#

via the router IP?

#

looks like only 7777 works

hidden forge
#

Ping visible -> 7777/UDP work
Information visible -> 7777/TCP works
Can join game -> 8888/TCP works

sacred flame
#

oh welp

#

I thought you meant putting 8888 into the server creation port

#

but yeah they both work

drifting hatch
#

No joy from the outside though

hidden forge
#

So either forwarding on your father's router does not work, your ISP is blocking these ports, or your IP is not public

sacred flame
#

great

drifting hatch
#

whois database shows it as part of a /20 direct allocation global unicast block

#

Appears to be publically routable and responds to ICMP ECHO

#

Announced as part of a /24 in the BGP table

#

It all looks perfectly usable

sacred flame
#

I can't understand why it's not working

drifting hatch
#

If your provider isn't firewalling inbounds, it has to be something wrong with the internal configuration

sacred flame
#

I don't know what

#

or where

drifting hatch
#

Well it could be your provider, some of them "protect" their customers by doing this sort of thing

#

But mistakes were made with the windows firewall earlier, so without all the screenshots we got no way to validate if there are mistakes elsewhere too

sacred flame
#

I'd have to dm

drifting hatch
#

If it's all internal IP addressing there is no risk posting here

#

Internal IPs are not publically routable or accessible

#

But you can DM if you wish

#

Seeing hardware addresses is no risk either, they are no use to anyone outside the subnet

sacred flame
#

I can still block out MACs

#

but eh idk

#

whatever I guess lol

drifting hatch
#

If you wish but they are only used on the subnet, do whatever you are most comfortable with 🙂

Hello
Popping in with an odd situation and hoping for some advice
So a friend and I have been playing on a dedicated server (he hosts) for a week, everything was going fine. However, today was the first day since I moved that we've played and ran into some issues with port forwarding. Some fixing later and we managed to get things working for 10-15 minutes before the game timed BOTH of us out. The weird thing is, the current state is that I, the client, can connect to the server, but he, the host, cannot. He is seeing "server name pending" and that the server appears to be offline. Any ideas as to what's going on?

#

Ohp, nevermind, we found the issue
His IP changed

drifting hatch
#

Xeet - went through all the settings in detail, bar a few minor errors everything now looks correct, so the only thing I can think of is recommended talking to ISP to see if they are firewalling inbounds

Hello everyone,
I have a Docker on which a Satisfactory server is already running as a container.
I use the following image for this: “wolveix/satisfactory-server:latest”
The following relevant settings have been made:
"environment:
- MAXPLAYERS=4
- MAXOBJECTS=4325376
ports:
- “7777:7777/tcp”
- “7777:7777/udp”
- “8888:8888/tcp”"
This server is running smoothly. But now I need a second container on Docker that also hosts a Satisfactory server. Here I encounter obstacles that are unfamiliar to me.
Despite the adjusted settings
"environment:
- MAXPLAYERS=4
- MAXOBJECTS=4325376
ports:
- “7778:7777/tcp”
- “7778:7777/udp”
- “8889:8888/tcp”"
I cannot log in. I can connect to the server, upload a game score, and start, but I cannot establish a connection.
So I made a few adjustments:
"environment:
- MAXPLAYERS=4
- MAXOBJECTS=4325376
- SATISFACTORY_MULTIHOME="0.0.0.0"
- SATISFACTORY_SERVER_QUERY_PORT="15778"
- SATISFACTORY_BEACON_PORT="15001"
- SATISFACTORY_LISTEN_PORT="7778"
ports:
- “7778:7777/tcp”
- “7778:7777/udp”
- “8889:8888/tcp”
- “15001:15000/udp”
- “15778:15777/udp”"
to also define the query port and beacon port, but I still can't connect. Can anyone help me with this problem?

drifting hatch
#

Beacon/Query ports no longer exist since 1.1

#

Maybe check the networking, create separate networks for each container?

#

In theory that should work

hidden forge
drifting hatch
#

Good point Xeet

hidden forge
#

Set it to 8889:8889 and add the env "SERVERMESSAGINGPORT=8889"

drifting hatch
#

Set the environment variable
- SERVERMESSAGINGPORT=8889

#

^^

#

and:
- '8889:8889/tcp'

hidden forge
#

And for a clean config set 7778:7778 and add "SERVERGAMEPORT=7778" too

drifting hatch
#

And for very clean, get rid of all the beacon/query stuff, and those ports

swift olive
#

Thank you very much. It worked right away. I didn't think it would be so easy in the end.
I have now made the suggested changes, including removing the ports that are no longer needed.

HJas anyone had issues with people joining dedicated servers since the new dedicated server patch a day or so ago?

My friend and I have been playing for about 140 hrs on our server, but since the patch, he can only get on once in say 20-30 tries.

Nothing else has changed. There are no mods and we are using the steam client server.

drifting hatch
#

I haven't encountered any issues with mine, but that doesn't mean something hasn't changed that happens to be affecting your environment

#

Not sure what it could be though, anything in the server log when trying to connect?

silver umbra
#

Just getting it for you, he keeps getting the message -

And sometimes it loads so far then gets connection lost.

#

Just getting it for you, he keeps getting the message -

And sometimes it loads so far then gets connection lost.

drifting hatch
#

Some sort of networking issue, the connection is getting closed/timing out, whether it's the server specifically or networking a little hard to determine

silver umbra
#

This did not happen before the server patch, which is interesting.

