server-hosting

[silk flame]

Shame, cos that is where it should be

[runic sierra]

maybe if I connect via FPT

[silk flame]

Works for us.

No boot loops.

[runic sierra]

hold on

downloading file zilla

[silk flame]

Np. Whos the best to get hold of around here, so I can bounce some troubleshooting on.

[cedar briar]

It is in there.

[runic sierra]

I mean from their interface in gportal

probably via FPT

connecting now

[cedar briar]

Config/WindowsServer/engine.ini

[runic sierra]

ah yes i have that

my bad

[silk flame]

Yea, that's correct place. Not sure if the capitalisation matters on the file name tho.

[runic sierra]

I do have the EAC lkeys

[cedar briar]

Thing is, pingperfect contacted the devs, and they got it fixed. Gportal still haven't done shit

[silk flame]

Whoo, one issue nailed, now showing in game ❤️ Now just steam to fix.

[runic sierra]

is it fixed?

for pingperfect

I can move host and ask for my money back lol

I don't care

[cedar briar]

Apparently

GTXgaming also has no problems as far as i know

[cedar briar]

We wanted to do that as well, but gportal won't refund or smthing like that? Not too sure

[runic sierra]

Service not delivered, if they won't do that I will through my credit card

and they can go to hell

[silk flame]

All GSP will refund, if within a time limit, most are 24hours.

[runic sierra]

It would be a shame though

[cedar briar]

Fair enough.

[silk flame]

Give them time.

[runic sierra]

As when it actually ran the performances were top notch for a good price

I had nothing to say

[silk flame]

There is a reason you rent servers instead of throwing them up yourself. Sometimes issues like this happens and takes a few to fix.

[runic sierra]

We got a big server release on Saturday evening and expect full house 120/120

Will move host tomorrow if they can't fix it like every other host

[silk flame]

They might not been aware, I was only made aware myself today. Hence doing some overtime lol.

[cedar briar]

Yes, but our problem is that Pingperfect took the initiative to contact the devs and get it fixed. Gportal did not.

[cedar briar]

Oh they've been.

[silk flame]

Wish I was lol, cos this has been embarrassing 😦

[runic sierra]

Regarding gportal

Hi,

we are already aware of the problem and our developers are already working on a solution

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards

5 mins ago

[cedar briar]

The guy i've been talking with to get updates about their ticket with gportal, has been talking with support since update release

Pingperfect fixed it, Gportal did not.

[silk flame]

Are pp the sponsored host tho?

Some of us are lucky if the devs even look at us and say hi, let a lone give us a goto contact for big releases.

[cedar briar]

I have no clue mate. Pp contacted TI devs, and fixed it. Gportal did not and are still "working on a solution"....

[silk flame]

Fair enough, hoping I've fixed my issues for now, excluding the steam one. But hopefully I'll get that sorted soon. But now, I need coffee and feed the kiddos.

The boot loop you're getting btw, what's it say in the logs?

Feel free to DM it. But if it's constant spam in the logs making them Megabytes in size, then it's gotta be that key issue.

[cedar briar]

Lemme see

I'm not sure since i ain't a tech guy, and apparently the support said its a boot loop

But i'll try to find the correct logs

[silk flame]

Np, should be in TheIsle\Saved\Logs\

It'll be the one without a datestamp for your latest.

[cedar briar]

I'll DM you it, since its hella long and would need to send it in parts

[silk flame]

That's fine.

[ionic yarrow]

any clue how to fix the damn loop ?

[magic scaffold]

I saved my Engine.ini and Re-Selected the Evrima command line but my PingPerfect server isn't showing up?

[ionic yarrow]

what do you mean by re-selected the evrima command line ?

[magic scaffold]

@high reef Said

"If you're having issues with your server hosted by Pingperfect.com, please do the following:
Stop server.
Click "Configuration Files"
Click "Config Editor" for Engine.ini, specify an RCon password, then save the file.
Click "Commandline Manager"
Re-select the "Evrima" commandline - this will add the new epic online services commandline parameters.
Startup the server."

It doesn't even show a "Players" counter on the control panel

[ionic yarrow]

what about home based servers ?

[west flare]

We are having the same issue, Aron.

[runic sierra]

So is pingperfect out of the box fixed or not?

[magic scaffold]

That's what I want to know, they obviously did something

But it's still not working it looks like

[west flare]

Our server was up earlier today, but after the restart it stopped showing up and the player count is no longer on the PingPerfect server page.

[magic scaffold]

Wow, this is a mess

[lament ether]

does any1 know how to bring back my G-Portal Server ? He doesnt show up

[merry urchin]

Every time I tried to join my server (Gtx) It said connection issue so I was wondering if this is a server issue or a game issue

[ionic yarrow]

anyone with a Private dedicated server luck fixing the damn loop ?

[merry urchin]

can anyone tell me where the best website/place to go to set me up my own isle server i used to have one like a year ago but had tons of issues on the site so looking for something more reliable this time around ?

[weary terrace]

Not here. I am waiting to see if anyone posts a fix for connecting to the server on the LAN. External users can connect fine, but any other machines on the LAN can not connect to the Evrima server.

[ionic yarrow]

Hey. so far i can't find any solution to the map loop thingy.. my server even wont start :S .. stupid update broke the whole thing. ingame also no favourites selection anymore :S.. what the fudge are they doing.

[weary terrace]

You need to add these two lines to the Engine.ini to get it to boot.

[cedar briar]

Not Gportal, that i can tell you. Pingperfect, GTXgaming or Logicserver

[weary terrace]

But once it boots Only external WAN users can connect.

