[alpine dawn]

what version

windows or linux

[thick crane]

...\Satisfactory\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\

...\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\

both empty

Windows

[alpine dawn]

do a graceful shutdown of the server once it should generate the files

[thick crane]

I assume the command is stop?

[alpine dawn]

quit stop or exit

all 3 do the same

[thick crane]

Perfect, got the config now, whats the line I need to add?

[/Script/Engine.GameNetworkManager]
TotalNetBandwidth=500000
MaxDynamicBandwidth=120000
MinDynamicBandwidth=100000

[thick crane]

Absolute legend, thanks Greg! I should have tried the gracveful shutdown first haha

[idle flower]

alright, I've ruled everything out except for my workstation on connecting to my dedicated server. Does anyone have a dedi game that I can connect to to confirm that it's specific to my setup?

[grizzled sundial]

Hey all HNY! Quick Question. Are programmable splitters still bugged on experimental dedicated servers?

[orchid vault]

versions are the same for that

should work fine

[alpine dawn]

open your dms

lol

[idle flower]

nooo DM's

[alpine dawn]

hah

you can try to connect to my server

[idle flower]

ok

ping me the info if you dont want to share it publicly

[vocal jungle]

@alpine dawn sliding into dms again lol

[alpine dawn]

I am smooth like that

[orchid vault]

lol

[vocal jungle]

in Greg we trust he/them/whatever is the 2nd best trouble shooter here

[alpine dawn]

eh

[vocal jungle]

I am number one lol

😊

but not really lol

[hollow bane]

hello for this does it happen I pass in private? on a dedicated server is this normal?

[alpine dawn]

I dont understand the question

you use the server menu to connect to a dedicated server

use its IP address

@hollow bane

[round latch]

Don’t go getting Gregnant.

[still tiger]

Anyone else having issues with trains yoyoing???

[river sand]

If you are playing local you should not have this problem, its more of an issue for the multiplayer / server side. (Client and Server Syncing)

It is a known issue so it will be solved as the progress of the code for the servers develops

[still tiger]

yea its on the dedicated server cheers

[rancid basalt]

I think they are... they are for me at least... completely unusable... i upvoted a few of the threads on the feature/bug request site. hoping they will fix it soon!

[silk ember]

Hey friends, quick question. Does anyone know how to set the tier of a game save? Do i just edit it in a save editor

[terse acorn]

You could unlock stuff with the Satisfactory interactive map @silk ember

[versed merlin]

in Greg we trust

All others pay cash.

[warped sphinx]

Hey guys, Im looking into security measures for my Satisfactory server, one of the main things im looking into is how to make your server create a backup save file every single day. Does anyone know how to do that?

[wild notch]

I am trying to download the dedicated server on steam but I do not see it in the tools area. All i see are the games i own and their tools. not sure what i am missing. Also I dont own it on steam only on Epic.

[devout ferry]

i just made my own dedicated server but i'm unable to join. i can find it in the server manager but when i go to join it says "you are not connected to this server" then the game restarts shortly after.

my friends can connect fine but for some reason i can't.

[rustic lantern]

If your server is on the same network as you do, try connecting with it's LAN address. Unless you've already did that, some modems can't do proper internal forward with public/external address.

[devout ferry]

ok i will try that next time. thank you

[opaque moon]

Is there a way to make a dedicated server without steam or epic games?

[nova cliff]

No - but you don't need a steam account to get the dedicated server through steamcmd - you can log in as "Anonymous"

[rustic lantern]

Maybe a stupid question, can the dedicated server post REST API calls? HTTP POST, I'm completely OK with this option.

[nova cliff]

not that I've seen

[wild notch]

I tried getting it though steamcmd but it did not download. it created the folder but nothing inside it.

[wild notch]

I am THINK i got it downloaded correctly however i am getting these errers

[2022.01.02-19.14.38:203][  5]LogOnline: Warning: OSS: EOSSDK-LogEOSAnalytics: EOS SDK Analytics disabled for route [1].```

[earnest willow]

Those are okay to ignore

[wild notch]

Ok but i am not able to connect to the server. The server manager can not find it.

[solid spear]

wen arm support

[wild notch]

Does the Dedicated server work for both early access and experimental? or ?

[solid spear]

Any clue if ARM support for dedicated servers is coming some time this year? I read there was some difficulty with some library. Otherwise i'll have to look for a different vps

[alpine dawn]

dont count on it

[alpine dawn]

yes

[alpine dawn]

where is the server hosted?

[wild notch]

ZAP VPS hosting. I finally got it working. for some reason adding the program and the port to the firewall was not working. So I just added the ports with no program tied to it and it started working.

I think its because it does not use "FactoryServer.exe". It uses "UE4Server-Win64-Shipping.exe"

For the server.

[alpine dawn]

ah yeah that could do it

[alpine dawn]

there is no API yet

check the archived threads for this channel

that is somthing they are working on

[sudden creek]

this chainsaw can drop any tree!!

[prisma obsidian]

It can chop anything

[versed merlin]

Space Elevator better look out

[alpine dawn]

wish you could go full doom and use the chainsaw on the wildlife

[sudden creek]

so weird

[versed merlin]

someone died while holding it. known issue.

[sudden creek]

yea

[orchid vault]

not a dedicated server issue

[versed merlin]

Though, does look like it's about to slice the locomotive in half

[sudden creek]

ah I just assumed that

[versed merlin]

Not EVERYTHING is the dedicated server's fault. 😉

[fickle meteor]

Hey maybe this is a dumb question but i keep getting an error while connecting to my server. it isn't hosted locally. On the client it says "Connection to host has been lost" anyone know how i can move forward from this?

[orchid vault]

fix ports for it

restart verify install and clients

[alpine dawn]

where is it hosted?

[fickle meteor]

its hosted on Nitrado in germany

[alpine dawn]

is anyone else able to connect to it or are you the first?

[fickle meteor]

ive had people connect to it before but their was a server side update and i wasnt able to join for a while.

[alpine dawn]

you dont have any mods at all installed in your client do you?

[fickle meteor]

the server and client versions are the same but i still cant connect to the server

Oh i do have some mods

[alpine dawn]

cant have mods

uninstall them

[orchid vault]

turn off mods in the manager

[alpine dawn]

or that

[orchid vault]

so it unloads the mod loader

or it wont load

loader is a pak file and game loads it as a mod

[fickle meteor]

Wow thanks guys, its finally working

[orchid vault]

have fun

[timid olive]

Is there any way to fix the lag on the conveyors?

[oblique ice]

The MK5 bug or something else?

[orchid vault]

visual bug

its known for some

sometimes dedis its cause the server isnt restarted like once a day or 2

[elfin sparrow]

any one got a server i could join?

[alpine dawn]

#looking-for-group-old

[round latch]

What is best server hosting site?

