#

my client is also definetly in EA

#

did someone forget to actually make a dedicated server build for the new client update?

shadow zephyr Dec 19, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

not too sure since I play on EXP so dont have first-hand experience with this issue.

cloud beacon Dec 19, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

version 176027 came out the 17th december

tall oasis Dec 19, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

cloud beacon version 176027 came out the 17th december

but without a server it seems?

cloud beacon Dec 19, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

what do you use? because I updated mine yesterday and worked fine

tall oasis Dec 19, 2021, 6:40 PM

#

what do you mean?

#

I use this systemd service to manage the server

#

which should automatically fetch any updates

#

and since I just downloaded the server..

cloud beacon Dec 19, 2021, 6:40 PM

#

yes true and you updated it to make sure?

shadow zephyr Dec 19, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

Might be that steam gave you an older version during installation and it requires an update afterwards. Cant really think of another reason you would have an old version on a fresh download.

tall oasis Dec 19, 2021, 6:43 PM

#

oh

#

I figured it out

quick mist Dec 19, 2021, 6:43 PM

#

Installing to the wrong place?

tall oasis Dec 19, 2021, 6:44 PM

#

some idiot also set up a satisfactory server on the same machine

#

and it reserved the port

#

🤔

quick mist Dec 19, 2021, 6:44 PM

#

Ah

tall oasis Dec 19, 2021, 6:44 PM

#

well

#

I nuked that

shadow zephyr Dec 19, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

Yeah seen multiple accidental installs on the same machine because of force_install_dir.

tall oasis Dec 19, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

works now

#

derp

cloud beacon Dec 19, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

So I run a server for me and a couple of friends and we have 2 teams with different factory's so how worried should I be about the server not being able to handle it. can we both make big factory's ? the server has a r7 2700x and 16gb ram

shadow zephyr Dec 19, 2021, 6:57 PM

#

Thats gonna be something you find out as you progress imo. Dont know how thoroughly performance of dedicated servers have been compared to a standard multiplayer session, but I would expect dedicated servers to be on par or better.

harsh crane Dec 19, 2021, 7:04 PM

#

i have ea and do not run into this issue. my server updated just fine. are you on steamcmd or steamclient?

tepid imp Dec 19, 2021, 7:23 PM

#

Has there been any updates on enabling mods for dedicated servers?

pale root Dec 19, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

@cloud beacon this is the current usage of a server with 5 people on and off, current 2 online and a MASSIVE multi factory setup. 8.1gb server file size. No one is experiencing any issues so far.

@crude talon are your auto saves working fine?

crude talon Dec 19, 2021, 7:58 PM

no issues with the location it is saving to?

crude talon Dec 19, 2021, 8:01 PM

#

pale root no issues with the location it is saving to?

i mean i don't know where it's saving to
presumably where it's installed
so shouldn't be any issues

pale root Dec 19, 2021, 8:03 PM

towards the bottom of the wiki shows where to find the save location. It will also have your autosaves

since the autosaves are working
suggest the save location is fine
soo?

pale root Dec 19, 2021, 8:05 PM

#

crude talon since the autosaves are working suggest the save location is fine soo?

I would say yes, I really have not did a save on my current server as auto saves run and save on last connected is on. I will test it though to see what happens.

crude talon Dec 19, 2021, 8:05 PM

#

pale root I would say yes, I really have not did a save on my current server as auto saves...

well i can see the autosaves are fine

#

would just want to do one manual save just in case as well

#

and i looked the server autosaves are in my save folder with the other saves in appdata

pale root Dec 19, 2021, 8:08 PM

#

Mine completed fine with newsavetest1 , maybe wait to after an autosave happens and do a restart on the server and try again?

crude talon Dec 19, 2021, 8:08 PM

#

pale root Mine completed fine with newsavetest1 , maybe wait to after an autosave happens ...

restarting the server kind of defeats the point of the save because then i have to load the autosave at that point lol

pale root Dec 19, 2021, 8:09 PM

#

autosave is the same as a Manuel one, is the issue not trusting the autosave?

crude talon Dec 19, 2021, 8:09 PM

#

pale root autosave is the same as a Manuel one, is the issue not trusting the autosave?

well i do trust but making several saves as backup is always good practice

pale root Dec 19, 2021, 8:12 PM

#

crude talon well i do trust but making several saves as backup is always good practice

oh definitely, have you watched the console when you do a save and see if it gives a message there? I get this message after it finshed

I would watch that next time you do a manual update and see what it writes. Unless anyone else jumps in only next step I would say is the rebooting and trying. But I would look at that log first.

crude talon i can't look at the log i said i closed the server already

maybe this will help you see it (for my setup) I use

@echo off

to launch the server to see activity live

#

just need to make a .bat and place it in your servers folder

pine dock Dec 19, 2021, 8:48 PM

#

Ok, so smth. goes wrong with the new Disgner. It can't be, that when I am editing the color plates under Regulare section, that buildings instantly chaging there color when not builded by me as player. Isn't there any part in the source which adds the UUID from the player which builded the building? This should be a high priority thing so that every player can have it's own color settings

quick mist Dec 19, 2021, 8:50 PM

#

The first color swatch is the "default building" color definition. If you change it, any buildings built with that color will instantly change to match it. This is not a Dedicated Server thing; this is just a colors thing.

pine dock Dec 19, 2021, 8:51 PM

#

Well, after all it is a wrong thing

#

Every player must be saved when bulding a machinery, wall, ... and then every player must have his own color plate

You can send Questions, Feedback, Suggestions, and Bug Reports at https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ - <3 @orchid vault

pine dock Dec 19, 2021, 8:52 PM

#

so that every player can color there buildings on there own to not mess up with other ones building

orchid vault Dec 19, 2021, 8:52 PM

#

should go post it for the devs to add to the game its not a dedi t hing

pine dock Dec 19, 2021, 8:53 PM

#

I can't login there because Username and password are not eccepted becuase I no longer use mail login and never accepted the switch to be forced to use hackable email login

#

email login only applies for the mail itself but not as userlogin, it should be a security concern to think about and switch back to username usage

orchid vault Dec 19, 2021, 8:55 PM

#

that would be all about you then

supple summit Dec 19, 2021, 10:17 PM

does anyone know how to set a docker to use teh system's localtime rather than universal time?

#

orchid vault Dec 19, 2021, 10:19 PM

#

i would check docker documentation/forums

keen vortex Dec 19, 2021, 10:23 PM

#

supple summit does anyone know how to set a docker to use teh system's localtime rather than u...

depends on what OS the docker image is running

supple summit Dec 19, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

Debian or Ubuntu from memory

keen vortex Dec 19, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

set the TZ variable

supple summit Dec 19, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

#

is that this?

keen vortex Dec 19, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

is this your own container or are you using someone else's?

#

yes, that's the basic idea

#

by that i mean did you develop the docker image yourself, or are you using (or adapting) someone else's image

supple summit Dec 19, 2021, 10:26 PM

#

oh, its the container from ermmm...; ironwolf or something

keen vortex Dec 19, 2021, 10:26 PM

#

i just checked and mine is using UTC

#

root@satisfactory-server:/config# date
Sun Dec 19 22:25:23 UTC 2021
root@satisfactory-server:/config# date -u
Sun Dec 19 22:25:25 UTC 2021

#

you can probably just add TZ=whatever to the docker compose file

#

since docker-compose just passes everything in the environment specification to the container,

#

but i'd have to test that to be sure and since people are using my container right now....