[ionic yarrow]

thx for the fix :).. ill try it out now

[weary terrace]

[ionic yarrow]

cheers 🙂

[ionic yarrow]

Hooray.. 😅 its running 😄

[merry urchin]

i tried pingperfect cause i used them in the past but says the isle server specifically is out of stock...when i try to purchase a server :/

[cedar briar]

Try GTXgaming or logicserver

[merry urchin]

gtx isn't doing good

[ionic yarrow]

ok. server is working indeed. got already a player 😂

[merry urchin]

That's new.

[ionic yarrow]

i can find my server and connect to it 😄

[cedar briar]

I thought it was working just fine?

[distant minnow]

Is there a new start configuration for the server once it has finished starting up for Evrima?

This is what I got right now.

{
    "done": "Anti cheat Session start result"
}

[ionic yarrow]

thx for the command line 🙂 .. its all working perfectly 😎

[merry urchin]

I'm starting to think that it's more of a game issue than a server issue, because I haven't had issues like that before with gtxgaming

[merry urchin]

im goin with GTX server will it automatically give me a legacy server thats what im wanting not the evirma one ?

[cedar briar]

You can choose most likely

[cedar briar]

For us, its on Gportals side

[merry urchin]

cause im at the checkout thing but it doesnt say anything about which server it is im purchasing just that its an isle server lol

[cedar briar]

let me see

[merry urchin]

okay thanks for all the help 🙂

[slate river]

can someone help with legacy

[cedar briar]

It should give both? Yeah, though you will pay double as far as i see

You can see 2x at the top

as far as i'm concerned it means both evrima and legacy server

[merry urchin]

for GTX it is by default legacy unless you go to mod manager and install evrima

?

[gloomy shoal]

hey so a friend of mine is having an issue with his pingperfect isle server, it won't show up in-game at all and the only fix involves locating and changing a file called "engine.ini", which he can't find anywhere

[cedar briar]

@merry urchin there is the answer

[merry urchin]

so i got my server all setup and everything it says its running but when i hit join from the GTX page is says server not responding and when i type the server name in the search on the isle i cant find it either? but on one end says its running like where i can hit stop and restart, then when i click join on connection info it says server not responding.

[cedar briar]

Are u trying legacy or evrima?

[merry urchin]

i have it set i guess default as legacy i never selected in the settings to do evirma

[cedar briar]

Which version of TI u have downloaded?

[merry urchin]

only thing i went in and did wa set the admins and change the server name so far

ive got legacy installed

[cedar briar]

N it doesn't show up in the server list?

[merry urchin]

no when i go into the actual game and search my server name is says no servers found

and on the gtx connection info it also says server not responding

even tho server status says running

i made sure i was typing the name in correct as well

now its showing up 😄

[cedar briar]

That's great 😁

[merry urchin]

thanks again for all the help 🙂

[gloomy shoal]

any help would be appreciated

[sacred compass]

cant fking connect to eu1

[cedar briar]

He should contact pp support

It was supposedly fixed before, but it happened again. The only thing he can do is contact support

[lament ether]

any1 have his gportal server fixed?

[gloomy shoal]

alr I'll let him know

[cedar briar]

No, and we can't either. You need to wait till Gportal sorts the issue out. Its a problem on their side

[runic sierra]

Anyone can confirm GTX works fine without any funky manips?

If gportal is not fixed tomorrow afternoon I pull the plug

[past dagger]

The server listings aren't showing the correct population. They are full. Just gotta keep trying to get in until an open slot is opened.

[merry urchin]

I have a gtx server and currently cant even connect to it I'm getting a connection failed message. I contacted support and so far everything they have tried hasn't worked

[runic sierra]

So basically 3rd party host works lol

Can you try connecting to Scope's server?

it's hosted on GTX also

[merry urchin]

Yeah I can try

[runic sierra]

thx

[merry urchin]

I'm able to connect

[runic sierra]

interesting loll

Is your server a new one out of the box

or did you play around in configs?

[merry urchin]

Ive had it up for about a week

Only configs I touched was admin steam ID and server name

[violet marsh]

The unable to find it is because they switched from using Steam networking to using Epic Online Services. This has the benefit of we can now see our servers over WAN (the server browser) but for some reason they don't let us connect to them this way. Based on my research from a similar situation with another game, if we were able to somehow join through the local address it would work just like it used to, however the Isle currently lacks a direct IP connection function so it's not currently possible.

[slate solar]

does anyone know how to link a discord server link to the server for evrima? (we are using linux)

[magic scaffold]

Are PingPerfect servers working at all?

[weary terrace]

Yes, I would love if they would have a direct IP:Port entry in the games menu.

[buoyant nexus]

ICMP port ?

[runic sierra]

From what I have heard no

Don't quote me on this

[jagged vortex]

Hey, what to do to make the server on evrim work?

[magic scaffold]

Damn damn damn, alright, I'm filing a support ticket

Looks like they're still working on it

[merry urchin]

oh?

[nova orchid]

Fixed main menu URL's not working.

Does its mean that discord link works?

[buoyant nexus]

https://youtu.be/lpx-KMov0FM

suppose to go that crazy?

[cedar briar]

They worked for a short while.

[slender tusk]

i got this error repeating million times

any help?

