dedicated-servers

[queen bone]

I still have hope in humanity 😄

[worldly iris]

Fair, but be prepared for the great let-down!

[queen bone]

I'm just dropping the link for people who want it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[woeful sky]

Part of that still requires the OS to paste it in the desired format.

[bleak flare]

Just wait some days and some people do fantastic YT Videos 😄

[woeful sky]

Which, no, is not always the case - which I can tell from own experience.

[worldly iris]

There isnt a person here that doesnt have a windows machine close by!

[oak steeple]

someone of you having issues aligning coal power plants too ? cant seem to align them at same row

is there a way to turn off auto snapping ?

[worldly iris]

The video already out, al;ong with the wiki, answers everything

[snow belfry]

you just suck at placing stuff 😄 (he is my brother i am allowed to talk to him like that)

[worldly iris]

Find a proper channel

[oak steeple]

Well i am on dedicated server so xD

[worldly iris]

Youre also in idiot

[snow belfry]

dude whats wrong with you ?

bit more nice

[oak steeple]

he needs a girl

[worldly iris]

Be a bit more intelligent

[oak steeple]

typical kiddo 😉 let some adult answer my question

[queen bone]

that's a yikes

[wise crystal]

Oh good, it's this kind of channel.

[worldly iris]

If your not smart enough to find a proper channel then your problem is clear

[wise crystal]

Yeah screw this place. I've played enough CoD multiplayer for one lifetime.

[worldly iris]

[quick mist]

"you're" since you're talking about not being smart enough.

[oak steeple]

its pretty clear, i may did a mistake because of the channel, THAT doesnt give you the right to insult

[queen bone]

There's nice people here

[tacit finch]

@oak steeple he's actually correct...this channel is for dedicated server related questions. Not Gameplay related.

[slim spoke]

how is abusing him over his question making u superior

[oak steeple]

i agree

[green summit]

That said, the rudeness is uncalled for

[arctic shuttle]

Stay on topic please.

[tacit finch]

Not going to say the the rudeness was ok

[snow belfry]

its not like the first time ever someone went off topic.. you dont need to be a dick about it. I would rather talk to someone stupid than a bully

[green summit]

Just tag the correct channel and move on

[tacit finch]

*that the

[slim spoke]

thought moving mouse it didnt snap til u use ctrl

[arctic shuttle]

Dedicated server discussions only please.

[worldly iris]

I didnt moron... not until he tried to defend the stupidity

[green summit]

#old-questions-and-help

[arctic shuttle]

👆

[green summit]

You need to relax

[quick mist]

Okay, blocking and moving on with my life.

[nova rose]

can you stop with the namecalling already? it just makes you look, well, less than intelligent

[slim spoke]

who made u all the boss

[tacit finch]

Everyone relaxes now a bit

[slim spoke]

its answering a simple question

[oak steeple]

oh nice didnt know i could block thx

[worldly iris]

You need to stop pretending youre someone that has any business defining who I am!

[arctic shuttle]

And.... block, moving on.

[green summit]

Youre doing a great job of that yourself

[unique plover]

Dedicated servers sure are nice to have! I wonder how long until we get adds from server hosts for satisfactory servers 🤔

[tacit finch]

ok....seems like he wants to be blocked...

[worldly iris]

Think before you type!

[scenic wyvern]

Hi guys, everytime i reconnect on my serv' i'm a new player and i have to find my previous one to kill him and take my inventory back... pretty annoying, having same issue ? solved ? 🙂

[arctic shuttle]

I’m hoping to be setting up a long term server

[slim spoke]

people were selling servers before they even released

[snow belfry]

you are on a fast way to get banned mate.. so just chill a bit

[slim spoke]

months ago

[snow belfry]

and stop insulting people

[worldly iris]

https://tenor.com/view/violin-tiny-cute-gif-15898508

[quick mist]

I have not had this issue. Anything interesting in the logs?

[tacit finch]

First Person to get blocked on this Discord by me 😄

[nova rose]

@unique plover I think the first companies already have support for it, but I think most will wait until stable probably before throwing ads at you

[snow belfry]

other than bots ?

[arctic shuttle]

I suppose the hardware requirements will be similar to individual servers.?

[tacit finch]

Nope didn't block the bots

didnt see the point in it

[unique plover]

Since it already supports Linux, I guess companies just spin up new VMs ready with satisfactory and port forward... though aren't the ports fixed?

[worldly iris]

It would have been nice for hardware requirements to have been documented, but UE game servers are all pretty light

[tacit finch]

a Multicore CPU + 6GB ram or more and 40Gb space and you're good to go

[queen bone]

I don't have this issue

[green summit]

This has happened to me withiut dedicated servers. Had to use a save editor to delete player spawns to fix. Not a dedicated issue specifically

[arctic shuttle]

And I wonder how many players we can push the limits up to 😉

[reef gull]

I think udp/7777 is for now

[tardy orchid]

i alredy ran this twice but it still says my game versions are uncompatible any advice ??

cd D:\ServerData\Amy\Satisfactory\satisfactorydedicatedserver
FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended```

[worldly iris]

Depends totally on hardware

[queen bone]

did you update your game ?

[tacit finch]

Some people here who want to stress test my Server ? 😄

Could use 5-6 people

[arctic shuttle]

So a 24 core, 64 GB ram machine.... maybe 10 players?

[full vector]

The steamcmd command needs to include the +force_install_dir to point to the installation, or it wont find it to update it

[queen bone]

I can 😄

[tacit finch]

if multithreading is fixed

[tardy orchid]

im playing over epic and i veryfied it yes

[worldly iris]

Core count doesnt matter as much as speed

[atomic pasture]

Anyone has a clue to why my server is crashing as soon as i try to join it? Was playing for like 3 hours earlier and now it just gives me a bunch of errors that i have no clue what they mean.

[queen bone]

Have you tried deleting everything an reruning the steamcmd ?

[green summit]

Single threaded yall. Core count not as important as speed.

[tacit finch]

The Server is intended to be multithreaded

But its bugged right now

[blissful osprey]

When was the last time you updated it?

[green summit]

Well thats nice.

Hoping do get access to the bits without steam

[atomic pasture]

i just checked for updates and it said it's up to date

[green summit]

They mentioned a container but havent seen it yet.

[tacit finch]

More People for Stress Test?

[worldly iris]

There is no need for steam, follw the wiki

[snow belfry]

i am assuming you are actually launching the exp version ? 😄

[tardy orchid]

@queen bone it still says my versions are not compatible

[worldly iris]

That doesnt answer the question

[snow belfry]

why is it trying to run force install dir after you updated ?

[tardy orchid]

im new to steam cmd so im sorry if i fail at this xD

[snow belfry]

thats why i hate when people jsut copy paste commands instead of actually understanding 🙂

so what the command you paste does is the following:

"steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +quit"

steamcmd launches steamcmd

login anonymous

logs in into steam with anonymous

force_install_dir ./satis/ sets the install dir to satis in your steamcmd folder

app_update 1690800 installs the app or updates it

[vocal jungle]

did they kill the looking for group channel

[snow belfry]

so once that is done.. you can close steamcmd

you do not use steamcmd to start the server

[stiff chasm]

#looking-for-group-old

[vocal jungle]

it was not there a sec ago lol

[worldly iris]

Consistency... your examples show 2 different commands

[snow belfry]

to start the server you go into your windows command line, (CMD) and start the server with FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

[worldly iris]

+force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer

And

force_install_dir ./satis/

[snow belfry]

or use a bat file, which we should not upload here.. dangerous if you don't check bat files

yeah its different but my way def sets the directory where you want it

[fluid turret]

Discord does previews for text files

[fervent spire]

So joining a server with a i guess relativly big save takes like several minutes, is there some settings or things to speed this process up?

[worldly iris]

I know that, you know that, but some total steamcmd virgin doesnt know that

[queen bone]

I guess not it's just like loading your save solo

[gentle bison]

whats the server specs

[fickle zinc]

need moar powah

[snow belfry]

okay lets see if i am allowed : @tardy orchid this file starts the server it has to be in the folder with the FactoryServer.exe

[fervent spire]

4core / 16gig amd

[snow belfry]

server start bat file

[fluid turret]

On first load it will use a lot of ram and will take longer, it will also take a while for clients to load in but after it is up loading in gets faster.

