thank you for the help I was starting to run in circles lol

blazing halo
#

Yeah, well, people may want to make it seem simple to host a server, but it's not simple. You need some particular tech knowledge. It's not a weakness to ask for help with it, or even pay for it. :)

#

There's a bit of a road to go from "setting it up" to the ease of just typing up a web address and just going there.

raw vigil
#

yeah i usually get in the weeds when their are little things they leave out most of the time its finding the right ports lol

blazing halo
#

Well, all of the information is right up there, on the Wiki. If you haven't changed them, the ports are the default ones - also on the Wiki.

raw vigil
#

yeah founf them for satisfactory easily which was great

blazing halo
#

That it is. I can tell you that the Wiki contains all of the relevant information required to get your server going. Making sure it's Internet-reachable, however, is outside the scope of that document (or the Wiki itself), however there are excellent tutorials on the web, and there likely exist tutorials for your particular router's make & model, too.

#

Some routers offer a configuration backup facility, too. If yours does, avail yourself of it - if you break things, you can always reset the router (if necessary to get back in) and then restore the backup.

Hey guys, i still cannot connect to my server. I can see it being online, the server ping is 1ms (It's in my local area network so makes sense), previously it worked, but now i get a timeout error.

#

Also when i try to ping the server pc with cmd, i get timed outs

#

Oh wow i think i found the problem.. I'm gonna check if this works ill post the fix

#

Fully disabling the firewall does not appear to be working either. I can now however ping the pc from cmd

#

I had the "allow this app to bypass the firewall" promt or whatever it was. i tapped accept, but it's still not fixed

cunning field
#

how can someone join a dedicated server from outside of my router? i installed trough steamcmd and running as an anonymous

errant vine
#

You have to port forward

cunning field
#

aye thanks

#

that was what i expecting

errant vine
#

Btw my problem is fixed, i had to readd the ip of the server for some reason (even though it was still the same)

#

There are 3 ports you need to forward, though it works with 1 port (15777 udp) here

cunning field
#

oh tell me more

#

is it writte in the wiki?

errant vine
#

You can easily find videos on youtube on port forwarding

#

Yeah

cunning field
#

ik how to port forward

errant vine
#

Okay

cunning field
#

just i tought there are special ports

errant vine
#

These are the ports

#

Good luck

thankyou!

Hello, does someone know why on dedicated servers you can't pick up grass at certain locations?

You can try reloading a save

#

Have you guys been experiencing performance issues since the last hotfix?
We somehow all encounter some lag every 30 minutes or so since the last patch

#

And we all experience it at the same time

blazing halo
fervent mountain
blazing halo
#

It always has been for me, at any rate.

#

Maybe they added in some sort of periodic cleanup. Would certainly make it easier on the save process... (instead of having one massive several-seconds-long drop, it would get distributed over time as smaller drops)

fervent mountain
#

Hmm weird, i'll have to pay attention to it then.
But it's weird, it only started after the last hotfix

blazing halo
#

The log may say something incidental to the lag spike.

#

Note the time it happens next, and the next time, and see if it coincides with the same log message both times. It just might.

#

(then again, it might not; YMMV)

these bugs are getting pretty funny

#

After I build an explorer, and drive it, it clones

The work bench has also completely seperated itself from the Explorer lol

blazing halo
#

Oh, that's new. :D

#

(or maybe it isn't, I don't know)

stoic stream
blazing halo
#

Still, all of the bugs seem to stem from the same general issue - the game being confused about the thing and the representation of the thing. It's the same for grass/trees (can't pick up, can show), the boulders (can't blow up, can show), and the vehicles (can't interact, can show).

blazing halo
# stoic stream

That is definitely a new one for me... but it also might explain why vehicles bounce around...

#

That video should go up on the bugtracker, to be honest. Might provide a vital clue.

stoic stream
#

you mean on the forums?

blazing halo
#

No, on the tracker. They have a tracker you need to register on. Unless they're also calling it a "forum"?

stoic stream
#

send me a link

blazing halo
#

I saw the registration requirement and dropped the idea myself.

it still won't open

blazing halo
#

What are the symptoms of it "not working"? What have you tried that resulted in it "not working"?

#

that's what i mean with doesn't work

blazing halo
#

Define "won't open", because that's ambiguous.

blazing halo
#

Does it leave any logs behind?

static torrent
#

nope it won't even open the console

blazing halo
#

There's a Log Viewer in Windows. Please go there and find a crash entry for the application. Tell us what it says.

#

I bought a server but I don't know how to make it experimental can you help me?

blazing halo
#

To open the Log Viewer (actually named the Event Viewer), the fastest way is to right-click on "This Computer" and select "Manage" - then find it in the tree on the left.

meager phoenix
#

if i want a premium server hoster ? (don't care much about the price at this point) who should i choose , feel like Gportal stutters and a lot of lag

blazing halo
#

Though it depends on how you set it up. Is it a "Satisfactory server" service?

uncut current
#

I bought it as vds, I installed it manually, my server is on, but I don't know the experimental setup.

blazing halo
#

Ah.

#

Well, setting up Experimental essentially adds -beta experimental to your install command.

uncut current
#

thanks

blazing halo
#

(same app ID)

#

Keep in mind that saves are not backwards-compatible.

#

(u6 saves cannot be loaded in u5)

#

so make a backup.

#

Also note that u6 uses approx. 25% more RAM, at least currently.

That way you can keep both, should you want 'em.

Also, I thought +force_install_dir blah needs to go before +login?

The server is telling you that it can't use port 15777, for whatever reason. Either you lack sufficient permissions to bind to that port, or there's already something else running on it.

#

For starters, verify that you don't already have a server running - that's the most common cause.

#

It's possible it happened if you tried launching it by double-clicking it -- the window probably disappeared, so you thought it crashed, but it actually started up (just without the window), and has probably been running ever since. Any subsequent attempt to launch the same server would bail with "could not bind to port 15777" then, since it's already taken.

Has they been any bugs with trains and unloading the wrong stuff at a station?

blazing halo
#

"unloading the wrong stuff"?

north mirage
#

yeah we have a stup and it unloading when it shoudnt be

blazing halo
#

I haven't played with trains much myself, but... don't these unload all they have? Or am I wrong in my assumption?

north mirage
#

you can have a train unload rubber but nothing else

#

for example

blazing halo
#

Ah, I see.

#

Good to know. :-)

#

Is this issue specific to dedicated servers?

#

Or can you replicate it client-side?