[merry urchin]

Yeah the server is on, but it kicks everyone out with this error message

[unreal hull]

Anyone knows to fix this [2022.07.14-17.48.54:096][ 0]LogOnlineVoice: OSS: Voice interface disabled by config [OnlineSubsystem].bHasVoiceEnabled

[runic sierra]

It's not like the server list ever worked fine. I had a server if the name had more than x chars it would stop showing up lol

[slate river]

day 1 of quoting this message until someone helps me with the legacy server

[runic sierra]

For gportal support staff the devs are mysterious creatures you can't ask any ETA from

[nova orchid]

In a france forum from 2019 stand" reset graphic card"

[slate river]

what

[muted cairn]

its a community platform that gives away servers for free

or you build the server yourself or you buy one there are so many possibilities 😄

[slender tusk]

<@&818552355796287508>

[versed bay]

Does anyone here have their own Vm where they run the server off of?

[distant minnow]

What values in this wiki still apply to evrima servers?

https://isle.fandom.com/wiki/The_Isle_Server_Settings_and_Configuration#Game.ini

[violet marsh]

Considering that it was last updated February of 2020, probably none. Just use the doc in the pinned messages here, it's the most "official" source currently

[prisma grotto]

In Update 5, if your server shows a ping of 444 or -1,000 you need to open up the ICMP port.

What is the ICMP port and how do we find it? And is this for players to open or is this server side/host side that needs to open it?

[distant minnow]

RIP so there's essentially no documented config variables for servers rn except what they gave.

[ocean swallow]

Does pingperfect hosted servers function or they still need a patch from the devs?

[violet marsh]

There's these but from my testing the ones with red dots next to them have either been removed or change nothing noticeable. And then of course update 5 added the RCon ones but that's about all there is that we've been told about

[distant minnow]

Yeah, I've seen those. Was hoping I could tweak some spawn rates and stuff.

[violet marsh]

Anything that you can tweak server wise currently is through the admin panel in-game, but those changes don't persist past a server restart yet

@bronze skySame error as me "DEDICATED SERVER"

[bronze sky]

mhhh

maybe port or firewall issue?

[slate solar]

is there any way to add a discord link to the server so that people can join that instead of having to post announcements over and over?

[wise garnet]

Yeah, the documentation is really poor. Even a lot of the stuff listed for legacy servers has apparently been deprecated at some point, but other than comments in this discord, that information is nowhere to be found

[woeful marsh]

how do i join my own server its working for people outside my wifi but where do i enter my servers local ip to join

[violet marsh]

If you're meaning for Evrima currently me and others are also experiencing this issue and since they switched to Epic Online Services instead of Steam's networking, there's currently no way of doing it that we're aware.

[merry urchin]

anyone know how i can buy a evirma unofficial server?

i am assuming that there is no fix for the ports for ping perfect yet

[slow root]

Yes they work

[surreal coral]

if someobdy finds a fix for this one ping me, im also having the issue

[buoyant nexus]

Evrima's local network does not work I have a spare connection when I go to if I want to play on my own evrima server.

[buoyant nexus]

Rent maybe I don't think buy

[trail crypt]

with the new update i am having troubles setting up my server. I added the 2 lines that the dev said to add to engine file, but as soon as i try to add admin power with steam IDs or change the name of server it completly dissapears from the client. I am using G PORTAL as a host for my server. anyone have the same issue and if so were u able to solve it ? any help would be much appreciated

[tiny agate]

So when I create Evrima Server I have to create the WindowsServer folder and I only have the Game.ini in the folder where do all the other ini files come from? I don't have an Engine ini

[versed bay]

Anyone know why there may be this issue? when joining my server users enter a loading screen and after 2 minutes users observe a black screen, the black screen is a softlock and users will not be disconnected and will have to restart their game.
Server logs when this happens will log "LogGarbage" and loops until the user closes the game.

[rocky ravine]

same

[lament ether]

Any news for GPortal my Server is still not showing up

[trail crypt]

I reseted mine yesterday and it worked but as soon as i added admins or changed server name its gone again

hit me up if u get it working properly

[lament ether]

Ouf

[trail crypt]

did they update their servers ?

[buoyant nexus]

https://gyazo.com/3d06875508cb682dbe1d750646758d86 <@&818552355796287508> those errors normal ?

[runic sierra]

gportal is screwed

And their customer support is fast but a joke "the devs I are on it we don't know anything" essentially

[runic sierra]

I spoke with gtxgaming and pingperfect. The issue is on Isle devs side but they both got quickly a work around until it's patched

don't know what gportal is doing

[trail crypt]

thanks pouti much obliged !

[bronze sky]

can you share the workaround?

[runic sierra]

you think they will tell that to anyone ?

[bronze sky]

i dont know thats why I ask as a costumer

because me and others here are facing this issue

[runic sierra]

I am a gportal customer aswell until this afternoon if not resolved on their end. My point was gtxgaming will not share the "work around" that they found as it currently gives them a competitive advantage and they know it, obviously

[bronze sky]

Thanks but it will not be needed. I found the solution by myself.

The solution is already shared: #announcements message

[cedar briar]

It sure is, the owner got his money back thru paypal and made a server on gtxgaming meanwhile we set up a vps

[runic sierra]

That's not the so called work around for 3rd party hosters. They already have these values in the .ini file

[cedar briar]

Gportal sucks

[runic sierra]

Oh I gave them an ultimatum aswell. If they decide to keep my money I will revert the charges through mastercard for non rendered service. They have until this afternoon

[runic sierra]

To be fair I ran a 120/120 server with them on update 4 and the performances were flawless. So It would be a shame to just pull the plug over this

[cedar briar]

Fair enough. We are just glad we managed to get the server up and it works for everyone. Though its only temp, since we would want a vps set up

[runic sierra]

And customer service is usually fast

[cedar briar]

Our server crashed when we generated a couple tens of bodies 💀

[runic sierra]

when?