[chrome torrent]

We made a new dedicated server-instance, but we have some issues with invisible rocks in the sea while building

They arent visible and you can "run into it" while being rubberbanded back from it

Not sure if there's a fix for it

[frosty gale]

when is the dedicated server client expected to get optimized ( i figured it wasnt a prio since its new, just curious)

[hybrid ibex]

🗃️ Save file question: Does anyone have a little backup script they would be willing to share, please? ❓(Linux)

[rancid basalt]

you using linux or windows zee?

i just use windows backup and it seems to work ok so far, i'm sure its not the best, but its working for me

[hybrid ibex]

Linux 🙂

[rancid basalt]

ahh, well then i am of no help, lol

[devout ferry]

is there anyone that uses nitrado for their dedicated server?

i'm having an issue where i'm unable to connect to my own dedicated server. my friends are able to but i'm not

i'll try to join the game, it'll just say "you are not connected to the server" and it will restart the main menu saying that my connection to the host is lost.

[radiant frigate]

either those are some small trees or thats an extremely big chainsaw

[alpine dawn]

Disable any mods or it won't work

[devout ferry]

that did it! thank you 😄

[outer helm]

anyone else randomly die and lose your whole inventory?

[tropic wraith]

all the time

your item box should be somewhere around where you died

or check using itneractive map where it was placed

[vocal stump]

I can give you a script when I’m back on the machine 🙂

[hybrid ibex]

That would be great, thanks.

[timid jacinth]

I thought advertising was not allowed 🤔

[alpine dawn]

necro post much

[simple compass]

Hey guys, I have an issue which seems to be related to dedicated server, does anyone experience this issue as well? I'm loosing my mind restarting the game because the HUD is not present when the game launches:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/rmonzv/entire_hud_and_menu_disappears_except_for_the/

[alpine dawn]

anyone else using the server have the same issue?

have you reverified the server files?

oh I see you even switched providers and its still happening

[wild notch]

What graphics card are you using?
Have you updated your graphic drivers?
If so did this happen before or after the update?

[round latch]

So I bought a dedicated server and it says server name pending. Not Authenticated. How do I do that?

It says the server appears to be offline in satisfactory but online from the website.

[frosty gale]

Wait how do you play on a dedicated server?

[round latch]

You buy one from a website.

[frosty gale]

wait really?

[simple compass]

GTX1080 I haven't updated the graphics drivers as I have never seen this on a private game, but I can certainly try 🙂

[wild notch]

Im running a 980Ti and have not had an issue yet... drivers are uptodate for me

[simple compass]

Yeah you can see a list here: geekflare.com/satisfactory-server-hosting/#anchor-indifferent-broccoli

[wild notch]

@round latch biggest thing is to make sure you have the firewall ports open. UDP 15777, 7777, 15000

[simple compass]

For the ones that we have gotten we get a "Client password" so that you can authenticate with the server in the game, once that has been put in, it's up and running. But dunno where you have bought yours

[wild notch]

If you server is ran by a company and you only have web console then you will need to contact them.

[round latch]

Gportal

How the heck do you open firewalls? Lol

[vestal garnet]

The first time I added and logged on to my server, I should claim it. It was in this proces I set the server admin and user passwords...

[wild notch]

@round latch You will have to ask GPortal to check the firewall ports that i posted. I am assuming you do not have access to the server computer only a web interface on their website.

[round latch]

Correct

[wild notch]

My issue when I was setting up the dedicated server on my server computer is that I did not have the Firewall ports open correctly. I had the same "offline" message. As soon as I did it all stated working. Since you do not have access to your servers computer to open the firewall ports then you will need to contact GPortal for support.

[alpine dawn]

check the pinned messages if you would like to setup a server there is a wiki topic on it

and yes you will need to contact your hosting provider for support

we dont have any way to debug or troubleshoot their services

[alpine dawn]

and no that is not true, you can setup your own server

[lost dawn]

GPortal worked fine for me out of the box.

Might want to check your own firewall/anti-virus first.

[velvet glen]

hello everyone, is it me or dedicated host servers are in bad shape? at this point so hard to know which host provider is best, anyone can tell me which host provider most people using?

[alpine dawn]

I have my own server and have no issues

[velvet glen]

more interested in knowing what host provider people using most thank you.

[alpine dawn]

this isnt really the place for that

[velvet glen]

stuff happens

[swift delta]

Is there a way to keep the server from resetting daily?

[wild notch]

Resetting? or restarting?

[swift delta]

Restarting sorry

@wild notch I'm hosting it on my own PC, yet everyday it shuts down but doesn't come back up till I do a manual start up.. want to know if there is a way to disable this

[wild notch]

Does your PC restart everyday? My server does not restart so I am not sure.

[swift delta]

No, I've actually been on the server and it does a count down to restart

I'll do some checking around and see if there's something I turned on

[alpine dawn]

no its programmed into it to restart every 24hrs

[alpine dawn]

best thing to do is set it up as a service

so that it will auto restart

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

[swift delta]

Thanks looks like I need to DL nssm

@alpine dawn thank you

[swift delta]

Well this program seems a bit of a pain lol

[alpine dawn]

steps look pretty easy on the wiki

I personally dont use the windows version of the server

[swift delta]

Got ya, it says that the service was set up correctly not sure how test it out.. dont know if its supposed to relaunch the program when it close.. which would mean that if i shut it down it would automatically restart.. or is it just supposed to keep it form shutting down every 24 hrs.

[swift delta]

if anyone else is using NSSM, and can give me a hand with it send me a DM, i can see the service running, but if i close my server it doesnt reopen it.. not sure what im doing wrong.

[orchid vault]

doesnt nssm have help and forums and such

[swift delta]

just downloaded it.. so still working things out.. not 100% sure but i will go double check

using the link on the wiki.. i dont see where they do

[orchid vault]

probably dont

wiki isnt going to learn every single software u could pick

[swift delta]

one of the reasons i want to see if there is anyone else that has had success using it to keep there server up and running..

[orchid vault]

yes people use it

[swift delta]

running on windows 10 and using the steam client.

[orchid vault]

just have to learn how to setup and use it

[swift delta]

Or could possible get some pointers from people who have set it up successfully since ive been trying for close to an hour now.. with still no luck..

[orchid vault]

i would find tutorial or how to and read to learn

nssm isnt that popular it might take time

[swift delta]

so what quicker way to do it than to see who has had success with it..

[orchid vault]

wiki page

[swift delta]

been there done that.. lost the tshirt.

[orchid vault]

its all there

[spark raven]

Short question... I think it's damn complicated but...

Is there any possibility to install a Gameserver on a normal vserver with nothing on it... Like...Just like a Gameserver just without the server does everything on its own... Install the game and this shit... It must be possible but how difficult is it?