#

(if the code is shared between the stations and the programmable splitters, that might be the issue too - the programmable splitters are bugged to hell and back)

@blazing halo

For future reference, your EOS ID might be more important to protect than your IP, especially if the IP is on a LAN.

#

yes

blazing halo
#

Contact your server provider and ask them if they allow connections on all of the required ports.

#

These are all non-standard, so they might not.

#

Otherwise, switch the ports to something else.

#

It might be possible that they don't want game servers on their machines, so they block 7777 for example.

#

I can't seem to find the SaveGames location. I get to FactoryGame and all that's in it is Config and Logs

blazing halo
#

They're held in the user's home folder, not in the game's folder. The location somewhat depends on whether you're on Windows or Linux.

uncut current
#

I told about it where I bought it, they will take care of it

primal fulcrum
blazing halo
#

You're looking for the server's save games, right?

primal fulcrum
#

Yes

blazing halo
#

I think it's ~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames.

#

That's also where ServerSettings are.

primal fulcrum
#

That's what I was saying above, I get there, but there's only Config and Logs under saved

blazing halo
#

Then you're in the wrong place.

#

Config and Logs is stored under SERVER_INSTALL_DIR/FactoryGame/Saved

primal fulcrum
blazing halo
#

Yup, you're in the server's install folder.

primal fulcrum
#

Is that correct or no?

blazing halo
#

No, it's not.

#

Have you noticed the ~ ?

primal fulcrum
#

Where?

blazing halo
#

In the path I gave you.

primal fulcrum
#

Let me CD to it

blazing halo
#

It means "home folder for the particular user I'm running as".

#

For my game, it translates to /home/steam

primal fulcrum
#

The issue is I'm hosting this through a 3rd party software called AMP which creates virtual instances

blazing halo
#

Also note that, depending on how your stuff is configured, dot-files and dot-folders may be hidden from you.

primal fulcrum
#

Holy shit

#

I found it

#

I see what you meant

#

It's not even inside of the game directory at all

#

That's kinda dumb

blazing halo
#

I don't surely understand why they split it (I'm used to being able to provide the path to saves, and them otherwise being in the server's folder), but they did.

primal fulcrum
#

That's kinda weird

#

ngl

#

I know you do that for windows as well

blazing halo
#

Yeah. I went and bound that to another location

primal fulcrum
#

But appreciate the help

blazing halo
#

since I keep all of my game state on a RAID

#

that is not attached to /home.

#

:D

blazing halo
primal fulcrum

#

I used to be able to get away with 50 GB system partitions. Now I need to keep around 200 GB because you never know...

#

At least some installers have done away with asking, and are no longer pretending you get a choice.

#

Thankfully, you can still move those folders to another disk... though it's painful and kinda involved. But it's still possible.

#

(it's also possible - though not many people know this - to map a partition into an NTFS folder, much like on Linux)

#

anyone can reccomend a good server hoster ? Gportal is full of stutters and lag all the time

fervent mountain
#

Coming back to my lag, it happens after the server saves

#

So you were right @blazing halo

#

I guess there's nothing to help with it

blazing halo
#

Sadly, no. :-)

#

Have the same issue on my u5 - it hangs for about 10 seconds.

meager phoenix
#

so everytime the game saves there is a bunch of lag and stuttering for 10 seconds ? trains moving backwards etc?

blazing halo
#

Well, the server freezes for the time it takes it to save,

#

so everything goes back to where it was before it started saving.

#

No stuttering or anything. Just, a spring-back.

meager phoenix
#

yea thats like when i save when hosting privately ...

#

how much ram should i atleast have on a dedicated server ?

blazing halo
#

9 GB for u5, probably 12 GB for u6.

#

That should be a comfortable minimum, I'd say.

#

But since the server doesn't really seem to grow much beyond that... I'd say that's a good amount overall.

#

(and it already includes a bit of "leftover" RAM for other OS-related tasks and housekeeping)

im just not happy with the provider i have, im not sure if its just cause it's dedicated or if its that provider

Hi everyone, I'm looking for help in setting up a dedicated server.

I'm using a Windows 10 Machine and have used the Steam GUI to download the Dedicated Server Software via the "tools" tab.

I've forwarded ports 15000, 15777, and 7777 to my host machine through my router, and I have set up Windows Defender rules to allow UDP traffic on the same ports. While in game under the "Server Manager" tab, if I add the server via the Public IP or my network(or the DuckDNS associated domain) I am able to see the Status of the Server(Game Ongoing) and the ping to the server, however I am unable to connect/join using the public IP. When using the LAN IP of the host machine, I am quickly able to join and play.

Any ideas for how to connect via the Public IP of the network?

blazing halo
#

You could try disconnecting your PC from the LAN, and then using a tethered GSM connection to try.

#

(some phones offer the "personal hotspot" option as well)

#

The point is to be outside your LAN.

#

(with the server remaining inside of it, obviously)

copper burrow
#

The host machine for the server is the same as my client, I will have to wait for a friend to be off to verify if they can/'t.

blazing halo
#

Then do that. The results of that test determine further action (if any).

bright leaf
#

i'm having issues updating my server to the newest update. would anyone be able to help id rather not have to start this world over again.

blazing halo
blazing halo
#

Updating the server is done by using the same install command. Migrating to experimental is done by appending -beta experimental to it. It's all described in the Wiki. I'd recommend installing to a separate directory.

blazing halo
bright leaf
#

yeah didnt work it kept crashing on startup after updating

#

im currenty migrating my game files from linux to windows server

blazing halo
#

Out of curiosity, how much RAM do you have available?

bright leaf
blazing halo
#

Then it's clearly not RAM... What did the logs say?

#

(about the crashes)

bright leaf
#

i couldnt find anything other than error core dumped

blazing halo
#

The logs themselves would likely be in INSTALL_DIR/FactoryGame/Saved/Logs

#

Should be a CrashLog there.

bright leaf
#

ummmmm yeah that VM no longer exists.

blazing halo
#

The host OS should be a no-issue. I personally host under Debian, no issues for either u5 or u6.

#

So I have to think that it's a misconfiguration, somehow.

#

Still, if it dumped core, that's decidedly weird...

#

Unless you're using something like musl C or something...

bright leaf
blazing halo
#

I see no reason for it to coredump unless something in the system is profoundly different, like - a different standard C library...

bright leaf
#

could've been but i had this issue with that version of linux on my other VMs running other game servers with the same core dump error being a common thread.

blazing halo
#

Then something like that might actually be it.