[cedar briar]

Before u5 was released

And we had thr server on gportal

We had some fights for fun, generated a couple tens of bodies, then the server ultimately crashed

[trail crypt]

this doesnt work for g portal

[cedar briar]

it doesn't work with them because its supposedly something on their end which they need to fix. But they are quite slow with that

We were thinking of getting one thru Vultr

[trail crypt]

indeed they are slow thanks for all the info btw 🙂

[runic sierra]

Yes and no, according even to gtx the devs screwed up something and they got a temporary solution while waiting on an actual fix

Ping perfect said the same

[cedar briar]

Aha. Well, we are glad as long as we got the server up and running for the month 🙂

[runic sierra]

with gportal? I'm pulling out the plug in 2.5h lol

[cedar briar]

Not with Gportal, we put up a server with GTXgaming

For the month

[runic sierra]

Good choice @versed bay did the same

waiting to hear his feedback performance wise

[cedar briar]

The server is running just fine currently, though he said its always possible to upgrade if it can't handle it

[bronze sky]

is your server showing up in the unoffical server list? Searching is still broken it seems

[chrome barn]

Any body having trouble having more than 100 slots on there server

We played a night of 120 players with some lag but pretty playable with max u0grades on gtx

[runic sierra]

About gportal

We fixed a few servers but are still testing if this works on all servers so unfortunately not fully fixed now.

So do you wish for a refund right now then i will do it

[runic sierra]

But i cant say if this works or how long it takes so just let us know when you cant wait anymore then we will refund you.```

[trail crypt]

thanks for info pouti !

[buoyant nexus]

https://gyazo.com/21b67460c8c5aa1d4fbd2c40af4d6c57 any help ?

[bronze sky]

Okay. Hi guys again. i setup the server with correct ini files etc - added my static public ipv4 as MultiHome and when the server starts there are no errors. I added all the ports (7777,7778, 27015-27017 as UDP and TCP) to my firewall. Ports are free on my provider. Can ping my server. Any ideas why i cant see the server in steam serverlist or ingame in the server list?

[buoyant nexus]

its windows server 2022

[bronze sky]

evrima

[prisma grotto]

We use PingPerfect! Thank you!

[rigid jungle]

Someone help me?

legacy for example works on that port and query when i configure to test

[buoyant nexus]

we all have that issue

[bronze sky]

ports are not open

check

[signal estuary]

just managed to fix this problem for myself

in your bat file, change your line to this:
start /wait C:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\TheIsleDedicatedServer\TheIsleServer.exe ?IP=YOUR IP HERE?Port=7777?QueryPort=7778 -log | set /P "="

removing the multihome seemed to solve it ^^

[bronze sky]

what is the parameter "IP" used for?

[signal estuary]

MultiHome gives errors so assumed IP would be for a single IP

and avast, it worked, no errors and servers online and works

[bronze sky]

In my config file (TheIsle/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Game.ini) i setup to use SQLite as Dabase:
DatabaseType=SQLite
DatabaseHost=127.0.0.1
DatabasePort=3306
DatabaseUser=root
DatabasePass=test

But it always creates a folder (\TheIsle\Saved\PlayerData) and not Databases.
Any ideas?

[bronze sky]

i think IP is not used?

[signal estuary]

works for me

[bronze sky]

can you remove IP=xxx and try again?

[signal estuary]

i'll test

yeah can confirm, there needs not be any parameter for the IP address

[hoary cave]

You can override the queue and rcon ports by these settings

bQueueEnabled=true (This will be changed to QueueEnabled in v0.9.85.83)
QueuePort=10001

[/Script/Engine.Game]
RconEnabled=true
RconPassword=Password
RconPort=8889 ```
in Game.ini

[hoary cave]

Check what I posted above, it should help.

[bronze sky]

any ideas here?

will there be mysql possability with the next patch?

[lament ether]

any news on Gportal?

[lament ether]

does pingperfect work?

[buoyant nexus]

Will that fix the ip issue?

[ionic yarrow]

Hey. im trying out a the isle discord bot.. but it needs player database folder.. is that possible with Evrima ?

[buoyant nexus]

Think legacy I'm not sure tbh

[ionic yarrow]

so not possible with Evrima ?

[lament ether]

I added it and the server goes online but resets the Name and when i change the name server goes back offline

[buoyant nexus]

Alot of us.. Have an issue where our servers won't show in game or on steam server list any help?

[golden flare]

Read the posts, it works with no issues, if you just do what they've written

[lament ether]

i did and nothing is working

[buoyant nexus]

Lol just not just me....

[buoyant nexus]

If you don't host or struggle with it rather don't reply like that

[golden flare]

I host myself, also made scripts and eggs that work completely fine.

Both for evrima and legacy i might add.

[lament ether]

where do u host?

[buoyant nexus]

I'm glad yours work but like I said it not just mine that doesn't work so that's the point...

[lament ether]

Does Pingperfect works?

[buoyant nexus]

Probably through someone and not on his own from scratch

[golden flare]

I host through my own pterodactyl panel that i host on my own server

[buoyant nexus]

Then I'm happy for you.

[golden flare]

Also several other users also use my eggs and works fine

[golden flare]

So throw all the shit you'd like, but its nothing wrong with the server files or the setup. And keep this up, sure someone will help you out lmao

[lament ether]

Does Pingperfect works? or not? xD

[buoyant nexus]

Dude I'm not arguing with you it's a server hosting channel if you don't have something to say that will help I'd prefer if you not to reply to my messages thank you.

[buoyant nexus]

I read earlier that they sorted a few servers out but still working on it so I'm not 100% sure

[golden flare]

All I'm saying is look at the other 100 posts about this excact thing, setup a server from scratch with the new info, and if you want more help, post a log file..

