dedicated-servers

[slim spoke]

get out and load save before

[timid slate]

Load the save locally

should also fix it

[wary bluff]

Uh.. Locally loading - I'll give it a try.. thanks

[frosty gale]

hi, i tried updating but by restarting the server but that still doesnt seem to work.. does anyone have a solution?

[topaz marsh]

Hey all, need some help getting a dedicated server setup as a service on Centos8

following the wiki just generated errors for me

[wary bluff]

which kind of error ?

[topaz marsh]

At first, it was ExecStop that was missing

[slim spoke]

if wiki doesnt work u need to fix cmds or figure out what librarys and such ur missing

[topaz marsh]

i added RemainAfterExit=yes

now the log says permission denied when starting the service

tried running it as the user and as root. no luck

[slim spoke]

u will have to wait for somoene who likes centos

[wary bluff]

not as user root - this is denied by steam

[topaz marsh]

makes sense

[wary bluff]

run it with an extra User

I use Debian and created a user "satisfactory"

[brave fog]

anyone getting this message and cant login to the server?

[wary bluff]

then I created a systemd which runs the game as this user.. InstallDir is /home/satisfactory/FactoryGame

and of course the dir is owned by user "satisfactory"

[topaz marsh]

i did the same on CentOS user call steam

install directory is owned by the user as well

[brave fog]

yea even after restarting it i get this

[wary bluff]

K... i don't knwo CentOS that good.. also using systemd ?

[wary bluff]

ittspock - did you check the gamefiles with steamcmd ?

[brave fog]

i thought it does that on start up

[wary bluff]

no...

[brave fog]

ok doing that now

doing a verify

[wary bluff]

just checking for Updates on restart - but checking Gamefiles needs some time,

[brave fog]

this?

[wary bluff]

Jup

[brave fog]

sweet!! you the best @wary bluff!

[topaz marsh]

@wary bluff which version of Debian are you runing?

[wary bluff]

11

[topaz marsh]

I'll try and and transfer over if it works

I'm hosting it my self which makes it easier to do this

[wary bluff]

same here - running on a lovely ServerFrame in my Basement 😛

[topaz marsh]

🙂

[wary bluff]

But it should also work with CentOS - it's also Linux ^^

[topaz marsh]

I can send you what i have as the service if you want to check it out

[wary bluff]

yeah, mybe it's simple

maybe*

[topaz marsh]

After looking at the logs, it the steamcmd that fails to start

[wary bluff]

hm.. Ok, did you try to execute the PreExec manually in your CLI ?

switch to your "steam"-User and try to execute the ExecStartPre-Line manually

[topaz marsh]

it works when i run it manually

[wary bluff]

O.o Ok, thats strange... hmm

[wary bluff]

the paths in your Unitfile look confusing...

because normally ~/ will be translated to the home-dir

[topaz marsh]

yep

[wary bluff]

try to replace this with absolute paths

[sour yoke]

How goes the dedicated server life?

[topaz marsh]

for some reason when i set force_install_dir to ~/Sat-ds1 it actually created an dir with ~

[wary bluff]

Uh.. don't do that - yes it works, but it can lead to many Problems

my suggestion - change install-dir to absolute path and adjust the Unit-File accordingly

[topaz marsh]

anyone know the command to uninstall an app in steamcmd?

[wary bluff]

just delete the folder

[topaz marsh]

i'll just start over

ok

[frosty gale]

can anyone help?

[topaz marsh]

version still saying 17386 or something like that?

[slim spoke]

crash log or some kind of error info?

[frosty gale]

yeah

[frosty gale]

no it just doesn't update when restarting

[slim spoke]

update your ea

879 is old ea

before validate in install line put in -beta public

[frosty gale]

how can i update it

though

[slim spoke]

^^^

run the install line after that

[frosty gale]

can you provide an example? im not very good at these things

[clever idol]

How do we activate Ficsmas on our Dedicated Servers?

[slim spoke]

u used a cmd line to install

before the word validate put what i said

then run that cmd

make sure server and client are updated

restart them

[frosty gale]

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

so this?

[slim spoke]

good luck with it im out

[ember rover]

Not needed, goes automatically. Started yesterday.

[clever idol]

yeah we saw it yesterday..

and then after the patch

it went away

and hasn't come back

[slim spoke]

that was a bug you seen first

on dedi try using hte cmd to turn off but set to opposite for on

[clever idol]

do you know what that is?

[slim spoke]

pinned messages or wiki should have it

[clever idol]

k

[slim spoke]

i have no clue what it it lol

[clever idol]

pointing to the pins was helpful. thank you

[charred atlas]

is a fix for Ficsmas on dedi planned? Or are we flat out of luck? Update yesterday was not a fix for this.

[slim spoke]

it works on dedis

[charred atlas]

ok? not here.

[slim spoke]

look up

[languid quail]

Are ports reroutable on ea or only experimental

[slim spoke]

both

[languid quail]

Thx

[slim spoke]

but play on ea if u want to play

[charred atlas]

sorry, yep, restart fixed it

[slim spoke]

good enjoy

[vocal jungle]

i got blackharted fixed last night

[slim spoke]

yay

[vocal jungle]

he was double nat'ed

[slim spoke]

he didnt listen

so i gave up on caring

[vocal jungle]

well he didnt realize his mode/router wasnt in brige mode

[slim spoke]

anyways

[vocal jungle]

and he couldnt access the feature so i had to walk him through a dmz setup that point to his asus router

[alpine dawn]

networking is somehow very hard for people

[slim spoke]

if u dont know u dont just fuck around wasting peoples time doing stupid shit

just say whats that or how do i do that

not fuck around with gameboost or whatever stupid shit u think of doing

[vocal jungle]

that is very true, i been doing network stuff for 25 years but when i took my CCNA i was surprised how much the people in the class didnt know that i thought was common knowledge

[rose valley]

Ports are not reroutable on either. They are override able. Reroutability is being worked on.

[languid quail]

I had to go thorugh -alot- of troubleshooting to get a working server. Sometimes ISP depending on country just isn't on your side

[rose valley]

Port forwarding being the biggest hurdle?

[languid quail]

and everything to get to that point

[reef gull]

Plenty of eager, yet uninformed kids out

[languid quail]

like literally having no admin access to the router settings

that you had to sign a waiver in order to be granted permission

[vocal jungle]

I would agree but my class was all people over 25 lol

[rose valley]

That's.. not how the server is meant to work? Who restricted your access?

[languid quail]

the isp

[steep turret]

it's obviously on the router end

[reef gull]

Seen a lot of older people career shift to IT

[rose valley]

To your own server?

[languid quail]

to my own router settings

[steep turret]

it's typical of some backwater isps

they restrict the settings fully for their customers

[rose valley]

Ah.. yea. That's shitty isping right there. Sorry for that.

[vocal jungle]

his ISP blocks ports on there end it less common but not unheard of

[languid quail]

they provide modem routers not modems, and you also can't change the route settings to bridge mode to have your own router

I also don't have access to general inbound and outbound firewall rules

[vocal jungle]

and thats where a DMZ comes in

[languid quail]

it just says firewall on

even with admin access

[granite basalt]

Can someone direct me to where the savefile is supposed to be for the DS?