#

Whatever it is, it'll probably be compiled against the standard libc, because most people have that.

#

But then, that's a quirk of your underlying OS, not the gameserver itself.

#

If you're disinclined to Debian's systemd, there's a version running sysv (I think) called Devuan. Essentially the same thing, sans systemd.

bright leaf
#

ill have to check that one out.

#

thank you for the help

blazing halo
#

Sure.

Hello, isn't there a Console command that I can use to fly under the map to remove unnecessary chest icons from the map?

blazing halo
#

That little white triangle - it's a waterfall. Be careful going down, as there's very little ground to stand on once you drop.

2022-07-05_09_45_30-Window.png
#

It's easiest to use a hoverpack, if you have it. Prep for a long excursion, consisting mostly of laying down foundations and power pylons.

#

I actually managed to build enough subterranean infrastructure (on mine) to traverse the entire map, north-east to south-west, but be aware that the whole thing is about 5 minutes of travel time by tube. It took about two weeks to build, as well. No matter how many resources you take, it won't be enough, trust me. ;P Thankfully, it's relatively easy to punch tubes up to the surface (as they will naturally align to ground once you target up; do remember to punch up a power pylon if you're planning on making a return trip via the same tube, though).

#

It's actually a great place to build anything water-related, as you can punch pipes up to the surface (needs a foundation and some sort of an attachment point however), and once extracted, the water only has to go down. Once down, assuming you're on always-level ground, it's a cinch to get it literally anywhere with no extra pumps.

#

Also, I'm not sure - haven't tried yet - but I fully expect drones to work there... seeing as they seem to ignore any solid objects when they fly (including buildings and mountains). Don't see why they wouldn't... :D

#

The only real issue is that the area is ugly as sin. :D

blazing halo

#

Configuration changes made at the server Console (e. g. FG.AutosaveInterval) are stored to disk upon a graceful server shutdown, and do not need to be re-implemented when the server is restarted unless the configuration files are removed or reverted.

That's likely too little for either u5 or u6, but especially u6.

u5, when fully loaded, uses something between 6.7 and 7.6 GB

and u6, in the same conditions, 8 to 10 GB.

livid ruin

so should i make it u5?

blazing halo
#

You can try, but I would just add more RAM.

#

Especially if it's an older system, RAM should be cheap enough to even outright replace if you're out of slots.

I restarted t like 7 times and now it works without that port forwarded... I wonder whether I should open port triggering for that port range in my router, or does the server do that with UPnP? I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to TCP stuff 😄

blazing halo
#

Actually, the ports are all UDP.

safe aurora
#

Even worse :LUL: but you're right, and I opened them as UDP.

blazing halo
#

Don't do port triggering, there's no need. Don't use UPnP, it's a security/administration risk.

safe aurora
#

TBH, I don't even know if this shitty ISP provided router even supports UPnP. Every setting in there is pretty much a guessing game, port forwarding is supported since last firmware update... I'll be switching that over to a nice Draytec Vigor this week. I just was committed to try and get it to work now 😄

#

But now I have U5 EA and U6 Exp servers running in parallel, both can be accessed and connected, running different saves. Very nice 🙂

Not currently possible. It's on the List, but there are higher priorities currently. It will be done, Eventually(tm). You can always download manually, from the server (just not through the in-game UI).

Noob question that has probably been answered but couldn't find it with search. With the update that came out I tried updating a dedicated server and it installed the same version not the updated version that the client is running. Can I force a server update to v0.6.0.7?
Edit: using steamcmd on windows
More info:
Game client: 194712
Server: 194360

#

I've tried verifying and it will reinstall the update but not server version 0.6.0.7

#

fixed it using the steam version

severe nimbus
#

Hey. If I'm getting this and I myself don't have control over the server, is it possible to roll back the version of my client, so it matches?

Is it better to use a dedicated server? will it fix the multiplayer lag?

supple pier

Okay, you have already answer that question, that's sure... But, how can i launch a dedicated serv by epic ?

lunar nymph
#

if your PC is having a hard time running satisfactory in the first place or you cant be on 24/7 to host for your friends then yes

#

for the second part again that depends on what you were running on in the first place, but as long as you dont try to run the dedicated server on a 10 year old potato generally the tickrate is better on dedicated

#

For me I ran one so any of my friends could get on at anytime AND i had some decent hardware i could host it on

rotund canyon
#

My hardware is fine is just once we get so far into the game with trains and stuff everything just breaks. I was thinking more along the lines of paying a hosting company for a dedicated server to always be up and probably have better hardware

A server will offload the majority of the backend load. The stuff that keeps the game ticking, managing the database of where stuff is placed, shit foliage you have removed, where every single item is in every container, on every belt, and laying on the ground. You know the stutter/pause during the autosave? You shouldn't see that at all on the server in most cases.

What's left is the graphical load, which should be honestly the majority of the heavy lifting, especially when you try to walk through a really large factory. There's a lot to render there.

Will a dedicated server help your performance in general? Almost definitely. Will it help the specific problem you mentioned? Maybe. It could be that your computer just isn't sure what to do with all of these limes and offloading the backend will do the trick. But maybe it's more graphics load. You can do some more digging on your own to see where the bottleneck is for you. If it's on disk a server will definitely help. If it's CPU a server MIGHT help. If it's GPU it's probably not going to help.

rotund canyon
#

Thank you!

faint tulip
#

Honestly if you have any alternate computer at all sitting around gathering dust (or in mild use) it's pretty easy to get a server set up. Follow a tutorial, get it running, copy your save over and load it up.

#

See how it works for you. If it still chugs maybe plan on a new save with U6 focused on more distributed manufacturing rather than a large central base

#

(my apologies if you're doing that already, I'm assuming you have an imkibitz style megabase)

Someone got into my dedicated server and deleted all the saves and spammed a bunch of empty saves. Where are the logs so I can see what steam id did this? Is it also possible to hand out a game ban to the steam id responsible?

From version 194290 you should be able to dismantle and rebuild the Pressurizers and Extractors on a Resource Well and Satellite Nodes, this is a potential workaround for this issue while we work on a proper fix for this."

how to update my experimental server

#

@blazing halo

uncut current
blazing halo
#

Update the server the exact same way you installed it.

uncut current
#

i tried but it doesn't work

blazing halo
#

It must work.