[thorny cove]

Not sure if it's me or not but I keep getting this error setting up evrima server

No clue, I just followed the google doc tutorial in pins

ah

any idea how to make an evrima server ?

apologies for asking but wheres that

[kindred tartan]

I'm pretty sure we do but you can always find out yourself by ordering a trial

[muted cairn]

Legacy and Evrima work from Enozi! Since mygameplatform.com also provides these free of charge for users

[thorny cove]

where is the engine ini ?

[golden flare]

Should be in the config folder along with config.ini

[thorny cove]

there is uh

none

only the game ini

[cosmic oak]

Under "/TheIsle/Saved/Config/[Servertype]/engine.ini" where your dedicated server is installed.

Server type will either be LinuxServer or WindowsServer

oops wrong reply, sorry.

[golden flare]

Np

[golden flare]

Not 100% sure if they get generated after install or after first few boots

[thorny cove]

I checked all folders and theres no engine.ini

[cosmic oak]

I did notice that the windows server has issues with getting the files there. Linux one has em apparently.

[thorny cove]

do i just,, make an engine ini?

i only have game ini atm

[cosmic oak]

I dunno, and I dont think they're transferrable between Windows and Linux

[thorny cove]

then how do i make an evrima server bruh

The tutorial is outdated

i did, still getting same errors

[ionic yarrow]

the URL is that query port or game port ?

[thorny cove]

is there any tutorials to set up an evrima server that ISNT outdated, because this is frustrating.

[slate river]

day 2 of quoting this message until someone helps me with the legacy server

[golden flare]

Why that weird startup command and not just the default?

[slate river]

wdym

[wise garnet]

I agree, I spent a lot of time figuring it out for both EVRIMA and Legacy, the documentation is poor. But I sorted it out eventually for the templates I was writing for AMP (a server management panel)

[golden flare]

im trying to run a legacy sandbox deathmatch server, i'm pretty sure i did everything right, the command prompt window doesnt look sussy and yet the server is not showing up. any help please?

my batch file is
@echo off
cls
echo Protecting Isle server from crashes...
title Isle Server
:TheIsle
echo (%time%) Isle server started.
start /wait D:\TheIsleServer\TheIsleServer.exe /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Developer/DV_TestLevel?MaxPlayers=50?game=Sandbox?MultiHome=(censored)?Port=7777?QueryPort=7778?Listen?insecure?Mods= -log -NOSTEAM | set /P "="
echo (%time%) WARNING: Isle server crashed or closed, restarting in 15 seconds.
timeout /t 15
goto TheIsle
-listen

That marked part is way off the default one

[golden flare]

This is the default start /wait C:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\TheIsleDedicatedServer\TheIsleServer.exe MultiHome=your public ip address?Port=7777?QueryPort=7778 -log | set /P "="

[slate river]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[golden flare]

AMP, Is that Windows or Linux?

[slate river]

dont i need to

specify the map

[golden flare]

Oh mb il find the correct one, I'm on phone atm 😅 1 sec

[golden flare]

start C:\TheIsleServer\TheIsleServer.exe /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Landscape3/Isle_V3?MultiHome=12.345.67.890?Port=7777?QueryPort=7778?MaxPlayers=100?game=Survival -log

That's the default one for legacy

[wise garnet]

Both. ofc Legacy servers only run on Windows, but EVRIMA runs on both

[golden flare]

I've made legacy work on Linux ^^

[wise garnet]

Yeah, I’ve not got around to configuring Wine. Think it needs winetricks?

[golden flare]

I just played around with wine

Made an egg for pterodactyl

[wise garnet]

Cool, I will check it out. Might give me ideas xD

[golden flare]

Just dm me if you want some help 👍

[bronze sky]

So im still facing the issue that my server is not listed in the server list. When i check open ports it says 8888 and 10000 are open but not 7777 and 7778 but i opened all ports TCP and UDP. Any Ideas?

but they are only open as long the server runs

[merry urchin]

does anyone know a good website to buy a unofficial server?

[buoyant nexus]

lucky you i port fowarded and on fire wall and still shows closed

[cedar briar]

Anyone that has GTX gaming knows how to allow others to view logs?

[twilit pollen]

I have a friend hosting a server on GPortal but the server isn't showing up. Anyone know how to make it show up?

[cedar briar]

Make a support ticket

[merry urchin]

Gportal is still down.

[deft egret]

Error: LoadMap: failed to Listen(/Game/TheIsle/Maps/TitleMap?closed)

anyone ever seen this issue?

[bronze sky]

ok port is open but not showing in serverlist

[runic sierra]

Switch to gtx seriously

I did

[lament ether]

Same

[buoyant nexus]

i port fowarded and still get this error https://gyazo.com/81b67a323bdf617223c915e7e00fd851

[bronze sky]

Use parameters like this:
start /wait C:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\TheIsleDedicatedServer\TheIsleServer.exe -MultiHome=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -Port=7777 -QueryPort=7778 -log | set /P "="
But I`d suggest to move Port & QueryPort (if still used from TheIsle???) to Engine.ini and remove from code

Engine.ini (TheIsle\Saved\Config\WindowsServer)
`[URL]
Port=7777
QueryPort=7778

[EpicOnlineServices]
DedicatedServerClientId=xyza7891gk5PRo3J7G9puCJGFJjmEguW
DedicatedServerClientSecret=pKWl6t5i9NJK8gTpVlAxzENZ65P8hYzodV8Dqe5Rlc8`