[languid quail]

but yeah I used dmz for the machine I'm working on to be accessible through the internet

[vocal jungle]

linux or windows

[granite basalt]

Windows

[languid quail]

also our network was behind a cgnat so I had to get us out of the pool too

[granite basalt]

I am using the steam app

[languid quail]

like depending on the country sometimes the networking issues are more external

[rose valley]

Cgnat can go fuck itself. IPv6 has been a thing for decades...

[languid quail]

videos and tutorials usually assume you have full access to your network

[vocal jungle]

and thats the bad choice you should get a real router dmz to it then connect all your things via that it will seg you off the main network and give you access to forward ports properly

[slim spoke]

cause thats the case for the majority

[languid quail]

not sure how that works if I can even connect another router to my network

I only have a very very high level understanding on how dmz works

I specified my throwaway machine as a dmz server, shouldn't it not interfere with the rest of my devices inside the network

[prisma hazel]

I cant connect to my friends server can anyone help lol

sure im not the first sure i wont be the last

i cant find the adress

or more like he cant haha

[vocal jungle]

dmz just lets all traffic throuth to that one port

[hasty girder]

If we can download the Saves from the Server, do you think anybody could do this, I would rly like to see this

[vocal jungle]

did he set up the server already ?

[prisma hazel]

yes

hes on it i just cant connect to it

[languid quail]

I thought dmz was just letting a specified device via it's ip address be outside the routers firewall setting

[vocal jungle]

tell him to go to whatsmyip webside and give you that ip

[languid quail]

but other devices in the network are still behind the firewall rules of the router

[prisma hazel]

ok brb

[vocal jungle]

we are saying the same thing

[meager summit]

you can just google that cant you? "what is my ip" and it tells you

[vocal jungle]

yes

[languid quail]

oh ok

[vocal jungle]

thats the beauty of just saying go to whatsmyip website there just going to google whatsmyip and get the answer ether way

[languid quail]

tell him to check if his wan IP is the same as his public IP otherwise he's under cgnat and thats a whole other issue

[prisma hazel]

the ip didnt work 🙂

[slim spoke]

tell them move to a better net country

[vocal jungle]

cgnat is rarely a issue of all the people i have got up and running 0 have been cgnet issues

[slim spoke]

mostly its people just getting in over their heads

[languid quail]

still a possibility

[vocal jungle]

possibility indeed likely no

[languid quail]

well it was the issue in my case atleast

welcome to the ricefields

[vocal jungle]

i think the most common issue i see is someone not knowing there ip and not knowing the correct ip the server is bound to

rai your the exception not the rule lol

[prisma hazel]

POSTING FOR ALL TO KNOW apparently it was the WAN Ip lmao thank you to all

[vocal jungle]

and had you set your network up like i said you wou wouldnt be a exception ethere

[sour yoke]

Or do what I do and forward your ports to the wrong PC and try to figure out why nothing is working for an hour.

[vocal jungle]

another check for not knowing there IP

[languid quail]

thing is I can't follow that setup 'originally' because of the isp limitations
but yeah I'm just an exception

[plain flare]

i need help, how to deactivate event on server ?

???

setting for solo but server it s where ?

[meager summit]

5000 IQ play

[plain flare]

ok i look this

[vocal jungle]

Rai you could also have also use ngrok

[languid quail]

it was in my list of things I might try

[vocal jungle]

its handy for your situation

[languid quail]

but so far what I have is working, the thing I'm trying right now is to if I have any form of control on the firewall settings to whitelist the device ip and inbound ports in the router firewall so I don't have to set it up as a dmz server

[vocal jungle]

gives you a proper public ip tunnel for stuffs and things

well you can only have one dmz

if its real cgnet you need the isp to forward the ports

[languid quail]

no I've already handled the cgnat problem, had to call the ISP directly and remove us from the cgnat rule

[vocal jungle]

rai how much is your time worth ?

[languid quail]

but router settings is still limited, and we don't have access to setting up the modem router on bridge mode so I'm just working with what I have

[vocal jungle]

you can spend 8 hours trying things or you can go to work for 3 hours buy a cheap router and be done in 4 hours lol, i am just razzing you by the way

always do it the hard way so you learn more and know for next time

i learned what i know from spending hours grinding my gear on somthing that could have been easy but i went the hard route

[languid quail]

I can't replace the router I have right now it just won't work atleast for my isp, if I just buy another router and stick it in my existing modem/router won't it just act as an access point because its still behind the NAT rules of the original router if its not set to bridge mode (which I can't)

[patent stump]

Ok so... i hosted a game on dedicated server... and now somehow don't know how to get someone in

do i invite like normal MP?

[languid quail]

I'll stop posting here btw, things are getting into tech talk territory

[vocal jungle]

Existing router/modem with a dmz set to point to ThirdParty Router then you connect all appliances to the 3rd party router

[subtle shore]

Can anyone with their admin access please share their ServerSettings.ini

Pref someone who is successfully hosting without any timeout etc.

[vocal jungle]

did you do all the setup items in the wiki if so you should just need to give your friend you external ip

[vocal jungle]

nothing about admin access is saves in the Serversettings.ini

[patent stump]

Where can i find that

[vocal jungle]

what part the wiki or the ip

[patent stump]

IP

Sorry, this is all pretty new to me

in the console window?

[vocal jungle]

to go to whatsmyip webside and give you that ip

[frosty gale]

bruh.

can someone please help with this, restarting didnt fix

how can i update it

is the thing i dont understand

i have steamcmd but it doesnt recognize it and i have no idea how i did it the first time

i have a linux nogui

okay

wait one sec

[vocal jungle]

yes you need to stop it first

this is why i run in docker and amp lol

[frosty gale]

these are my only files

[balmy fjord]

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

[frosty gale]

yeah bu tit doesnt recognize it

steamdcmd: commant not found

[balmy fjord]

steamcmd

without the d

[frosty gale]

thats what i meant

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

i ran this

[vocal jungle]

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

if you dont want to be on experamntal

[patent stump]

Hmmm, my friend can't see the game

but I can connect using 127.0.0.1

I feel like i set up something wrong

[frosty gale]

i cant use steamcmd is the issue though

it doesnt recognize it

what is the folder im meant to be doing it in?

[frosty gale]

i only have these

is it because im not in a folder or something?

i didn't run any cd commands

h

thanks anyway

[gusty mesa]

Is it possible to get mods on dedicated server?

[hushed gate]

Ask for mods over at the [official modding discord](#welcome message). - <3 @slim spoke

Dec 1, 2021, 7:10 PM

[languid quail]

try ./steamcmd or ./steamcmd.sh +forceinstall....

[frosty gale]

steamcmd.sh brings up the steam command line but it doesnt work there anyway

right

let me try

[languid quail]

just running ./steamcmd.sh will open up the steamcmd console thats expected

[frosty gale]

yeah

sdl not found

[languid quail]

sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386

[patent stump]

looked up my ports, is this how it's supposed to be set up?

I can connect using local IP

but friend can't using my external

[real wing]

it must not be port forwarded right

[patent stump]

unsure what's going wrong

I also added rules to my firewall

[real wing]

oh is he using query or game port?

[patent stump]

7777

how?

[real wing]

lol was gonna say why you wanna sue the port?