#

What are you using?

uncut current
#

in update file steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental +quit

#

steam cmd

blazing halo
#

So steamcmd. What version of the server do you currently have?

uncut current
#

game version 194714

#

server version 194360

blazing halo
#

From what I can see, the update went live 6 hours ago.

uncut current
#

yes

#

how can i update please help

blazing halo
#

Hmm. Incidentally, my u6 has segfaulted. Interesting...

blazing halo
#

Also, +force_install_dir WHATEVER goes before +login.

uncut current
#

i tried

#

ok

blazing halo
#

If it doesn't work, wait.

#

Steam has a whole content delivery network, it may take a while to update all repositories.

#

I personally keep running the update command until it just verifies.

#

(I use validate)

full vector
#

the CDN updates within minutes, if you are not seeing an update from a day ago, its usually a bad command installing it into a different folder

blazing halo
#

That's also possible, yeah. Though historically, Steam has had issues with updates not propagating.

#

Not sure if it's the CDN not propagating, or some queueing issues, but I've had to wait for several hours for an update to register before.

blazing halo
uncut current
#

kad

#

Take a look if you want, I'm different

blazing halo
#

Make sure your +force_install_dir actually reflects the install dir for your Satisfactory server, and that it happens before you login

uncut current
blazing halo
#

and try again.

full vector
#

what to keep in mind that +force_install_dir is relative to from where steamcmd lives, not from your current directory, so you are typically better off using an absolute path

blazing halo
#

Hm, I've learned to use absolute paths anyway, so yeah.

#

Also, it's starting to look like Satisfactory will go the way of ARK, using more and more disk space for its updates... >_<

#

(right now, if you want to update ARK, you better have something like 50 GB of free space...)

cobalt kettle
#

Does the Dedicated server prefer drives with fast sequential reads, seq writes, random reads, or random writes?

#

im shopping with a decent budget and want to get the best drive for the job

loud minnow
cobalt kettle
#

so no gain on a high speed? and even if slight would a higher random or seq help the servers perf?

#

even for large saves @loud minnow ?

loud minnow
cobalt kettle
#

also i would assume if its doing constant calcs on behalf of clients, wouldn't you still see gains on a faster drive?

loud minnow
#

no because is all in loaded in the RAM

cobalt kettle
#

why would every single game function be loaded in ram? especially considering the min is 8 gigs

#

wouldn't that mean it balances between in ram and out of ram

blazing halo
#

As far as I can tell, RAM speed doesn't really matter for the server, except when it comes to saving the game - in which case I'm not sure a tick up or down will help matters any, really.

#

Single-thread CPU performance is where it's at, here and for other dedicated servers.

cobalt kettle
#

Well I'm considering a p4500 since they are dirt cheap locally

#

And have great random reads, horrible random writes

loud minnow
#

and for update 6 is more than 8GB for sure lol

cobalt kettle
#

Assumed that would be the best choice for the job

blazing halo
#

What's a P4500 in terms of storage?

cobalt kettle
#

400 gigs

#

but for 30 bucks i could care less

#

its got around 420k 4k read iops

blazing halo
#

But what is it? All I can find is an Intel Celeron P4500.

cobalt kettle
#

which is dope, only around 50k 4k write iops iirc

#

oh sorry, intel DC P3500

blazing halo
#

(and SAN storage, but I doubt it's what you want)

loud minnow
#

i think he is talking about this Intel SSD DC P4500

cobalt kettle
#

p4500's are expensive in comparison

#

i meant the 3500 since the random reads are better and its still dirt cheap..

blazing halo
#

Ah, an NVMe.

loud minnow
#

a 980 pro is faster than that for a cheaper price lol

cobalt kettle
#

yeah, cheap intel u.2 drive.

blazing halo
#

Let me put it this way: I run my game from a magnetic, spinning HDD @ 5400 RPM, and it runs fine.

cobalt kettle
#

a 980 pro doesn't do 420k 4k iops @loud minnow

#

lol

#

promise you that

blazing halo
#

Absolutely no stutters with anything.

cobalt kettle
#

or it does :copium:

loud minnow
#

lol like i said HDD or the FASTEST NVME in the world it wont matter lol

cobalt kettle
#

🤷 still feel like some of it could matter

blazing halo
#

It doesn't.

cobalt kettle
#

drive and ram speed can't both not matter

#

that doesn't make sense to me

blazing halo
#

Why?

loud minnow
#

i think you need to do some research my friend

cobalt kettle
#

because you have a constant data flow, if both were either slow or full you would see slowdowns

blazing halo
#

What makes you assume the data flow is big?

loud minnow
#

lol

#

unless you a dev how would you know

cobalt kettle
#

it isn't, at least from what i understand, its smaller random data flows

blazing halo
#

To be fair, other games using this tech (like ARK or Conan) can have slowdowns as stuff is loaded in. However, that only really comes into play with mods.

cobalt kettle
#

which is why i assumed a p3500 would be good

blazing halo
#

And loads and loads of roaming creatures.

#

This game? Fairly frugal with its resources, as-is.

cobalt kettle
#

well we can have loads and loads of factory items

blazing halo
#

We can, but they're all the same factory items.

cobalt kettle
#

my friends two thousand hour save literally brought my drive to its knees

#

and items on belts

blazing halo
#

As far as I can tell, the limit on belt items is CPU speed as well.

cobalt kettle
#

like 100% drive usage, 100% ram usage

#

cpu was only chilling near 50-60%

blazing halo
#

How much RAM?

cobalt kettle
#

128 gigs

blazing halo
#

Because that sounds like loads of swapping.

cobalt kettle
#

dual 2643 0's

#

no cores are really maxed out on their own

blazing halo
#

Hm, that might be a CPU issue still. The E5s aren't young by any stretch.

cobalt kettle
#

true, but i mean i would be seeing the gamethread max out a core if it was a limit there

#

the ram usage isn't 100% maxed, but the ram that is being used is being maxed in iops

blazing halo
#

I had similar issues with my FX-8350 (similar age, too). 14fps in Fo4, but the CPU was around 65-70%.

loud minnow
#

no issues here with a 3950X 😉 lol

cobalt kettle
#

its only a problem from the save files items.. 2000 hours is a little insane.

blazing halo
#

Don't go comparing current-gen with a 10yo CPU. xD

loud minnow
#

LOL

cobalt kettle
#

but i guess i could go do some comparison with drives.

#

i could be the one to do it, haha

#

i need p3500 for some misc stuff i want to mess with anyways.

blazing halo
#

At any rate, I went with a generic NVMe attached via PCIe 2.0, and have no issues.