#

i'd have to make a second temporary container, ugh, lots of resources

supple summit Dec 19, 2021, 10:31 PM

#

cheers ill try it now.

@keen vortex do you know:
it is enough add that line to docker-compose and then docker restart satisfactory-server or do I need to "recompose" the image or something afterwards?

Thanks in advance

keen vortex Dec 19, 2021, 10:31 PM

#

if you put TZ by itself in the docker-compose.yml, it'll grab TZ from the environment used to run docker-compose

#

changes made to docker-compose.yml are not reflected by a docker-compose restart

#

or by a container restart, you will have to docker-compose down and then docker-compose up (with or without -d, as you prefer)

supple summit Dec 19, 2021, 10:33 PM

#

thanks! my server is empty so ill give it a try now

supple summit Dec 19, 2021, 11:56 PM

#

okay I took it one step further and actually shared the hosts' time to the docker:

#

#

then:

docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d```
happy days

#

thanks again @keen vortex for all the help

#

now my xmas advents calendar is correct to our timezone

I've noticed a "bug" in the dedicated servers where a power slug will appear at a distance only to disappear when you get close because it has already been collected.... step back and it re-appears... anyone else see this?

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 1:02 AM

#

thats a known bug with the game rendering

does anybody here know where save files are located in dedicated servers?

supple summit Dec 20, 2021, 2:38 AM

depends on the specific server type

#

is it Windows+Steam?

glad plume Dec 20, 2021, 2:39 AM

thank you though

I sent a trouble ticket to Steam about the Dedicated Server not showing up in my tools. this was their replay. Support on Dec 19 @ 8:44pm | 2 hours ago
Hello,
Thanks for writing in.
Satisfactory Dedicated Sever will only be available for download once you purchase the base game on your account.
It looks like you haven't purchased the game yet on the account you're writing to us from, so that explains why you're currently unable to access its dedicated server tool.
If you have any further questions, please let us know - we will be happy to assist you.
Best Regards,

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 3:58 AM

#

yeah CSS is still working with them to make it show up in the tools within the GUI

#

for now you have to use steam CMD

I think the EA version is available on epic as well

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 4:17 AM

in the server manager?

weary shuttle Dec 20, 2021, 4:17 AM

#

yes

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 4:18 AM

#

there is a bug where if you sit in that screen for too long it will time out and go away

#

I ended up adding a fake second server to switch to and back to refresh the list

weary shuttle Dec 20, 2021, 4:19 AM

#

no if i reload satisfactory it connects fine. but if I restart my PC I have to readd server to connect

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

hmm, havent seen that issue...is the server running on the same PC you are playing on?

weary shuttle Dec 20, 2021, 4:21 AM

#

yes for now. working on my home server

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 4:21 AM

#

hmm yeah I run it on my fileserver

#

working on building a real server for it

#

but yeah never really messed with running the server locally for more than 5 min to test something

weary shuttle Dec 20, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

was using Nitrado

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

hear they are garbage

weary shuttle Dec 20, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

it was fine for me, just wanted my own so I can do my own mods later

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 4:24 AM

#

oh yeah dunno when they will be supported

#

anyway just spent like $800 on components for a game server

#

lol

weary shuttle Dec 20, 2021, 4:27 AM

#

so just restarted the server, still had to remove server and add server to connect

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 4:29 AM

#

super weird, have you tried reverifying the client files?

weary shuttle Dec 20, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

this with Steam CMD

#

gonna try EA next

#

or epic

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

I mean you can do that but I think the issue is with your client not the server

wintry plover Dec 20, 2021, 5:23 AM

#

I have a problem, every time I try to join a server It just stops responding

#

I get this

#

But It always says that I am connected before

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 5:29 AM

when you click connect what does it do

wintry plover Dec 20, 2021, 5:55 AM

wintry plover I get this

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 6:06 AM

im hosting the server on my computer

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 8:19 AM

so locally?

fossil slate Dec 20, 2021, 8:19 AM

the same computer im attempting to play on

#

yes

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 8:20 AM

fossil slate Dec 20, 2021, 8:20 AM

correct

#

and on router

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 8:21 AM

fossil slate Dec 20, 2021, 8:24 AM

no

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 8:24 AM

it should say 0.0.0.0:7777

and so on

fossil slate Dec 20, 2021, 8:25 AM

you know how to fix

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 8:25 AM

you know how to fix

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 8:31 AM

well I guess it wouldnt matter much if that is your lan IP

#

what IP are you using in the server manager?

#

10.5.0.2?

fossil slate Dec 20, 2021, 8:33 AM

the wrong one. thanks greg you rock

#

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 8:36 AM

all working now?

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 8:37 AM

fossil slate the wrong one. thanks greg you rock

make sure you update your port forwarding in your router

if thats wrong as well

frosty gale Dec 20, 2021, 12:02 PM

Update

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:03 PM

#

Already done that

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:07 PM

#

you didnt update the right folder

#

what are the version numbers its spitting out

#

its possible you are trying to play with EA on an EXP server or vise versa

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:10 PM

#

What you mean by EA?

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:10 PM

#

early access

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:10 PM

#

ahhhhhhhhh Gotcha...

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:10 PM

#

you cant mix and match client and server

#

you have to play with the same

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:11 PM

#

Literally just installed the dedi from steamcmd... and tried to join

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:11 PM

#

so if you have an EA server you have to use the EA client

#

if you have an EXP server you have to have EXP client

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:11 PM

#

what version does SteamCMD download?

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

what command did you use?

#

show me the command line you used to download

whole marsh Dec 20, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

+app_update 1690800 is the one we used

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

That one

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:12 PM

#

its EA then

#

-beta experimental is required if you want that

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

Cheers bud, we'll try that

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

check the wiki in the pinned messages

#

it talks about all of this

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:14 PM

I'll check it out bud

thank you

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:36 PM

@alpine dawn Still got server version mismatch

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:36 PM

yeah man

#

176027 game
174799 server

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:38 PM

#

well...you would not want to update the server to experimental

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:38 PM

#

So how would I get the server to work?

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:38 PM

#

your client is running early access

#

your server is running an older version of early access

#

is the steamcmd erroring out?

#

whats it saying?

#

just screenshot it

#

use the snippingtool

whole marsh Dec 20, 2021, 12:39 PM

#

its not erroring it updates it fine

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:40 PM

#

are you starting the server in the same directory you are telling it to update?

whole marsh Dec 20, 2021, 12:40 PM

going with the EA am running epic EA and kov is using steam (which is also EA)

its acting like you have it installed in multiple places and you are running a different instance than you are updating

whole marsh Dec 20, 2021, 12:40 PM

#

nope

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:41 PM

#

yeah so your clients are both EA

whole marsh Dec 20, 2021, 12:41 PM

#

yup

#

everyone is on EA

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:42 PM

#

so you are shutting down the server running the steamcmd update and then starting it back up and its not updated

#

I must be missing something

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:43 PM

#

steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer" +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental validate +quit

Is what we been using, and running from the Same folder

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:44 PM

#

change it to -beta public

#

you dont want experimental

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:44 PM

#

You said to put it to EXP, we'll try that

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:44 PM

#

yeah I didnt realize you had early access clients

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:44 PM

#

gotcha man

#

we'll try that 🙂

#

But everyones Early access arent they? Unless on EXP

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:45 PM

#

it depends but yes EA is the default

elder crow Dec 20, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

i mean steam or epic dedis are nice and all, but why dont you rent a server if you have so many issues?