The dedicated server is on my home network, and I have f2p, I run 4 other game servers and not one of them have been effected.

drifting hatch
#

Do you self-host?

#

Missed that, home network, gotcha

silver umbra
#

Yes, Ive hosted abotu 5 other satiusfactory servers over the last few years.

drifting hatch
#

You're not experiencing any disconnects on the LAN, just your friend remotely?

silver umbra
#

Nope, its workikng fine for me

#

So until about 15-20 hours ago its been rock solid

#

Game time that is, as I played for about 8 hours last night on my own, as he playes from the US

drifting hatch
#

I'm suspecting networking more if you are rock solid but friend is having trouble maintaining connectivity

silver umbra
#

His main issue is he uses Starlink, so gets disconnected twice a day, which is always hillarious

drifting hatch
#

It happens yea, friend has it too, it's like 99.9% up but there are brief cutouts

silver umbra
drifting hatch
#

Games being very sensitive to that sort of interruption would explain at least some of the disconnects

silver umbra
#

Anyway I was wondering if anyone else had an issue.

Whats interesting is that I started a friends game hosted on my computer and he can join it.

drifting hatch
#

If you wish I can sit in your server for a while and see if I get disconnected

#

But I totally understand if you don't want that

silver umbra
#

No you can join it and see whats happening if you donr mind.

drifting hatch
#

Sure, if you DM me the IP

#

You might wish to delete that first screenshot of the error too, it contains a public IP of someones

#

I get that too initially

#

Port scan is currently showing both 7777/tcp and 8888/tcp as filtered (firewalled)

#

Definitely was the correct IP ?

pulsar echo
#

hey all! Im having some issues, Ive recently set up a dedicated server which is working fine, the problem is that we unlocked blueprints today but somehow when we save them they dont show up.

#

Ive checked my gamefiles in steam since on reddit I saw people talking about this but dont find this blueprints folder

wicked knot
#

Make sure the save file name (session name) doesnt have a space at the end. Most noticeable in the autosaves.

sessionname_autosave is OK, sessionname _autosave isnt

pulsar echo
#

ive managed to change the session name now, lets see if the blueprints are visible

#

not working, so I see the blueprints folder being created when I save it but its empty..

#

Anybody please help, I want to buy dedicated server from a hosting but I have no clue how much ram to choose. I can upgrade both cpu and ram, the base ram is AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, is that good? And well.. how much ram? is 12GB too much? Also we are gonna be 2 players if that makes any difference. We didnt build a lot yet but definitely are planning to

desert thorn
#

Everything I found via Google, points to dedicated servers having issues iwth E in a hypertube stop working after some random event. I am on dedicated host, both players it happens to. Sometimes it fixes itself, usually i have to reconnect.

Is this just an issue with dedicated server code?

If you're building big factories you'll potentially need a decent server

#

CPU demand/memory scales up as the factory does

drifting hatch

Medium-large factory

wise coral
#

Hi! My server won't start :( Can you help me with this, please?

WindowsTerminal_1OyaSd95hv.png
drifting hatch
#

Are you using a VM on say Proxmox?

#

If so try setting the CPU type to Host, also might need more memory

#

brb

wise coral
#

I've increased it to 8 RAM/4 CPU/150 NVMe, I'll check now.

#

This helped thanks

drifting hatch
#

You generally need at least 8GB RAM for a Satis server

#

Especially for a larger factory

#

Also definitely recommend 4 CPUs (depending what they are) maybe even more when things get big

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Host CPU is probably the best choice too

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Is self hosting an option if you have a spare PC

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Normally up to 4 but can be increased

#

You can host the game in your Satisfactory client as well, invite friend if both on Steam, etc

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

You can run the dedicated server on your PC as well as the game, another way, if you have a powerful CPU and decent amount of RAM it should be fine

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Could run the dedicated server, open the firewall and port mappings on your router and he/she can connect that way

wise coral
#

this?

drifting hatch
#

Yea

#

Useful info there too

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

You can connect to the server in Server Manager and upload your save

#

For you it would just be 127.0.0.1 (localhost)

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

In theory, you need to make port mappings on your router, 3 of them forwarding to the local IP address of your computer

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

7777 UDP --> Your local IP port 7777
7777 TCP --> Your local IP port 7777
8888 TCP --> Your local IP port 8888

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Presumably you have a LAN already

#

You can get the local IP of your PC in command prompt
Just type in
ipconfig

#

It's probably one that looks like 192.168......

wise coral
wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Yea so in your router, there should be a port mappings section where you can make those 3 rules

#

Might be called Port Forwarding

# 
Port 7777 Protocol TCP --> 192.168.1.1 Port 7777
Port 8888 Protocol TCP --> 192.168.1.1 Port 8888```
#

And then if you google what is my IP, you'll get your public IP address which your friend will hopefully be able to connect to

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

You might need to check that wiki page I linked, go to the Firewall section - Windows (there are 3 commands there to add firewall rules) if it didn't automatically add theem when you ran the server

#

As long as your provider isn't doing any firewalling / blocking, it should work for your friend. Some people seem to have unknown trouble but hopefully not in your case

#

and then if it works it will save you the money for the server 🙂

#

You may also have a dynamic IP address which could change, just to bear that in mind if friend can't connect in future

#

Simply a case of checking what is my IP again and passing her/him the new IP

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Yes but IP needs to be 192.168.1.1 if that is your PC

wise coral
#

192.168.1.35

drifting hatch
#

Oh okay my mistake

#

Yes that looks good

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

I guess see if friend can connect

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Works?

wise coral
wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Oh just many years of computers xD

wise coral
wise coral
#

my friend cant join

#

VDS is one help

drifting hatch
#

Can you screenshot each of the port mapping rules in detail just so I can check they are all correct?