#

Just bought what was cheapest - which, at the time, was a Kingston SA2000.

cobalt kettle
#

true, and i will say for my usecase i think the p3500 IS the cheapest haha

#

im paying 15$ for 400gigs of nvme

blazing halo
#

I needed space more than speed, really.

#

Again, ARK. That by itself takes up something like 500 GB.

cobalt kettle
#

absolutely, but my dedi will just run all of the gameservers..

#

i plan to upgrade soon to dual 2697v2's

#

a little dated, but its a under 100$ upgrade, so it'l work

blazing halo
#

Yeah, I'm currently sitting on an i7-4770.

#

Sadly, that's EoL. No upgrade options apart from a k variant, which is quite a bit pricy for maybe a 5% speed increase.

#

(some $170 on my end)

cobalt kettle
#

ive got EOL hardware, mine happens to be some xeon phis i have in a huge stack

blazing halo
#

In the end, if I have to drop serious dough on the upgrade (and anything upwards of $150 is serious cash for me), I'd rather just get a new platform.

#

I mean, there's no future for DDR3 anyway, and 32 GB is the max I can do on consumer-grade.

#

And I'm not about to drop serious money (like 2-3x what I'd pay for a decent contemporary setup) just to brag about 16-gig RAM sticks. :D

cobalt kettle
#

if you're in the US i can sell you my v3 workstation

#

throw in a 2667v3 and got a good upgrade

blazing halo
#

About as far from the US as I could be.

#

Last time I checked, the was an iron curtain between us.

#

:D

cobalt kettle
#

😄 well im in texas, and i can literally drive 5 minutes away and buy a dual socket ivy-e server with cpus and ram for like 50$

blazing halo
#

Good for you! :D

#

I, on the other hand, am not sweltered constantly by 40°C heat.

#

It all works out, in the end. :D

cobalt kettle
#

its all fair haha

#

but honestly, thats the only reason im still messing about with outdated server hardware

#

like its just more money in the bank if i just wait

#

im still rocking a 1070ti

blazing halo
#

1080 for me.

#

Waiting for the prices to go way the fu- down.

cobalt kettle
#

i don't upgrade to upgrade, i don't get people who do that

#

my hardware gets enjoyed until it dies

blazing halo
#

Know the feeling.

#

Still have hardware from 1995 that still works, somehow.

cobalt kettle
#

i also love saving ewaste type hardware..

#

let me get a picture of my phis

#

i had alot of fun setting them up like that..

blazing halo
#

heheh

#

But ey, Xeons are still kinda fine for serious workloads.

#

Especially parallelised stuff.

cobalt kettle
#

they are very much fine. my 2643 handled that 2000 hour save better than i expected

#

those phis too, each card is 60 cores at.. 1.053ghz

blazing halo
#

As long as you have a platform that can actually use them, I guess.

cobalt kettle
#

yeah.. ive setup 8 before in one setup but man it was unstable

#

2400 watts of power, had to split it up between two breakers

blazing halo
#

Wanted a TRx4 setup at some point, but the prices are insane on that. At least from the consumer side, because for a company? Quite decent, actually.

#

Not about to drop $3000 on that, nope. :D

cobalt kettle
#

i was offered a 5995wx and board for 1400

#

still mad i turned that down

blazing halo
#

Damn.

#

Still, you have to kinda have a spare $1500 for that, don'tcha.

#

Which I don't.

#

:D

cobalt kettle
#

well, the resell on those was literally infinite

#

this was before those released

#

like 5000 for the cpu alone

#

technically isn't 5995wx still not released?

loud minnow
#

what are you even going to do with all those phi anyways arent they use for specialize workloads or something like that

cobalt kettle
#

well, yes but me and my community are coding more software for them

#

and its getting done slowly but surely

blazing halo
#

Now that is respectable.

cobalt kettle
#

we are building the codebase intel never did

loud minnow
#

my dedi was made from left over parts from upgrading my main rig that is why is mostly new hardware 3950x, 64GB 3466ddr4 and just a regular 1TB EVO SSD

loud minnow
cobalt kettle
#

i also got the world record in GpuPI for CPU 100m beating out quad xeon 8280's so they have some promise

loud minnow
#

i've seen some videos of those phi and looks pretty cool to mess around with but it seems is mostly enterprises things

cobalt kettle
#

depends on gens. if you're interested i can invite you over to my community if you throw me a dm. but they are great.. linus represented them poorly, though

loud minnow
#

yeah was just wondering.... that pretty awesome man

#

i dont really mess with old hardware but i still like buying hardware and get to mess around with it

cobalt kettle
#

they are dirt cheap

#

i paid 5$ per card free shipping

loud minnow
#

niceeee

blazing halo
#

Nice. I can find them locally for $250 minimum.

#

Would take one for $5+S/H (which would probably be $50 on its own) for a friend. :D He likes to tinker with stuff, would probably interest him.

cobalt kettle
#

@blazing halo if your seriously interested i'd ship more than one to you so you could resell at a huge profit, im planning to do that with a couple foreign friends

blazing halo
#

I would be, if you've no other use for them. I hate the idea of capable hardware just gathering dust.

lunar nymph
#

I'm a little late to the party but I think RJ was having a CPU bottleneck.
Even though task manager was saying no core was maxed the 2643 v0's are just to old.

#

I suppose it also could have been the HDD, IF the HDD was being accessed by a bunch of other things at the same time.

#

My server was a virtual machine, half a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, 32gb RAM, ASRock Rack X470D4U mobo, and the virtual disk on a 500GB Samsung SATA SSD

#

We started having tickrate issues when we were in the final stage of the space elevator

cobalt kettle
#

@lunar nymph in normal use I don't seem to have tickrate issues, but I did have misc issues when I loaded my friends 2000 hour solo save

lunar nymph
#

Could have been weird stuff

#

Like I think if vehicles fall off the map they never despawn?

#

So a bunch of those would cause issues

cobalt kettle
#

True, but I really did want to know what drive is theoretically optimal

#

High sequential, or better randoms

lunar nymph
#

IMO for any dedicated it would be random and IOPS

#

Personally I plan on putting a half decent 500gb nvme SSD in my server at some point

#

But I run a framework (AMP) where I run several different servers at the same time.
All being accessed by different people doing tons of random things

#

I would probably run a good HDD for something like backups

cobalt kettle
#

yeah, that was kinda what im looking at, a bunch of random read iops

#

@lunar nymph im probably upgrading to 2697v2's shortly, and just keeping that as my all dedi server server

#

and a p3500 should be more than enough to do that

dapper blaze
#

we had tickrate issues by using too much drones in multiplayer but u6 seems to fixed a lot tickrate issues

lunar nymph
#

That's ivy bridge if I recall

lunar nymph
lunar nymph
cobalt kettle
#

@lunar nymph p3500 does have a DRAM cache, its an intel u.2 enterprise drive

lunar nymph
#

However since it's Intel you should be fine

cobalt kettle
#

thats the only reason im considering it, for 15$ i get 400 gigs and a rated 420k 4k iops on reads

lunar nymph
#

Ahh if it has one

cobalt kettle
#

shit writes, but as a dedi server box, writes don't particularly matter

lunar nymph
#

How will you connect a u.2?