[frosty gale]

ok im giving up

[real wing]

@frosty gale you need to stop/update the server

[frosty gale]

i even reinstalled

[patent stump]

I see no ports using any of those 3 numbers

when server isn't running

[frosty gale]

i did

then i reinstalled

then i restarted

[real wing]

I have been using dedicated for the last day wouldve been 2 but had to fix issues I use to have

[frosty gale]

what

okay

[real wing]

what is it basically just the game or something? thats pretty big lol

yeah but mean its almost as big

[frosty gale]

same size again

wtf am i installing

app_update 1690800

bruh

wait

i think

im geniunely stupid

[languid quail]

thats different from the ingame version

thats the app id on steam

https://steamdb.info/app/1690800/

[real wing]

what I usually do to be safe is run steamcmd normally nothing else then run quit then run the server update command twice to be sure

[patent stump]

weird

[languid quail]

so you are installing the right thing

[patent stump]

What should my port forwarding have set for the "Internal IP"?

alright, i had wrong IP for my ports

it is now working 😄 thanks guys

[reef gull]

Did the single port thing make it to EA or did that part get yanked if it was having problems? I don't see it in the latest patch notes, but I wanted to be sure I wasn't blind or something.

[trim hill]

Hey all. I've been running a dedicated server for a couple weeks, no real issues - I'm just trying to move my world onto a new server as it was compromised by some malware.

Just want to know the best way to move the world over, I've reinstalled steamCMD and got the server running, no world has been created. Am I good to just copy over everything from this directory into the corresponding directory on the new server?

/home/steam/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames

This is on ubuntu 20, thanks!!

[quick mist]

Single-port was rolled back for now

@trim hill , you can use the Saves Manager in the Server Manager to upload a save from your client to the Server, and then load it up

[trim hill]

Oh, nice. Can I also pull the save down from the existing server?

[quick mist]

that is not yet implemented, but is planned

but you pointed out the correct place to go looking for them (:

[trim hill]

Yeah I need to get the world from the old server. My question was mainly can I copy the "ServerSettings.15777" file onto the new server? Or should I set up fresh, and then move the world files over?

[quick mist]

I would start fresh, and then copy the save, just to be safe

[trim hill]

okay, ill run through the setup wizard thing in game, then shut it down and move the .sav files over. Sound right?

[quick mist]

That should work perfectly!

[trim hill]

awesome, thanks for the help! Will ping again if anything goes tit's up!

[real wing]

you mean how it says its 2020 oh wait it still does? lol

[rigid pivot]

what is the best way to do automatic backups of the world?

wdym by that?

[trim hill]

Hmm. Just set up a fresh server, but my game client is version mismatched. Game is 174686, server is 174506, I thought server kept itself up to date. Any ideas?

[real wing]

Thats sasying the server is newer then your client so your game needs to update

wait nvm miss read

[wicked knot]

if its thru steam, update it on the downloads page. If SteamCMD, run the script with -update

[real wing]

or in my case its through a host I just stop/start my server so it depends on the route your using

[wicked knot]

OK, should be able to stop/quit/exit the server from the ingame console and it will update while down

[trim hill]

Ah, I've just been running it via ./FactoryServer.sh, guess that doesn't auto update. I'll create the systemctl service and that'll handle it right?

[real wing]

yeah so you need to update it with steamcmd then

[wicked knot]

if the steamcmd script is right, stopping the service will prompt it, and update

[trim hill]

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir "/home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer" +app_update 1690800 validate +quit this cmd?

think imma just scp the sysctl service onto new server and be done with it lol

[wicked knot]

m.2 FTW

[trim hill]

Okay, claimed the server through the wizard, now wants a save. Am I good to just scp the .sav files from old server into the right dir? cc @quick mist

[wicked knot]

you can load directly from the console in game as well

[trim hill]

not to speak ill of the game, but i dont trust that thing

Hmm I moved the .savfiles into server/ directory

restarted

still says i need to create a save

[wicked knot]

manage saves and load

[trim hill]

No previous saves

Nothin in that 'Load Save' tab - do I need to set a session name in server settings?

[wicked knot]

I keep getting this after I play some without the server. Same game, just trying to sync the files thru the console

As soon as I go to load, or upload, the connection breaks. Server is still up, but cant connect (localhost)

indeed

[trim hill]

Ah according to wiki I do need to specify the session name. Just gotta work what random crap I whacked in there last time lmao

[wicked knot]

prolly not

I cant host friends, yet, no static IP, and behind the ISPs NAT

0.0.0.0 is the modern 127.0.0.1, no?

[tender hornet]

Hello I am having issues getting the nitrado server working. I was able to load it onto the server but was not able to do the initial connect. Has anyone had a similar experience?

[versed merlin]

Check with Nitrado's support, if you haven't already. We're not able to assist with stuff like that.

[tender hornet]

I have already reached out. Thank you.

[sturdy geyser]

does hosting through SteamCMD work better than the Satisfactory provided app?

at this moment?

[wicked knot]

grrrr, it should give an overwrite option

[real wing]

it should be like "do you want to overwite?" then you click yes or no. hope they do that

[trim hill]

I'm quite confused here, if anyone could help that'd be much appreciated. I've set the new server up, done the wizard to give the server a name. I've uploaded 3 of my autosave files onto the new server, and given the new server the same session name as the old server. Still can't work out how to load the saves in. Any ideas?

[wicked knot]

because now I get this

Thankfully, I deleted an autosave, not the main game save

[trim hill]

I downloaded the .sav files from the old server, and uploaded to corresponding directory on new server.

[wicked knot]

yeah, imma have to

[trim hill]

yep

[alpine dawn]

oh...you mean I didnt have to pee on it?

[trim hill]

haven't created a save on the new server, no

I can't load a save because there's nothing in there to load

p sure it's in the right place

[versed merlin]

That didn't answer the question. 🙂

[wicked knot]

aaaaaand, right back to this

lol OK

Just presenting evidence as I find it. Put me in a queue

[trim hill]

I'm SSH'd in as root but server runs as steam

OOPS I spotted it

LOL sorry

Works a treat when you put it in the right place! 🤣 Thanks for the help all.

Gonna ask while I'm here; the reason I'm switching to a diff server is because my old one got compromised by what appears to be a crpyto miner lmao. I had forgotten to turn the UFW firewall on initially, so I guess it's just that, but figured it's worth raising in case anyone else has had this issue?

[quick mist]

yeah, having your firewall set up is super important (:

[trim hill]

haha of course, figured it was just that (it's on now!!)

[quick mist]

while you're at it, shut down any services you're not actually using just to reduce the exposure surface

[trim hill]

I've got literally only satisfactory.service systemctl process running, and ufw only allows SSH and satisfactory ports.

[quick mist]

I'm on my lunch break (:

but I have an eye over here nonetheless

aye, esp. now that I've added that one FAQ to the wiki

[sour yoke]

gave up on the one port thing?

[quick mist]

it was rolled back for FICsmas

work will resume on it

[sour yoke]

fair

I am a sucker for video games with holiday events

[tough hinge]

so, any commands to enable the xmas event on a server? it was working, then i edited the file on the interactive map and now its not working 😦

[quick mist]

so long as the date when the server is started is correct, and the disablement parameter or command have not been used you should be good to go

[tough hinge]

i reloaded back to 3 saves before, and still not working (all of the saves were after the even t started) i see there was another update today, ill update the server and see if that helps

[alpine dawn]

FG.DisableSeasonalEvents 0 in the server console and restart the server

that worked for some other people in here

yes

[quick mist]

0 as in "do not disable"

"do you want me to stop this thing?" "No"

0 makes sense

[wicked knot]

what's the launch argument for "fix my candy cane basher"?