[worldly iris]

That doesnt tell us anything

[bleak salmon]

does anyone know a fix to this? i cant join my own server

[gentle bison]

keep refreshing

happens to me too

[snow belfry]

@tardy orchid if you need more help pm me

[tardy orchid]

@snow belfry it works now TY

[worldly iris]

Core count means nothing, speed is whats important. and your are VERY limited on RAM, and whats your internet speed?

[snow belfry]

NP

[fluid turret]

16 gb is more than enough as long as you have 6gb ram available, what CPU do you have?

[bleak salmon]

sure? i dont think it will fix it lol

[vocal jungle]

message me to test no cost build server for address

[worldly iris]

Not really... that 16 is being overly stressed by OS, the client, other crap running, AND the server that needs at least 6

[fervent spire]

so my friend is hosting in da cloud, so i dont have the exact specs but both of us are like waiting for 5min+ now in the loading screen with the funny messages

[gentle bison]

also you're trying to connect on localhost, from what I've seen you might have to forward your ports out and connect through your actual ip

[bleak salmon]

how do i do that?

[worldly iris]

Many people cant

[gentle bison]

look up port forwarding on youtube, its in your router settings

[worldly iris]

Most routers prevent it

[bleak salmon]

ohh alright

[slim spoke]

u can use local host

[fluid turret]

As I literally just said as long as you have 6gb available for initial load you are fine 99% of the time. I loaded a 100mb save file and it took 6gb initial load but reload it was stable at 1.5gb.

[bleak salmon]

so how do i make it work with localhost?

[snow belfry]

localhost does work, if it still needs ips forwarded i dont know, that said.. he needs to forward ports anyway, and he does not know how, thats when i stopped helping, because thats too much work for me 😄 finding out his isp router, and looking up the frikkin menu 😄

[dense grotto]

i'm not getting the config files in saves

[worldly iris]

Yes, but the vast majority of peopel asking for help here have no clue what that means

[slim spoke]

make sure server is setup like wiki says

[atomic pasture]

im getting that even from using my public ip or if my friend tries to join. Then the server just shuts down

[slim spoke]

if ur on the comp with the dedi then use 127.0.0.1

[vocal jungle]

did to do the intitial setup for first load and create a game ?

[gentle bison]

🤷‍♂️ havent run into that issue so I have no idea what to tell you

[worldly iris]

How many people were on when it was running at 1.5gig?

[dense grotto]

oh wait is the config in saved folder with server.exe or appdata?

[fervent spire]

ram wise server seem to use ~7Gb of 16Gb atm so that seems to be fine. the processor is amd epyc 4 core at 2.2Ghz and indeed it seem to be going load on 1 core not really utilizing the other

[fluid turret]

I had 4 local connections on it

[worldly iris]

2.2Ghz is going to be one the very slow side

[atomic pasture]

yeap, played on the server for like 3 hours. Restarted the server and now i can't join. Tried to make a new server and all. But the same issue

[fluid turret]

Its weird I know but thats what happened and I am investigating how its so much lower after initial load.

[worldly iris]

Hmm... Ill have to look at mine more. I started a new world and ran around 9gig with 2 people

[gentle bison]

sheeesh

[fervent spire]

yeah its in the cloud, so we are now going to get something better performing

[vocal jungle]

didnt know there was a 4 core epic

[fluid turret]

What was the speed of the ram?

[fervent spire]

i didnt know either, its the cloud so maybe its some shared resources there ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vocal jungle]

must be

[worldly iris]

Its an old R710... DDR2-2300

[fluid turret]

Well then

thats your problem lol DDR2? The Fuck

[snow belfry]

OUCH

[fluid turret]

I thought my old PC with DDR3-1333 was bad

[snow belfry]

i did not know they still exist

[worldly iris]

RAM speed has never effected RAM usage for anything running UE

[fluid turret]

Nevermind speed dude

efficiency

[worldly iris]

You clearly have no experience with UE engine servers

[snow belfry]

but the transfer rate of DDR2 can reach 533~800 MT/

The transfer rate of DDR4 is 2133~3200 MT/s

😄 so what you think^^

[fluid turret]

You are going to tell me there are no efficiency improvements between DDR2 and 4, completely disregarding speed and capacity there is a massive difference.

[worldly iris]

Definitely its slower. But RAM utilization under UE is really fairly minimal

[snow belfry]

well we know the server actually uses quite a bit, people here tested satis server and all say 8gb is the sweet spot that works

[fluid turret]

Anyways I have DDR4-3200 so I'd say that plays a role, in some way or another

[snow belfry]

and thats usually with ddr4

[bleak salmon]

@snow belfry when i connect a port, do i select my pc or localhost?

[worldly iris]

RAM speed doesnt change whats stored in RAM

[bleak salmon]

cant rly describe it lol

[mellow thicket]

Cant wait to host on this:

[gentle bison]

I'm running on a linux ovh box, 64gb, ryzen 7 5800x, can't say I've had performance issues

[snow belfry]

your sentence does not make sense, if you want to connect to your game, you can connect to 127.0.0.1 because you are running the server on your pc

[gentle bison]

connections can be a little weird sometimes though

[snow belfry]

other people need your public ip, which you can find here :

[queen bone]

wow ovh has ryzen servers ?

[worldly iris]

Again, yes, DDR2 is much slower thatn DDR4. But $gig of stored data is 4Gig of stored data, no matter how fast or slow its moved

[fluid turret]

So overkill, I love it

[snow belfry]

https://whatismyipaddress.com

[bleak salmon]

no im doing the port forwarding thing rn

[mellow thicket]

Hoping to comfortably host 10 players..

[gentle bison]

yessir, ovh game 2 is what we have, but we also run a fivem server off of it too

[snow belfry]

yeah you select your machine and then forward the ports

[bleak salmon]

alright thanks

[fluid turret]

bro it could host 100 on a massive save file

The kicker is the CPU if there are lots of vehicles

vehicles eat CPU for breakfast

[snow belfry]

install linux !!! 😄 windows server ?!?! you crazy ? 😄

[gentle bison]

linux is the way

[mellow thicket]

HyperV

I can just create a beast Linux server

[fluid turret]

now I am confused

[worldly iris]

That set of machines has ran a top 10 Ark server cluster for years, and ran the #1 Atlas server for most of the life of Atlas. They are VERY capable machines for UE engine based servers! And its running Sati great too. Just hungry for RAM. But when you have 256gig it really doesnt amtter

[snow belfry]

okay got it

[gentle bison]

I really liked atlas

[mellow thicket]

any word on Mods?

[fluid turret]

Be patient

[snow belfry]

i did as well, cant play on official tho^^ way to full

[fluid turret]

those are the words

[gentle bison]

I tried to run update 5 with mods but it just crashes the game on startup

[mellow thicket]

With the same mods on server AND client?

[worldly iris]

Ya, its too bad its new devs destroyed it

[gentle bison]

I couldnt even start the game lol

like couldnt even get to main menu

[snow belfry]

they waiting on headers from css, and then client support comes first

[fluid turret]

he is talking about mods just on U5 client dont work

nevermind on dedi

[mellow thicket]

ah

[snow belfry]

as you can imagine css is quite busy at the moment ofc 😄

[fluid turret]

which is a whole other ballgame

[gentle bison]

yeah if you cant even get to the menu with mods, connecting to a server is out of question

[gentle bison]

I usually played on boosted/modded

[mellow thicket]

haven't played in a few months. Didn't know that about U5

My server is on a 2GB google fiber service too

pumped..

[gentle bison]

it just got pushed to experimental yesterday

[tacit finch]

Does someone else have weird issues with ressouces on belts too?

[full cipher]

ever since i started playing

[tacit finch]

https://i.imgur.com/5uoZiCp.png ressources appear way to late and vanish way to slow

[nova rose]

yes, I have that as well, but I remember having that before as well on multiplayer games, seems a graphical glitch, the resources are going through, you just don't see htem properly

[bleak salmon]

what do i have to put in adress and port again? i forgot :/

[snow belfry]

in the game ?