#

Not a popular interface

cobalt kettle
#

ive got both adapters and i think my board has support natively

#

thats not the big deal really

#

and yeah my chips in the plan are ivy-e

#

im currently rocking sandy-e

#

and need a bit of an up for all my dedis

#

i think 2 12 core procs will be more than enough to mess with all my servers at once

lunar nymph
#

It would require a mobo but I would look into Haswell/Broadwell

cobalt kettle
#

i daily haswell-e

#

but ive already got a dual socket sandy/ivy-e server

#

its currently what the dedi is on, just gotta swap in some chips

#

ivy-e is cheaper than lunch in my area

#

ex, i could buy a dual socket ivy-e server with procs ram and psu's for 50$ cash out the door no tax

lunar nymph
#

It might be possible it's a dual socket issue

cobalt kettle
#

it totally might be, but im not worried about the perf right now

#

just wanted to know optimal ssd

lunar nymph
#

One CPU trying access data in the other ones RAM for example

cobalt kettle
#

considering its a 2643 dual socket setup, it runs damn well right now

#

thats what NUMA is for

lunar nymph
#

You're going to be paying power through the nose though

cobalt kettle
#

also a texas advantage

#

my power is dirt cheap

#

i pay like 5c/kwh?

#

ish

#

its up right now because of the energy crysis and summer

lunar nymph
#

I can't really say anything

#

Look what I'm running for a NAS

#

Lol

cobalt kettle
#

dual 2667's

#

dope!

#

i was considering 2667's but i really do want this server workin its ass off on multithreaded stuff down the line

#

so im probably going to get some 97's

lunar nymph
cobalt kettle
#

nice! im currently running a dual socket sandy-e workstation as my server

#

single socket haswell-e daily

#

a HP z620, is the dual socket server

#

im dailying a lenovo p500

lunar nymph
#

I moved my dedicated servers to a Haswell based system a little over a month ago

cobalt kettle
#

i need to (kinda bad) but the ivy-e prices are just so insanely cheap its really hard to up to something over 5-10 times as expensive

lunar nymph
#

I was having crashing issues with the VM Hypervisor on the Ryzen system

cobalt kettle
#

when hardware surrounding that can be better since you saved that much

#

considering doing around a terrabyte of ram on ivy-e because i have some beggar friends with non hedt trying to run deep learning stuff and need more ram

lunar nymph
#

I know you're set on it, but IMO you would be better served (pun intended) with a single socket 2697v3 or v4

#

V4 might be a tad expensive

cobalt kettle
#

well.. sure?

#

but im under 200$ for a terrabyte of ecc ddr3 and dual 2697v3's

#

i physically just cannot get a 2697v3/v4 at that price

lunar nymph
#

Pretty sure you can get the processor for $200

cobalt kettle
#

but then i still have to find a base system. and ram

lunar nymph
#

Can't remember if it's ddr3 or 4

cobalt kettle
#

4 unless you get some weird outlier boards

lunar nymph
#

Yea I think you're right

#

ECC ddr3 is cheap as chips

cobalt kettle
#

But, I am over 350-400 with all costs added up, I get less ram at that

#

I have like 200 gigs already so that's also a boon to ddr3

lunar nymph
#

I can run ALOT of dedicated servers on 64gb just saying

cobalt kettle
#

True, but I'm loaning out that excess ram to friends who do deep learning stuff

lunar nymph
#

Actually my Haswell system only has 16GB

cobalt kettle
#

They have a lot of databases that are slower on their brand new hardware due to not having enough ram

lunar nymph
#

Which has actually become a bit of a problem ...

cobalt kettle
#

But yeah, I'd absolutely go v3/v4 if it was cheap enough

#

And I might actually be going ice lake 3647 if my friend in china can get me his hookup

lunar nymph
#

I've been wanting something on the 1150 platform

cobalt kettle
#

But, the ice lake setup would be running me around 300 for dual socket 18c

#

God bless Chinese es chips

lunar nymph
#

But I'm probably going to end up using my old gaming system as a new dedicated server rig when I upgrade

cobalt kettle
#

That's the plan here, but I haven't updated in like 4-5 years and don't see any reason to

lunar nymph
#

Actually the Haswell system it's running on now was my old gaming system

#

I generally upgrade every 3-4 generations

#

Running a 8700k de-lidded with liquid metal at 5.0GHz

#

32GB RAM

#

250GB Samsung 970evo SSD

#

That should make a pretty beast dedicated server

loud minnow
#

Nicee I gave away my old gaming to one of my friend which he still turns which was a 3770k de-lidded also running at4.8ghz at like 65c lol with my old gtx 1080 with 32gb dominator 1866 ram kit and he still plays games on it

Sorry p106-100 lol

#

I got them both for 100 bucks lol

lunar nymph
#

I got 4 106-90 for $110

#

They are great for Folding at Home

loud minnow
#

Yeah the 90 don’t have enough ram for ETH mining for me

#

Luckily folding doesn't require much VRAM

Hi,
I'm currently troubleshooting a problem with the newest experimental build on a hosted service provider. They installed the latest steam dedicated server version for the experimental branch. The console log shows the Build "++FactoryGame+dev-experimental-CL-188609". But when I try to connect to that server with my experimental client, it tells me there's a mismatch because my client is on Version 194714 instead of 188609.
I can replicate the problem by installing the steam expermintal dedicated server.
BUT when I download the experimental dedicated server from Epic Games, I dont have this problem. Is there anyone experiencing the same problem?

loud minnow
#

She using around 450w

And my main rig with a 3090 mining is using around 500w

Hey I've got a problem with my server, so last night I downloaded the normal experimental game update but when I try updating my server to the latest experimental it always not get's the update that my normal game client is on

i wanna host a server for my friends whom can play anyone anytime without waiting for a player, reason- we friends streamers on youtube, and wanna stream on youtube of satisfactory, we are multiplayer on my world and we enjoyed a lot, and now i am discovering about private server, if someone can help me i will be very much thankful to you.