[quick mist]

-ExtraPeppermint

[wicked knot]

lol

[onyx totem]

Do you know a good docker package for my dedicated server ?

The better version of linux pour host my server ? Debian ? Ubuntu ?

[quick mist]

that's entirely a matter of taste

personally I'm running on Ubuntu Server

Debian, Fedora, Rocky, Gentoo, Arch, Skackware, Suse. . whatever you prefer

I suggest not Kali though

[onyx totem]

😋

My server run on synology NAS 😉

if anyone need information tell me

[bold atlas]

Is there an option to have the server quit once there's an update available, so it'll update?

[alpine dawn]

ooh that would be good, script it to check for updates and apply them if there are any then restart

no so good if they release an update while you are playing

[tough hinge]

following up, i updated the server with todays update, and ficsmas is back! thank you

[quick mist]

eventually we'll have an API we can hit to send messages to players on the server.

[bold atlas]

SIGTERM appears to gracefully quit it.

[alpine dawn]

what if I am flying across a massively deep hole and the server just disconnects me

guess just RIP once I reload

[bold atlas]

I have it all running in a systemd unit, so it's just systemctl restart satisfactory, but if I could make it quit automatically it'd be updating already. I'll just have to figure out Steam's API, I guess.

[quick mist]

ADA> FICSIT Inc. has prepared a new update. Your Pioneer interface will shortly be restarted. Brace for shutdown in: 300 seconds

or somesuch

alternate idea would be to set an option to have the server shut down rather than self-restart every 24h of uptime

then systemd could take care up the update check at the same time

[alpine dawn]

just need to check if players are connected

if there are wait until there arent

[quick mist]

yep, all theoretically doable in the future

just wish I new how to pull the Steam Depot data like steamdb does

[alpine dawn]

I mean I am sure its doable now if you can program good enough...the server status screen has a ton of details before you even connect and one of the details is how many players are connected

[quick mist]

I can see what CL version a server is running with my sfping tool

what I can't see is what CL version Steam has on the storefront

the build ID and the CL version are not the same

if I knew the APi endpoint to pull the depot data though I could at least watch it for changes

[alpine dawn]

need to setup a sniffer between my pc and my server and with any luck all the communications are not encrypted 😛

[versed merlin]

Yeah, I just did a cronjob to have systemd restart the service every 12th hour. That takes care of the SteamCMD running to ensure validation and updating of files as needed. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide any warning to players before yanking the hypertube out from under them.

[quick mist]

the query protocol is in the clear, and implemented at https://github.com/dopeghoti/SF-Tools

at least part of it is (implemented, that is; I only had the docs on one message type datagram)

[alpine dawn]

ah

[bold atlas]

Instead of doing that, just set Deadline=43200 in the unit config and Restart=on-abnormal (or always)

[alpine dawn]

yeah so to get the more juicy details you would need to send authentication data to the server so it will expose the session details

[quick mist]

that would work Baughn but I prefer keeping the right tool doing the right job. systemd is for managing daemons; cron is for scheduling

[fleet yoke]

Windows 11

Then you can put it on a Raspberry Pi 🙂

[quick mist]

well based on how the client works at the very least I should be able to get the server name

[alpine dawn]

oh yeah

[quick mist]

no, for several reasons

[alpine dawn]

maybe

[bold atlas]

Or a systemd.timer. 🙂

[alpine dawn]

lol no

[fleet yoke]

What reasons? 🤔

[marsh dawn]

1. pi is arm
2. lack of memory
3. poor cpu
4. ... other stuff

[fleet yoke]

Raspberry Pi 4Bs have 8GB of RAM, and I've managed to run an Astroneer server on it before

although yeah, the CPU is a limiting factor

[marsh dawn]

You also lack a native ARM executable atm.

[alpine dawn]

you would need something significantly quicker than a Pi to run the emulation component alone

[fleet yoke]

yeah

[versed merlin]

Once we get a arm64 architecture for the satisfactory server, I'm definitely gonna do one on my pi4 8gb just for giggles 😄

[quick mist]

saying "I can run this other server just fine" is like saying "I drove my car to the deli for lunch; what do you mean it's not good for 24 Hours of le Mans?!"

[fleet yoke]

if I had more time, I'd definitely do it for giggles lol

[alpine dawn]

this is all just re-enforcing my want of a blade server chassis

:/

bet I can get one semi cheap

[quick mist]

the chassis are (relatively) cheap; they're just a microrack and integrated power supply and KVM. It's the blades that are the spendy bits

[alpine dawn]

yeah...need to check online auctions

sometimes see them in whole lots with other shit

[merry bolt]

Is it normal that players have to wait 30 seconds or more before they can move after entering the world on a dedicated server?

[alpine dawn]

no...have you tried watching resource utilization on the server when that happens?

I suspect you are maxing out your servers single core abilities

[merry bolt]

Other people in the world are not impacted by the event, only the person who just joined

I would expect a resource issue to affect all players

[versed merlin]

Possibly client side? or is it something that happens to all players that join, regardless of their client system's specs?

If I was joining on my work laptop, I'd expect it to chug while it tryies to load everything

[merry bolt]

Happens to all players, even me who is sitting right next to the server machine on the same network. If I restart the server and join it immediately, then I don't get stuck waiting, but if the server has been running for a minute or two (or longer) then I get the waiting

The FPS is fine. I can look around, swing my xeno basher, etc. I just cannot move

[versed merlin]

yeah, then it's possibly a resource utilitization issue. See if you can grab some resource graphs as players join so you can see what's getting hit hardest

[alpine dawn]

@merry bolt is the world you are in newly generated from the server or is it a save game that you copied from a single player game?

[merry bolt]

Generated by the server

[alpine dawn]

hm ok

whats the storage media you are using on the server?

sounds like IO wait

[merry bolt]

sata ssd

oh no actually the server is nvme

[alpine dawn]

should be plenty fast

[merry bolt]

it seems like the issue gets worse as we build more and more things in the world, but hard to tell for sure

[versed merlin]

What's the server's CPU ?

[alpine dawn]

anyway...the best way to troubleshoot would be to monitor server resources while people join and see if you spot anything unusual

[merry bolt]

CPU is Ryzen 7 1800X

[alpine dawn]

if you are low on ram it would be swapping to disk which would also cause weirdness

but a reasonably new setup should have at least 8GB

[merry bolt]

total ram usage is only 24%

[alpine dawn]

yeah

[merry bolt]

it has 64gb

[alpine dawn]

that aint it

I just feel bad now because my POS fileserver can run this no prob

lmao

and people have massive machines struggling

[versed merlin]

I"m imagining Greg and I swapping the whiteboard checklist back and forth. "Nope. next" "Nope. you're in"

LOL

[merry bolt]

watching CPU utilization while joining. No single core is maxing out

Others in the world can still move and build and everything while i am stuck

[versed merlin]

Yep. that's bizzare. Check the server logs for when you were joining and see if something jumps out. Then check the QA site.

If you don't see anything similar to your issue, defintiely post it.

[merry bolt]

one core occasionally peaks to 100% for a moment here and there, but that is not changing based on whether i am loading in or not.