[bleak salmon]

yes

[snow belfry]

127.0.0.1 for you only (others use your public ip: https://whatismyipaddress.com)

port leave standard

[fluid turret]

leave the port, the default is 15777

[snow belfry]

your avatar looks like the substance logo 😄

[bleak salmon]

yeah damn still doesnt work. i did port forwarding for my pc but i probably have to do something else

[tacit finch]

Scalability.ini
[NetworkQuality@3]
TotalNetBandwidth=104857600
MaxDynamicBandwidth=104857600
MinDynamicBandwidth=10485760

Values to low?

[fluid turret]

kinda

[fluid turret]

No?

[snow belfry]

show screenshot of your forwarded ports, and ofc black out sensitive stuff

like your ip or computer name etc

[fluid turret]

best to DM

[nova rose]

but are you running the dedicated server on your local pc?

[bleak salmon]

yea one sec

[bleak salmon]

like in my router options right?

[fluid turret]

DM me @nova rose

[tacit finch]

yeah post them

Lemme say hello to you 😄

[fluid turret]

no

he is a sweet baby boy dont tease him

[snow belfry]

message @fluid turret

[bleak salmon]

alright ill pm u

[tacit finch]

xD

[snow belfry]

you think he would not have blacked out stuff ?

i mean possible^^ but i did tell him to black out stuff

[sudden summit]

Hey guys, tryna setup dedicated server on my pc and getting this [Windows]
Failed to initialize Steam, this could be due to a Steam server and client running on the same machine.

[fluid turret]

there is always something someone forgets when taking screenshots

[flint kraken]

nice!

[fluid turret]

Last I checked thats one of the errors to ignore unless the server is actually not working.

[north solar]

Hello guys. Is there any option to set up an autosave interval on the dedicated servers?

[sudden summit]

How do I know if it's working - the cmdline shuts down after this, it does have additional errors too

[snow belfry]

well if window does not stay open it does not work ofc

what were your steps ?

[sudden summit]

This follows the above error

LogWindows: Error: Fatal error: [File:D:/ws/SB-160502110050-fad/UE4/Games/FactoryGame/Source/FactoryGame/Private/Server/FGServerQuerySocket.cpp] [Line: 29]
LogWindows: Error: Could not bind to port '15777'. Server cannot continue initialization.

[snow belfry]

you did the steamcmd way right ?

[sudden summit]

Yep, followed official documentation

Then used steamcmd to install satisfactory dedicated server files

[snow belfry]

Error: Could not bind to port '15777'. Server cannot continue initialization this looks like the problem not the steam one

[sudden summit]

The port is forwarded on my router, any ideas?

[tacit finch]

Servers are petty little things

They dont like to share their ports

[sudden summit]

Sure are

[nova rose]

that is not a router thing, that is most definitely a computer thing

[sudden summit]

Okay, any ideas on how to fix that on my PC then?

[worthy fractal]

maybe the port is already in use by something else?

[tacit finch]

Yep kill the software which uses port 15777

[nova rose]

did you get the popup to allow it to use the network?

[snow belfry]

yeah something uses that port is what i also think

[sudden summit]

And do you have any idea on how I can view which ports are in use by which programs?

[nova rose]

something uses the port, or your firewall is like, nope, this program is not allowed to use the network

[snow belfry]

so either change the port with command line override or kill that what uses the port

[sudden summit]

Firewall disabled

[snow belfry]

easiest way is honestly the override to see if its a problem

[sudden summit]

What's the commandline argument to change port?

[worldly iris]

Look at the wiki

[snow belfry]

-ServerQueryPort=

then the port

[fluid turret]

I am trying to get the server to work in WSL, seems like there is a problem with WSL network connecting to the outer realm, any ideas?

[snow belfry]

you have to add that to the launch

[sudden summit]

Thank you, I will try that now!

[snow belfry]

ofc dont forget to add a number 😉

[north solar]

Hello guys. Is there any option to set up an autosave interval on the dedicated servers?

[snow belfry]

FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended -ServerQueryPort=15778
for example should do the trick

[open grail]

excuse me guys ? whats the différence between dedicated server and the multiplayer before the update? with the dedicated server my friends can play when i'm offline ?

[snow belfry]

basically yes

and you have more performance because you do not have to do the server stuff

[fluid turret]

Normal multiplayer is P2P right @snow belfry ?

[mellow thicket]

so, are the override ports needed?

[open grail]

kk i'm gonna try that ^^

[snow belfry]

no it was just in his case because his port was blocked

by something else

[fluid turret]

Honestly dude running dedi on my gaming machine is better than the P2P it makes no sense lol

[tacit finch]

was there already a dedicated server update?

[fluid turret]

there was a hotfix yesterday yes

[mellow thicket]

I meant in general.. are ports needed on the override section? 2222,3333,4444?

[snow belfry]

those ports are example numbers 😄

[sudden summit]

It's now working perfectly, thanks so much

[snow belfry]

np

[fluid turret]

maybe I should change that part in the wiki

[snow belfry]

remember to change the port ingame to that port now

[sudden summit]

Will do:)

[snow belfry]

because ingame will still try to connect you to 15777 instead of 15778

[snow belfry]

yeah and please add a section to explain the commands 😄

people just copy paste and have no idea what the fuck they are doing

this section here :
Assuming that SteamCMD has been installed and is ready to use, you can simply install the server using the following command (Windows: Run this in a CMD prompt):

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +quit
This command works for both Window and Linux, and installs the server into a directory ~/.steam/steamcmd/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer

i would add below:
steamcmd launches steamcmd
login anonymous logs you into steamcmd with anomynous account
app update 1690800 installs/updates the game
etc

ofc better written than me

[fresh hound]

Hey Guys. I got this Error on my Server. Does anyone know how to fix it?

[snow belfry]

i am assuming you are installing/starting it wrong 🙂 which we had a few times here so how are you starting it ?

[fresh hound]

on Linux with "./FactoryServer.sh"

[snow belfry]

and the server starts or what does terminal say ?

[fresh hound]

it starts

and its online

[snow belfry]

okay so its not a starting problem

you are on experimental ?

[fresh hound]

yep

I wouldnt have the Server screen then

[snow belfry]

okay honestly, not going to be able to help you, i did not install it on linux yet, but few here have and i am sure someone can help you

i will install it on linux sometime tomorrow

[fresh hound]

funny thing: it worked yesterday ^^

more or less

[worthy fractal]

I have the same issue on my win10 VM, but I was trying it there only as workaround for my main issue (linky: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/6179863f831c852052353a17)

[snow belfry]

tried updating via steamcmd ?

[fallow shadow]

wasnt there an update today?

[fresh hound]

yep

[safe haven]

What's your client version?

[snow belfry]

good so it is up to date

[safe haven]

I'm on #170209

[ruby solar]

we cannot change the train table.
who still has the problem?

[safe haven]

#satisfactory-experimental

[snow belfry]

its been a problem on client side for ages, which is not really fixed with the dedicated servers

since on dedicated server we all are clients.. thats why it does not work

and will probably not work for a bit

[ruby solar]

ok thx

[serene island]

How can i get the server tool for epic?

[fluid turret]

I am trying to get it working on WSL
I get this error Warning: failed to init SDL thread priority manager: SDL not found
and I have the dependency that people say fixes this issue any ideas?

[safe haven]

I'm not sure why you'd want to run it through WSL when it should work native on Windows.

[snow belfry]

it looks like you are doing things right, so not sure what the problem might be. pm me your ip, let me try to join

[mellow thicket]

Because many people like to run servers from a Linux interface

[fluid turret]

Exploring all the possible options my friend

[safe haven]

Check the integrity of your game files for the client then, is my best guess right now.

[fresh hound]

we r 2 people with the same problem. Thats very unlikely but ill try

[snow belfry]

if all fails, i would probably try to reinstall the server, to check if that helps

[safe haven]

Curious..
I installed a server earlier today for the record, after the game update, and it worked absolutely fine.

[dry swallow]

Anyone who could test if my server work from outaide my localhost?

[safe haven]

Sure. DM me an ip I guess.