#

Thanks

meager phoenix
#

if i run a server on my own computer that i play on, would that be "better" than hosting a private game for me and a friend ?

#

preformancewise

remote root
#

Worse

meager phoenix
#

no matter my specs?

remote root
#

Oh you mean hosting it on your own machine

#

That I am not sure of

#

I would guess about the same.

meager phoenix
#

im now hosting a "private" session, im wondering if hosting a dedicated would be better

remote root
#

Dedicated is nice because everything keeps running even when you are not playing. That way your factories keep working and your friends can join,

#

Again though, it will take up a lot of CPU

#

and might be worse

meager phoenix
#

i mean, i am using about 20-25% on my 5950 at playing this game

loud minnow
#

as long as you have the ram i have a 5950x and 128gb and i ran the game and the dedicated server on the same machine and it was fine.... because it wont need any GPU to run the dedi just cpu and ram.. but you just have to have the dedi running in the background

meager phoenix
#

i don't have 128gb ram tho xD

#

only 32

#

i've had 2 providers now .. and they both keep crashing when im playing

#

and they can't give me an answer why

loud minnow
#

i think you will be fine.. the dedi will likely use around 10Gb let say and the game another 8GB at the most so it should be fine

remote root
#

I would just try out both and see for yourself, mileage will vary depending on your machine.

meager phoenix
#

is it hard setting up ?

loud minnow
#

im running my dedi fine on a separate machine with a 3950x and 64gb dominator ram kit and that runs non stop 24/7 so far 250hour + on that save

meager phoenix
#

thats why im wondering why the servers im using (paying for) wont work ... crashed 5 times today

loud minnow
#

i say just try hosting on your machine and see if it works out and if it does than cancel your sub with them

#

if not then try something else

meager phoenix
#

i think i paid 40 buks for the last one now xD and still crashes

loud minnow
#

yeah personally i preferer to own my own hardware and do it myself and all you paying is just to rent a computer pretty much... of course depends on your situation not everyone has an extra pc laying around

meager phoenix
#

is it hard setting up a server? i have no knowledge about that

loud minnow
#

really i though you said you had one running and it was using around 11GB atm

meager phoenix
#

yes that i am renting

loud minnow
#

ohhh so you didnt set it up then???? they set it up for you and you just playing on it i get it

meager phoenix
#

i ordered it and it was setup

#

i joined the ip and started playing and yesterday .. 4-5 crashes, they changed my node (whatever that means ) and it crashed 4-5 times today aswell ..

#

when i contacted online support they just told me to put up a ticket, and that can take what? 8 hours until they answer?

loud minnow
#

and if you cant do it i can host a save for you i live in southern cali so let me know and i can give you ftp access to your save if you want i dont mind and i wont charge you lol

meager phoenix
#

lol, i think california would be a bit to far away tho ? xD but i appreciate that alot !

#

i live in norway

loud minnow
#

yeah i figure i lot of people here are like from the Uk lol

#

or Europe is mostly what i see people are from and now norway lol

#

but earlier someone from Texas was one here so you do see one or two from the US lol

meager phoenix
#

i'm gonna give them an extra chance to fix the issue if not im refunding the server .. and trying to make my own

loud minnow
#

yeah go for it... i mean you can try to run one right now just to see how it runs on your pc but with 32 you should be fine... and just upload your current save using the in-game server manager

meager phoenix
loud minnow
#

yeah

meager phoenix
# loud minnow yeah

yea... that would be an issue cause we have a shitty provider that doenst even wanna give me the pasword to the modem

loud minnow

ohhh i see yeah you would need access to the router at least to be able to open the ports

Has anyone had a similar error when trying to join a server?

It was working fine before and nothing was changed either on the server nor the client.
With the same account, I logged in at the office and got into the server.

I have tried to restart my router, reinstall the game, go to the main branch and then back to experimental branch, restart steam, restart the server, compare client and server build IDs, try with Epic Launcher opened and closed.

These are the server logs: https://pastebin.com/f47ATsBw

On the server machine? Other clients can connect, they're playing now 😃

#

And I just tested on my Steam deck on the same network, got in.

#

Just this machine for some reason 😦

blazing halo
#

Have you tried force-disabling IPv6 on the server?

#

For some reason it's doing internal routing via ::ffff:127.0.0.1. That particular OS might actually support IPv6 properly, and if the server doesn't - that would do it.

#

(or it might not support IPv6 properly, which would also do it)

#

Check in your logs if the other players have the same entries when logging in (being routed via that address). If they don't, that's your culprit.

#

You might also try forcing IPv6 exclusively, I suppose? Theoretically? It all has to do with -multihome= being set to an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

#

@severe nimbus

severe nimbus
#

Thanks! Will try 🙏 🤝 @blazing halo

blazing halo
#

Let us know if it fixed it, ok?

#

I'm curious myself if it will affect the issue, and how.

#

Also, have you tried to temporarily disable the local firewall? On the machine you're having trouble with, as in.

#

If it helps - you probably have a rule you need to kill, or restrict.

#

That's easily testable, however. Shut the server down, and start a basic server on each of the ports (like, a small HTTP server, or even netcat). See if you can reach all three. It should give you an idea on whether you're being blocked on outgoing, for some reason.

#

(I mention a HTTP server, because it'd probably be easiest to test - most of 'em come with some sort of a "default" page you can read, and your client program is the browser)

#

(there are simple HTTP servers that live as a single executable too)

#

This happened in the console and then it restarted the server

#

at the top, when that error appeared in console, I mined sulfur for the first time

#

and the game continued like nothing happened for another 30 seconds

#

then I couldn't pick up anything and was kicked out

#

and it is rebooting

blazing halo
#

^C?

#

Did you abort it?

#

Because otherwise, nothing is jumping out at me.

snow sandal
#

oh and @young sinew is with me*

young sinew
#

Hello @blazing halo , I am with @snow sandal and we did not abort it.

We are running on Ubuntu Server 22.04 via steamCMD. Our satisfactory server runs via systemd so we did not abort the terminal window

blazing halo
#

So that was an aborted tail?

#

(or something to that effect)

young sinew
#

yeah I had left the terminal myself, but hang on I found something interesting

It seems this happens and the server either crashes or just plain old reboots itself.