[alpine dawn]

may want to re-verify the server files as well if you havent done that recently...although you likely had to since there was a patch today

[celest furnace]

can we play early access on a dedi server yet?

[alpine dawn]

yes

[versed merlin]

yes

[celest furnace]

or is it still exp.?

[alpine dawn]

no

[celest furnace]

oh nice

wait

[alpine dawn]

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

all your questions are answered there

[versed merlin]

That's normal, since the game's main calculations are still single threaded, even though it will occasionally spawn workers threads as needed.

[celest furnace]

TY

[versed merlin]

it's possible that your save file, as it gets bigger and bigger and bigger, is hitting the CPU harder, and each person that joins spikes it a bit

I mean, at this point, we're playing SHerlock Holmes and eliminating possibilities.

[merry bolt]

it makes no sense that only the joining player would be impacted by an overloaded server cpu.

[versed merlin]

agreed. what do your log files say?

have you checked the QA site?

[merry bolt]

the log files have lots to say but nothing stands out to me

[versed merlin]

Off to the QA site then. 🙂 post it up and see if it's also affecting others.

cause that's gotta be annoying.

[alpine dawn]

literally the only other off the wall thing I could think of would be drivers/OS updates but if nothing else is suspect then I doubt thats the issue

[merry bolt]

I see a few messages like this the moment I load into the world

LogNetTraffic: Warning: Notification::ProcessReceivedAcks - Missed Acks: AckedSeq: 14833, OutAckSeq: 14414, FirstMissingSeq: 14415 Count: 163

Is that normal?

[celest furnace]

weird. i can access my server

cant*

[versed merlin]

That's not weird. we can't either.

[alpine dawn]

lol

working as intended

[versed merlin]

BOOM. solved

[trim shadow]

me and my friends have a server through steam servers and 2 out of the 3 players can build without having the items in their inventory, does anyone know how to fix this? it breaks the realism of the game for us when you can just build anything

thats what we thought but one person who setup the server is the one who can not place without having the items

[alpine dawn]

looks like 163 missed ACKs if I am reading that right...

likely accounts for ~30seconds of not moving

haha

[merry bolt]

Not sure. The message prints 4 times and has completely different count numbers each time. they all print at once in a fraction of a second.

[trim shadow]

do you know the command for the steamcmd. is it different than the in game console command

[versed merlin]

check the wiki

Instructions are there

for running the server software via SteamCMD

[merry bolt]

Does anyone else see those missed acks warnings the moment a player loads into the world? i dont want to spend time tracking down something that isnt actually the problem

[alpine dawn]

lemme check my logs

[trim shadow]

i think i am stupid, i dont see a steamcmd command for nocost on the satifactory wiki page.

[pine cave]

will the dedicated server EVER work again? I mean its server mismatch now for like 2 weeks?

[versed merlin]

That's bevause it isn't there. that's a savegame editor thing.

[vocal jungle]

works for me

[versed merlin]

There IS no command to activate the nocost thing via steamcmd.

[pine cave]

how? the steam client is way above dedicated server and there is no update

[paper bone]

Hi everyone, I just got a dedicated server and it seems to be stuck on "private" and won't let me change to "friends only". Any advice?

[versed merlin]

I'm running an Early Access server and play just fine with my Early Access clients.

[pine cave]

Which Versions do you have CubGeek?

[versed merlin]

If I installed the Exp server, and ran the Exp client, I could play on that, too

[alpine dawn]

looking at my logs I think that log entry might be a red herring

[vocal jungle]

yes i get them aswell there not important

[alpine dawn]

I got a ton of them

[merry bolt]

Usually a version mismatch happens because someone is updating a different copy of the server than they are actually running. it is easy to accidentally get two copies of the server and not realize it

Thank you both for checking

[paper bone]

Oh really? Thats a relief. I hope it works later when my friend joins

[versed merlin]

Us too. otherwise you'll be back here again. ;P

[pine cave]

so my game version is now 174686... so there exists a dedicated server with that version?

[vocal jungle]

yes

[merry bolt]

The current dedicated server version is 174686

[pine cave]

great now how to find out why the servers doesnt detect that update

[merry bolt]

are you updating using steamcmd or some other method?

[versed merlin]

did you install via SteamCMD?

[pine cave]

no, it wasnt me anyway, it was two of my friends. but no its one of these game server softwares for linux

[alpine dawn]

bet they just installed via steam gui

oh

[merry bolt]

If you use steamcmd, it is important that you specify a force_install_dir and that you specify it as a full path (not a relative path)

[alpine dawn]

GSM

[versed merlin]

"those game server softwares for linux" yeah, that's not helpful. 🙂

[alpine dawn]

its likely GSM

[pine cave]

yeah i know I will get a login myself now...

[alpine dawn]

or some other gui

[pine cave]

i was just playing up to two weeks ago, but now its constantly down

[silent sequoia]

is there supposed to be so many presents on the map lmao

[versed merlin]

If your friends installed it, then they need to update it. If they have it hosted with a service, then you need to talk to that service's support.

[pine cave]

its a cloud based VM. but yeah we get it done

just friggin annoying

[alpine dawn]

thats not enough presents for me

[merry bolt]

i think it spawns about 10 presents in an area around a player, and if you pick one up a new one will fall to replace it

[silent sequoia]

are they gonna block vehicles from getting through

[merry bolt]

no idea

[versed merlin]

try it!

hit e'm with a train!

[alpine dawn]

FOR SCIENCE!

[silent sequoia]

u think ive got trains yet lmao

[versed merlin]

truck?

cart?

[merry bolt]

if a present derails a train there are going to be some amusing videos going out

[versed merlin]

work with me here!

[silent sequoia]

why so many presents though lmao

[alpine dawn]

god I want so badly for a train to go flying

[versed merlin]

does it matter, really? claim 'em and move on.

[silent sequoia]

they keep falling thats why im wondering

[merry bolt]

i just tested that i can drive my explorer right through a present with no collision

[versed merlin]

"Oh, no, Santa, I couldn't possibly take more than one gift!"

"I mean, what about the poor lizard doggos?"

meanwhile, I'm all like "Screw that, I'll take his leftovers"

[silent sequoia]

do the lizards even work on servers

[versed merlin]

Well, "work" is a misnomer.

THey mainly frolic

[silent sequoia]

i tame one i walk away they disappear to never be seen again

omg i just said that and it came back

thats a first

[versed merlin]

MY POWER IS ABSOLUTE

[silent sequoia]

wonder where my other 50 lizards are

[versed merlin]

got me, you're on yer own

😄

I'm good for one lizard doggo recall

[vocal jungle]

oh how i missed boom boom balls

[merry bolt]

if you keep them in a pen so they dont get lost and have them standing on a foundation or something above ground so they dont fall through the world when you get out of range, then they should stick around.

[versed merlin]

GOd it's a slow day here at work. 😄 But we've stabbed almost 1000 people today!

On track to hit 1200 before close.

stabby stabby

(vaccine site)

[quick mist]

was gonna say, please tell me you're issuing innoculations and not hired by an extremely prolific serial killer

[silent sequoia]

i leave the server running for a week and its all backed up and broken 😦

[versed merlin]

Mayyyybe. I mean, ther are new episodes of Dexter....