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

You gonna pay for it?

elder crow Dec 20, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

they are not so expensive

whole marsh Dec 20, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

also we own a phisical server

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:48 PM

#

physical is better, rented servers are shared

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:48 PM

#

True story lol

elder crow Dec 20, 2021, 12:48 PM

#

@raven brook I pay together with 2 other friends for a server

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:48 PM

#

No point in paying, if we have a physical one

elder crow Dec 20, 2021, 12:49 PM

#

so far everything runs sweet and the server is running for 535hrs already now

#

day and night, if the hardware needs more power, a simple message to the support and there is more ram or whatever is needed

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:49 PM

#

Yeah we dont need that though, we have one lol

whole marsh Dec 20, 2021, 12:50 PM

#

thats cool but what happens if you or you friends stop paying , then you have a problem with money , while with this one we control everything

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:50 PM

#

from what I have heard most of those hosting sites suck for customer service

elder crow Dec 20, 2021, 12:50 PM

#

yes, if you have a physical one, then it makes sense to try to bring it to work

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:50 PM

#

Ohh well, we'll see if that works @alpine dawn

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:51 PM

#

hope it works @raven brook

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:51 PM

#

Me too haha!

elder crow Dec 20, 2021, 12:51 PM

#

whole marsh thats cool but what happens if you or you friends stop paying , then you have a ...

we are 3 adults and rl friends, if we dont want it anymore, we just copy all the savegames and run it solo ^^

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:52 PM

#

elder crow nice, what cpu do you have/plan?

Ryzen 5600G

#

6 core 12 threads

should be good enough

elder crow Dec 20, 2021, 12:54 PM

#

isnt the g 7 cores already?

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 12:54 PM

#

g just means onboard graphics

#

I dont want to run a video card

elder crow Dec 20, 2021, 12:55 PM

videocards are so expensive these days

raven brook Dec 20, 2021, 12:55 PM

That is an innocuous warning and can be ignored

foggy sky Dec 20, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

cant use the cmd to do anything else

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

that's because the server terminal window is not interactive

#

have you tried connecting to your server from the game client (i .e. the Server Manager)?

foggy sky Dec 20, 2021, 2:43 PM

#

not yet

#

about to

#

what would the default address be

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 2:45 PM

#

the address of localhost or 127.0.0.1 will work in most cases where the server and client are running on the same host if you are using a default configuration

foggy sky Dec 20, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

cheers

#

are you able to walk me through port forwarding to host

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 2:51 PM

#

to a limited extent (I am also working), but in short:

Your internet provider gives you a public IP address. you can see this by going to a site such as ipchicken dot com where it is shown to you.

Your router has an internal address where computers "behind" it can talk to it. Most commonly this will be 192.168.1.1 but it can be innumerable other addresses.

Your computer has another internal address.

you can find your computer's and your router's addresses with the ipconfig command. Your computer's address is listed as an IPv4 Address; your router is most likely the Default Gateway.

Go to the router's address, and in there you will find Port Forwarding settings

#

in those settings you will need to add three rules (one for each UDP port) forwarding incoming connections from the Internet to your computer's internal address.

#

for more details on this, consult your router's documentation

foggy sky Dec 20, 2021, 2:52 PM

#

cheers @quick mist.

#

i just got a game crash

#

trying to connect to the server

#

sorted

plucky drum Dec 20, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

use no ip with noip DUC software

#

note the port not work so ignore it

wintry plover Dec 20, 2021, 4:12 PM

#

alpine dawn are other people able to connect to the server?

none

burnt coyote Dec 20, 2021, 4:27 PM

#

Ports are opened, firewall is forwarded for those ports too, I am able to connect to my dedicated server via RDP just fine and can connect to the satisfactory server. However, me and my friend will randomly get kicked sometimes and we cannot connect back. The server is online however in RDP, I go to reboot it and the server comes online fine but we cannot connect. If we wait until the next day however we can connect but then after about 15 minutes of play we both get kicked and cannot connect anymore.

#

I have attempted to see if a firewall is filtering us out, that what it seemed like, however after starting the dedicated satisfactory server on new IP and Port we still cannot connect to it. I did a hotspot on my phone and grabbed my laptop to check if something was filtering us locally and negative, hotspot has the same issue.

#

I am running the dedicated server software on Windows Server 2019. I have decent hardware sitting in a datacenter, this isn't my first rodeo on setting up a game server but this one has me stumped.

#

In addition, I have removed the saves, reinstall the server through steamcmd and same result. Unless the datacenter is filtering out traffic which I don't believe is happening because I can communicate on 15000, 15777 and 7777 just fine

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 4:42 PM

#

lol blame windows

long pollen Dec 20, 2021, 4:43 PM

#

it's possible that your host has another customer using those ports. Have you tried using different ports? (I know it's possible to specify ports on startup. I just don't know how to do it on windows.)

burnt coyote Dec 20, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

I should also say, before the last two recent patches, me and my friend have been playing flawlessly for days in a row, this has started recently

It would be nice if the application could utilize multiple CPU cores rather than focusing on a single CPU or core.

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 5:10 PM

#

the game/server do that

somber topaz Dec 20, 2021, 5:11 PM

#

Good day. Im having some difficulties of having version mismatch on experimental with steamcmd.

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 5:11 PM

#

would be nice if people actually listened to the devs on stream explain how it works

keen vortex Dec 20, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

that's too much work

lilac juniper Dec 20, 2021, 5:15 PM

#

So apparently I have missed something. The Devs told us why the server uses a single core rather than multiple cores?

keen vortex Dec 20, 2021, 5:15 PM

#

in my experience the server uses about 2.5 cores

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 5:15 PM

#

its multicore already

#

but you cant just take a game of serial work and throw it all over cores

keen vortex Dec 20, 2021, 5:16 PM

#

how much will depend on how complicated your world is

#

there's a fixed number of pool threads (20? might be misremembering)

lilac juniper Dec 20, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

Yes, we are on Tier 6 and I am noticing a lot of shuddering and when I look 1 core is at 100% while the others are less than 25%

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

thats how it works lol

keen vortex Dec 20, 2021, 5:18 PM

#

the main simulation thread will occupy one core, and the pool threads will use others depending on how many are being used at any given moment

#

the main simulation is single-threaded, but there's subtasks that are distributed

#

i don't specifically remember if they've said what sorts of things get distributed to the pool

lilac juniper Dec 20, 2021, 5:24 PM

#

OK, I probably need a newer CPU but not in the budget at this point. Thanks for your input.

frosty gale Dec 20, 2021, 5:52 PM

#

so, question is there a memory leak or something in the dedicated server? 8GB of memory for a dedicated server is alot

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 5:52 PM

#

thats normal for large build

frosty gale Dec 20, 2021, 5:55 PM

#

i have a feeling there is a memory leak or some garbage collection needs to happen. I know dedicated server client is new, but to get good performance out of it you will need a beeefy server

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 5:55 PM

interestingly, i can see the "Server is preparing game" status after i reboot the server and i can see my IP (censored in red box) when trying to connect to it.
i've put some research into it and posted details here: #old-questions-and-help message
if anyone has some ideas, that would be appreciated ❤️

vocal stump Dec 20, 2021, 6:24 PM

@wet lantern Open Port 15000. I’ve accidentally get me out of my server while closing 15000 ( or your desired port)

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:27 PM

#

open where?