@fresh hound Does the server have a new map, or are you trying to load an older save into the server?

[snow belfry]

@safe haven just tried connecting myself its basically the same error, so i suggested to him to just redo the server from scratch and try again

[safe haven]

I've just launched my own server and client again and attempted a connection and this worked flawlessly.

So I wonder if version checking is incorrect for dedicated servers, attempting to verify that the game and not server are of the same version.

[snow belfry]

maybe

wonder if the app_update even works on dedi

says up to date but is not 😄

[fluid turret]

it does if you specify the same destination

otherwise it downloads the whole thing again to a new folder

[fresh hound]

oh that might be a problem. I dont know if I uploaded the save again

[fallow shadow]

my server is online and works but i walked 5 steps and now im stuck in a tree lol

[snow belfry]

i would actually suggest people not to use saves

[safe haven]

Indeed, especially when diagnosing connection/version issues.

[snow belfry]

they are p2p saves.. with clients standing around anway.. so better to start from scratch

[fluid turret]

I have run massive U3 saves flawlessly

Nothing works but it "works"

[alpine dawn]

am I correct in assuming that the steam version will not work with epic installed games?

[snow belfry]

not saying it does not work^^ but it could be a problem for some

[solar remnant]

It will work

[snow belfry]

nope it does work with epic

[alpine dawn]

oh hell yeah

I bought the game on epic but I saw in the wiki the dedicated server only worked via steam so I wasnt sure

[snow belfry]

well that means the "server" only works with steam

not the client

[alpine dawn]

perfect, I have other game servers that run via steamcmd already so thats fine

[deep zodiac]

anyone have a fix for server and game versions not compatible. epic client and steam dedicated pc. ran updates on both sides already

[snow belfry]

linux installation of the server ?

[deep zodiac]

no windows

rebooted pc after update too

[hushed garnet]

can i set it up on ubuntu?

[fluid turret]

yes

[snow belfry]

yeah

[snow belfry]

so server is running normally ,but ingame it says wrong version ?

[deep zodiac]

ya

[snow belfry]

you did try running steamcmd update again ?

[deep zodiac]

yeah says up to date

[dry swallow]

i maybe have a fix for the error about version not compatible, ill let you post in a couple of minutes

[hushed garnet]

Is there a guide some where for linux?

[snow belfry]

might be actually a problem, you are not the first one^^

[deep zodiac]

k

gg ty

DMs open if you want me to do testing. i am not very experienced with steam servers but im an IT guy so i can work through stuff

[snow belfry]

i am assuming its a version control problem, not sure how that would be fixed. My first problem solving would be to reinstall from scratch, after copying the save

[deep zodiac]

anyway to compare versions or are the schemes gonna be different between epic and steam builds?

[snow belfry]

i mean version number ingame ofc is the first thing. Question is how the server checks it

[woven prism]

Is your game on the experimental branch?

[snow belfry]

maybe we should ping bogdan and complain xD

[deep zodiac]

yes

[snow belfry]

its actually a stupid question that i asked before as well, because remember. you dont have the server manager on EA build, so it has to be exp to even show the error 😉

so yeah^^ we did not think there before we wrote

[worthy niche]

Anyone know how to put a save into the server files?

[deep zodiac]

ooh good one @nova rose

[nova rose]

so, yeah, you could check 🙂

[snow belfry]

yeah did not think of that 😄

[alpine dawn]

so...how many of you have got the dedicated server working so far?

[snow belfry]

<

[alpine dawn]

I realize that its still in development but how stable is it?

[trail lichen]

go to the normal game save loaction and create a folder called "server" in there you can put your file.

[deep zodiac]

@alpine dawn working yesterday just fine no issues, started new game

[alpine dawn]

nice

I kinda wanna try it now

haha

[deep zodiac]

played for like 2 hours

[snow belfry]

dedicated server is quite stable, i did not have any issues, ofc i would still use a restartscript for when it crashes

[alpine dawn]

sure, yeah I was more curious how often it would crash

haha

[steady hollow]

just systemd it

[worthy niche]

For the first boot the server creates one, do I delete that and replace it with mine or what?

[steady hollow]

or even better dockerize it

[snow belfry]

you people with your docker 😄

[alpine dawn]

yeah I dont get docker

[snow belfry]

its for lazy people ! 😄

[steady hollow]

Yes!

[snow belfry]

nah i do understand the use of docker for multiple servers

[alpine dawn]

would rather just install it all on the server directly

[steady hollow]

docker run -itP satisfactorygame/satisfactory would run a server!

[snow belfry]

for running one server i would not use docker 😄

[steady hollow]

Talking of docker brb reserving the org name

[quick mist]

It's overkill for a simple game server like this

[steady hollow]

if you want it back i require payment of 1 jace&snutt polaroid picture signed

[deep zodiac]

version numbers differ

[nova rose]

yep, seems your server did not update

[snow belfry]

yeah you way out of date

so that is what i thought

[deep zodiac]

wtf

[snow belfry]

even tho it says up to date i assume it does not check correctly the files

or versioning

so just reinstall it

[grizzled harbor]

Im not having any luck getting the dedicated server tool show up in steam

[snow belfry]

problem solved

[deep zodiac]

f

[steady hollow]

known, use steamcmd

[nova rose]

or make sure forcing the correct folder

[steady hollow]

dyno kindly SHUT THE FUCK UP

[alpine dawn]

welp I know what I am doing tonight when I get home from work

😄

[deep zodiac]

ty @nova rose and @snow belfry

[snow belfry]

@rose valley sorry for ping, but something you might want to look into, even tho steamcmd says server is up to date, its not for multiple people, so it actually is not updating. Soloution at the moment, just delete and reinstall basically

[coarse flower]

Docker is not overkill. it simplifies everything.

[alpine dawn]

now if I can just get my wife to install experimental branch

haha

[steady hollow]

just download directly from the depot

🧠

[snow belfry]

@fluid turret you wanna edit wiki to give workaround for version out of date ?

yeah if i remember there should be a steamcmd to force reinstall anyway right ?

[worthy niche]

So does anyone know how to replace the default save with another? Do I have to delete the one the server gives by default or what?

[rose valley]

Have you tried adding the validate parameter to the update command, like this:

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

[snow belfry]

@deep zodiac try with validate 😄

[balmy glacier]

Check wiki, theirs a guide
https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Loading_save_file

[snow belfry]

was just looking through all the commands, on steamcmd wiki. @deep zodiac was the one with versioning problem

validate might work its the only thing other than reinstall i can imagine

[worthy fractal]

steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental +quit

this worked for me, to make the version mismatch error go away

server now crashes in my vm aswell when trying to join though xD

on pc (where I also run steam + satisfactory client) it apparently automatically took the experimental beta version, without specifying it via command

[snow belfry]

yeah it should do that anyway, so thats weird.

[worthy fractal]

on my vm there is no steam installed or anything like that

it's just a random vm I had lying around and open anyway, to test if the server works there

[snow belfry]

maybe thats the issue^^ who knows

[worthy fractal]

because on my PC it just crashes when I try to join ^^

if you have any clue how to fix that issue, it would be appreciated btw 😄

[snow belfry]

checked logs ?

[worthy fractal]

Yes

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/6179863f831c852052353a17

I posted it here aswell

including the logs 😄

well, the log part where it crashes

[snow belfry]

im not sure i will be much help, but i will take a look

[worthy fractal]

I didn't find any attachment option

thanks

alternatively, if there is a workaround for the issue where I can only create an offline session, I'd take that aswell. I just want to play with friends 😄

[fair rune]

I can't save my game

[snow belfry]

you are german 😄

[worthy fractal]

Yes, I am

no clue why logs are german though xD

[snow belfry]

[snow belfry]

playerstate.cpp seh ich hier

[worthy niche]

I am having trouble with putting a save into the dedicated server. Can someone help??

[snow belfry]

is it savegame you put on after installing ?