[orchid vault]

check the wiki link in topic

[spark raven]

damn, this sounds complicated :/

[swift delta]

well if anyone else has any other advise vs "check the wiki" I would much appreciate it.. if so send me a DM or @ me here.. TIA

[orchid vault]

read nssm .cc

[swift delta]

👍

[vital ibex]

Anyone using TCA to run their servers?

[alpine dawn]

what is TCA

[orchid vault]

thats a new one

[waxen hinge]

if i open the tool bar in steam it isnt ther but on epic games it is but it dosnt work

[flat sorrel]

I started up the dedicated server on my windows machine yesterday. It's running and I have it running my current world. But, I can't attach to it.

I get this in the log. [2022.01.04-11.27.51:679][734]LogNet: Error: IsClientMsgTypeValid FAILED (40): Remote Address = ::ffff:192.168.1.187

[flat sorrel]

Well, that was weird. I went into SMM and tried to enable the mods for the dedicated server. It crashed on loadup so I disabled it. Now I can join my game. wtf

[small depot]

You can do mods on Dedi's yet

Can't do*

[vital meteor]

Is there a way to increase draw distance of items and enemies for people on dedicated servers? clients are all set to very high

[alpine dawn]

I dont know of a way but yeah that would be helpful

I walk up on fire spitters that spawn out of nowhere all the time

lmao

[vital meteor]

yeah the surprise no slug to pack of spitters instead is always fun

[subtle sundial]

@flat sorrel from the modding discord’s bot

Mods do not work on dedicated servers. Dediserver support will require work and time. Please read the #faq about dediservers for more info, and do not ask for ETAs.
If a hosting service tells you they can make mods work, they are not telling the truth. Mods have to be built for these platforms, and they are not able to rebuild our stuff.

[timid obsidian]

Aye I have a problem
I was using steamcmd before server was on EGS but now that I have it there there is a version mismatch between game and server
Any idea ?

Or maybe it's because I'm on experimental ?

[lapis roost]

how can i start a server?

[alpine dawn]

yes EGS only has the EA server

so if you want to use that version you need to switch your client to EA as well

[alpine dawn]

wiki link is in the pinned messages

[timid obsidian]

😫

Thank's

[alpine dawn]

steamcmd is all I can run on my server so its fine

😄

[timid basalt]

Question

how would i run a satisfactory server on a digitalocean vps?

since it's a vps, it's like a commandline only.

[alpine dawn]

steamcmd

the howto is on the wiki

but yeah unless that VPS you have has a massive amount of ram its likely not going to work

plus I dont know what CPU they run

[timid obsidian]

Can't launch the server with the executable from steamcmd anymore, that's weird

[timid basalt]

ah alright

[alpine dawn]

it likely did launch but you didnt do it from the command line with -log -unattended so it just is running in the background with no output @timid obsidian

you will have to kill it in task manager and start it up with the proper command line parameters

@timid basalt how much ram do you have on your VPS?

[timid basalt]

i have 6

i read a bit of the wiki and i have the minimum amount.

[alpine dawn]

it might work, thats like bare min

yeah late game will start to have issues I suspect

[timid basalt]

prob

[alpine dawn]

I mean you are more than welcome to give it a try

no harm in trying

especially if you have the VPS anyway

[timid basalt]

i use the vps to host a few things. i didn't just buy it for satisfactory. but i have enough storage and since the only other thing i use it for takes up like 200mbs of ram and little cpu, it should work

if i have to ill just stop the other thing for it

[wild notch]

I am using 6gb at mid game right now.

[alpine dawn]

let me know if you run into problems following the wiki

[wild notch]

Out of 8gb

[alpine dawn]

how many players

[wild notch]

lol 2 😄 just a server for me and a few friends but they have not go on yet.

[alpine dawn]

ah

mine sits at 4GB idle

[wild notch]

I am using the steamcmd download for it. EPIC for some reason RIPs my CPU to 100% on my VPS

[alpine dawn]

windows VPS I presume

[wild notch]

Yeah

server 2019

[alpine dawn]

windows is not terribly efficient with the ram

[rustic lantern]

Windows on server?

Unless you have a very good reason to have it, otherwise * * eh * *...

[blissful flower]

i've heard windows 11 is much more RAM efficient

[alpine dawn]

dunno, unless you have a specific reason for windows I wouldnt use it for a game server

[rustic lantern]

I normally cut testicles for windows on servers, especially these whose ideas are to run a WSL on them.

[wild notch]

It does what I need and it is simple.

[alpine dawn]

it is simple

[rustic lantern]

for those, who can't install Debian 😀

[wild notch]

Its not that I cant. it I havent and have not really cared to try

[rustic lantern]

if you're OK with some extra bandwidth RDP generates...

[blissful flower]

I normally cut testicles

what does that even mean

[wild notch]

It means he like playing with balls

[blissful flower]

😳

[alpine dawn]

🏀⚽🥎⚾

[blissful flower]

embed fail

😅

[timid obsidian]

Yeah right, thank you don't know why it wasn't working anymore

[rustic lantern]

windows are OK if you have to deal with corporate 💩 and so on, where people aren't sane or capable enough to use SSH

what I really love on SSH + screen is that I can work on 200+ servers efficiently for mass deployment, even RDP can be tunneled with it

[blissful flower]

So with dedicated servers am I using a server in a server room or am i using a computer i own as the server?

[rustic lantern]

that can be anything

it can be a normal server in a datacenter or your own machine in your home

[blissful flower]

oh ok

[alpine dawn]

whatever you have access to that can run it

[rustic lantern]

even VPS / Virtual machine qualifies for that

[blissful flower]

just wanted to know if my ability to host was Datacenter or personal machine or both

[rustic lantern]

seriously speaking, Win server is OK if you have stuff you can't run anywhere else. Sure you can go for Win server, but I dislike the extra requirements for bandwidth and the fact RDP isn't that encrypted like SSH does

that's why I hate anyone who writes Win-only software (hello to Astroneer punks) and forces you to commit crimes on humanity (my last was Wine with VNC inside a Podman container)

[alpine dawn]

bigger issue is they are more expensive to run

there is more memory overhead so you need a bigger server regardless

and then licensing

[rustic lantern]

not just that, if you don't want to pay maintainer, then you have to maintain it

[alpine dawn]

thats the current mem usage on my server idle

[spark raven]

oh, there's barely nothing i love more than seeing like 100 errors while booting up my server... and in the final end... it still works...

[alpine dawn]

Lmao 🤣 its just a chatty server

[orchid vault]

hahaha

also colors dont = error alot are just notice/warnings

[jagged mulch]

any one have a issue of someone not being able to join a server even tho its active and working

[orchid vault]

ya it happens

make sure server can connect

[jagged mulch]

im on the server currently

[orchid vault]

tell client to fix their defender and whatever otehr software can stop exe / net access

you saying ur on the server doesnt mean anything cause noone knows what your talking about

u could be on same comp or lan and have internet settings 100% wrong

wiki has all you should need

[alpine dawn]

yes if they have mods installed it will not work

[jagged mulch]

the server is set up thru nitrado i was able to find it via my ip address and was able to locate it but friend cannot with the same info i used

[orchid vault]

hahahaha

should contact nitrado

[alpine dawn]

99% of the time people have a mod installed they "forgot about" and removing it magically fixes everything

[orchid vault]

or they remove mods and dont turn off mods in the manager so it unloads the mod loader pak

[jagged mulch]

creg can you dm please

[alpine dawn]

?