If console start floating like a waterfall
-stop server
-change multihome ip to 127.0.0.1
start again and check if no errors
if no errors and not running crazy you can try by removing parameter multihome and start again for auto wire

[merry urchin]

Lmao

[runic sierra]

I migrated over to GTX, had my server up and running within 10 minutes. You can join their discord and bypass the support ticket system (to which they reply within minutes anyway) and talk directly with the support staff. I run my own Node.js discord bot on my server which allows me to do stuff like generating diagrams of gender & species distribution, heatmaps of recent activity, kill feed etc... My Node.js app had troubles connecting to the FTP and we troubleshooted it for like 3 hours together on discord. The guy went above and beyond. Now it's working fine again. Gportal basically told me "our guys are gone for the weekend, go f*** yourself... but politely"

[merry urchin]

Waaaat

[runic sierra]

Their interface is looks like crap however but I would define it as "functional"

Screw gportal

[merry urchin]

Yeah I’m super frustrated w Gportal.

[runic sierra]

pull the plug

Ask for a full refund, they didn't deliver the service you paid for

[merry urchin]

Alr mate

You right

[runic sierra]

if they refuse contest the transaction on paypal or directly with your credit card (depending on how you paid)

If they hesitate threaten to cancel the credit card lol

[merry urchin]

I have no prob w doing that😂😂 I’m just super pissed I got nothing but BS replies

[runic sierra]

They fully refunded my server without issues

The problem is the support staff has no idea what is happening

it's a call center

they devs are behind a glass window with a sign that says "Don't tap the window"

GTX I was actually talking directly with a developer

which speeds up the process and you don't get bullshit answers

[merry urchin]

Yeah this whole thing is stupid as hell

[runic sierra]

Well when big patch drops it's normal that some things temporarily go wrong

however I know for a fact that The Isle devs offered personal support to gportal devs and they refused

That should tell you enough

[bronze sky]

is it your selfmade bot? Im interested

[runic sierra]

Yes I'm a lead dev IRL, it's my pet project

Come check it out tonight at 7pm CET then 🙂

https://youtu.be/92D_8UdSj80

Hopefully it will hold up to 5.0 server logs. I didn't have to occasion to test as much since it happened very fast

and I got it working with v5.0 again last night

But I'm confident

We expect a lot of people as soon as it come online, for update 4 we did 120/120 everyone starting as a baby at the same time. Crazy fun! Also a bloodbath

[merry urchin]

is there anyone knowing whats causing the negative ping? on my server on the overview of the game servers it shows a ping of -1000 😂

[runic sierra]

I meant gportal who told me to go to hell not gtx 😅

[merry urchin]

i understood lol!

[runic sierra]

Well looks like I'm getting an affiliate link soon with them 😂

Let me know if you want 10% off when you order your server

Oh oky I understand

[bronze sky]

and the ingame search is broken

[lime moon]

hey pls, the RCON don't work, i have this like warning

[fleet horizon]

Hi
Does anyone know what could be the problem ?

[lime moon]

There are no problem it's normal

[golden flare]

Rcon works, what ports do you use

[golden flare]

All this warning means is that you haven't authenticated with a password yet, have you done that ?

[lime moon]

Yes I have do

[lime moon]

I used the site "Online RCON console for game servers" the connection works but I still have this warning

[golden flare]

Never used that site so not sure if that works or not

[lime moon]

I make the command like "get player list" and I have a warning"Malformed Rcon api response"

[surreal coral]

This issue is you are missing the engine.ini next to the game.ini in the "windowserver" folder. I can send you my engine.ini if you'd like

[dense sonnet]

Im having the same issue, if you wouldn't mind haha

[surreal coral]

So if you followed that google doc to make your server, here are the additional steps you need to make.

step 1: Make an "engine.ini" in the windowserver folder next to your "game.ini"
step 2: add these two lines at the very bottom of your Server_Start.bat (under where it says "goto TheIsle"
-ini:Engine:[EpicOnlineServices]:DedicatedServerClientId=xyza7891gk5PRo3J7G9puCJGFJjmEguW
-ini:Engine:[EpicOnlineServices]:DedicatedServerClientSecret=pKWl6t5i9NJK8gTpVlAxzENZ65P8hYzodV8Dqe5Rlc8

Thats what fixed it for me.

[late fog]

Anyone want to help me with opening our ICMP port for our ping correction? Not to sure how to do that.

[merry urchin]

Is there a way to store players in mysql database and not in json?

[wise garnet]

It’s not a port as such, it is just allowing ICMPv4 message type 8 (echo request) inbound

[late fog]

Ahh thank you. We'll check on that!

[runic sierra]

Was there a new patch deployed to help with ping issues or is it just on officials yet?

[grand quail]

Hello,
I am developing an API for managing my evrima server with the RCON protocol, except that it is not possible for me to authenticate myself. I am using nodejs rcon-srcds package. Has anyone here ever used rcon with an existing package?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

[bronze sky]

i hope they add some functions to work with the dino of a player itself

[golden flare]

You need to send the packages as actual hex code or it won't work

[grand quail]

Ok, so I will create my own package for the RCON connection

Data recovery by Query is no longer functional?