#

its a dedicated root server with hetzner, the firewall is turned off. or do you mean on my local pc with portforwarding?

vocal stump Dec 20, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

Ok Firewall off is a bad thing in general.

#

Portforwarding you don’t need.

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:29 PM

#

what do you mean by "dedicated root server" exactly?

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:31 PM

#

a root server is a dedicated machine from a company that you can rent, it usually runs linux on it and does not have any monitors, instead you connect to it via a shell

#

these things have very extensive firewall options, which in my case is turned off completely so i can run stuff on it

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:32 PM

#

that's.. not a "root server"

#

that's a "server"

#

but anyway

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:32 PM

#

yes, sure

#

you get the idea

#

its not behind a firewall of anyones ISP

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

words have meanings.

But moving on: so it's not behind an external firewall or NAT / IP Masquerading

#

but have you checked the firewall settings of the host itself to ensure all three UDP ports the server is listening on are open?

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

other people can connect to the server flawlessly, its just me who cant, which leads me to believe the server is not the issue

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

I am inclined to agree

vocal stump Dec 20, 2021, 6:34 PM

#

Ok that is an important information

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:34 PM

#

btw i could too until yesterday, my home pc works too but here at my parents i have a different pc which has troubles

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:34 PM

#

interesting and also good information

vocal stump Dec 20, 2021, 6:34 PM

#

I see your ISP

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:34 PM

#

what sort of internet connection are you on right now, whereby you are having issues connecting?

vocal stump Dec 20, 2021, 6:34 PM

#

Maybe an issue with DSLite

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:35 PM

#

i think its a 5mbit(?) internet cable connection, not 100% sure and this pc is connected via wireless to the router

vocal stump Dec 20, 2021, 6:36 PM

#

Vodafone don’t provide dualstack with the cable connections

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:36 PM

#

wait, Vodafone? Is this cable or cellular?

vocal stump Dec 20, 2021, 6:36 PM

#

Cable

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:36 PM

#

Huh.

vocal stump Dec 20, 2021, 6:37 PM

#

He said :p

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 6:37 PM

#

he also did port forwarding for client so you might just want to start fresh

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:37 PM

#

its coaxial or something where they dont use your telephone lines, but these optic fiber connections

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:37 PM

#

clientside port forwarding is irrelevant and inconsqeuential as the connections are outbound.

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:37 PM

#

i tried port forwarding on my local pc but the webinterface is buggy, so no port forwarding on my home router atm

kind plinth Dec 20, 2021, 6:38 PM

#

does someone have to be online for the world to continue running?

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 6:38 PM

#

but you dont know what all else they have done if htey are doing server side fixes

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:38 PM

#

well if the server is hosted elsewhere, there is no point in port forwarding

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:38 PM

#

quick mist clientside port forwarding is irrelevant and inconsqeuential as the connections ...

that was my general understanding as well, unless there is a requirement for the server to connect to me for some reason

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:38 PM

#

there is not; it uses the channel initiated by the client.

#

In the interest of throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks:

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

listen servers for mp had to open ports before

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

can you try disabling IPv6 on your client computer as a test?

vocal stump Dec 20, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

He can’t

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

orchid vault listen servers for mp had to open ports before

that's because listen servers are run locally and not at a hosting service

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

clients dont need that .. you just have to tell defender av and firewalls to let the game exe use the net

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

i did in fact disable ipv6 on my windows network connection without successful results

vocal stump Dec 20, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

The ipv6 is ISP given

Have you try to ping your server with port ?

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

even if you can't do it permenantly it might be worth the A/B test.

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

vocal stump Have you try to ping your server with port ?

i can ping successfully, if i use netcat to reach ports 7777,15000,15777 i get connection refused, not sure if thats an indicator of a problem

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

I'm unaware of any specific ISP issues that would block perfectly normal outbound UDP connections, but if others can connect and you cannot, that is pointing the finger pretty firmly at wither your local equipment or the internet connection it's behind

#

netcat uses TCP generally and not UDP

#

you need to ping the UDP port specifically; I have a tool that can do this if you can use Python at all

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

if its call thing with parameters sure

#

Telnet is strictly TCP

#

that tool I just linked will not only test the UDP connection, it will verify server version and state using the same protocol the game client uses

#

excellent, so at the very basic network level then you are at least able to talk to your server

#

that's progress

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:46 PM

#

it only checks 15777? in the error box it says that it timed out to port 15000

#

is that something worth testing too?

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:46 PM

#

15777 is the only port we can talk to directly without authenticating and that part of the protocol has not yet been documented.

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:46 PM

#

gotcha

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

do you time out when connecting via the Server Manager or only when trying to actually get into the game? Can you edit any settings in the Server Manager successfully, or issue Console commands?

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

i might be dense, but over the server manager is my only known way to get into the game :worry:

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

that is the only way to connect to a dedicated server- both for managing the server and for connecting to the game proper to play.

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

the servername is pending and the server manager content part shows only the "retry" button

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

I see

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

reconnecting does the spinner and then the timed out message

#

and as the screenshot shows, i can see myself connecting. that ip behind the red box is me

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

That sounds like (as you suspected) the second-tier conversation at port 15000 is not getting through. I would suggest maybe watching the server logs or iftop to see if you can see the inbound connections from your local WAN IP address

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:50 PM

#

if i presume this would work, it works with my friends too, what part of that issue could i look for on my client side?

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 6:50 PM

yeah that server log is not happy with your connection at all

honestly rdn that's looking more and more like a network issue. I might see if you can dig into the firewall settings on the host to make sure you your IP didn't somehow get blacklisted on 15000/udp

or wait, i could try that by using a vpn

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 6:52 PM

#

its that comp or network on that end most likely

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:53 PM

#

it has to be 😦

#

if its network, i'm screwed because thats the only thing i cant control if its outside of the pc

wintry plover Dec 20, 2021, 6:54 PM

#

I have a problem, every time I try to join a server It just stops responding
It always says that I am connected before

#

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

anyways, appreciate the help, if anyone remembers more things i could try, ping me. will try some of the suggested memes now

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

i would start by undoing all the stuff u did

#

port forwarding and all that other stuff so its a normal internet connection again

#

then i would fix defender and antivirus shit that can block the game exe from the net

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 7:06 PM

#

👀

#

it works with network cable

#

wifi bad, ethernet good

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 7:06 PM

#

thats a good thing lol

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 7:06 PM

#

fascinating

#

so it's your router or your wifi adapter

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 7:07 PM

#

it must be the network interface in windows then

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 7:07 PM

#

worth a try to reboot the router 'cause hey why not.

check for Windows Updates or new drivers I suppose.

wet lantern Dec 20, 2021, 7:07 PM

#

i ran all current windows updates this morning, thats fresh

#

well, i'll leave it as is now. at least i can satisfy my addiction again 🎉

sour yoke Dec 20, 2021, 7:29 PM

#

I agree with wifi bad.