[orchid vault]

wants you to connect to it most likely

[alpine dawn]

oh your DMs are disabled

[orchid vault]

lol

thats funny cause he out of blue dm'ed me

[alpine dawn]

ah

IPv6 strikes again

[orchid vault]

lol

[chrome torrent]

^wait is IPv6 not supported for this server?

[subtle sundial]

pretty sure it is, there's a launch option for it

!wikisearch dedicated server

[hushed gate]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?query=dedicated server

[chrome torrent]

I was reading that, even got pointed there from other pages with a "Check this page to see how to test it" but it doesnt mention that :p

Since it's UDP its not that much fun to test either

[covert sand]

warning are not errors

[spark raven]

there are warnings, however there are at least 2-5 red ones while startup each time

[alpine dawn]

It's good to have colorful output

[spark raven]

xD

[alpine dawn]

😂

[spark raven]

but uhm... sure... warnings... but even warnings shouldn't appear, should they?

why should i be warned when anything works fine haha

[alpine dawn]

There is a lot of cleaning up they have to do on the servers still so it's not too surprising it's not pretty yet

[spark raven]

yeah lmao

but at least it's working...
stones are pretty annoying because they reappear everytime ... but besides there are only bugs with vehicles ig, didn't noticed much different shit

[alpine dawn]

The issue is he was trying to get people who don't have ipv6 to connect to an ipv6 address because he didn't know the ipv4 address

[spark raven]

may i should post it without leaking my ip address lol

[chrome torrent]

i figured as much but then i got concerned it wasnt supported at all

im trying to host multiple servers from home but only have one ipv4, and all my friends have ipv6 anyway, so was going to make that standard if possible :p

but couldnt get it working completely yet

[alpine dawn]

And at the time I didn't have ipv6 enabled so I couldn't connect to his server either

Just use different ports for each instance

[chrome torrent]

nah, wheres the fun in that :p why build a complex factory, when you can build a complex network

[alpine dawn]

I suppose, I did end up struggling through setting up ipv6 last night

So now I have that

[chrome torrent]

i can imagine

i feel like i have to re-learn eevrything as well

but thats okay

[alpine dawn]

First time setting it up on my new router

Was kinda a pain

[chrome torrent]

but didnt it feel satisfying once you got it working

[alpine dawn]

I suppose, I didn't set it up before because it's a garbage implementation using 6rd so it's whatever

[trim raft]

Hi all, I'm having an issue after about 12 hrs on the VM. I get "watchdog: bug: soft lockup - cpu...." spam. If i watch htop its one of the Satisfactory server threads from each dedicated server. I can kill the hung processes if I'm logged in already, but I get stuck if i need to log in as that also gets "soft locked"
Host Box:
VM setup:

sorry meant to post system specs, I'll do that if anyone needs it.

[reef gull]

Your /var/log isn't full or something, is it?

[trim raft]

i'll check

[reef gull]

preventing login via ssh or console is tripping that off and that things are hung up after some log spam

[trim raft]

I'm not seeing anything that suggests that the logs are full, /var is not its own partition and the largest log file is 16MB

[chrome torrent]

what(which?) hypervisor

[trim raft]

also i have ~210GB availible

bhyve

Its a VM on TrueNAS Core

[reef gull]

so where /var resides is not getting choked out... not sure about VMs on TrueNAS, never messed with those... I'm a SysAdmin, and I've only dealt with VMWare, HyperV, and Xen.

[alpine dawn]

Is it KVM?

I don't know what tech truenas uses

I have mine running in an LXC container

[pale trench]

Hello, my dedicated server is failing to start with errors related to api.stathat.ez, does anyone know how to get around this?

Its been working for weeks

[trim raft]

Its FreeBSD, but the VM i'm running is Arch

[alpine dawn]

looks like its running, if you do netstat -lnpu does it show all 3 ports open?

[alpine dawn]

I see

[alpine dawn]

Bhyve VM?

[trim raft]

yes

[alpine dawn]

looking at the trueNAS forums this is a very common issue

[trim raft]

yes all 3 ports are open for each server (6 ports intotal

[trim raft]

I wonder if its a numa node or logical CPU allocation issue

[alpine dawn]

the port question wasnt aimed at you

[trim raft]

my bad

[alpine dawn]

looks like all ports are there, are you just not able to connect or what?

shit

[alpine dawn]

www.truenas.com/community/threads/bhyve-with-ubuntu-19-04-keeps-locking-up.79191/#post-561729

my gut feeling is there is something wrong with that hypervisor

links arent allowed my dude

[pale trench]

It doesn't show up on the client side

[trim raft]

ok i'll dig more, i might have to reverse roles and make truenas the VM on linux

[alpine dawn]

run the same command with sudo or as root and it will tell you the process ids so you can make sure the right program has those ports open but it would be kinda odd if something else used the exact same ports

[alpine dawn]

not a bad idea

I ended up just building a dedicated box for game servers and let my file server serve files

[pale trench]

Thanks for all your help, it appears to be working now, so weird

Not sure why

[alpine dawn]

odd

[pale trench]

but I'm not complaining

[rustic lantern]

😀 IPv6 is plague...

[pale trench]

very

[alpine dawn]

nah just people dont know any better and assume that everyone has an ipv6 address and are confused pikachu when they dont

[rustic lantern]

well, until we'll have a completely-compatible world with IPv6, I rather stick with 4

It works.

[alpine dawn]

seems to

[rustic lantern]

I' tell you a joke about NAT.
I'll have to translate it, though.

[alpine dawn]

naturally

😉

against my better judgement I did re-enable ipv6 last night on my home network I may try to connect to my server with it today after work and see how that goes

need to make sure my VM gets an address first

for some reason it didnt pick one up off the RAs last night

[rustic lantern]

seriously speaking, in my last job I had a client requesting 6 to be deployed on certain interface in bond.
Thanks to numerous issues I had to shut it down to get at least basic access, after complaint I had to turn it on again.
Client was surprised they couldn't reach their cluster of machines, so disabled it again.

I'm OK with 6 when whole world migrates to it, but since some services are still 4-only, I don't really plan to "go"

[alpine dawn]

odd, what kinda interface bond was it?

802.3ad?

[rustic lantern]

type=5, if I recall correctly, 10G fibre

HP Gen 10, but not sure if it was 380 or something else.