@worthy fractal

[alpine dawn]

the user you are running the server to has no permissions to the files

[snow belfry]

i really suggest people not to do that 😄

[worthy fractal]

we started fresh yesterday

[snow belfry]

okay so it is a save from the dedicated server

[worthy fractal]

so the save file was created by the server etc.

yes

[snow belfry]

but what i would try to do is do a fresh save, maybe something got corrupted there

thats something css needs to know then if thats the case

[worthy fractal]

it does work in singleplayer though

I copied the save file to my "normal" save files and loaded it

worked perfectly fine

[snow belfry]

so the way i read it is that [2021.10.27-16.57.54:273][360]LogWindows: Error: Assertion failed: shortcut [File:D:/ws/SB-160502110050-fad/UE4/Games/FactoryGame/Source/FactoryGame/Private/FGPlayerState.cpp] [Line: 248] is the problem

i might be totally off 😄 because i am not a programmer at all

😄

[rose valley]

You got that one right tho!

[worthy niche]

Can someone please help me with putting a save file into my dedicated server

[snow belfry]

ha ! 😄

[atomic pasture]

So, while loading a save onto a dedicated server. It dosnt allow me to type anything into the session name? It just erases anything that i type.

[worthy fractal]

you have to be quick and confirm with enter 😄

[unreal cave]

Should you be able to use the console commands on the server, like God etc? Trying to unlock everything so we can go bonkers and stress test some stuff before a proper multiplayer playthrough 😛

[snow belfry]

i honestly suggest not to do that. You are asking for problems when doing that with an already EXP dedicated server

[atomic pasture]

ty!

[snow belfry]

but if you do want to do it, it explains it on the wiki of the server

[rose valley]

I think so. Maybe try them and report back? In theory you should be able to run all commands available on the server, bar from the graphics related ones.

[unreal cave]

The server console accepts no commands, there is also no /help or ?, so can't really figure out what it does accept :p

Client side it accepts nothing in the ~ menu

[atomic pasture]

i just keep getting this error and then the server just crashes. Tried reinstalling the server, public and local ip. And it dosnt matter if i try to join or a friend outside of my network.

[worthy niche]

Doing exactly what it says and it's not switching saves

[rose valley]

If you were running the server on your localhost without -unattended then help would open a browser window with all the available commands.

[worthy fractal]

yep, same issue here.

[snow belfry]

that error is basically just a loss of connection, so the server crashed, we dont really see much of the reason "why"

which you can see in the server logs

[unreal cave]

Not running it locally 😛
Do you by any chance have a link @rose valley ?

[nova rose]

is your server running different port? seems to want to connect to 15000 instead of 15777?

[rose valley]

It generates an offline page. There isn't one available online.

[snow belfry]

interesting catch

[unreal cave]

Server requires 3 ports, 7777 15000 and 15777

[rose valley]

You could start a local server only to get that page.

It's how UE4 does it.

[unreal cave]

👌

[snow belfry]

in this case its def, trying to connect to 15000

[atomic pasture]

i added the server with the default 15777 port. And ported all 3 of the. No clue why i wants 15000

[snow belfry]

its when you add the server

on the bottom it says port

[worthy fractal]

I guess it connects 15777 to ask for the actual ports (15000, 7777)

[snow belfry]

also if you are running it on your own end, its easiest to just join 127.0.0.1 (localhost)

[rose valley]

It looks like port 15000 is not reachable but 15777 is. All three ports need to be open (check firewall, router, etc).

[atomic pasture]

yes they are all open. Worked earlier today for like 3 hours, restarted the server and did not work ever since.

[rose valley]

Do you have access to the server logs?

[sudden summit]

Yeah similar issues with port forwarding here. All three ports are forwarded on router (UDP and TCP), firewall allows them through too, and have tried with firewall disabled

[worthy fractal]

I am having similar issues (server crashes when trying to connect, resulting in this error message), I'll actually check if it's the same port number in my message, one moment

[atomic pasture]

yes

[snow belfry]

@rose valley now i pinged you and woke you up from your slumber, and you are now customer support xD

[worthy fractal]

yes, same error message (also showing port 15000):

[rose valley]

Can you confirm that all these three ports are bound (just search for the port numbers in the log): 15777, 15000, 7777

[mellow thicket]

whats the admin command for max players?

[worthy fractal]

but no firewall enabled (I disabled this thing completely a while ago)

[snow belfry]

dont need tcp, but okay. Its also important ports need to be opened not redirected, what lots of people also tend to mix up

[snow belfry]

on your router ?

you crazy ?

[worthy fractal]

what, no

[sudden summit]

Yeah, was more just to try (TCP). What do you mean by second part?

[worthy fractal]

on my pc

[snow belfry]

well the pc is irrelevant you need to open ports on router ofc

[atomic pasture]

LogNet: Created socket for bind address: 0.0.0.0 on port 15000, LogServerQuery: Binding Server Query Socket to port 15777, it cannot find any log for 7777 at all

[worthy fractal]

server and client are on the same pc, so I connect to 127.0.0.1 - no router involved here 😄

[rose valley]

that's probably fine though. And if you use netstat, can you confirm that the ports are bound? Search the history of this channel for how to use netstat.

[trail lichen]

Is a "server load display" planned?

Currently I use Taskmanager and Resource manager to have a rough over view for:
CPU and RAM unsage, also Network traffic

[quick mist]

ss -plnu | grep UE or netstat -plnu | grep UE

[oblique zenith]

specific scenario question here if anyone's tested this. I have a dedicated server up and running, has anyone had success with their friends joining their server, even with the current multiplayer bug on the Steam version?

[balmy glacier]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Multiplayer#Sessions_with_more_than_4_players

[short flower]

is there a way to decrease save interval to say 1min?

[snow belfry]

well in your router you usually have different options for ports: what you want is Port forwarding, not redirect, not dynamic etc

[rose valley]

If you think it's useful, please make a post on https://questions.satisfactorygame.com

[snow belfry]

it depends on router how it looks

[sudden summit]

Oh, yes I've done it in the correct part

[snow belfry]

so check if your ports are open, online you can find tools to check ports

[sudden summit]

Ports are binding locally but not open online

using netstat* they show up but have no status

[snow belfry]

or netstat

[sudden summit]

They also have no foreign address

[solar remnant]

Which ports cannot be changed?

If the port is the same inside and outside that is?

[worthy fractal]

15000 and 7777 can't be changed iirc

[snow belfry]

never used netstat tbh, because never had the problem with port not open when i opened it but if it has no status, seems to me its not open right ?

[solar remnant]

That's not how I understand the instructions. :D

[snow belfry]

you can change every port, thats why you have command line overrides for ports

[worthy fractal]

I tried checking in Process Explorer if ports are open, but looks good:

[snow belfry]

you have to add to the command line tho

[sudden summit]

Yeah it isn't opening the ports, I'm really confused. Firewall configured correctly, router configured correctly, I can see whats going on and can see the ports binding but they cannot be accessed externally

[unreal cave]

Other issue, got the game on Epic and can't seem to find the Server variant on steam :p

[solar remnant]

steamcmd is the way

[snow belfry]

a thing to try is change the ports actually used with override, i mean worth a try. But i honestly have no idea why your ports wont open. It should be quite simple when changing in the router

[jovial oxide]

im considering dming jace that idk why people would be worried about dedicated servers just being a model because we already have him

is this a good idea

[snow belfry]

dming jace is never good idea

[frosty gale]

How I run Dedicated server:
Running a Unraid server with the docker template from ich777 it seems to be running quite nice only seeing a 1,2% Load on CPU and 4.5GB of ram used.

First experience:
Did portforwarding and connected to it form my WAN IP and this works tomorrow I will test with friends but so far for me everything runs fine for now first time start and loading of a game world or new created world is a bit sluggish but it improved very good after a few minutes while in game

Server hardware:
AMD Ryzen 4750G
32GB Ram
Server runs from cache pool (SSD)

[west wadi]

Are there already open servers available to join?

[jovial oxide]

except when it is, right

[snow belfry]

or when he is drunk

[rose valley]

Then something blocks them. If not firewall , something else. Do you have a VM or something like that?

[sudden summit]

Here is whats going on according to a program called CurrPorts

[jovial oxide]

true

It says in the rules you CAN message CMs, not that you SHOULD

[snow belfry]

that looks to me like not forwarding

you have it open on local but not on your external

[sudden summit]

It's not forwarding, no, should state it is listening

How do I get it to open externally?