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

If you can click on each of those two rules you made and there should be the details for them?

#

or like Edit ?

#

Yea seems something is either firewalled or port mappings not correct, let's start by looking at those port mappings in detail if you can get to that

#

You can remove that image, it contains your public IP

wise coral
#

this?

drifting hatch
#

Yep

#

Are you able to translate some of those, like

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Oh okay so single port / port range

#

You can take the left option like you had it

#

Where is the IP specified?

wise coral
#

НорКом - my provider

drifting hatch
#

It looks good, so the firewall on your PC is the next thing to check

#

Did you add those 3 rules from the wiki?

wise coral
#

i did it

drifting hatch
#

Are you happy if I do a port scan to check if those TCP ports are open (harmless)

wise coral
#

my ip

drifting hatch
#

Server running?

wise coral
#

no

drifting hatch
#

Can you run it, need it running to check

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

You can delete those IP addresses if you wish

#

And the image above

#

They both contain your public IP

#

This one has your IP in it too

wise coral
#

i run server

drifting hatch
#

Hmm, both are showing as filtered (firewalled), I'll try in-game but something seems to be blocking

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Could be

wise coral
#

Internet owner

drifting hatch
#

Did you claim the server and do initial setup / upload the save, etc

#

e.g. give it a name, passwords, upload save, and so forth

wise coral
#

yes

#

i try reload pc

drifting hatch
#

Just before that

#

Can you go to run
Win+R
firewall.cpl

#

Click on Advanced Settings

#

Inbound Rules

wise coral
wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Yea it's quite a lot

#

And then in Inbound Rules, do you have those 3 rules with green ticks - "Allow Satisfactory default inbound port ......"

wise coral
#

i reloading pc

drifting hatch
#

I don't think that will help

#

Can you double click on them and go to the Protocols and Ports tab

wise coral
#

A local network will definitely help here.

drifting hatch
#

Take screenshots

#

I don't think you need to reload the operating system 🙂

wise coral
wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Could you translate those two boxes?

drifting hatch
wise coral
#

hmmm

drifting hatch
#

Also screenshot the other rule as well

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Windows Firewall doesn't have a TCP/UDP option so I'm concerned there are only 2 rules

#

Can you make 3 rules like this:

wise coral
drifting hatch
wise coral
#

okey

drifting hatch
#

Take care to ensure they are identical
Protocol
Local Port
All the settings 🙂

wise coral
#

Thank you for trying to help <3

drifting hatch
#

No problem 🙂

#

So you made these 3 rules?

wise coral
drifting hatch
#

Delete the old two

#

And can you screenshot the list

wise coral
#

It seems to me that this is all useless and it is worth stopping at using a local network, since this helped

drifting hatch
#

We just need to make sure everything is correct first

#

Networking is very unforgiving, everything has to be set perfectly correct

#

If you can provide screenshots of the Inbound Rules list and a screenshot of all 3 from the Protocols & Ports tab

#

So I can check everything is right

#

🙂

wise coral
#

I just can't right now, when I have the opportunity, I'll try everything.

drifting hatch
#

Sure, just post back here when you can

#

It's a process and seems like a lot of work but if it works it's worth it, you might need to call your provider and ask if they are firewalling, but first need to get those firewall rules set correctly on your PC

hidden forge
#

Can you tell me the first half of your routers WAN IP?

wise coral
hidden forge
#

External, not internal

wise coral
hidden forge
#

Yeah, probably filtered at the ISP level then

drifting hatch
#

Drop them a tinkle and ask 🙂

Hey guys, I'm kinda hitting a wall right now. I just Updated Satisfactory on my PC and the Dedicated Server (via SteamCMD) aswell. Still getting this message when trying to connect. Any Tips are welcome :/

Hi,
I've tried making a server like I did 2 years ago but using my external IP the client displays "Server name Pending" and nothing happens. I reach the server with my local IP, but cannot if I use my external. I forwarded all the ports I found online, but it was already preconfigured - as I played it 2 years ago - however it does not work as of now. I'm using EPIC, out of ideas.

hidden forge
abstract wagon
#

In the server logs: GameNetDriver FGDSIpNetDriver_2147482185 IpNetDriver listening on port 7777
But it is clearly unreachable

#

Forwarded ports: 7777, 8888, 59172, 15777, 15000

#

Can you make a try? Here is my public IP: 87.97.17.45

#

The server is running

hidden forge
#

Not RN. Maybe @drifting hatch can?

abstract wagon
#

Server logs display this:
NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: [::ffff:127.0.0.1]:54079

#

May I use that port instead?