[alpine dawn]

never had any issues with link aggregation if properly setup

[rustic lantern]

link was OK, but something related to 6 (probably bad GW) dit it, so everything including GPN (basically anything including SSH) went to 6 address, not 4 as designed

[alpine dawn]

inbound to the machine?

so people were trying to hit its ipv4 address and it was somehow coming to the v6?

upstream nat is the only way for that to happen

[rustic lantern]

yes, we had directives for dividing the network, later we had network team to turn on the ports (so basically a manager found a shitty excuse to keep their positions, although it could be fully automated in that time)

[alpine dawn]

anyway it sounds like someone forgot to finish configuring the upstream router to do translation back to v4

[rustic lantern]

probably. Since we were just the folks deploying the system itself, we were out of any mean how to solve it ourselves

[alpine dawn]

yeah nothin you can do if the people running the network dont know what they are doing

figured out why my VM is not picking up the RAs

I suspect there is a setting I am supposed to click on in proxmox to make that on

rather than manually editing that file

[rustic lantern]

what's the distro?

[alpine dawn]

its ubuntu server running in a LXC container on proxmox

[rustic lantern]

aha, I'm used to standard /etc/network/interfaces

[alpine dawn]

there was indeed a setting in the web ui to enable it

[rustic lantern]

or /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts on RHEL/Fedora/Centos

[alpine dawn]

it was set to static

and yes that net config is not in the normal location for ubuntu either

but due to the nature of having a webui configure it they had to put configs in standard places

[rustic lantern]

makes sense.

[alpine dawn]

so they are banking on the fact that almost all distros use systemd

its a dirty hack but it works

[rustic lantern]

I remember times of /etc/init.d ...

[alpine dawn]

wow that was dead simple, just one quick change in the gui and reboot the container

up on ipv6

cool now both my containers have ipv6

[rustic lantern]

I know LXC, maybe, do you know openVZ?

[alpine dawn]

hmm I have used openVZ before

it was kinda a pain in the ass at the time because it was a VPS I was paying for

and it couldnt properly do openvpn because of the tun interface

it was a nightmare I ended up switching away from that

so all that to say yes I have been a user of that tech but not an admin

[rustic lantern]

I've been using it since I've heard about it until I've heard about LXC

which was way better

[alpine dawn]

yeah LXC is amazing

[rustic lantern]

I'm on Podman/Docker combo right now

[alpine dawn]

KVM is good too if you need a windows or BSD VM

I dont do docker

[rustic lantern]

I sometimes must, but if I can, I do Podman

[alpine dawn]

havent found a situation yet where I had to use docker

[rustic lantern]

I'm using it rather than LXC, I like it more

[alpine dawn]

dunno it seems like a pain in the ass to work with

[sinful grotto]

how do i setup a dedicated server if i downloaded it on epic games

[cosmic sky]

@alpine dawn Docker is love, docker is life

[alpine dawn]

nah fam

[alpine dawn]

check the pinned messages for the link to the wiki and follow the steps to setup the server on windows

[sinful grotto]

l

k*

[cosmic sky]

As a windows user and linux enthusiast I like the option of spawning linux VMs from command line on windows

it's easy to manage and works everytime the exact same way

[alpine dawn]

I mean you can do that with hyper-v

[cosmic sky]

ewww hyper-v

how do you run your linux VMs on linux then

[alpine dawn]

LXC

[cosmic sky]

never heard of it

googlin'

are hyper-V machines made to be created by scripts ? I've never done that

You create a new server, configure it like you want and then just copy the disk files around ?

[alpine dawn]

powershell my dude

yeah you can 100% manage hyper-v with scripts if you want

[cosmic sky]

at work we create a bunch of docker VMs with specific code versions to run automated integration tests on

[alpine dawn]

yeah thats what docker was made to do

[cosmic sky]

It's fairly easy to setup, I don't know if it would have made sense to do the same with hyper-v

[alpine dawn]

it just sucks as a general purpose VM

[cosmic sky]

ah yeah, the management interface is shit compared to hyper-V gotta give it that

hardware passthrough and such is sub-optimal

[alpine dawn]

about the only thing it has going for it is once you figure out all the black magic fuckery involved to get it working it works every time on any computer

but I dont need that for my VMs

I need easy to manage

which usually means being able to SSH into them and treat them like a real server

[cosmic sky]

docker ps -a list all docker containers
docker exec -it <container id> /bin/bash you ssh in it

[alpine dawn]

cant do that from my desktop

[cosmic sky]

you can

[alpine dawn]

would have to ssh to the server running docker then dick around with those docker commands

[cosmic sky]

you mean you'd need a CLI ?

aaahhhh

[alpine dawn]

I just want to fire up putty and ssh to an ip

done

[cosmic sky]

makes sense

yeah docker wouldn't allow that

[alpine dawn]

which is why its sub optimal

[cosmic sky]

I have no idea what your setup is haha

[alpine dawn]

I run proxmox

so everything is just containers

and they show up on my network as actual servers that I can ssh into and manage with native commands

[cosmic sky]

okay ! so you have a virtualization layer on a physical server

[alpine dawn]

yep

[cosmic sky]

it's your own hardware ?

[alpine dawn]

yes

[cosmic sky]

dang neat setup

I just upgraded my CPU/mobo/ram and I thought I might do that instead of selling it

posted it for more than it was worth and somebody bought it so I didn't ahaha

[cosmic sky]

what a cool setup

[alpine dawn]

right now its only got 2 containers and a windows VM

[sinful grotto]

@alpine dawn i have hit a rough spot can you help me

if so dm me

[cosmic sky]

just ask your question here mate

[sinful grotto]

em k

so i followed all the steps

[alpine dawn]

yeah ask in here I am busy at work right now

[sinful grotto]

but it still says my server is offline

lemme grab a pic

no matter what i do this happens

can i get some help

@cosmic sky @alpine dawn

[cosmic sky]

your server is setup locally ?

[sinful grotto]

idk man i dont do this stuff

im just trynna mess around wiht my freinds lol

[cosmic sky]

your machine where the server is running is also where you're connecting from ?

[sinful grotto]

im confused

can you maybe simplify it a bit more

[cosmic sky]

Where is your server

where are your running the dedicated from

[sinful grotto]

my pc

[cosmic sky]

and you're trying to login from that same pc ?

[sinful grotto]

yes

am i not supposed to do that?

[cosmic sky]

nah it's fine

You should have a text log somewhere

the wiki section Common errors or problems

[sinful grotto]

whta text log lol

[cosmic sky]

has a bunch of steps that ask to look at the log

have you found the log yet ?