[summer ravine]

so is there a way to shutdown the server on windows without getting into the console? With the version mismatch i am not able to get into the Console and shut it down right

[silent sequoia]

pulseway and kill the process and setup a script to update if you want to do it remotely 🤷‍♂️

[merry bolt]

there does not seem to be any other way. just kill it (using ctrl+c or whatever)

[summer ravine]

dang, ok thanks!

[merry bolt]

As long as the server isn't saving when you kill it, it will be fine (and you can see when it is saving if you watch the log)

Feel free to upvote this if you want a better way to shutdown the server: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/617897da831c852052352b18

[summer ravine]

done!

sadly i feel Linux has better features than windows lol

[silent sequoia]

i get really bad performance on windows compared to ubuntu

[merry bolt]

Someone mentioned that sending a sigint on Linux actually initiates a clean shutdown. the closest thing to that on windows is ctrl+c which does not (though it does for many other game's servers)

[summer ravine]

I'm not against Linux, I just dont have a spare machine to run it on

[silent sequoia]

hyper v

[onyx totem]

Question, after installation of steamcmd on my ubuntu how i know the directory ? I can"t execute the "steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit" because steamcmd not found 😦

[silent sequoia]

run it in a virtual machine and give it dynamic ram

[merry bolt]

i run my game servers on a Windows Server OS and it seems to be fine. The server versions of Windows are a lot more lightweight and run more stable than other versions.

[summer ravine]

the 24 hour restart drives me nuts, a lot of times I am not around when it happens so it just shuts down lol

on windows, the restart doesn't actually restart the server

[quick mist]

interesting, and I can see why that'd be vexing

[merry bolt]

i run my server under a process that monitors it and auto restarts it

[quick mist]

but see the running as a service page

if it's run as a service it should self-restart

[onyx totem]

I'm on, but nothing work 🙂

[summer ravine]

i tried that, but didn't really work for me, but I'll give it another try

[silent sequoia]

what was the message when you installed steamcmd

it might be wanting something else installed

If you are using a 64 bit machine you will need to add multiverse

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install lib32gcc1 steamcmd ```

[onyx totem]

Its already installed

and multiverse too

[silent sequoia]

let me setup a vm to test 2 secs

[onyx totem]

I follow the wiki valvesoftware

for install steamcmd on linux

[silent sequoia]

did you do this?

ln -s /usr/games/steamcmd steamcmd

nvm dont

infact yeah try it i thought that was for the arch but it doesnt specify

[onyx totem]

yes in did

If i try "steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit" the error is steamcmd is available on /usr/games/steamcmd

... the variable is not includ on PATH environment

steamcmd command not found

[quick mist]

are you running as root?

[onyx totem]

Yes with root

[quick mist]

don't do that

(/usr/games is not on root's path)

[onyx totem]

oh I need to use the steam user ?

[quick mist]

(and you should not run ANYTHING as root that you don't absolutely need to)

[silent sequoia]

useradd -m steam
sudo su steam
cd /home/steam

[quick mist]

the steam user or make a satisfactory user; whatever you like

but the root user should only be used for system administration, and that sparingly

[onyx totem]

I'm beginner on linux

How I can switch root to steam user ?

[quick mist]

Basically treat the root user like it's running around at full tilt swinging a sledgehammer in the direction you point it at

su - steam will become the steam user once it exists

[onyx totem]

Find the answer myslef

lol

[quick mist]

I would suggest also (and this you would do as root) setting steam's password with passwd steam.

[onyx totem]

Thanks a lot

[hard dove]

So I’ve come across the situation where my pc is being replaced but due to its age they can only reimburse me rather then repair , if one was to host a server and wana play on it whats the minimum I’ll want for a cpu ?

I’ve read single thread strength helps a lot but I’ve been outta the look regarding ryzens ability to compete in that area

Loop*

It was a i7 8700 , any thing that would improve from my previous pc or was my i7 doing it perfectly fine

[potent shell]

Has anyone come up with a fix for the Login failed: Invalid authentication token. error?

I'll try verify the files, but it's more than just a warning:

[2021.12.01-22.52.29:398][218]LogSpawn: Warning: Login failed: Invalid authentication token.                                                              
[2021.12.01-22.52.29:398][218]LogNet: Join failure: Invalid authentication token.  

[bold atlas]

There are massive improvements between a Zen 1 and a Zen 3 CPU, but the 8700 should work fine for anything but a megabase really.

[hard dove]

So I was looking at either the 5900x or 5950x . My budget can either reuse my old gpu or I’ll have to buy a prebuilt to get a gpu

And get a much lesser cpu

[worn talon]

Has there been any news for dedicated servers on epic?

[hard dove]

Unfortunately my son snuck in an got the majority of his bottle of formula into the top of my omen or I wouldn’t even be considering a replacement

But I figure since my accidental protection plan is replacing it I might as well look into the proper specs for hosting some small servers

[quick mist]

|| This has been your periodic reminder that the best kids are the ones you can send back to their parents and/or guardians ||

[potent shell]

I did the verification and restart but it didn't work. Just for the record, I managed to fix the Invalid authentication token error by removing and re-adding the server entry from my server list.

^ I did that so I'd be able to find it the next time this happens to me

[candid python]

Hey guys/gals I was wondering if there a possible chance that I can change the port number per instances so I can have two instances or more ( depending on ram ), one for a older game experimental and the other for a new game to start with my friends which I do have an older windows 10 with 32 GB of ram act like my personal server. I figure if I can change port then I can have multiple instances.

both games update 5

[quick mist]

yes, if you have the horsepower you can run multiple servers. By default they will automagically look for the next port up, but you can also specify ports; see the Wiki for details.

[candid python]

yea i am looking at it now and copied this: If you want to run multiple instances of the server on one computer you will have to override at least one port ok thx for the help i must of over looked it

[pine dock]

Hey together ... it is 0:35 on my side but I can not open the 2nd door of the FICSMAS Calendar 2021 on the MP Server. I checked to what Timezone our server is set and it's exactly the same timezone as my own ones so what may cause this problem?

[jagged jungle]

Have the vehicle or slug issues in multiplayer been resolved with dedicated servers?

[pine dock]

Slug issue?

[jagged jungle]

If you joined someone else's game you'd see slugs in the distance but as you got closer they would vanish because they'd already been collected.

I don't want to go through the trouble of firing up a dedicated server just to check. If it works the exact same as multiplayer I can check that way. I was really hoping in a server this large to just find someone who's familiar enough with multiple issues to know if they still exist on dedicated.

Is the bug site the QA site?

[fading quarry]

hehe and do use adduser and not useradd or you might get problems with autocomplete on ubuntu (i just assume that is what ppl run^^)

Do dedicated server benefit from having multiple cpu cores available?

perfect

[jagged jungle]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/617fb84e831c85205235842c Looks like it's still broken. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

[fading quarry]

confirmed, i just had that happen a few times today

[bold plinth]

I get that a few times before but recently don't see it as much on dedicated server, at least my dedicated server, also depends on if everything was called or loaded before you loaded in

[warped oriole]

Is there a way to use UPnP to open the game port on windows?

[jagged jungle]

According to the bug site it's still a thing. I have several friends who want to buy the game and do multiplayer but with vehicles and slugs broken like that only the host can collect slugs.

[warped oriole]

firewall isn't UPnP.

UPnP is used to automatically open ports on the router without logging into the router.