[bronze sky]

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_RCON_Protocol

just use a lib

[grand quail]

Ok, thanks, I will make my own package for this

[grand quail]

Same for me

[indigo willow]

Yes

[buoyant nexus]

guys so got my server to work eventually but there is showing 2 instances of it while i only have 1 running https://gyazo.com/f59c25a36a7df02c54a8040167f049b5

[indigo willow]

What kind of mods? I'd love to increase the AI spawning on my server

[stoic wedge]

I'm trying to self host a server since a while but I can't get it to work, I'm getting my console keeps rolling with these two errors particularly

LogNet: Error: UEngine::BroadcastNetworkFailure: FailureType = NetDriverListenFailure, ErrorString = , Driver = GameNetDriver EOSNetDriver_2147036737

LogNet: Error: LoadMap: failed to Listen(/Game/TheIsle/Maps/TitleMap?closed)

It won't start, can't see it in lan and neither on steam server list, I port forwarded correctly and followed the addition of the lines in Engine.ini and the start server batch file

[late fog]

For Evrima can someone give me a rundown on A-AI and S-AI. I'm assuming A is active AI within render distance of players, then S-AI that is not rendered?

[storm light]

Hi! can someone give me the working link for set up the server for evrima? the actual in the steam discussion gives me an error

[hollow fiber]

Can someone send me something for a server set up? Or something that can get me through the basics? Tried looking and every link I tried was no longer available.

[quick flare]

What cpu and ram specs are doing well with hosting?

[rich juniper]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n2lxKdZTDi42H-1j0zQQPoghmqrp2KuQffD99RXNYcs/edit

[rich juniper]

I use the i5-2400 and 4x 4GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM, and it works just fine for me.

I'm using pretty old RAM tho.

[quick flare]

Wow how many players does that support

And is that legacy or evrima

[rich juniper]

I did it on Legacy

and it couldn't stress test it, how many Hosts I can use without lags

[quick flare]

I was worried my dual x5650 machine wouldn't be enough

Sounds like it might work well

[muted cairn]

evrima and legacy are supported here

[trail crypt]

any news from g portal, my server still aint showing up

[stoic wedge]

unfortunately as I mentioned it doesn't work even if I added these two lines to the engine.ini for some reason

[stoic wedge]

not sure about the ports either, I am quite used to port forward for servers

[trim pier]

may i interrupt 👀

i got a server by gportal. but since the update i cant find my server anymore. autoupdates are on 😮

[golden flare]

make a ticket at gportal, its a issue they have to fix

[golden flare]

You've also added it in the startup command?

[stoic wedge]

yup

[golden flare]

what does your startup command look like

[stoic wedge]

let me copy paste it

@echo off
cls
goto TheIsle

:TheIsle

goto TheIsle```

try with that

[stoic wedge]

still rolling

[golden flare]

i assume you removed ip and port, but that should ofc also be in the script, at least the -Port

[stoic wedge]

yeah

not sure why it's acting like this

[golden flare]

still not working ?

[stoic wedge]

nope

still won't work

[golden flare]

Just doesnt show up in serverlist or ?

[weary terrace]

Anyone find a resolution yet of not being able to connect to a Evrima server on a LAN? People can connect from the internet but local machines on the local area network can not connect to the server.

I tried to connect to bothe the LAN IP and the external IP neither connect. It worked fine before the patch.

[stoic wedge]

the console keeps rolling, I can't find the server on steam and in the lan tab either

[golden flare]

dm me your full startup command

[merry scroll]

Please help me, I get this

[loud lynx]

anyone else can't teleport with spectator mode?

[merry scroll]

hello friend, I ran into the same problem when starting the server, please tell me have you solved it?

[grand quail]

Hello,
Data recovery by Query is no longer functional (evrima)?

[golden flare]

Query no longer works no as they use EOS now

[grand quail]

Ok, and how do we configure it?

[stoic wedge]

unfortunately, not yet, still investigating thx to the help of Enozi

[heavy cypress]

hello i rented a server from gportal but it doesnt show up in the unofficial list can someone help?

[golden flare]

contact gportal, they have some issues with the latest update

[heavy cypress]

thank you

[heavy cypress]

Oh boy theyre not answering for now i guess is there another better way to rent a server?

[runic sierra]

anyone who runs an actual full server also runs into big issues with ping and the only solution is restarting?

I didn't have this issue with update 4 when running a 120/120 server

now after a few hours it usually starts going down the drain ping wise

[cosmic oak]

Edit your engine.ini to say the following, at the bottom of the file:

[URL]
Port=7779
QueryPort=7777

[EpicOnlineServices]
DedicatedServerClientId=xyza7891gk5PRo3J7G9puCJGFJjmEguW
DedicatedServerClientSecret=pKWl6t5i9NJK8gTpVlAxzENZ65P8hYzodV8Dqe5Rlc8

Change the port numbers to your preference.

[cosmic oak]

Almost forgot. Lose the port commands in your commandline for the server. With this your commandline can be '-log' and that's it.

[runic sierra]

That's from the .log files?

I will try to have a look next time that I notice it

[thin mountain]

Is there a special RCON lib I need to use? I'm using this https://github.com/coNQP/rcon python shell but I am getting authentication error specifically "Unauthenticated RCON connection tried sending commands". The port has been configured in game.ini [/Script/Engine.Game] and port forward correctly.

[golden flare]

Do you authenticate?

[thin mountain]

It doesn't show up in the log establishing any connection so I would assume I am not.

[golden flare]

Well, you gotta authenticate first, then you can send commands

[thin mountain]

Ok and when I first connect I use the rcon port? Or what is the query port? Is that different from the one specified in command line ex 7778 port for the server.

[golden flare]

query port is not a thing anymore

you just use the rcon port

[thin mountain]

alright so I how do I authenticate? in the shell its asking for host, port, and password. Under assumption that would authenticate like ssh or telnet or w.e

n/m let me try you look into the python script! I might need to edit that before running the shell.