[sinful grotto]

no

[cosmic sky]

that's what you need to do then

[sinful grotto]

how do i find the log

[cosmic sky]

it's in the same folder the server is installed most likely

it's gonna have a bunch of messages in it, including probably the error why it's not working

[sinful grotto]

what do i do

i dont see a log anywhere

[cosmic sky]

you have to run the server with the -log option

in a command line

[sinful grotto]

man ima say this again

i know nothing about commands and that stuff

[cosmic sky]

shift + right click in the background of that folder

then you paste .\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

(I think)

[sinful grotto]

got it

so many command lines

huh

it just kinda dissapered

never touched nothing

just poof

[cosmic sky]

maybe the -unattended should be removed ay

[sinful grotto]

um

you know the thing i just copied

well it somehow just changed to this

[cosmic sky]

when you select some text in a command line and right click it copies text

[sinful grotto]

o

this says fatal error in it though

could that be what we need

[cosmic sky]

Could not bind any addresses to port '15777'

that means you're already running the server on that port (probably)

you need to shutdown your currently running server if you want to start another one

[sinful grotto]

how do i do that

[cosmic sky]

reboot your PC for an easy shutdown lol

or maybe you kill it with task manager

[sinful grotto]

ok i killed 2 things that where in the background called satisfactory

did that do it?

[cosmic sky]

try again with the command line

[sinful grotto]

is doing something

[cosmic sky]

better

[sinful grotto]

so what now

a bunch of command lines showed up

[cosmic sky]

try to connect, see if something moves

[sinful grotto]

so try to load up satisfactory?

[cosmic sky]

yeah

or read around the log and look for something that seems wrong

search for "error" or "fatal" or "warning" maybe

[sinful grotto]

there are 3 red command lines

[cosmic sky]

not good

[sinful grotto]

all say same thing

[ 0]LogGenericPlatformMisc: Error: SetEnvironmentVar not implemented for this platform: SteamAppId = 526870

also alot of warning things

there is a bunch of yellow warning lines and those 3 red lines

@cosmic sky you there

[cosmic sky]

idk about this specific error

[sinful grotto]

great

[cosmic sky]

take a screenshot of everything around it maybe

[sinful grotto]

k

[cosmic sky]

paste the whole log

that line isn't the problem I think

[sinful grotto]

there is like 25 warnings

[cosmic sky]

[2022.01.05-19.16.40:860][ 0]LogOnline: Warning: STEAM: Failed to initialize Steam, this could be due to a Steam server and client running on the same machine. Try running with -NOSTEAM on the cmdline to disable.

there's a lot of errors lol

[sinful grotto]

ya

i did something wrong

for sure

[cosmic sky]

did you run this in powershell
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound ports" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 15000,15777,7777

[sinful grotto]

nope

[cosmic sky]

lol you have to follow the steps

try it

[sinful grotto]

i followed some vid my freind told me to follow

[cosmic sky]

ah

[sinful grotto]

that is alot of red

[cosmic sky]

the end of your log says NAT Detection failed, unable to resolve host

you have to run that as admin probably

[sinful grotto]

New-NetFirewallRule : Access is denied.
At line:1 char:1

   tFirewallRule], CimException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Windows System Error 5,New-NetFirewallRule

[cosmic sky]

yeah

[sinful grotto]

so lemme guess

i gotta restart from scratch

this is the vid i followed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_mNOgyCn-k

[cosmic sky]

open powershell as admin

[sinful grotto]

done

YAY NO RED FOR ONCE

nwo what

now*

[cosmic sky]

run the server

[sinful grotto]

so start up satisfactory

[cosmic sky]

no

[sinful grotto]

o

[cosmic sky]

run the server server with powershel

and look at the log again

[sinful grotto]

oh that command from earlier?

[cosmic sky]

make sure it doesn't say "nat problem" at the end

yeah

NAT Detection failed, unable to resolve host is not good

[sinful grotto]

so run this right

.\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

[cosmic sky]

yiss

[sinful grotto]

same thing

[cosmic sky]

reboot your PC maybe it'll help with new firewall rules idk at this point

don't open steam or anything

only open your powershell and start the server

after reboot

[sinful grotto]

ok so ima reboot then open discord and power shell

BRUHHH

@cosmic sky im dying here what am i doing wrong

im done

dedicated servers are gay

and im never trying them again

[cosmic sky]

@sinful grotto you were in the wrong folder

You have to run this command in the server folder

[sinful grotto]

o

shit

ok one more try

[cosmic sky]

run powershell as admin

and try starting server like that

you have to change folder

command "cd <path>"

[sinful grotto]

?

step by step pls

[cosmic sky]

current folder when you open powershell

[sinful grotto]

lemme get that

[sinful grotto]

PS C:\Windows\system32>

this is wat i got

[cosmic sky]

you want to browse the directory with your server in it

[sinful grotto]

and how do i do that

[cosmic sky]

go in the folder with regular windows explorer

copy the text in the bar up top

cd <ctrl+v>

well you right click to paste actully

not ctrlv

[sinful grotto]

ok i get that part

but how do i get to that folder

i dont see that text

[cosmic sky]

you had it earlier lmao

cd C:/Users/Noah/Downloads/satisfactory/satisfactorydedicatedserver/Engine/Binaries/Win64/

[sinful grotto]

so i need to get back there?

[cosmic sky]

it's in your log you pasted

yeah

well if that's where the server .exe is

[sinful grotto]

ok on top of my powershell it says this

PS C:\Users\Noah\Downloads\satisfactory\satisfactorydedicatedserver\Engine\Binaries\Win64>

i see a crash report client with the satisfactory symbol on it

[cosmic sky]

idk run the same command as earlier

[sinful grotto]

eh

[chrome torrent]

screenshot of prompt?

[sinful grotto]

hm?

[chrome torrent]

post a screenshot of your current command prompt

[sinful grotto]

if i try to screenshot it my screenshot just tturns balck for some reason

[cosmic sky]

he's still in the wrong folder

[sinful grotto]

i am.......

but on top of the folder it says this

C:\Users\Noah\Downloads\satisfactory\satisfactorydedicatedserver\Engine\Binaries\Win64

this is what you told me to find

[cosmic sky]

you have to go in the folder where FactoryServer.exe is

I have no idea what folder that is on your computer

you should know where that is, you were in it earlier

[chrome torrent]

why are your screenshots black? seems like an odd error :p

[cosmic sky]

yes

[sinful grotto]

ok

[cosmic sky]

now browse there with your admin powershell

[chrome torrent]

while i havent read the entire history, cant you use that start.cmd command in there?

[sinful grotto]

so i do cd then the ting on top

[chrome torrent]

or make it do what you want from there

[sinful grotto]

idk im new to commands

[cosmic sky]

yeah

[sinful grotto]

like this is the first time i have seen powershell

done

[chrome torrent]

if you think you're in there, type dir *.exe and see if it shows up

[cosmic sky]

start server with the command now

[sinful grotto]

this is the one right

.\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

[cosmic sky]

ye

[sinful grotto]

pleaseeee

DAMN IT

still says nat unable to resolve host

[cosmic sky]

try ingame

see if you see it

[chrome torrent]

this is why windows sucks as a server

[sinful grotto]

wdym

[cosmic sky]

open up satisfactory

and look if you see your server

[sinful grotto]

k

it is just taking a year and a half

bruh epic games launcher dont even be starting

[chrome torrent]

epic
windows
well okay im outta here 😇

[sinful grotto]

eh

[alpine dawn]

did you guys figure this out?