[bold plinth]

Slugs is the only thing for me vehicles I rarely have any trouble with them

[quick mist]

the "slug issue" is still a thing in DS as it is in SP and listen servers

[fading quarry]

@jagged jungle well it does only appear to be a visual bug, both me and my friends can collect slugs they just render even after being collected at a long distance.

[quick mist]

it's a client rendering issue

[warped oriole]

Can't open ports manually cuz I don't have the password, but I know the router has the best UPnP support

[bold plinth]

I also use ovh and Intel xeon 3.6-9GHZ soo I don't get that many problems

[bold plinth]

I think that is why I rarely see it often

[quick mist]

just factory-reset the router and then you have the password

[jagged jungle]

That's where it becomes major annoyance. Anyone other than the host looking for them will see one in the distance, go to collect it and not see that it's already been collected until they're fairly close.

No way to be sure what you're seeing it really there or not.

[warped oriole]

Bruh, naah

[quick mist]

set scanner to Slug. If it doesn't see one in the direction you see one, you know it's a mirage

(now if only crash sites would stop signaling when their drives were removed...)

[bold plinth]

Now in experimental I did geta ghost slug but that since been fixed

[quick mist]

the first DS release with no power lights and slug sparks still being there after picking slugs up sure was a trip (:

[bold plinth]

Like it pinged but was not there, note this is before 5 went stable

Yea

[jagged jungle]

Haha that's a good work around, thanks. I think they want to wait though.

[cobalt thorn]

Hey there, I am running a dedicated server on windows 10 with satisfactory experimental, and** I was wondering if there's some command I can enter in console to disable this holiday event?** The server didn't start crashing regularly till the event was toggled on in the wee hours of the morning a couple of days ago. I see its been toggled off and then now as of today back on after the update. Thanks!

[bold plinth]

Pins

[cobalt thorn]

nevermind

i see the pin

TYVM

oh ty

love u

[bold plinth]

Your welcome and np

[bold plinth]

I say wait till the dedicated server gets some more stuff added to it feature wise

[jagged jungle]

I think that's what we're going to do, thanks. I was a little hopeful that with them being released some of this stuff might have gotten a little love but with how much of a pain multiplayer bugs are programming wise I can see why they'd fix them last.

[vagrant ravine]

I rebooted and logged in to confirm the ficsmas worked then apparently they pushed out a client update 5mins after that today lol

Anyone know why this is happening though? I did "login anonymous" then trying to update and it appears to be hanging

Oh nm it finally changed to downloading, just took like a minute.

[fervent wharf]

^^^ same issue here

Nothing says downloading though

And now its up

wtf lol

[kind depot]

I can't get my server to update 😦

[versed zephyr]

I get stuff like this occasionally, nobody is currently playing on the server, and I know the port isn't open, is this some sort of "call home"?
[2021.12.02-00.41.32:117][462]LogNet: NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: [::ffff:37.44.238.35]:60263

hmm, quick googling leads me to believe it is most likely a port scanner.

[fringe vine]

Not sure where to ask this question so i will post here to begin with. I have a server through GTXgaming and have already completed the steam update that was pushed out today but I am still getting the client mismatch. Is there something else that I need to do?

[stuck mango]

defs looks like the port is open lel

[fringe vine]

clicked this like always and went through the process

[stuck mango]

try it again or contact your service's tech support?

manually restart the server?

[fringe vine]

already did both and they directed me here to talk with devs

[stuck mango]

mine pulled in the update when I triggered it this morning, as would others here, I assume

(i'm using raw steamcmd, not external service)

[fringe vine]

gtxgaming hub like i said...and thanks for your help but i will wait for others

[lime elm]

Do mods work with dedicated server?

[kindred violet]

Do you get to see the console output of the command they are running?

[zenith nimbus]

Just spent an hour combing through Nitrado. Because they are the ones downloading the server, we aren't able to switch branches since we don't have access to the command they run to perform that download. It is likely the only way to get the EA branch on Nitrado will be to either
a) wait for customer support and for them to update their service with an experimental and non-experimental version of the install or
b) if you are tech savvy and willing to suffer through their interface (or FTP I suppose), you can manually replace the artifacts after downloading them on another machine.

If anyone managed to get the EA branch running on Nitrado, let me know. I don't have the time to do option B myself lol

(And if you do B, make sure to back up your saves and server settings, since re-installing the server will probably wipe your saves)

Oh I know they know how to fix it, when they'll fix it is up in the air. We don't have access to the install line as far as I can tell, otherwise I'd fix it myself.

Possible, but doesn't seem to be the case as far as I can tell. They probably keep the steam CMD calls out of our reach to prevent you from running a different game.

a betas field would be nice. Looking at other games though, they just seem to have different branches configured as different games rather than giving you access to set the branch.

[paper bone]

It worked for me!

[velvet badger]

Guys! Im running off a virtual box being hosted and I am getting steamcmd issues! WHy does it hang at loading stamp api

This is Ubuntu!

I followed online guide with a clean install

I ran

steamcmd ./FactoryServer.sh -unattended

and that is the result

It doesnt go any farther

oh

[quick mist]

which online guide gave you that command? Because it needs to be booped on the nose with a spoon.

[velvet badger]

I couldnt run ./FactoryServer.sh after running the long command

so I ctrl c get out and ran as a full command

you use the ./steamcmd.sh +... command to install steam applications
once you have instaled the game go to the directory where you installed it then run ./FactoryServer.sh -log -unattended

[velvet badger]

I read above that the symbolic link was important so I did that just now

Im running on digital ocean and I just set up steamcmd and some libraries

Its running the long command now

Is there a way to upload a save file?

[alpine dawn]

yep its on the wiki as well

[velvet badger]

nice!

[alpine dawn]

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

[velvet badger]

Holy! The text is much different now

Many thanks @slim spoke !

Im having nat issues atm

[velvet badger]

actually the server was up and allowed me to set it up!

But now it crashed 😦

Right after I selected the save file

rip

[warped oriole]

Found a solution using a program called miniupnpc 😄

[velvet badger]

@slim spoke

[alpine dawn]

system specs?

[velvet badger]

hmm

[alpine dawn]

how much ram specifically

[velvet badger]

its a virtual box with 4gb ram

[alpine dawn]

thats the problem

I bet it has no swap setup

[velvet badger]

how much ram do I need?

[alpine dawn]

at least 6

[velvet badger]

hmm

would swap make it work?

[alpine dawn]

maybe

check if it has any

free -m

process is getting killed because the system is out of ram

and I bet if its a VPS it has no swap

he will need to create a swap file, I would suggest creating one with 2x the amount of ram you have

anyway, linux is actually very good with memory management and will try to offload as much static shit to swap to keep the ram free

oof that sounds not ideal @slim spoke

stop smokin the green stuff and that wont happen

lol

all good I was just jokin around anyway

@velvet badger you dead bru?