#

There is a reason I ran a few hundred feet of Cat6 where I live so I don't have to deal with it.

thats the nord VPN local adress

fossil slate Dec 20, 2021, 7:37 PM

#

tiny idol thats the nord VPN local adress

I had a feeling vpn could be causing problems I did turn it of during part of testing.

tiny idol Dec 20, 2021, 7:39 PM

#

use the "-multihome=[your actual IP]" command line argument

#

though i cant for the life of me manage to even find my server - even though it's listening to the correct ports, all ports open, and no router in the way ^^

sour yoke Dec 20, 2021, 7:50 PM

#

I ran into that problem but I had a bad forward rule and missed it for over an hour

crimson flicker Dec 20, 2021, 7:50 PM

#

Is it possible to run dedi without having to use steam at all?

sour yoke Dec 20, 2021, 7:50 PM

#

You would have to use EGS afaik

quick mist Dec 20, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

once you have downloaded the server, running it has no connection to its storefront

#

but the server is not available but for from Steam and EGS

sour yoke Dec 20, 2021, 7:53 PM

#

Correction above meant that is where you have to sorce them but the server itself doesn't use anything exclusive to EGS or Steam.

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 9:04 PM

#

Epic only has the windows ea server I think, so if you want it on Linux or using exp you have to use steamcmd

elder stream Dec 20, 2021, 11:04 PM

#

is it possible to copy & load a regular save on the server?

#

I have copied one, but can't seem to be able to load it

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 11:11 PM

#

check the pinned messages for the wiki link

#

it talks about doing that on the wiki

burnt estuary Dec 20, 2021, 11:15 PM

#

how can i claim my server as my?

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 11:17 PM

#

connect to it

burnt estuary Dec 20, 2021, 11:17 PM

#

The German translation are bad.

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 11:17 PM

#

i dont know it asks you for name and password and such

burnt estuary Dec 20, 2021, 11:20 PM

#

Sorry, on English are the same, but on German is the Box very small

lilac juniper Dec 20, 2021, 11:33 PM

#

OK, so I know this is an elementary question. I am running on Linux and the Game.ini file gets overwritten during every reboot or I assume the Satisfactory service is restarted.

#

How do I fix this?

orchid vault Dec 20, 2021, 11:36 PM

#

use console to send exit to server

#

it writes out the ini files for u then u can edit those ones

#

or make them and just make sure they are in the right place when u load the server

vocal hinge Dec 20, 2021, 11:39 PM

#

so it would seem i am not the only one who keeps getting kicked out of the personal server :/

#

it can take anywhere from 30 seconds or 30 min that i get kicked out, usually i am crafting or just walking arround my still very tiny factory (just started)

#

the server itself shows no problems

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 11:43 PM

#

vocal hinge so it would seem i am not the only one who keeps getting kicked out of the perso...

are you on experimental?

#

I had that issue when they first tested the single port implementation on experimental

#

ended up switching to EA

vocal hinge Dec 20, 2021, 11:44 PM

#

euh how do i see that again?

#

it just said early access CL#176027 when i am in the game :p

#

i am despretly trying to get that space elevator going up

#

but every time i start to craft the darn game kicks me out

burnt estuary Dec 20, 2021, 11:47 PM

#

When i "Join Game" i disconnect to the Server and get a Network Error.

vocal hinge Dec 20, 2021, 11:48 PM

#

i just get kicked out and get the normal trobleshooting window

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 11:51 PM

#

so your client is crashing?

vocal hinge Dec 20, 2021, 11:51 PM

#

unsure, i do not have it in the regular solo game

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 11:51 PM

#

you say it pops up a troubleshooting window

#

can you take a screen shot

vocal hinge Dec 20, 2021, 11:51 PM

#

when it kicks me out again i will 😄

alpine dawn Dec 20, 2021, 11:52 PM

#

not sure what you mean by troubleshooting window

#

sounds like a client crash

#

in that case I would reverify your client files via epic or steam

#

wherever you bought the game from obviously

vocal hinge Dec 20, 2021, 11:53 PM

#

steam 🙂

over a year ago as this is my second fixmass 😄

lilac juniper Dec 21, 2021, 12:00 AM

orchid vault or make them and just make sure they are in the right place when u load the serv...

Hmm. I don't think I understand. I login to the servers with the user account where the server is installed I edit the "SatisfactoryServer/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini" file to include the correct syntax. I get out of the file saving it and logout of the console. At a later time the server reboots as the new user count still isn't valid because the service has to be restarted so I just reboot the server. I guess I could just restart the service but that too wipes out the Game.ini file. What am I doing wrong?

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 12:00 AM

#

stop the server to edit the file .. use exit cmd like i said to shut it down

lilac juniper Dec 21, 2021, 12:01 AM

#

Ah, OK

night stirrup Dec 21, 2021, 3:40 AM

#

ok,... im lost

#

i added this to me update.bat file

#

+app_update 174824 -beta experimental validate

#

and it comes up in the command line as ERROR! Failed to install app '174824' (No subscription)

#

what am I doing wrong? I have tried different versions and also +login

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 3:42 AM

dont put 174824 for app id

do mods need to be added to server side?

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 4:20 AM

mods dont work

hushed gateBOT Dec 21, 2021, 4:20 AM

#

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

night stirrup Dec 21, 2021, 4:21 AM

#

oh ok

#

so no mods..

#

dedicated servers are only vanilla

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 4:24 AM

#

correct

night stirrup Dec 21, 2021, 4:33 AM

#

well crap.. all that for nothing, 😦

#

back to the game.. lol

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 4:33 AM

#

haha

#

yeah, I suspect mod devs are working on it

#

but I dont know

night stirrup Dec 21, 2021, 4:36 AM

#

No big deal. at least I know how to start the server up now

#

it just kept saying that it could not join

storm mulch Dec 21, 2021, 8:07 AM

#

is it a known issue that when you join the server, you need to wait about 40-50 seconds before you can interact with things?

#

like checking a container or building something

supple summit Dec 21, 2021, 9:01 AM

#

not always.. but it does sound about right if the server is busy

#

if you have access to the server - watch it's console and you will probably notice its waking up the area around that player

wild dew Dec 21, 2021, 9:18 AM

#

Hey folks,
My server (now rrunning for over 1000h) is taking way longer and longer to create an autosave. Today its taking about 21second regarding to the log file. Are there any tricks to improve this?

#

Autosave intervall is set to 15minutes

supple summit Dec 21, 2021, 9:54 AM

#

not yet

wild dew Dec 21, 2021, 10:20 AM

#

you think using an SSD would improve it?