It's set up properly on router

[snow belfry]

well usually with router 😄

[worthy fractal]

server is running on my pc (so no router firewall in between). windows firewall is entirely disabled. there is a vm in the background though, I could shut it down, but it shouldn't interfer (yesterday it worked fine, despite the vm being open aswell)

[solar remnant]

Are you sure your ISP allows forwarding?

[unreal cave]

Anyone here with the dedicated server running on windows interested in sending me the server commands list?

[frosty gale]

Looks like you didn't open port 15000 on your routers port forwarding

[sudden summit]

Yes, my flatmate seems to be able to forward the port from his pc

[worthy niche]

Is it possible to assign more ram?

[snow belfry]

what router ?

[blissful osprey]

Do I need it client side too? The server is on a VPS, no port forwarding there

[sudden summit]

ASUS RT-AC66U B1

[snow belfry]

i will try to google the setup screens of that router

[worthy fractal]

the server is crashing entirely when I try to connect to it though, so I'm not sure if blocked ports really are the issue

if I don't try to join, it runs fine

[snow belfry]

local ip correct ?

[sudden summit]

Yup, confirmed with ipconfig

[dry swallow]

so just pushed an update let see

[worthy fractal]

192.168.0.1 is probably the ip of your router, not of your pc though

[blissful osprey]

also, the server name says "pending" even tho it's already configured

[snow belfry]

damn this is complicated 😄 frikkin asus router 😄

[frosty gale]

In your router you need to open ports 15777, 15000, 7777, from anywhere from outside your network directly to your pc. If you have a pc with multiple ehternet sources (more common now a days) try disconnecting one of two)

[snow belfry]

its just an image^^ i posted for him from google

[worthy fractal]

ahh

[sudden summit]

Ikr xD As I said, my flatmate could forward from his PC, I just can't for the life of me figure out whats going wrong. Firewall was disabled, I've now enabled it with exceptions for the required ports

Hasn't helped

[snow belfry]

to be fair the port forwarding is frikkin easy on asus it looks like

[sudden summit]

Yup

[snow belfry]

so does not look like you can do much wrong

[sudden summit]

It even lets you choose device name when inputting local IP

[blissful osprey]

That's some poor networking... if I need to port-forward client side routers that is an issue

[hushed garnet]

Does anyone know what to do?

[dry swallow]

your public ipv4 adress cvan be known using this website www.whatismyip(.)com

[solar remnant]

It's inside the folder you specified.

[snow belfry]

@sudden summit does it have an option to disable firewall on router ? (ofc you should not do that for long, but as a test)

[dry swallow]

and like i said, jace just pushed an update for the game itself let see if its fix anything

[atomic pasture]

Seems like netstat dosnt see any udp ports. But windows resource monitor sees all 3 ports for the server. Im so lost at this

[unreal cave]

chmod +x ./FactoryServer.sh and try again

[worthy fractal]

netstat -p udp -a should work, but I'm no expert in networking at all xD

[frosty gale]

I don't know for sure how it would work on a pc that runs server and the game itself I have a unraid server running it.

[hushed garnet]

just gets this

[frosty gale]

But entering from your pc over your wan IP to your server could be a possible work around and also your friends can join from there homes if you trust them enough with your wan ip 😉

[atomic pasture]

ah, that gave mer more results!

[trail bobcat]

I cant find Satisfactory dedicated server install in tools on steam. I have selected tools on filter but its not showing up.

[worthy fractal]

cd satisfactorydedicatedserver
then try again

(I hope I didn't put a typo in)

[snow belfry]

looks like your directory is wrong

[unreal cave]

Wrong directory, it's installed in a sub folder, ls to see it

[atomic pasture]

So all 3 ports are active when i did netstat

[sudden summit]

Just tried with router firewall disabled, no change, still not opening the port

[blissful osprey]

then I didn't explain. I have the server on a remote VPS (in germany, i'm in italy) That IS port forwarded. People can connect. I too could connect, using another pc about 1h ago.

[dry swallow]

so everyone game just updated update your server as well

[blissful osprey]

ty for the info

[snow belfry]

no i mean connecting to the server without firewall, if you dont have a firewall open, then all ports are open ofc

[hushed garnet]

wdym?

[dry swallow]

steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 +exit

[hushed garnet]

did not work sadly

[snow belfry]

if it does not work. then its def not the router

[snow belfry]

type LS

[sudden summit]

Ok will try, gotta update server first

[frosty gale]

aah now I understand, i'm thinking with you what could possibly be the issue

[unreal cave]

Type ls -lah and post the output :p

[snow belfry]

it lists directorioes

[solar remnant]

There was a UPDATE pushed just a few minutes ago.

[balmy glacier]

build 7611006 now

[snow belfry]

cd .steam i assume 🙂

[acoustic pecan]

Is it possible to host a server on a raspberry pi?

[unreal cave]

cd /home/steam

[cinder wind]

CD /.steam/steamcmd

[solar remnant]

Not recommended.

[balmy glacier]

not yet

[acoustic pecan]

For what reason?

[solar remnant]

CPU

[acoustic pecan]

Ahh

[alpine dawn]

non x86

[solar remnant]

That too

[snow belfry]

raspberry pi is "arm" architecture not x86

[solar remnant]

Which is not supported by sf

[whole nacelle]

What do I do if I forgot the password of my server ?

[hushed garnet]

thx

[atomic pasture]

yes, i can now confirm that all 3 ports are active via netstat check

[whole nacelle]

Can you just uninstall then reinstall the app to reset the server ?

[snow belfry]

i mean technically ofc 😄 you can also probably just delete the save^^ or something less "deleting all"

[hushed garnet]

I am in the steam folder but.... still nothing

[whole nacelle]

Thing is, I don't think I have a save, unless I'm blind

[snow belfry]

you have to go further

its not in the steam folder

[rose valley]

Same thing that I told everyone else before then. Sadly it's not a server issue just some networking issue specific to your environment. I wish I could say something more useful 😟

[snow belfry]

its now in the folder you choose while installing

[whole nacelle]

nvm i'm blind

[whole nacelle]

No, was in the localappdata

[haughty cloak]

Is the server available in steam yet?

[quick mist]

Looks like another hotfix was just pushed. Not sure if both server and client side or not

[hushed garnet]

where then

[snow belfry]

SatisfactoryDedicatedServer if you installed via wiki instructions

so cd SatisfactoryDedicatedServer

thats where it should be

~/.steam/steamcmd/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer is the folder

so home/steam/steamcmd/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer

[alpine dawn]

getting all steamy up in here

[snow belfry]

thats "epic"

[meager summit]

[snow belfry]

joshie, snutt said, you are not allowed dedi server anymore

[hushed garnet]

its no work

[meager summit]

Proof

[trail lichen]

Done 🙂

[snow belfry]

could not be bothered to edit date and everything so ! just disregard the obvious fake !

[snow belfry]

what folder you on in the terminal ?

looks like you still on steam from the image 🙂

[alpine dawn]

photo shopped, I can tell by looking at the pixels

[snow belfry]

i mean ofc its so obvious 😄 even the lines and the frikkin move icon^^

the date is from 2020^^

[alpine dawn]

sigh my early internet meme is lost on you

[snow belfry]

im old

[serene kelp]

What's the amount of network traffic on average for 1 person playing the game? That info should be added to the Wiki also. Like Average Bytes per Minute for 1 person.

[acoustic pecan]

Was scrolling through twitter and saw this lol

[snow belfry]

i see no problem looks totally ture to me, nothing flase about this

[worthy fractal]

updated to #170426, but dedicated server still crashes when attempting to join, still same error message in the logs 😦
now the game crashes for singleplayer too though (no matter which save or even new game) 😄

[atomic pasture]

@worthy fractal i figured it out! I fixed mine by removing the backup saves from the server SaveGames folder. No issues logging on when i removed them.

[deep forge]

my server says wrong version now

[worthy fractal]

backup saves?

[deep forge]

how do you see which build it is?

[snow belfry]

server had an update and some people had problems with updating try adding -validate to the update

[worthy fractal]

you mean you deleted all but one?