[sinful grotto]

no

[alpine dawn]

that error means you have 2 copies of the server running

[sinful grotto]

well

oh right we did

everything else is starting up but epic games aint

[chrome torrent]

just reboot the thing :p

[sinful grotto]

ok

[chrome torrent]

fresh start and all that

[cosmic sky]

he did lol

[alpine dawn]

dunno where you guys are and not going to read the scrollback but let me know if you want me to jump in

[cosmic sky]

so far: Logs seems to say a lot of errors, steam API issues, NAT issues

he rebooted

ran powershell as admin

not working

[alpine dawn]

what errors specifically

[cosmic sky]

open firewall

[chrome torrent]

yeah but then epic didnt work so i suggested another reboot to deal with that

well those reactions get annoying real quick xD

[alpine dawn]

epic

[sinful grotto]

back

ok before i load up anything

is there something i gotta do first

[cosmic sky]

wash your hands

[chrome torrent]

install gentoo

nah just start the server

see if it starts up

then, try client

[sinful grotto]

ok so start the server then load satisfactory right

[chrome torrent]

yes

[alpine dawn]

do not start the server by double clicking on the exe that will result in sad times

[sinful grotto]

ye im not

im runing this command

.\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

that is what cheeto said to do

[alpine dawn]

yup

[sinful grotto]

another nat detection failed

[alpine dawn]

thats fine

dont need it for now

[sinful grotto]

so what now

[chrome torrent]

check game

[sinful grotto]

ok epic loads this time

these reactions man

[alpine dawn]

open the game go to the server manager and put in your computer's IP address

[sinful grotto]

ok

[chrome torrent]

might want to start with localhost if its your local pc

[sinful grotto]

wdym

[alpine dawn]

do you know your PC IP address?

[sinful grotto]

yes

i got it copied

[alpine dawn]

add a server in server manager

put that IP in

[sinful grotto]

what port

[alpine dawn]

leave it alone

just put the IP in

[sinful grotto]

ok

then hit add server?

[alpine dawn]

yes

[alpine dawn]

what IP did you use?

[chrome torrent]

what ip did you enter

[sinful grotto]

my public ip

[alpine dawn]

wrong

[sinful grotto]

is that the wrong one

[chrome torrent]

yeah thats not gonna work

add localhost

[sinful grotto]

o

how

[chrome torrent]

add server

address

localhost

[alpine dawn]

delete that server

add a new one with the address localhost or 127.0.0.1

[sinful grotto]

it is asking me to name it

[alpine dawn]

cool

[chrome torrent]

good

[sinful grotto]

finally

[chrome torrent]

thaht means its working

[alpine dawn]

its working

[sinful grotto]

YESSS

so am i good now

just name it and im done

[alpine dawn]

if you are the only one playing yes

if you want friends to join no

there are a ton more steps

[sinful grotto]

i want a few freinds

lemme just make a pass and stuff

then i will do the rest of the steps

[chrome torrent]

(imma be a dick here but) i always wonder if its wise to have someone with no experience run a publicly-accessibly server

[alpine dawn]

if you dont have access to your router to add port forwarding this is all a waste of time @sinful grotto

[sinful grotto]

wat

wdym port forwarding

[alpine dawn]

no its a horrible idea but whatever

[chrome torrent]

do you know what a 'router' is?

[sinful grotto]

i agree this is not a good idea but either way my only freind who knows this shit is a dick

[chrome torrent]

ever logged into its console panel

[sinful grotto]

i know what a router is

[sinful grotto]

and never

[kindred violet]

I just came across an Intel NUC 6. Time to see how well it runs the dedicated server!

[alpine dawn]

do you know the login credentials for your router?

[sinful grotto]

nope

lemme guess

[alpine dawn]

yeah

stop here

[sinful grotto]

i wasted your time

crap

[chrome torrent]

well not really wasted

but

yknow it just sounds unwise tbh

but if you insist

[sinful grotto]

well

[chrome torrent]

you can figure out the credentials to your router

add something resembling a 'Port forward' somewhere in the manual

[sinful grotto]

man i just wanted a server to play with some freinds and the hsot did not have to be online 24/7

[alpine dawn]

99% of the time they are written on the device

[chrome torrent]

cant you host one from the game itself?

[alpine dawn]

he would need to port forward

lol

[chrome torrent]

Regular game comes with a server i believe, people can join... i know at least via Steam they can

thats how we started out

but tbh that was in the same household, once we wanted to invite external players i just set up a dedicated one

[sinful grotto]

ok just tell me

[alpine dawn]

yeah you have to have ports open for the listen server too

[sinful grotto]

is this worth the time

[chrome torrent]

it could be

[sinful grotto]

or should i just suck it up and host one without a dedicated server

[chrome torrent]

i'd go with that tbh

seems a bit safer

one security bug in the same server and you invite north korea

[sinful grotto]

oh damn

[alpine dawn]

well...either way you will need to get into that router

[sinful grotto]

y

[alpine dawn]

to allow the ports through

[chrome torrent]

i only allowlist the IP's of my friends but your generic router wont be able to do that ,(usually)

[alpine dawn]

nobody will be able to connect otherwise

[sinful grotto]

yep ima just go with the safer rout

thanks for the help even though it was a waste

have a good evening

[alpine dawn]

welp now you have a sweet lan party server

[chrome torrent]

now, dont let this discourage from system engineering

[alpine dawn]

tbh his router most likely has the default password on it

haha

[chrome torrent]

i dont doubt that

and id love for people to selfhost

but it should be safe

[alpine dawn]

I mean of course we would have him put a condom on the ethernet jack, I'm not a monster

[chrome torrent]

you kinda are :p

[cosmic sky]

my router default password from my ISP is a 30 digit/letter mix

secure enough lol

trial and error would take a while

[alpine dawn]

and its likely on a sticker on the bottom of the router

[quartz sun]

Any way to improve train performance with mutiple players? They work pretty well when im the only one on but as soon as anyone else joins they start rubber banding

[alpine dawn]

are you able to monitor the server per core CPU usage when that happens?