#

this doesnt look good...

shy lily Dec 21, 2021, 1:19 PM

#

do mods work on dedicated servers?

keen vortex Dec 21, 2021, 1:19 PM

#

wild dew you think using an SSD would improve it?

no, long saves are usually due to the game taking a long time to serialize the game image, not due to the time required to save the image to disk.

#

the logfile has data on how long it spent in each phase of the saving operation

#

[2021.12.21-13.12.05:078][676]LogGame: Compression: 0.539 seconds
[2021.12.21-13.12.05:078][676]LogGame: Write To Disk: 0.016 seconds
[2021.12.21-13.12.05:078][676]LogGame: Write Backup to Disk and Cleanup time: 0.016 seconds

#

only the last two involve storage, the first one is the game engine and the second one is the compressor and are impacted mainly by CPU and memory.

keen vortex Dec 21, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

shy lily do mods work on dedicated servers?

at this time there is no way to inject mods into a dedicated server

shy lily Dec 21, 2021, 1:24 PM

keen vortex Dec 21, 2021, 3:30 PM

#

it's that "16.549 seconds" of serialization time that is your problem

#

which is probably because you have a fuckton of foundations

#

faster CPU might help, but more likely what you need is more L2 and L3 cache, and faster main memory

How do I join my friend's server through Hamachi

#

?

quick mist Dec 21, 2021, 5:05 PM

#

By first having yourself and your friend uninstall Hamachi and yeet it into the nearest sun

#

then have your friend set up port forwarding on eir router, and give you eir IP address. you then use that address in the Server Manager in your game client

steady flume Dec 21, 2021, 5:07 PM

steady flume Dec 21, 2021, 5:10 PM

#

dont really know where to start

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 5:11 PM

#

I would start by looking in the log

abstract garnet Dec 21, 2021, 5:13 PM

#

@steady flume i answer since no one else is answering. 1) there are games hosting services. I can't recommend any, since i host on a vps. 2) Rent a virtual private server with enough memory, and run it there. This second option is a bit more technical, and probably needs you to know/learn basic usage of linux command line.

steady flume Dec 21, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

what is a vps, never heard of it

abstract garnet Dec 21, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

it's a virtual private server. Server hosting companies have chunky machines they virtualize linux on, and sell those

steady flume Dec 21, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

There are many cheap hositn the only porblem there are barely any that host South African servers

I found one call evolved gaming going to take a look at that

whole marsh Dec 21, 2021, 5:43 PM

#

when trying to connect and play my own server it is coming up "invalid authentication token" (playing on Epic EA) how do i fix this

covert void Dec 21, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

"When you log on to steam, you get a session token. When you connect to a server, it checks if the session token you send matches your account and if the account owns Squad. Restarting Steam should fix it, otherwise log out and back in." from google

whole marsh Dec 21, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

yeah checked that before coming here ... no help since i am Epic games

covert void Dec 21, 2021, 5:53 PM

#

it seems to be an issue with Epic, and dedicated servers not being able to find the token of a player. so it deems the player non legit

#

is the server local or remote?

whole marsh Dec 21, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

local and before you say do local host , that dosnt work

covert void Dec 21, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

no wasnt going that

#

I mean, is it attached to your local network

whole marsh Dec 21, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

yes

covert void Dec 21, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

ok, do you connect to it with local IP or your Wan ip?

whole marsh Dec 21, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

public ip

covert void Dec 21, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

do you have port forward set up?

whole marsh Dec 21, 2021, 6:02 PM

#

before we go over all of this i have 2 people currently playing on the server

covert void Dec 21, 2021, 6:02 PM

#

I understand

whole marsh Dec 21, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

connected ... works with local ip

covert void Dec 21, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

if the server is running on its on machine and you are trying to play with another some times the Query port that is assigned to the server is what the game is using to find authentication, most times the router will not allow 2 machines to use the same port

#

that is what I was trying to figure out

#

with the satisfactory config file for the dedicated server you can try a diffrent query port and see if that helps

#

also too the windows firewall could have blocked that port on the pc you are trying to play on

#

the basics is you have 2 friends playing on the server you are hosting and you cannot, usually points to firewall issue

#

as I just read that you are able to connect with local IP, bypasses the Query junction

lilac juniper Dec 21, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

It would be nice if there was a way to track the players that have been on the server.

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

I dont understand why people insist on trying to use their wan IP to connect to a server on their lan

#

makes no sense

#

even if you do have your router setup correctly for that to work its just going to introduce more latency

lilac juniper Dec 21, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

@alpine dawn While I don't disagree with your statement, it is a way to test your WAN connectivity before introducing it to others that are not on your LAN.

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 6:31 PM

#

not really considering it fails to work more often than not

#

best way to test if your firewall rules work is to have someone test from external

lilac juniper Dec 21, 2021, 6:32 PM

#

Agreed

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

is there a reason why my player on my dedicated server keeps getting reset when the client crashes? this is literally game breaking

#

I keep losing a shitton of resources because the game client crashes for xyz reason and when I log back into the server my player just respawns with 0.5 hp and no items, reset hotbar etc. in the hub and no loot chest is dropped where my old player was

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 6:56 PM

#

I think the bigger question is why is your game crashing

#

thats not normal

#

mine never crashes

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:00 PM

#

I think it's related to the Vulkan renderer

#

I switched back to DX12 for the moment

#

But the client crashing should not in any way shape or form result in all of my character being lost on the server...

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:01 PM

#

yeah the vulkan renderer is a bit bugged for me

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:01 PM

#

This has been happening for over a month

#

Sometimes I'm lucky and a chest drops at least so I can go back and get my shit

#

But most of the time I'm just SOL and have to gear up again. Super frustrating

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

neon coyote This has been happening for over a month

so...this has gone through multiple version updates then

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

Yes

#

At some point it was creating duplicate characters so I could just kill the old one to get my stuff back

#

But after a few updates now there's no duplicate character or loot drop, just nthing

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 7:03 PM

#

hahahahah

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:04 PM

#

see if dx12 fixes your crashing

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:04 PM

#

That's super unhelpful

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:04 PM

#

well not really

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:04 PM

#

There's clearly a problem with the dedicated server

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:04 PM

#

if its not crashing you wont lose things

#

I have never lost anything on a dedicated server

#

but then again my client is stable

#

so...

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 7:06 PM

#

start with loggin out launcher and loggin it in before starting the game

#

fix your defender, firewalls and av crap

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:07 PM

#

:really:

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 7:09 PM

#

well if u like to have working loading game

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:11 PM

#

neon coyote :really:

so...at no point have you mentioned version numbers or troubleshooting steps that you have done other than switching the renderer

#

we have to assume you have tried nothing and gave up

#

its a dedicated server so I assume there are other people playing on it...are they also crashing and losing their stuff?

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 7:12 PM

#

he has to find his body it wont be at spot when crashed it will be at the last save

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:13 PM

#

we may never know, pretty sure they peaced out

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

I can certainly provide such information. Is there a console command to get the server version?

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

its the same as your client

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

There are multiple people and this happens to multiple people.

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

so the server is crashing

#

not your client

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

No, the server isn't crashing.