hidden forge
#

No

#

The SOURCE ports are always random, you only need to forward the TARGET ports

abstract wagon
#

Sure. Thanks 🙂

drifting hatch
#

Both are showing filtered/firewalled

hidden forge
#

You said you forwarded the ports? Did you configure the firewall too?

abstract wagon
#

I'm using Epic and used the Task Manager to locate Server's file path which is:
e:\Games\SatisfactoryDS\Engine\Binaries\Win64\FactoryServer-Win64-Shipping-Cmd.exe

#

I allowed this app in the firewall

drifting hatch
#

Sorry Xeet is this a new case, what is the IP, can you DM it

hidden forge
abstract wagon
#

I tried running the cmd alone but it crashes, possibly there are many missign arguments injected by EPIC (I'm a software engineer, you can hit me with any idea, possibly I can execute them)

drifting hatch
abstract wagon
#

Are these correct? They are among the Inbound rules

image.png
drifting hatch
#

Open each of them up

#

Go to the Ports and Protocols tab

#

Sceeenshot all of them

#

I doubt you need the -cmd.exe rule

abstract wagon
#

They are added with all ports, may I change it to something like this:

image.png
#

And add TCP and UDP separetely?

drifting hatch
#

No that is very wrong

#

Do not specify a remote port

#

That rule will fail

abstract wagon
#

Oh, you are right, this is not forwarding

drifting hatch
#

It's not forwarding

#

Do not spec a remote port*, set it to Any

abstract wagon
#

Is it good?

image.png
drifting hatch
#

Yes xD

abstract wagon
#

And I should add UDP as well, right?

drifting hatch
#

Now make 2 more

#

For 7777 UDP

#

8888 TCP

abstract wagon
#

👍

drifting hatch
#

SS all of the rules on the Ports and Protocols tab

#

All of it

#

You can't take any assumptions with networking, need to see everything, and all things have to be precisely correct

abstract wagon
#

May I also configure them as Outbound rules?

drifting hatch
#

Get rid of this

abstract wagon
#

Tried changing the paths to the exe ending with cmd, but didn't help either

image.png
hidden forge
#

No Ping = At a minimum 7777/UDP is not working. Game won't check further

abstract wagon
#

I have these in the forwarding page of the router:

hidden forge
#

Can you reach https://<your-external-ip>:7777 in a browser?

abstract wagon
#

Nothing shows up

#

But the same applies for

image.png
drifting hatch
#

DM me your public IP and I will scan it

#

My guess as always is filtered

hidden forge
abstract wagon
#

It logged a couple errors, but yes:

image.png
drifting hatch
#

Filtered on 7777/tcp and 8888/tcp

hidden forge
#

Did you add any launch arguments to the server?

abstract wagon
#

I started the non-experimental version

hidden forge
#

Go to the location, start a cmd there, then run the exe directly
Add "-multihome=0.0.0.0 -unattended "

abstract wagon
#

May I reinstall the server? Btw I can connect to it using 127.0.0.1. But not using my ext. ip.

hidden forge
#

Oh, did you add the https in the browser or was it plain http?

abstract wagon
abstract wagon
hidden forge
#

Try explicit https

abstract wagon
#

Works in Localhost, but not with ex. ip:

image.png
hidden forge
#

OK, at least the server is running then xD

abstract wagon
#

Yeah. 😄

hidden forge
#

And with your internal IP? Not localhost

abstract wagon
#

Let me try

#

But not from outside... Can I disable the firewall?

hidden forge
#

Then firewall is probably OK, it's a forwarding issue

#

The internal IP in the forwarding is still correct?

abstract wagon
#

I removed the "external port" settings

#

Wait, it might be ok now.

#

Yes, it works!
Though I disabled my antivirus as well. Need to check what happened.

#

Thank you for the help, the issue is resolved! 🙂
Turned out my antivirus (Avast) has another firewall that blocked the incoming queries from outside. Although I added the exes as exceptions, it only started working when I completely disabled its Firewall feature.

For some reason I see the same :/ It was working fine in the afternoon

But it does not work even for me anymore

I tried reaching the server in my broser using localhost, nothing showed up.

Im having the exact same issue here.
I am running the server on a local linux machine and all the ports are forwarded correctly. I can connect with no issue locally on a windows client. But when my friends try to connect over the internet, I can see them connecting successfully in the console but are immediately disconnected due to timeout.

hidden forge
modest vapor
#

7777 udp&tcp 8888 tcp

hidden forge
#

and they add the server in the server manager and can see everything?

modest vapor
#

yes, they can edit server settings after typing in the password

hidden forge
#

and then time out in the loading screen? they can already hear sounds in the background?

modest vapor
#

yes

hidden forge
#

then something is blocking port 8888/tcp

modest vapor
#

oh ok

hidden forge
#

any kind of port remapping done anywhere in the chain?

modest vapor
#

no i dont think so, never messed with the ports except for this server

hidden forge
#

might be done by your ISP. you can try chaning everything related to port 8888 to 7778 and then launch the server with the argument "-reliableport=7778"

#

you didn't restrict the source port, right?

modest vapor
#

no

#

i have set up minecraft servers on the same machine with port forwarding and it worked just fine so i dont really know

thank you for the insight tho

I'm having an issue getting a dedicated server up and running. I can connect just fine from the same local network, but my friend can't even add the server in server manager. I'm pretty sure that it must be port related on the router, but I've double checked all of the port forwarding options.

abstract wagon
#

I'm still facing the issue with the dedicated server. I run the server flawlessly, but my friends can't join to it. They are using Steam and my server is hosted under Epic. Cross-play is chosen in the settings.