#

This is happening after the most recent experimental update released yesterday

blazing halo
#

Hm... that would indicate an incomplete game copy, I'd say.

young sinew
#

hmmm

blazing halo
#

Or, a bug in the server itself.

young sinew
#

Do you think that could have happened during an update?

blazing halo
#

The second you can't do anything about, so try shutting the server down and updating the hell out of it.

young sinew
#

I can revert because I take daily snapshots

blazing halo
#

Like, running the update script until all it does is validate (if using validate).

young sinew
#

I gotcha

#

let me run it manually because right now it does a preexecstart and tries to update the game

blazing halo
#

Something I picked up admining ARK, because sometimes an update wouldn't fully download, for some reason.

young sinew
#

interesting, give me just a second I really appreciate it

#

when I turn on the server via systemd it tries to update but let me update manually

blazing halo
#

It's also why I don't auto-update like this, via preexec or otherwise. I have it in my mind that an update could go wrong, and I probably want to be there when it happens.

young sinew
#

well I should have taken a snapshot before updating.....

#

🤪

blazing halo
#

I mean, steamcmd tends to tell you when an update gets botched... but I don't know.

blazing halo
young sinew
#

I do it often...

blazing halo
#

"Oh I probably won't need to rollback this... it's a simple {whatever change}, it'll be fine."

#

... and it crashes badly. :D

young sinew
#

It is the sys admin cowboy in me

#

hahaha

blazing halo
#

Rule #1 - you always forget (or otherwise disregard) a backup the one time it would've mattered.

#

No fkn exceptions.

young sinew
#

Well I wouldn't normally run an experimental build but my dear friend @snow sandal wanted it.... hahaha. Once I get this updated manually and test I will let everyone know on here of the results so if anyone else runs across this maybe I can have a solution

#

@blazing halo I really appreciate the help!

blazing halo
#

Here's hoping it helps.

#

But otherwise... if that doesn't, then it's likely a bug in the server.

young sinew
#

I suspect it is a little bit of both, but I am on experimental so I can't complain 🤗

blazing halo
#

You'd be surprised how many people do.

#

Even on EA, (i.e. stable). I mean - it's an early-access game, of course it's not finished.

young sinew
#

I mean if you are going to play with fire, expect to be burned..... hahahaha

blazing halo
#

(and if we're being honest, Unreal Engine doesn't have a stellar track record, especially when taxed by stuff like mods)

#

(though I suspect it's highly dependent on how much the original devs abuse it to make it do backflips...)

snow sandal
#

It seems like it is a specific place on the map

#

Because a trend in the problem so far is that every time I go to the gorge in the northern forest it causes the issue

#

So I’m gonna try not going there and see if it fixes it

#

Ruled that out

#

went in an opposite direction and it still had the issue

#

another common trend is I have killed a fire spitter every time it crashes

#

pretty close to the crash too

gentle estuary
#

RIP server

#

Not sure what's caused this memory allocation issue, it shouldn't be running out...

loud minnow
gentle estuary
#

Currently 32GB

loud minnow
#

well also depends what other things running in the background but for update 6 you need at least 9Gb free for the server to be able to start up

severe nimbus
snow sandal
#

til we are having this unrelated issue

loud minnow
#

so you will need to give it around 10-12GB for it to run fine

snow sandal
#

we have it on 10 rn

snow sandal
#

in specific areas

#

like I've got it to happen when killing a firespitter next to a slug

#

so weird man

#

I kill firespitter not next to a slug, no problem

young sinew
#

@loud minnow We are running it on a Ubuntu server 22.04 Virtual Machine using Proxmox VE for our host. I have allocated 4 cores, and 10GB of RAM. So about 2GB for OS and 8GB for Satisfactory.

What do you suggest for core allocation and RAM?

#

And I am asking because running this in a VE can make those requirements a little different.

blazing halo
young sinew
#

Yeah, I over allocate for the OS.

#

So maybe turn it up to 12GB total for the VM

blazing halo
#

This might be more informative.

2022-07-08_02_17_59-Window.png
#

(Debian stable)

young sinew
#

I give my OS more RAM because I have other processes running for backups, antivirus, etc…

So cores, do you think 2 cores is enough for max player of two

blazing halo
#

Hm, no clue. I don't really know, and the Wiki doesn't say. The game client requires 4 cores, apparently.

#

All it says for the server is that it fancies single-core performance over the number of available cores. You could try running it with 1... :D

young sinew
#

Hahaha okay sounds good. I was just getting some input. I haven’t hosted many satisfactory servers. So just getting some guidance 👍

blazing halo
#

I wasn't trying to be an asshole or anything (... and wow does that tell you something about me when I remark that that's new...). No need to get defensive. I honestly don't know if you can run it with just 1 core. And I think it's great that you're asking for input and guidance.

Wasn’t taken that way at all! I really appreciate the feedback!

Oh. Okay. :D

Hey guys! I have a server, running in Windows (Server 2022) and it keeps crashing, I think due to RAM. In Event Viewer Application Logs I see it's often out of memory on he game. However, the VM it's in currently has 12GB of RAM allocated, but there is a lot of available memory, but Satisfactory is not using it.

Can I increase the maximum memory allocation for the dedicated server?

#

For example right now I have over 3GB of available RAM, but constantly see the message in event viewer, and the server process is only using ~7700MB.

Is there a way to get this automated truck to stop pushing some sort of skeletal version of itself? It's slowing down its route.

#

I am running in Windows, but it's using more memory for sure. But worse, it's also no seemingly willing to use over about 7700MB, even though the VM it's running in has at least 3GB more available.

There are some spitters here at the north end of the desert that cause a server crash when killed. Anyone experience that before or know a work around besides ignoring them?

severe nimbus
#

@blazing halo That didn't help. But we fixed it. There was some kind of a memory leak or something. So we restarted the server machine. We'll see if it builds up again. But the server ran out of memory, was taking 10GB of RAM already.

#

Though the machine has 64GB of RAM, it doesn't utilize more for some reason.

young sinew
# hexed sky Hey guys! I have a server, running in Windows (Server 2022) and it keeps crashi...

I like to run my Windows Server 2019 and up with a minimum of 4GB of RAM. I know that the minimum requirements is 2GB but for any extra processes you have on that machine I think it is wise to do 4GB base. Specially if you are running the Desktop Experience version.

I say this because as mentioned before if the server wants 10GB and more, then you would want to allocate at least 14GB for a Windows Server instance. Resulting in 4GB for OS and 10GB for Satisfactory.

#

@hexed sky Yeah I read that as well.... but the problem is the reporting you are using for that. What program are you using to report those numbers?