#

I mean multiple people have lost their stuff to client crashes.

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

u know what version by the client u play with

#

ea only works on ea

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

My client says Early Access CL#176027, is that the version?

#

I'm playing on steam and I'm using the latest non experimental build.

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:16 PM

#

ok so its on the latest early access build

#

was this a new save or did you upload the save from an existing build?

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:18 PM

#

The save is about a month old. I created it with whatever client was most recent back then and uploaded it to the server.

#

Never used experimental builds

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:19 PM

#

that would be a point of difference from my server to what you are using

#

but I know plenty of people have done that and its working fine

#

are you the server admin?

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:20 PM

#

Yes

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:20 PM

#

did the server get installed with steamcmd?

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:20 PM

#

Yeah

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:20 PM

#

can you post your install line?

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:21 PM

#

I'm guessing that would be this: https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server/blob/main/run.sh#L71

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 7:22 PM

#

hahaha

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:22 PM

#

oh wow

#

so...uhh

#

add validate before quit and rerun that

neon coyote I think it's related to the Vulkan renderer

BTW what video card are you running that the vulcan drivers actually look good enough to play?

#

when I tried them anything glass did not render properly

neon coyote Dec 21, 2021, 7:35 PM

#

Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti

#

I don't notice any difference between the DX and vulkan renderers

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 7:35 PM

#

vulkan looked like hot garbage on my 2060 super

#

tried it for like 5 min and exited out changed back to DX

#

havent tried it in several releases though so maybe they fixed it

#

might have to try when I get off work

Hey , quick question, how can i change the save frequency for a dedicated server ?

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 8:43 PM

#

yes

#

wiki page has the cmd to set the autosave

#

link is in topic

odd dragon Dec 21, 2021, 8:43 PM

#

hey guys, we have set up an dedicated server but the belts are beginning to struggle, we are currently 2 players, currently in midgame and took a server with 5GB RAM, whats reccommented ? because we are already hitting the 95% 😄

#

homepages doesnt have that good answers, some say its not hitting 8GB even in lategame but for now it feels really bad at performance

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 8:46 PM

#

6gb is recommended on the wiki page

odd dragon Dec 21, 2021, 8:46 PM

#

do you think that will fix the belt issues ? im a totally rookie

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 8:47 PM

#

but also depends on if cpu is good at single core or not

#

no i dont think it will

5GB of ram sounds very not optimized

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 8:47 PM

#

i think ur using a potato if u are limited to 5gb ram

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 8:48 PM

#

what kinda CPU and what is the ram speed?

odd dragon Dec 21, 2021, 8:48 PM

#

no, its a hosted server we pay for, we can always upgrade if needed

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 8:48 PM

#

oh

#

chances are good you are working with a server that is overloaded

#

shared hosting is never ideal

odd dragon Dec 21, 2021, 8:49 PM

#

yeah heard about that from people using this provider

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 8:50 PM

#

might be worth it to open a support ticket with your provider and ask them what they suggest

odd dragon Dec 21, 2021, 9:01 PM

#

yeah will do that. we just upgraded to 7GB and still the stuttering belts

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 9:02 PM

#

probably is the cpu

odd dragon Dec 21, 2021, 9:02 PM

#

but maybe thats just because experimental ? not all belts are that broken

#

cpu of that server is fine

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 9:02 PM

#

will probably have to double ur specs

#

im sure the cpu is fine thats why the server doesnt work right lol

odd dragon Dec 21, 2021, 9:03 PM

#

with new specs its 30% cpu and 68% ram

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 9:03 PM

#

good luck with your server hope u figure it out

odd dragon Dec 21, 2021, 9:04 PM

#

like i said im newbro in servers but when its pictured by the provider that cpu is fine i have to believe its right haha

orchid vault Dec 21, 2021, 9:04 PM

#

im not new to them but u decided u know cpu is fine so im not wasting my time explaining or whatever lol

odd dragon Dec 21, 2021, 9:05 PM

#

sir, the server is hosted by zap-hosting and thats the current load on our product

#

https://i.imgur.com/88f6oOL.png

#

our pc's at home are with 3070 and stuff

bright robin Dec 21, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

This load is a global number on across cores. Dedicated server, as much as any game simulation, is single threaded. You are probable single-thread hungry. One core can't cope with what the dedicated server ask while the others are doing nothing. Most (>99%) of hosting core are low frequency ones to allow many core, as frequency quickly overheat the chip otherwise. You need to do single-thread benchmark on you server and compare it against gaming PC chips to see if your hosting is up to the task.

odd dragon Dec 21, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

thanks, i think this is the answer i needed to know. because i wanted to find out whats the bottleneck here, the provider, the amount of ram i bought from his services or if its technical because its experimental. thanks bejarid, will do that.

From the wiki: "Recent x86/64 (AMD/Intel) processor. No 32 bit or ARM support. The server favours higher single-core performance over multiple cores."

anyone use NSSM on windows host to manage their server

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 9:47 PM

there were a few people in here using that

I prefer to use linux for anything that I can when it comes to servers

earnest willow Dec 21, 2021, 9:54 PM

which flavour, ubuntu/deb? or like centos/fedora

alpine dawn Dec 21, 2021, 10:21 PM

I like ubuntu personally

#

but I run one of each it seems

#

webserver runs ubuntu fileserver runs deb phone server runs centos

yup debian

so more deb based than anything

Hey o all. Anyone know why a linux dedicated server would get stuck at the pre start of the process?
Output of journalctl -xe is

#

And The Configuration for the process is as follows:

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 3:20 AM

what about server/crash log

thin cargo Dec 22, 2021, 3:21 AM

#

no server/crash log. It's like it gets stuck on the update phase of the process and never gets to the point where it begins the actual server part of the process

#

6GB of Ram Allocated if that helps at all.

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 3:22 AM

well i can see bad stuff

#

like root privileges stopping it from running

#

first picture near the top first 2 long lines after teh block of text

thin cargo Dec 22, 2021, 3:23 AM

I can switch it over to my default user, but at that point it tells me it doesn't have access to the files.

put server on a user it should work better

you will need to chown the files so the steam user has access to them

but yeah never run it as root

thats asking for problems

thin cargo Dec 22, 2021, 3:25 AM

I jsut gave it a go. It's how I had to run my ark server unfortunately because otherwise it would not let them write to the shared windows host for cluster overrides

#

changing it over to the default user now and gonna see what I need to chown

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 3:27 AM

likely need to chown the SatisfactoryDedicatedServer folder and everything below that

anyway do that and change your script to run as your normal user

make sure its not restarting the server while its updating

thin cargo Dec 22, 2021, 4:35 AM

Alright, so not sure what was going on actually, but I removed the old Dedi server install path and reinstalled and it's all started up now....

old marten It's done I can connect but I want to have ID to create a status in nodejs

join the server and go to your console via the server manager. use the command "session status"

If it's "~~this morning~~" "in the past couple hours", my assumption is that it's due to the epic games outage

so if you can browse to the users home dir that is running the game server thats where it is

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 5:31 PM

most of the time when people are getting version mismatch its because they are updating the wrong folder

either that or you are running the experimental client with an early access server

that wont work

i keep getting this error, ive never done this stuff before: "setenvironmentvar not implemented for this platform steamappid 526070"