[quick mist]

Probably because of the update that just went out

[balmy glacier]

build 7611006 now

[quick mist]

See #patch-notes

[deep forge]

i'm running that auto rebooting script on linux that is explained on the site

[atomic pasture]

@worthy fractal yes, just leave your standard .sav file and delete the autosave_0, 1 and 2

[deep forge]

did a reset, but maybe now my client is outdated because of the update seconds ago 🙂

[worthy fractal]

ok, I'll try, hang on

[brave tide]

Hey all, anyone else seeing client ahead of server version but no updated server version available yet?

[snow belfry]

let me check restartscript you are using

[hushed garnet]

pain

[snow belfry]

you are still in the steam folder

[hushed garnet]

where to go then

[snow belfry]

type:
cd steamcmd

then you are in the steamcmd folder

correct ?

[hushed garnet]

not a directory

[snow belfry]

guess we need to do ls again

[balmy glacier]

could use linuxgsm

If you followed the original Wiki it will be...

/home/steam/Steam/SaisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryServer.sh

[snow belfry]

oh its not steamcmd okay

[alpine dawn]

yeah, I would not suggest attempting to do this unless you are familiar with linux

[latent bloom]

⏳

[snow belfry]

sorry thought it would be steamcmd, try

cd SaisfactoryDedicatedServer

then

[worthy fractal]

this actually worked 😄

[worthy fractal]

interestingly, it only works for the manually saved .sav files

if I leave the autosave in the folder it doesn't work

[spiral root]

type ls

[hushed garnet]

stuff not workin

[spiral root]

what is the output

[snow belfry]

jesus check directories 😄 with
ls

[deep forge]

it's a bit annoying that the client says "not compatible version" but doesn't know what the server is

[snow belfry]

the problem is we do not know which folder you chose or where you installed it

[snow belfry]

so finding that is not so easy

[deep forge]

so you can't tell if you are ahead or behind 🙂

[spiral root]

How did you install steamcmd?

[atomic pasture]

@rose valley i solved the issue. I think the autosave files somehow can get corrupted by the dedicated server. I deleted them and server fired right up for me and Simba.

[snow belfry]

why the hell are we in root now

[hushed garnet]

i followed their guide

[full cipher]

probably in docker or chroot jail

[spiral root]

Their guide has multiple differnt options

So which one did you use?

[rose valley]

Good to know. I have a bunch of corrupted saves to investigate already. It should steadily improve over the next few days.

[spiral root]

Did you build yourself,did you use apt or yum for exmaple.

[sudden summit]

Using Port Query I get this locally @snow belfry. Any further ideas? This is with my PC firewall completely disabled

[snow belfry]

try the whole folder:
cd /home/steam/Steam/SaisfactoryDedicatedServer/

[snow belfry]

thats honestly more a thing for bogdan or others

i am not the network guy^^

[sudden summit]

okie:))

[deep forge]

for me it was in .steam instead of steam

[alpine dawn]

wish my server was turned on at home and then I could join in the fun XD

[spiral root]

ok do the following ..

ls /home/steam/

[snow belfry]

i bet its in there 😄

[hushed garnet]

done

[snow belfry]

told you steamcmd

[alpine dawn]

haha

[hushed garnet]

nice

[kindred sierra]

everyone from friends getting it - something corrupted? linuxgsm, worked fine but after update we cant join. status says its running

[snow belfry]

so its
cd /home/steam/Steam/steamcmd/SaisfactoryDedicatedServer/

[spiral root]

ok so now you need to cd steamcmd

lol

[worldly bridge]

the wiki for dedicated servers with steamcmd suggests making a folder using +force_install_dir but the update command doesn't put the update in the same folder and instead puts it in a default directory

[atomic pasture]

@kindred sierra Just delete your autosave_0, autosave_1 and autosave_2 files in the server SaveGames folder. Start the server and it should fire right up!

[snow belfry]

never took me so long to go into a folder before

[spiral root]

We are all new at some point.

[hushed garnet]

sry guys

[spiral root]

Though at this point I think Navy may be better using linuxGSM

[alpine dawn]

yep

[snow belfry]

because you are in root again

type only this completely :

cd /home/steam/steamcmd/SaisfactoryDedicatedServer/

if i remember my linux that should be good enough

[spiral root]

Drop the second Steam

[snow belfry]

oh yeah sorry

[deep forge]

haha without the spelling error 🙂

[alpine dawn]

yeah that second Steam is not needed

[spiral root]

His steamcmd is in /home/steam/ not /home/steam/Steam/

[whole nacelle]

Someone running into the version not compatible error again ?

[hushed garnet]

its not a directory

[snow belfry]

yeah that was typo

[worthy fractal]

(unrelated to quote, but no idea how to tag you); did you possibly dismantle your space elevator between the last manual save + last autosave?

[sleek hornet]

@whole nacelle yup just updated my server and still says i cant join

[snow belfry]

honestly someone go in a call with him 😄 and idk^^ watch as he types 😄

[whole nacelle]

Ok thx, thought I was just dumb

[atomic pasture]

@worthy fractal no, never moved it

[worthy fractal]

hm, ok 😄

[snow belfry]

you have to validate files

[deep forge]

pff.. 17GB updating again... let's see what happens next

[snow belfry]

update with -validate

[latent bloom]

btw... can you guys confirm, the "tool" called "Satisfactory Dedicated Server" isn't available in the library, if you didn't own satisfactory on steam?
I needed to log out and log in as anonymous for being able to install it...

[deep forge]

does validate also work on the linux steamcmd?

[snow belfry]

other soloution was adding -experimental -beta

[snow belfry]

yeah

[spiral root]

@silk spindle yeah its a known issue.

[kindred sierra]

me? i never got that far with friends, only build we had HUB planted and we were handmining / crafting .
cronned update check saw an update and forced it

[visual niche]

^

easier to use steamcmd @latent bloom

[spiral root]

^^ THIS

[snow belfry]

tell that to poor @hushed garnet 😄

[atomic pasture]

Just delete your autosave_0, autosave_1 and autosave_2 files in the server SaveGames folder. It worked for both me and Simba

[kindred sierra]

im trying to look for the possible save folder if it ever managed to create one :)I

[hushed garnet]

my sorry head hurts 😆

[rocky sentinel]

I've noticed since the update when I use a command line like this ./FactoryServer.sh -ServerQueryPort=62007 -BeaconPort=62008 -GamePort=62009 It is incrementing a port by one so instead of the expected UDP port 62007, 62008, and 62009 I am getting 62007, 62008, 62010. Nothing else is running on this servers besides satisfactory.

[novel echo]

how do we update the server ?

[atomic pasture]

it's in %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server

[snow belfry]

pm me if you still cant find it, its easier than doing it with so many people here

[spiral root]

Instructions on Wiki 😄

[earnest crane]

how are the servers as far as wonkyness? like when i hosted for my friend, vehicles were completely unusable for him. are dedicated servers good in this regard?

[deep forge]

sudo systemctl restart satisfactory.service.

[kindred sierra]

can u tell me where the savefolder was located at ?xd

[worldly bridge]

i'm trying to update the server on windows 10 using steamcmd but it's not giving me the updated version

[hushed canyon]

@worldly bridge Try adding -experimental -beta

[kindred sierra]

/home/xx/serverfiles/steamapps at least not here

[hushed canyon]

I just did that and it's downloading more now.

[balmy glacier]

Linux: ~.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server
Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server

[atomic pasture]

it's in C:\Users\pcname\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server

[novel echo]

apparently they rolled back the update

[snow belfry]

its kinda amazing how many people are trying server, probably will never do servers again 😄

[kindred sierra]

man, thanks! guys pin that ! 😄

[snow belfry]

especially since lots of them host on own machine, which kinda defeats the purpose as well 😄

[novel echo]

mine is running on a vps lol

[worldly bridge]

i actually have a second box with an older i7, been looking for excuses to keep it around

[kindred sierra]

dedis are for when everyone can join whenever they want, not controlled solely by 1 peron :G

[snow belfry]

and you probably also knew how to do the steamcmd 😄 so not talking about you^^

but rather about people doing it the first time 😉

[fallow thorn]

is there a way to manually save before i update

[novel echo]

steamcmd is easy lol

[fallow shadow]

old save is crashing the server with segmentation fault 😕

[raw relic]

How do I access the dedicated servers I have tools open and I don’t see it

[snow belfry]

well for us yeah^^ but you following this chat ? 😄

[whole nacelle]

Do you add it in the app_update command ?