#

They are kicked out of the server when the client loads.
Funny that I see some interactions from them before they get kicked out. Like they move their camera, press V to get resource locations and they even hear the high pitched sound when a node is found. Then they lose connection

#

Do dedicated servers support joining players from different sources of the game?

Anyone able to help out with a DS setup?

Ran on my PC GREAT. Just built a server with nginx hosting using Pteroq/Wings and been having trouble with my DS there. Everytime I try to join, I lose connection.

Confirmed the server is running, ufw has 7777 open for TCP/UDP and 8888 UDP. I'm stumped. 😄

nginx is set up as a stream proxy? NOT http?

Hello, i have dedicated server, and i want to write scripts that would display some information in the chat. I'm also wondering: is it possible to change the text or properties of signs in the world when the server is running and the map is loaded (even when there are players?)? Is there a CLI on the server where I can enter a command to send a message to the chat on behalf of the server or change the text on a sign?

wait you had to open 8888 to join a game or to host a game?

i see this comment "
I had the same problem until I realized I used my Domain A to connect to my server but the mounted wildcard certificate was for Domain B (created with Lets Encrypt). This caused the error for me. After I connected with Domain B everything's worked like expected. If you do not provide your own certificate the game will create a self-signed one for you but I am not sure for which domains this is valid. Hope this helps." but i dont understand

As a client you don't need port forwarding

If you steam deck works at work but not at home that's either your router doing weird stuff or your ISP filtering you

thats the problem. A fresh install works, the update doesnt. And reinstalling every update, seems counterproductive. also that happens of multiple versions, i mean updatering from them

its a steamcmd issue, not really a satisfactory issue

ah, was thinking it might be on the cmds side, wasnt sure so wanted to check if someone here had the same problem.

abstract wagon
# hidden forge sounds a bit like a 7777/UDP issue

I solved this too, finally we're on DS. THe issue was that I either needed to add the non-cmd ending exes to the firewall or configure the forwarding separately (tcp, udp as separate rule instead of tcp/udp). But I can't tell which one helped, because I done both of these as my last attempt.

What does it mean to run a dedicated server as a service, and how would I do that for Satisfactory? I know a limited bit about it. Just looking for some dialogue.

hidden forge
#

"running as a service" means you can run the programm in the background, or the OS runs it for you, allowing you, the user, to log out while it keeps running

#

how you do it depends on the OS you want to run it on

proud tapir
#

Ok, interesting. A brief chat with chatgpt suggests using Task Scheduler as a simpler option. I'm not a complete monkey, but this is new territory for me to learn. It says Task Scheduler is not truly running it as a service, but is functionally very similar. Otherwise I'd need a tool like NSSM.

I'm using Windows btw.

Trying to set up a dedicated server for the first time. I'm running into a really strange issue. When I try to join the game, I experience severe rubber banding. In short, I can move in the world, but eventually I get teleported back to my starting spot. Then, after about a minute, I get kicked due to a connection timeout error.

Here are some of the error logs I'm seeing:

LogNetTraffic: Warning: Notification::ProcessReceivedAcks - Missed Acks: AckedSeq: 11556, OutAckSeq: 11081, FirstMissingSeq: 11082 Count: 219

LogNet: Error: UEngine::BroadcastNetworkFailure: FailureType = ConnectionTimeout, ErrorString = UNetConnection::Tick: Connection TIMED OUT. Closing connection..

I'm running this server using AMP in a Proxmox LXC container. I've configured all of the port forwarding rules and verified they work. Any idea as to what my problem might be?

I've tested this issue over my private network and over the internet and the problem persists.

Don't know, never used amp, but we had multiple Attemps with AMP here and none worked.

Hey everyone - trying to setup a dedicated server. Was able to successfully portforward and server status shows up and running. But when I try joining it loads for a little but then says "Your connection to host has been lost"

I see that as the main solution but I've already done that. Used a port checking tool and it shows the port as open

If you didn't specify the ports using startup arguments, I would suggest to watch the log on startup to make sure that it is using port 8888 and not something else using that port.

Greetings to all. I have a question. What should I do if I turn off the auto pause in the server manager in the game after restarting the server, the setting is reset to true?

I found information that in ServerSettings.ini there is a line:

mAutoPause=False
but I don't even have such a ServerSettings.ini file created. I tried to put it in Game.ini, but it gets overwritten after restarting.

I also tried using the arguments:

and
-ini:Game:[/Script/FactoryGame.FGServerSubsystem]:mAutoPause=False

you have a port re-mapping, either

  • adjust the port forwarding to 8888 internal and external
  • adjust the port forwarding to that the external and internal ports are the same, and set it on the server with "-ReliablePort=YYYY" to the same port
  • inform the server about the re-mapping with "-ExternalReliablePort=ZZZZ". lokal connection will probably not work anymore though
#

the server tells the client the port. and it still thinks it's on 8888 probably

hey guys someone here who can help me with a problem i just made?.. im running a biscet hosting server for satisfactory everything worked fine but i noticed some delays.. turns out bisect gave me a server in the netherlands but im in germany.. so i klicked the switch server location button on the main page.. switched to germany.. now the problem is the console of bisect says: "[Warn]: The server is online but no game is loaded. Please connect ingame to load a Save!" but if i enter ip and port in satisfactory the server says Server name pending Not Authenticated, and normaly in the status tab there is a way to authenticate mit with the admin passwort but there is no button..

hidden forge
#

contact support

steady fiber
#

from hosting ?

hidden forge
#

yeah

steady fiber
#

kk..