#

what does that mean

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 9:03 PM

#

verify your files and dont run mods

steady dune Dec 22, 2021, 9:03 PM

#

i will delete my mod manager now

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 9:07 PM

#

turn off mods

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:09 PM

#

how did you install steam or epic?

steady dune Dec 22, 2021, 9:09 PM

#

epic

#

ive got it sorry

#

i verified my files and im still getting the same error message

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

where are you getting that error?

steady dune Dec 22, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

when i run the server

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

oh

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

lol

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

how are you trying to start it

#

screenshot the command you used to run it

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

make sure he turned off mods not just threw out manager

#

i didnt see if he said he turned them off since he was going to delete it

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

I have a feeling some commands are getting strung together that need spaces

steady dune Dec 22, 2021, 9:16 PM

#

.\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended using that one in a .bat? bro ive been trying this for the past 2 hours, countless youtube videos, im confused asf

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:17 PM

have you looked at the wiki?

steady dune Dec 22, 2021, 9:17 PM

im on it

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:18 PM

show me everything in the bat file

2 quick questions for anyone that has run into things.

Anyone log into the server and get physically stuck for like 15 seconds or so? Any fix?
Just swapped to an SSD, however save times are equally as long as they were on a rather slow HDD, anyone else experience decently long save times?

steady dune Dec 22, 2021, 9:21 PM

in that one its literally what i just sent you, thats it

thats a processing power thing not a disk write issue

steamcmd? i dunno, should i get rid of that and try again?

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:23 PM

what is the command you used to install the server?

the one on the wiki

alpine dawn thats a processing power thing not a disk write issue

which part, the save or moving?

Because moving, if I log off in a different location in my save, like the Hab vs our "house", I can move instantly.

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

the save, the moving thing other people have had the same issue and I am not sure what the fix is

you can go look at the log file and see where the save is stumbling

#

likely world serialization

#

basically your processor isnt fast enough to do it in a seamless manor

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:26 PM

steady dune the one on the wiki

ok so .\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit

thats what you used

got it

steady dune Dec 22, 2021, 9:27 PM

alpine dawn thats what you used

yes

median path Dec 22, 2021, 9:27 PM

#

yeah, serialization; yeah it's a decently old server now, only 2.67ghz, but dual cpu, 12/24 core/thread

well good to know.
Hopefully some benefits elsewhere will be made by going to SSD.

most do; this is just all I have access for; hopefully in the next year I can replace it.

the dual xeon has been useful at keeping things separated though, but no, certainly far from fast.

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:30 PM

works great for serving files

#

I was just dumb and installed game servers on it

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

steady dune yes

I would like to see screenshots because I suspect there is something we are not seeing

median path Dec 22, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

they've got their uses, aren't too expensive if you buy old enough on ebay; I've had this thing for probably 5 years now if not 6, used it prior for 3d rendering; was great back then with all the cores/threads, prior to [decent] GPU rendering

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:32 PM

#

mine was a lan party file server from its birth in 2008

#

my friend built it

#

out grew it and sold it to me

#

I have now shoved a 10gig card in it

#

lol

#

it will happily max out my 2.5gbit ethernet

steady dune Dec 22, 2021, 9:37 PM

#

would it be too much or a pain to add you and share my screen and go through the process?

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:37 PM

#

I cant do that right now, I am literally doing this while at work

steady dune Dec 22, 2021, 9:37 PM

oh damn aha

ok give me a minute

thank you

aww I wanted to click the link and get all the viri

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 9:40 PM

im sorry greg ... 😦 lol

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 9:41 PM

#

gimme that sweet sweet discord nitro virus link again

#

😄

opaque pine Dec 22, 2021, 10:59 PM

#

so everyone keeps crashing everytime we join, can anyone help?

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 11:03 PM

#

turn off mods?

opaque pine Dec 22, 2021, 11:03 PM

#

cant use mods on dedicated servers

#

we was all playing then we all crashed, now we crash everytim we join

quick mist Dec 22, 2021, 11:04 PM

#

What error message do you get upon the crash?

opaque pine Dec 22, 2021, 11:04 PM

#

lemme retry

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 11:05 PM

#

is everyone crashing at the same time?

#

might be something in the server logs

opaque pine Dec 22, 2021, 11:05 PM

#

ye

#

we all are

#

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 11:07 PM

#

opaque pine

might be worth it to reverify the server files

opaque pine Dec 22, 2021, 11:08 PM

#

not sure how i do that since im using g-portal to host the save.

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 11:09 PM

#

oh, I would start with their support

#

we cant really do much

iron bear Dec 22, 2021, 11:10 PM

#

alpine dawn please also verify any software firewall is also allowing access

Set up as both TCP and UDP. All ports are open on that machine. My hardware gateway is a Unifi UDM Pro.

opaque pine Dec 22, 2021, 11:11 PM

#

it was fine until now

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 11:11 PM

#

setup for UDP

#

u dont want anything taking the port for tcp

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 11:11 PM

#

iron bear Set up as both TCP and UDP. All ports are open on that machine. My hardware gate...

I see, what is the machine hosting the server? windows or linux?

iron bear Dec 22, 2021, 11:12 PM

#

Proxmox > Ubuntu 18.04 container. ufw is inactive.

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 11:14 PM

#

and you can get to the server with the internal ip?

#

its just external people that cant

iron bear Dec 22, 2021, 11:16 PM

#

I can get to it with the internal ip and using my external IP. People can add it, see the details and whatnot. But when they try to join they get this:

#

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 11:16 PM

#

hmm sounds like packet loss

#

which is weird

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 11:17 PM

#

how long before that happens

#

it could be beacon port not working

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 11:17 PM

#

are you doing any QoS or anything on the dream machine?

#

rate limiting

#

anything?

iron bear Dec 22, 2021, 11:18 PM

#

Nothing that isn't default on the device. Threat management is set to IDS which only detects intrusions and alerts, it doesn't try to mitigate them.

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 11:20 PM

#

the fact that it breaks at your firewall makes me suspicious of it

#

is it just a regular ethernet connection to a cable modem?

iron bear Dec 22, 2021, 11:22 PM

#

It goes ISP Modem > UDMP > HP Switch > Server

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 11:24 PM

#

I assume you have successfully port forwarded UDP ports in the UDM before

iron bear Dec 22, 2021, 11:24 PM

#

Yeah. That same machine hosts a number of Ubuntu containers that act as Minecraft servers.

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 11:25 PM

#

add ports to your 15777 and 15000 and/or set them for UDP only

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 11:26 PM

#

they have all 3 ports

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 11:27 PM

#

his pic way back had range for data but only 1 port for those 2 set

#

i think his ports being used for beacon

#

so its on incremented port that clients cant use

iron bear Dec 22, 2021, 11:28 PM

#

orchid vault Dec 22, 2021, 11:28 PM

#

logs would help

#

just my 2 cents lol

alpine dawn Dec 22, 2021, 11:30 PM

#

hmm yeah I would ditch the range on 7777

#

not needed if the server is setup right

#

but other than that if those are all udp thats correct