[velvet badger]

ok

I need green stuff

[alpine dawn]

lmao

[gusty nexus]

my satisfactory multiplayer not working
pc is old game pc and singleplayer are no problems
if join multiplayer(slow loading game) it kick me by connection to host are lost.
also 20mb read hdd inside
not dedicated server

[velvet badger]

Nice pfp

also is 4gb swap ok for a 4gb server

[alpine dawn]

like I said I would go 2x the ram

but you can give it a try

I will be interested to see if it works on 4GB

[velvet badger]

I did 4gb swap so now I should be good with (8x)

[alpine dawn]

no you misunderstood me

2x the ram so 8GB of swap

[velvet badger]

8gb swap?

wow

[alpine dawn]

you might be fine with 4

but yeah I run 16GB

[velvet badger]

ok

[alpine dawn]

since my server has 8GB

[vocal jungle]

i do a min of 2x to ram for swap

[velvet badger]

how do I turn it off to change it XD

lol it says not mounted yet mounted at same time

[alpine dawn]

swapoff /swapfile

[velvet badger]

nice

wtf writes this shit

lol

[alpine dawn]

swappiness is a thing man

XD

[velvet badger]

arg now I cant run in root, but Idk why it worked before

My steam usr apparently lost permissions when I stopped looking at it

[alpine dawn]

as root chown -R steam:steam /root/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer

something like that should give that folder and all subfolders back to steam

[velvet badger]

How did You know i messed with chown XD

[vocal jungle]

because that what people like you do

[alpine dawn]

your steam user didnt have permissions to run chmod -x in the FactoryServer.sh

[velvet badger]

Im user I will lauch about this when Im older

same error wtf

[alpine dawn]

screenshot of everything you did

[alpine dawn]

pretty sure the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is broken

[velvet badger]

Im doing fresh install after the swap file business

nvm it was there

[vocal jungle]

might want to power down and reinstall and then have someone that can read do it for you 🙂

[alpine dawn]

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/linux64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./FactoryServer.sh

try that

as steam user

I bet it launches

[vocal jungle]

i will take that bet 🙂

[velvet badger]

wait? In the linux console

[alpine dawn]

yes

[velvet badger]

am I supposed to like set the path?

Cause that doesnt work

[alpine dawn]

in the same directory you were in before

[velvet badger]

do like? LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/linux64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./FactoryServer.sh

export nothing?

[alpine dawn]

yes

[velvet badger]

ok

[alpine dawn]

and you verified the file is in fact there

[velvet badger]

the swap?

[vocal jungle]

what did i win

[velvet badger]

Idk what LD_LIBRARY_PATH is

FactoryServer is there

[vocal jungle]

sweet

[alpine dawn]

attaboi

[alpine dawn]

sorry no

make sure the .so file is there

[velvet badger]

steamclient.so is

[alpine dawn]

/root/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/Engine/Binaries/Linux/libUE4Server-Core-Linux-Shipping.so

is that file there

[velvet badger]

oh

[alpine dawn]

it says its missing

[velvet badger]

ye

No its there

[alpine dawn]

you also get an attaboi

[vocal jungle]

he should just reinstall and not put it in /root/

[alpine dawn]

yeah something is clearly fucked

[velvet badger]

Is that what that file looks like?

[vocal jungle]

no

[alpine dawn]

I mean

if you just ran cat on a library file

sure

haha

[velvet badger]

lol

[vocal jungle]

true

but why would you

[velvet badger]

I wanted to see inside

[vocal jungle]

hows that working out for you

[velvet badger]

It led me to the shinning angel im responding to now

[vocal jungle]

funny thing is i am normally that person that helps the hard to solve cases but i just wanted to watch the world burn tonight

[velvet badger]

I was hoping to do this before work tomorrow so I can appreciate sweet gains

[vocal jungle]

step one reinstall using the wiki guide in a step by step fassion with out skipping any parts

[alpine dawn]

not taking artistic liberties usually leads to better results

[velvet badger]

So I dont know why this made a differnece but I logged into ssh with a different window and now it werks

ty

[alpine dawn]

oh cool

[velvet badger]

long story short it was dns

[alpine dawn]

ah so it starts completely

are you able to connect to it?

[velvet badger]

im holding my breath

Im loading in!

[alpine dawn]

sweet

[velvet badger]

By GOD it WERKS!

[alpine dawn]

hope 4GB is enough

[velvet badger]

lol

What should I do as a stress test

[alpine dawn]

I mean you will have to build out a factory

[velvet badger]

Is that what making a tone of buildings slows it down?

[alpine dawn]

the more machines you have the more RAM

[velvet badger]

too many assetts?

[hollow heath]

anyone here have some experience running the server on ARM Ubuntu Linux via oracle cloud? Im well aware that the wiki explicitly said it wont support it, but I've managed to run server files that dont support arm like terraria using mono and was wondering if it would work with the same method

[alpine dawn]

you would need an x86 emulator that supports all the advanced instruction sets

and the processor would need to be extremely fast

[fossil stump]

my first question would be why you would want to? you're not gaining anything by using ARM instead of x86...

[alpine dawn]

and actually it would need to be x86_64 emulator

[hollow heath]

its cheaper

[alpine dawn]

since the files are 64bit

[hollow heath]

but yea I'm kinda regretting it now

[fossil stump]

given the performance hit you'd need to pay for a lot more cpu power, so I'm pretty sure the cost would work out the same in the end

just use something like a digital ocean droplet

[alpine dawn]

yup, I have several with them

[hollow heath]

though do you gugys have any links for a good emu?

since the instance I'm using rn is free but has pretty good cpu clock speeds and 24 GBs of ram

[fossil stump]

or do like I've done, build a mini VM host 😄

[alpine dawn]

do you know what kinda processor and ram specs you have @hollow heath

[hollow heath]

lemme go check

[alpine dawn]

you need at least 6GB of ram

and for the performance hit on the processor it better be pushing 4GHz

[hollow heath]

2 Cores with each 3.0 Ghz, 64 KB L1 I-cache, 64 KB L1 D-cache, and 1 MB L2 D-cache

[fossil stump]

lol

[hollow heath]

ah

[fossil stump]

fuck no

[hollow heath]

im fucked

[fossil stump]

no fucking way in hell is that going to do it

[hollow heath]

seems like

Either way Ill try to see what it would be like and maybe invest in a digital ocean droplet

digital ocean and linode have similar prices right?

[alpine dawn]

out of curiosity how much was the vps you have

[hollow heath]

its free

[alpine dawn]

ah

this all makes sense now

[hollow heath]

forever apparently

[alpine dawn]

hell yeah if I got a free server I would try shit with it

[hollow heath]

it has 4 cores 24gbs of RAM by default

mhm

[fossil stump]

it's free for a reason

there's bugger all software support for it

[alpine dawn]

but yeah with the arch translation it dont got enough horsepower

[fossil stump]

they're doing it so people can build software for it without having to pay for the hardware first.

[hollow heath]

probs doing it so users get used to their service much like other business models

but im just using it for minecraft and terraria servers anyway

[alpine dawn]

java minecraft?

[hollow heath]

mhm

it runs modded servers pretty well

[alpine dawn]

ah yeah and you said the other one runs .net

anyway yeah for most game servers you need an x86 cpu

[hollow heath]

would exagear work as an emu? Found this while attempting to get SteamCMD

[fossil stump]

one way to find out

[alpine dawn]

try it and see

[hollow heath]

fingers crossed

[echo belfry]

Is the experimental version of the dedicated server working for anyone else?

Hmm, well, I just had to update it but, now it shows as running on the console but, in-game it says offline.

It was working for weeks without issue until just now when I had to update it

These are the most recent lines from console

[alpine dawn]

restart your client

if I leave mine open on the server screen it will show offline after a while

[echo belfry]

hmm, odd - ok. I'll try that

That worked

Weird.