#

i hoped someone got the same issue before..

steady fiber
#

well i have a feeling its not an hosing problem.. i can edit server files via FileZilla with no problem.. that means the server is online..

hidden forge
#

something is blocking/wrong with the ports, thats a hosting provider error
also you probably pay for it, so you can request support

mild thunder
#

is it the same port as previously? (my guess would be the server config file might be bugged if it is the same port, if you have permissions could try stopping the server then deleting it then restarting it)

steady fiber
#

yeah yeah thats true @hidden forge theyr "way" to fix it was that he resetted the server back to stock deleting everything i did on there.. (savegames, blueprints..) turns out still dont work..

hidden forge
#

oof

#

tell them to restore the files from a backup

steady fiber
#

i did by myself before give that factory reset a go.. because i know i can get the save back online via the in game server manager..

#

never ever again bisect.. normaly use gportal and theyr servers didnt make any problems at all.. but gportal dont support sftp what makes installing mods a pain..

Howdy Yall! I am not sure why, but my server that I host locally on annother computer next to me is not letting me connect anymore. I am about 150 hours in with no issues recently but now all of a sudden I cannot conncect to it I see on my server computer it is accepting a connection from my PC I am trying to play the game on, but on my end I am only getting this error at this point (see attached screenshot) I removed and re-added the server to the in-game server manager but it has not solved the issue. Restarted steam on both computers, checked port-forwarding. Any suggestions?

image.png
wicked knot
#

make sure the server IP is still the same as the one you entered?

pure fog
#

Yeah, checked it multiple times, tried ipv4 and public ip, still nothing

#

After removing and re-addding the server, it let me authenticate it again, but now it just give me this error after hitting retry a few time

image.png
#

But i do see that the server pc is accepting a connection from my person pc

image.png
wicked knot
#

those are symptoms of the 7777 TCP port closed

#

firewall updates?

#

you can "see" the server via UDP, but it needs TCP for the API

pure fog
#

How would I check that? I have the ports forwarded in my router settings

image.png
wicked knot
#

local net wont go thru router. machine firewalls

#

anything your side of the router doesnt go thru it

pure fog
#

So would that be on my personal pc's side, not the server pc?

wicked knot
#

typically, a computer or router will let anything go out, and only check inbound traffic

#

so the server

pure fog
#

Okay what would I do on that PC to open the 7777 TCP port?

wicked knot
#

depends onteh OS. Windows, maybe I can help, *nix, I got nothing

pure fog
#

I am on windows

wicked knot
#

10?

pure fog
#

Both computers are. server pc is using the steam tool for the dedicated server

My PC is windows 11, Server PC is windows 10

wicked knot
#

server start menu, windows security, firewall ..., allow an app thru firewall

pure fog
#

Apparently I have already done that

image.png
wicked knot
#

have you tried turning it off, and turning it on again?

pure fog
#

The computer?

wicked knot
#

yeah

pure fog
#

I had restarted the server multiple times, let me try restarting the computer now, give me a few

wicked knot
#

just. last line of options I can think of

pure fog
#

Just to check, what IP should I be using when connecting to a server on the same network?

wicked knot
#

the local address of the server. Usually a 192.168.x.x

#

the router assigns the addresses

pure fog
#

Okay I got it working, the server pc restart did nothing, but restarting my personal pc seems to have fixed it, additionally wifi on my personal pc was on even though I was connected via ethernet, so I do not know if that was the issue? But nonetheless thanks for the help brother!

wicked knot
#

wifi can def do that

pure fog
#

So weird... thanks anyways brother, collectively we got to the answer!

# hidden forge Don't know, never used amp, but we had multiple Attemps with AMP here and none w...

Currently using AMP and I am not having any Issues playing(not using the default ports), the only issue I had was installing the mods on the server since sftp between the Mod Manager and AMP seems broken (winscp works fine). Also sadly managing a Server in the mod manager via the Path function doesn't work if the Game is already installed via Steam (Error Game already installed). I am currently installing mods via a virtual machine where only the mod manager is installed an the server folder is downloaded locally via sftp, managed by the mod manager via path and uploaded again using sftp.

(not saying that it wasn't broken in the past, just leaving the comment here to note that it is working currently)

I feel like I'm missing an obvious step.

  • Port forward 7777/TCP, 7777/UDP and 8888/TCP
  • Open those ports in windows defender
  • Run the SDS exe
  • Input the external IP and port 7777 in server manager (on the main menu of the Satisfactory client)

I just keep getting "server offline", but, I am hosting from the same machine I'm playing on, so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing a networking step

so i am running a server using WindowsGSM with no issues. Ports are forwarded correctly and people have connected without issue. GSM allows for multiple servers to be run in tandem and I've done it before with other games. I can get two instances of satisfactory server running in tandem, but can only connect to one of them. the one that I can connect to is always the one that is started first. the servers are on different ports which have both been forwarded (both the "port" and "query port") and are different on both servers (one is 7777, and 15777, the other is 6668 and 15787). Is there any way to have 2 servers running on one machine?