[alpine dawn]

yeah I just want the dedi so I can play whenever

[whole nacelle]

Also, did it work ?

[novel echo]

hmm not really its hurting my eyes xD

[balmy glacier]

its in the wiki that is pinned

[snow belfry]

imagine new guy using steamcmd and trying 30 min to get into the directory 😄 and he goes into root everytime again and again

or someone starting steamcmd, and in steamcmd starting the command with "steamcmd +login anomynous

[alpine dawn]

got some people trying to cut their linux teeth with an experimental dedicated server like its no big deal

[novel echo]

ikr ! xD

[alpine dawn]

haha

[hushed canyon]

I added it to "FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended"

[snow belfry]

honestly for me its the best thing doing something on linux and getting an error

fixing the error and finding out what is wrong is the best thing

[foggy agate]

You don't need the flags

this is the default.

[whole nacelle]

ok thx

[balmy glacier]

Its not showing up in tools, its a issue/bug
will have to use steamcmd

[whole nacelle]

Why did Jace tell us to put them, then ?

[visual niche]

so it logs and auto-restarts

[snow belfry]

its good practice to add command lines

[whole nacelle]

So you do need them

[deep forge]

ow ffs, it just restarted the client download

[visual niche]

very recommended id say

[whole nacelle]

Oh okay, you don't need it for the server itself

[alpine dawn]

@snow belfry I remember back in 2005 when I was a complete noob on linux but damn I only messed with well documented things at that point XD

[whole nacelle]

just very useful

[scenic wyvern]

Some of you did stress test ? How many ppl before it starts melting ?

[worldly bridge]

i've tried using app_update 1690800 -experimental -beta validate then checked steamcmd wiki and tried proper syntax with app_update 1690800 -beta experimental validate but it's still not giving me a newer version

[deep forge]

it was bored with 4 ppl on an i7

[pure horizon]

Does it works via epicgames?

[deep forge]

but new world

[snow belfry]

i never had documents when i first started^^ back then only dial up internet. so we did not have internet. And i did not even have a book for linux, i barely was able to get the apps updated, always asking a friend on the phone

nowadays i use linux not enough, so i keep forgetting ofc

[hushed garnet]

i have dm'd you

[deep forge]

haha back in the day, only console running on slackware

[snow belfry]

so i still need to google 😄

[deep forge]

trying to run a sata raid for hours

[alpine dawn]

lol

sata?

what was that

ide

lol

[deep forge]

we were running some fancy warez stuff 🙂

but this does remind me of irc #linux 🙂

[alpine dawn]

at some point I acquired some SCSI hardware

[whole nacelle]

I updated normally and now it works

[sleek pond]

Does The World actually save itself when the server shuts down?

[rose valley]

the -beta experimental should not be there. There is no experimental branch yet. Remove it altogether.

[frosty gale]

I've gotten two updates in the past hour or so, but only one set of patch notes. Sus. So many bugs in the dedicated server it seems a bit early to report stuff, but man is it nice to have it now. I've been waiting for so long.

[alpine egret]

So the patch was reverted right. My client un-updated to 170209 again?

[floral charm]

Added a section to the wiki on using NSSM to run this as a windows service

[rose valley]

The patch was rolled back temporarily and another one is on it's way.

[deep forge]

yeah it just is doing 17GB twice

[worldly bridge]

steamcmd is still stuck on version 170209

[worthy fractal]

concerning the corrupted save file issue - i loaded the save file into a savegame editor and deleted both of our players. then it worked aswell with the newer autosave file.

[deep forge]

how can you see the steamcmd version if you are running it as service?

[alpine egret]

look at the log for CL-XXXX

[worldly bridge]

wait... it's still not updating the right folder

disregard me, i guess

[rose valley]

Wow it was that easy!

[whole nacelle]

Ok,that's why I had a 1.13 Gb patch now

[floral charm]

Yeah, I actually wrote a generic windows service wrapper in C# for this kind of thing for work a while back, but I was happy to find an off-the-shelf solution that's almost certainly better

[hoary prairie]

Hey anyway to get the log into a log file?

[alpine egret]

What do people use on Linux to poll for game updates, install them and restart the systemd job? Just a cronjob or anything fancier?

[worldly bridge]

i am absolutely confused, steamcmd installed a new version of the server when i forgot to use force_install_dir but won't update the existing install in the specified folder

[karmic plaza]

well i tried installing the server manually with steamcmd and amp, but i'm not able to see it as online from the game client regardless, whether i try connecting directly to the ip locally or with my external ip address 😦

[worldly bridge]

i deleted the exe and it replaces it with the old one

[floral charm]

What would you hit to poll? Does Steamcmd output something useful here?

[unreal cave]

@rose valley Just installed the dedicated server on Windows ( .\FactoryServer.exe -log, still no form of help command :p

[alpine egret]

looking for the exit code on update. Definitely 0 for nothing to do.

[floral charm]

If you have a reliable polling option I'd probably go with a cronjob, seems easy enough and like the right approach

Though you'd really want to make sure your clients also have the update available before you update the server, so auto updates might be kind of risky

[cursive zenith]

I personally don't auto update servers

[alpine egret]

True, but super annoying to manually update for each tiny patch to experimental?

[cursive zenith]

I update my client and then manually call a server update

since stuff like #satisfactory-experimental can happen (rollbacks)

[floral charm]

Ideal scenario would be to set up a webpage on your server that can poll/execute an update, and give your users access to that if you don't want to do it yourself

[alpine egret]

Yeah. Thought of that.

[umbral olive]

Anyone mention a fix for this as of late? Set arguments for beacon and gameport and no fix so reverted, steamcmd is updating fine, able to authenticate/name/set pw/ but create gives me this error. On server pc everything looks fine and port fwd is correct as other game servers are up and running fine, the only difference i think...is UDP although I would not think its an issue, netstat however, does not show a listening state...not sure honestly, any tips? thx in advance

[floral charm]

kind of a lot of hassle though 😆

[floral charm]

not 100% positive on this, but I think every game server ever should be using UDP

TCP latency is too high for 99% of gaming applications

[umbral olive]

your correct, and it's set on udp

[floral charm]

Yeah, just wanted to rule that out as a potential difference

[leaden grotto]

yep! all games should use UDP

[floral charm]

This actually looks like a slow network error message to me? Looks like you have a tick rate descrepency

[umbral olive]

oh yea, sorry i mistyped, i meant the only differ between this and my other servers is that this is UDP and others are not, sorry

[floral charm]

but I say this without knowing the code, a dev would have to chime in on that one

[leaden grotto]

Its because TCP sends an acknowledgement packet back to the client so it triples the time

[floral charm]

TCP++ acks the ack ack with another ack

very reliable

[leaden grotto]

either tick latency

or the server isn't up at all/ ports aren't unblocked

[floral charm]

If server wasn't up they shouldn't have been able to get that far, right? unless it crashed during the scenario described

[violet timber]

server is not showing up in tools on steam? anyone had this issue

[leaden grotto]

the server hasn't bound to the port

[rose valley]

Interesting. I last did that a few days ago. Then you're in the blind for now. Sorry for sending you on a false lead.

[balmy glacier]

Its not showing up in tools, its a issue/bug
will have to use steamcmd

[leaden grotto]

if netstat isn't returning anything then the server isn't up

the timeout is because there's nothing to connect to

@umbral olive

[cursive zenith]

Yeah I noticed there were no help commands available

[leaden grotto]

are there any open servers up yet?

[wise crag]

Can you tell me how? Would like to set one up but dont have the Dedicated server in my tools

[balmy glacier]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[unreal cave]

Np, will just toy around with it a bit more or just upload an already end game map to test

[shadow wren]

Soooo......... who has the hub in a dedicated server?

[leaden grotto]

-_-