[quartz sun]

No, this host lets me see ram usage and thats fine, but no cpu data

[alpine dawn]

ah well best guess you are likely maxing out single thread performance on their system

unfortunately hosting services are kinda a black box and its near impossible to know what is going on inside them

[quartz sun]

Ah ok ty

[alpine dawn]

its shared hosting so depending on how many others are using the same server machine and how much they overprovision their hardware it could be a transient issue

[sage crow]

Does anyone know a good video where I can follow how to start a server through the epic games version I mostly find steam versions

[alpine dawn]

did you already install it?

once its downloaded to a location the steps are basically the same

[sage crow]

Yup

Ah okay

[alpine dawn]

epic will keep it up to date

but yeah other than that all the start up commands and or service work is the same

[sage crow]

I see videos where they say to download steam cmd that's why I was confused

[alpine dawn]

yeah its either or not both

you can either use steamcmd to acquire the files or epic

[sage crow]

Ohh ok thanks👌

[alpine dawn]

once you have the files setup is the same

the quick and dirty get it working way is to open a shell and navigate to the location where it installed to and simply issue .\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

should be off to the races after that

if you fucked up and double clicked the exe because you got too excited you will need to use task manager to kill it because it will be running in the background

[sage crow]

I'll check it out in a bit and see if I can do it

[alpine dawn]

obviously if you want a more robust way to start it and have it come up on boot you will need to look into running it as a service

which is covered in the wiki as well

[gaunt abyss]

do private dedicated servers also run so poorly in terms of performance later in the game ? Or is my server host not able to create good servers ?

[alpine dawn]

your host likely has overloaded servers (shared/overprovisioned)

private servers are as good as you can buy

😄

general rule of thumb highest single core performance you can get the better

it is multithreaded to a point but for the most part the bulk of the work happens in 1 thread

[gaunt abyss]

According to support, the Satisfactory servers are not overloaded at all, they blame Coffee Stain Studios. 😅 They say their system scales up depending on performance and the developer's server software would not use the resources

[alpine dawn]

dunno man I run a server at my house and I dont have any issues

chances are they are running server grade hardware with a shitload of low clockspeed cores

[cosmic sky]

The opposite would be surprising

High performance per core server CPUs are rare

[alpine dawn]

and expensive

[gaunt abyss]

Too bad I was always very satisfied with the servers from my host and never had problems before 😕

[alpine dawn]

could be a transient issue

like I said its shared hosting

so if there are a ton of other game server on there that will affect your server

[gaunt abyss]

Sure, that's what most server providers do

[alpine dawn]

the problem becomes when they overprovision or if you overreach the abilities of their hardware

[gaunt abyss]

It's just a pity, my Ark, Minecraft ect. servers always ran without any problems

[alpine dawn]

unless they offer you tools to view the critical stats of the server there isnt much troubleshooting we can do

[gaunt abyss]

Does anyone know a good server provider for Satisfactory at the moment ?

[alpine dawn]

I suspect that would be highly subjective to your location, build size, number of players etc

[gaunt abyss]

the servers should always run smoothly, no matter if 2 or 10 players or if I have the map completely occupied with buildings. That is my requirement for a good server host 😅

[alpine dawn]

might be kinda hard to come by

[frosty gale]

if someone with malicious intent has physical access to your box, they have your entire network hostage.
It's secure enough on the actual box.

If they wanted to take your network down, they can do it in 5 seconds with physical access

[frosty gale]

just buy a VPS from some company and use that lol

[grizzled olive]

how to make it so that the create game doesnt skip onboarding?

[alpine dawn]

Well yes obviously physical access means you have no security

[alpine dawn]

What do you mean?

[grizzled olive]

the server always skips onboarding theres no option to start from tier 0 instead of 1

[alpine dawn]

oh are you talking about the landing pod thing?

yeah that doesnt happen on the server

well I am happy to report that the game works fine on ipv6

[vital grove]

Q: Is it possible to turn off the seasonal events on a DS?

[trim raft]

yes

in the console: FG.DisableSeasonalEvents 1

[vital grove]

Oh cool. Thank you @trim raft

[frigid vapor]

Anyone know what this error code means?

[orchid vault]

it failed to install something

try googling it lol

make sure u put unreal engine

[frigid vapor]

[06EC:0D48][2022-01-06T04:56:40]e000: Error 0x80070643: Failed to install MSI package.

anyway to instal this manually

[orchid vault]

probably lol

google it .. this is game support not unreal engine errors

most wont know the error codes

[frigid vapor]

tried googling it but nothing comes up about it

[orchid vault]

try asking in tech room .. thats not server issue

#off-topic-tech

[frigid vapor]

but its only poping up when i try to launch the dedicated server

[alpine dawn]

what is in the log file that it links to?

also check the event viewer

[gray lintel]

Hi folks. I still can't get my Linux Satisfactory server to start up again. Its been running fine since dedicated servers were released but I get the following error now:

[orchid vault]

can try the bug site for the write memory error

[gray lintel]

yeah I've searched the internet reasonably hard but nothing is coming up. I'm verifying the installation files with the following command:
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit

[orchid vault]

try the bug site

[gray lintel]

yeah I've been searching through there but no luck. I wonder if my game save is corrupt. I guess I'll try an earlier save and see how that goes.

[gray lintel]

that didn't help 😦

[lone imp]

can you add mods into a server manager through a save i currently have on said server?

[marble ingot]

hi, i also cant get my linux server to start properly. the steam api fails to start constantly

´´´LogOnline: OSS: Unable to create OnlineSubsystem module STEAM

the steamclient.so did not exist at "/home/steam/.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so" for me, so i created a link to "/home/steam/.steam/steamcmd/linux64/steamclient.so" as it was the only one i could find (as described in the wiki)

i also noticed, if i type "steamcmd +apps_installed" it shows:
0 apps installed :

same happens if i install via linuxgsm

okay nevermind. i got it running. thank you anyway!

[chrome torrent]

this is why im happy with the Docker container for linux hosts

[alpine dawn]

mods dont work with dedicated server

[stoic dew]

Good evening,
I host my dedicated server at home and have enabled the corresponding ports in my router, everything worked so far.
Now I would like to host a second server (runs on a different Internal IP address), but if I try to unblock this port again, it doesn't work, of course, because each port can only be used once.

But if I enter the port in Satisfactory as a changed port, it doesn't work.

What options do I now have to run two servers at the same time via one external IP address, or is this currently unsupported?

[alpine dawn]

you have to use the command line switches to move the ports around on the second server https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Command_line_options

-ServerQueryPort= -BeaconPort= -Port=

you will need to set all 3 of those

[stoic dew]

Which port number do I have to enter in the game?

When I change the configuration to -ServerQueryPort=15801 -BeaconPort=15001 -Port=8001

And where can I change the start arguments if the dedicated server is running on a Linux machine?

Never Mind, I can just put them behind ./FactoryServer.sh

[alpine dawn]

game works off the beacon port

sorry

the game works off the query port

[stoic dew]

So in my Case i have to enter 15801 in the Game UI

[alpine dawn]

yes

[stoic dew]

Thanks

[untold jay]

Truck station names not saving on server, anyone know what may cause or fix this or if it's a known bug?