Hey, I just set up a dedicated server with the goal of playing along with some friends who have never played before (SteamCMD failed to install, but the free Epic version installed fine). It's up and running and I can connect fine, but even if "skip onboarding" is set to false, it drops me straight in at tier one with a completed Hub - is that expected, and is it impossible to go through onboarding on a server?

hidden forge
#

Yes it is expected, that's how server saves are currently.
If you want to play the onboarding phase, start a single player save and upload it to the server

soft sierra
#

Ah - that's great, I didn't realise you could work around it like that, many thanks for the suggestion. My friend hasn't got around to playing single player, so telling them they had to do onboarding on their own would probably have stalled the whole process.

Hellooo
I need help with a DS that I just fired up about a couple days ago.
This is my first time me using Satisfactory's Dedicated Server and I'm running into a problem here.
I have the server running on an ubuntu server with the rest of my servers, trying to connect through local IPv4 works perfectly fine but anyone connecting using my public address can't.
The server details does show up when connecting using public IP but trying to connect either gives "Your connection to the host has been lost." or the long TIMED OUT error.
Things I've done are:

  • Restarting the server.
  • Restarting the internet.
  • Checking Port Forwarding
  • Checking Firewall
  • Increasing the time out value in Game.ini
    I have port 7777, 8888, 15000, 15777, 27777 all port forwarded and allowed through ufw (TCP and UDP).
    Here is my ss -plnut | grep FactoryServer if it helps
udp   UNCONN 0      0                                           0.0.0.0:7777       0.0.0.0:*    users:(("FactoryServerL",pid=1638751,fd=14))

(("FactoryServerL",pid=1638751,fd=15)) ```
I need this fixed pretty quickly as more of my friends will start to flood in and playing through steam friends list won't cut it this weekend. Thank you.

Yeah, that is going to complicate things. You may need to contact their support as well

At any rate, once the host has their system configured, they need to get the "session ID" code form that same panel, and send to you via chat

#

ive tryed using the ip of the host but i just got errors

that is the most complicated way, requires port forwarding and all that, and not much documentation on it from the devs

hey guys, my server has been working for about 8 months 24/7 without any problem (using my 2nd pc for hosting the server) and suddenly I'm getting this error from the screenshot, what's going on? the server is running as shown, I played a couple of hours ago without any problems

restarting the server didn't help

image.png
proud depot
#

Update: managed to make it work

First step: stop the satisfactory server
Then follow the rest:

apparently there's a service that wasn't running for me, it's checked in CMD (opened via administrator access), you can check it by typing

w32tm /query /status

then for me, it said "The following error occurred: The service has not been started. (0x80070426)"

afterwards in the same CMD, I typed the commands as follows:

sc config w32time start= auto
net start w32time

Output: The Windows Time service was started successfully.

then

w32tm /resync

if it doesn't want to work, try

w32tm /config /update
w32tm /resync

then verify the service is running via

w32tm /query /status

output should print about 9-10 lines in CMD (leap indicator, stratum...), that means it's running, now restart the PC (don't start the server before restarting the PC!)
and after you restart the PC, start the server and it should work now, at least that worked for me, not sure if the restart itself fixed the thing or the restart + starting that service fixed the thing, but now it works properly again

hidden forge

so your time was out of sync?

Heya, I'm currently running a Dedicated Satisfactory Server locally over Unraid/Docker. I'm running into some "Performance" issues that are quite annoying and wanted to ask if theres anything I could do to fix it or atleast smooth it out a bit more.
Mainly Projectiles from Monsters seem to be laggy and are stuttering while flying. Also Sliding into Jumping seems to be more unresponsive sometimes than in Singleplayer. Even though my Server and I are in the same network and I'm using ist local IP I still seem to have 10-30ms Ping? Everything else seems to run smoothly.

TPS is stable at 30 and my CPU Cores also seems to hover at like 5-20% utilization. I'm running a i3-1220p with 32gb ram and nothing really else is running on the server rn.

hi im trying to change the network quality settings in engine.ini game.ini and scability.ini

i see that there is 3 sections for engine.ini, and when looking in the engine.ini in the docker container file it also has 3 sections but the bottom 2 are different (steamsockets and socketsubsystems instead of onlinesubsystemutils and socketsubsystemsepic) engine.plyaer is the same though

should i replace all 3 with the website one or just add the website config to the bottom and leave the others untouched?

#

^^^ this is the default

#

[/Script/Engine.Player]
ConfiguredInternetSpeed=104857600
ConfiguredLanSpeed=104857600

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
MaxClientRate=104857600
MaxInternetClientRate=104857600

[/Script/SocketSubsystemEpic.EpicNetDriver]
MaxClientRate=104857600
MaxInternetClientRate=104857600

the website is asking me to add these but idk if i should replace all 3 or just the engine.player one and keep the bottom 2

#

also idk if i should change the bottom 2 to the new values as well

#

i just found out one of them was at the top

#

ig i'll just keep it where it is and just replace it with the website config and add the epicnetdriver section too

#

if you guys know whether or not i should change the socket stuff to the higher value too that would be greatly appreciated

#

welp i just increased all of them to the same value

if anyone is able to help, I setup my server following the guide on a windows server I have in my house, and tried to connect to it on my local PC via the server manager, and I got the "failed to connect to server API" error, and when I try to use join game it gives me the encryption error.

do I need to install steam on my my windows server. I installed just steamcmd

mild thunder
#

did you use the ingame server manager to connect to your server?

south eagle
#

yup, that's what it shows

mild thunder
#

if using default ports, did you open 7777 tcp/udp and 8888 tcp

south eagle
#

I did 7777, let me also add 8888

#

no luck

mild thunder
#

you did 2 rules in windows one for tcp and one for udp for port 7777, that is the port that controls the info for that info screen

south eagle

yeah, any way I can double check that?

if you search for firewall, it might call it windows defender firewall with advanced security (im not infront of a server right now)

what do I need to do as far as the config file goes to put satisfactory behind nginx?

twilit fox
hidden forge
#

If you want, otherwise the server uses a self-signed one
Keep in mind that the server must hold the certificate, not nginx

twilit fox
#

Mmm.. that's quite different from my webservers.. the webserver itself doesn't hold the certs.. the reverse proxy infront of it does. so I'll just leave the self-signed cert it comes with.

hidden forge
#

satisfactory is not a website ^^

twilit fox
#

so for a config, I'm looking at something like this?

worker_processes auto;

events { worker_connections 2048; }

stream {
    upstream tcp_backend { server satisfactoryhost:7777; }
    upstream udp_backend { server satisfactoryhost:8000; }

    server {
        listen 0.0.0.0:7777;
        proxy_pass tcp_backend;
    }

    server {
        listen 0.0.0.0:8000 udp reuseport;
        proxy_pass udp_backend;
    }
}
#

it is not, which makes it a new exciting thing to try to proxy

hidden forge
#

no, you need two 7777, one for tcp, one for udp, and a 8888 tcp

twilit fox
#

oh yeah.. that's right. I remembered having to do that for ufw xD

hidden forge
#

should be something like this:```nginx
server {
listen 7777;
listen [::]:7777;
proxy_pass server_base;
}

server {
listen 7777 udp reuseport;
listen [::]:7777 udp reuseport;
proxy_pass server_base;
}

server {
listen 8888;
listen [::]:8888;

    proxy_pass server_reliable;

Hi there, I got some support last night, was able to get my server running, and I can join it, and 1 other friend can join it, but our third friend can't join it for some reason and is getting a "connection timeout" error. This is what I see on the server side. I've already adjusted the connection timeout setting to be 240 and 200.

image.png image.png
twilit fox
#

disable ipv6?

#

I'm not sure if connection timeout matters... from my understanding that's how long the server waits for a reply before declaring the connection dead.

#

so 30 seconds for that or whatever the default is would be fine.

hidden forge
#

probably something on their end blocking the reliableport

#

is the other friend that can join also from outside your server network?

twilit fox
#

noted. I've got ipv6 disabled on mine because my isp doesn't provide a ipv6 wan xD

south eagle
#

this is what I saw on the wiki, so I assumed I could just crank that up to help

image.png
hidden forge
# south eagle yes

then it's 99% an issue at their end/with their ISP
not much you can do

#

you can try changing the reliableport to 7778 or something in the 16k+ range

south eagle
#

hmmmm okay. I would need to change that in the config, the windows server, and my router correct?

hidden forge
#

or you can set the "ExternalReliablePort" parameter and just change the port forwarding
will probably break local connections though

my memory is a bit fogged, i just know its on the server end

my goal is also for my friends to be able to join aswell

if your network settings change, itll spawn a new body, if they reset to the old settings then the body you are playing on goes crosslegged and you take over the other body

#

easy answer is kill the body, itll drop a lootbox with all contents of inventory

#

itll respawn at the hub, so if you ever respawn at the hub you know it happned

#

as for Proffesor, youll need to know how to open ports for gaming on the server

#

itll be a network settings issue on the host PC

yeah i ran into it a lot when connecting to the internet on my PC with tethering from my phone. it would move me to a new location every time. If i manually edited my IP on my phones wifi to be set, the issue dissapeared

Proffesor are you running a windows host machine?

pine marsh
#

if you are referring to opening ports 7777 and 8888 in firewall on host pc that has been done

#

yes

rustic matrix
#

Is that the port you are using to connect on?

mild thunder
#

cert not yet valid, probably means, time on server is incorrect, either via the time zone being wrong or the actual time

def worth a quick reconnect there, only takes a sec.

start there

pine marsh
#

crap i didnt even notice that at first i just threw my old pc parts in a case and threw windows on it and started tinkering with this

#

after the timezone, and time have been updated, you will need to delete the server settings file after stopping the server, then restart it to regenerate the cert

pine marsh
#

same issue after deleting save

rustic matrix
#

did you use muiltihome to launch?

#

does the server game version match your local version

#

and its ports 7777 and 15000

pine marsh
#

i thought it was 7777 and 8888 default

mild thunder
#

it is 7777 tcp/udp and 8888 tcp

pine marsh
#

whats the 15000 then

mild thunder
#

pre 1.0, so no longer needed

pine marsh
#

then yes that is how it is set up in firewall and port forwarding on my router

ah then mistaken info from my end my bad