[golden flare]

idk i wrote my own rcon tool into my discord bot

[merry scroll]

Bro, I adore you, thank you for your help, but could you help with another mistake?😊

[cosmic oak]

Yup.

[merry scroll]

OK, but I can't go in

Sorry for the stupidity, it's my first time

😅

[thin mountain]

Yeah I've tried multiple rcon clients and it doesn't authenticate. So either the way the script is written in these clients are incompatible. Is rcon handshaking authentication that different from client to client? It would be great if someone in the community could share whatever rcon client there using that we could grab from github or w.e I've done a search on this discord and google and there is not much I could find! I though rcon was pretty standard. I have the correct ports because it shows its connecting.

[golden flare]

I spent about 3 days with trial and error, but i ended up just integrating it into my discord bot. It's hex based so you need to send hex to the client through the rcon port. Password also has to be converted into hex, as well as any other messages or such you want to send

[thin mountain]

Oh wow didn't know the password had to be "hex". That's probably why on the auth issues! Thanks!

[steep pier]

Can anyone explain the magic that happens with the RAM the server is using?
I am attaching screenshots of two different servers. On the first the use of RAM (green line) has dropped to 3 GB and ping is stable, on the second it's vice versa.

[golden flare]

if i got time the next few days, i can rewrite the bot a tiny bit and make it public

[golden flare]

i'll pm you

[steep pier]

Whole 5 gbs? And why it's only with the first server?

[versed bay]

Anyone know what this means?

[runic sierra]

I noticed the exact same thing on my server when everything starts lagging out

we play between 100 and 120 players

usually it runs smooth for like 1-2 hours

then it turns to crap

until a restart happens

[steep pier]

Lags.

[versed bay]

What do you mean? So it just means the server is spiking it's not the reason for the spike?

[steep pier]

Yeah.

https://tenor.com/view/jetstream-sam-true-metal-gear-rising-gif-24875505

[versed bay]

Could being in admin mode affect that?

[surreal coral]

Can't connect to a server hosted off your local network. I got around this by connecting to a VPN
(I have a separate computer for hosting stuff)

[runic sierra]

We did notice that when going into admin mode the ping really jump

And lowers back when exiting

Talking like 100+ ping while in admin mode on a server with 120 players

@versed bay saw the same thing on his server

[versed bay]

Yeah

[weary terrace]

True, but you could use Steams Favorite Server list from within the Games Menu to connect to a internal IP address. Now that the game no longer uses Steam, and Steam can no longer connect to the internal IP you can no longer connect to a server on a LAN IP address. There has to be some kind of fix to let people on the same network as the server connect to the server.

[lime moon]

it happens when a player spawns but there is a problem when he spawns, but he recovers right after, it must be for the devs

[merry urchin]

someone knows how i can make my server show up am hosting gportal?
and i got the code actually it should be fine right?

[last owl]

Hello, I am trying to bring up a Evrima server and the server shows that its already up but I'm trying to join and the server isn't showing up on the server list as well as steam direct connection just pops up a separate window from steam, I would honestly appreciate any help or advice!

[last owl]

same, I need help as well!

[fading grotto]

I'm trying to host too. It says it can't serialize my ip with port stuff. It launches the map though

[last owl]

Yea, I finally got it to work!

[fading grotto]

What did you do to fix it?

[last owl]

I deleted the one I had, added a new server which was made for Evrima, and then I basicallyed added the blue box highlighted in in engine ini and then repaired so it can restart the server, waited like 5 minutes, and then restarted it, and then it worked! just gotta rename and add ur admins

[fading grotto]

What folder is the engine.ini file in?

[last owl]

go to the configuration files and then click the "select file" which will show you motd, engine and game. You want to go into the engine.ini

[fading grotto]

Are you hosting this on your own machine or a server hosting service?

[last owl]

G portal o: so maybe its DIFFERENT, so I assumed because you answered me D:

[fading grotto]

It's only different because I have to dig through file folders where G portal probably streamlines it for the users

[last owl]

yea, then Im no help, sorry! someone here might hopefully come to your aid!

[fading grotto]

No you're all good. You did help a bit

@last owl Is there any more stuff in your Engine.ini file or is that it?

[last owl]

it will show you either 1 or 2 ports

[fading grotto]

What do you mean?

[last owl]

for us, it shows us 2 ports

[fading grotto]

My friend tried to connect to my server and it gave this error:

[weary terrace]

I am not quite sure what you are trying to say here. Is there a way for a local machine on the local network to connect or isn't there? I understand there needs to be a way to input the local IP directly to be able to connect. But I know of no way in The Isle Evirma to do this currently.

[thick kindle]

why my screen go black every time i try to host?

[silver obsidian]

Many greetings! I've encountered a problem setting up an Evrima server: The infinite scrolling log. Naturally I've tried all the different launch options I've seen posted here, but not much has changed. It says something about network failure which Google has not been very helpful in teaching me about. Any assistance would be appreciated!

[wise garnet]

#server-hosting message

[wise garnet]

Thanks. So not command line I am guessing? And is the QueryPort still a thing? I never see the server listening on that port with netstat

[silver obsidian]

Made a new .bat that to me looks exactly like the old one, difference being this one works better. Anyway; Next hurdle.

Any big thonk to share?

[lethal notch]

After update 5
my server almost never appears in the list.
what was done in this update to look like this?

right now my server is on, and it doesn't appear in the list.

Has anyone here managed to connect via RCON an node.js app (or an other app) and has a functional example of how to format the expected payload on the server end once the connection is established? I'm running into issues trying to send a buffer with my RCON password

would be appreciated

[lethal notch]

i will want know that too

[lethal notch]

can you help with that too?
maybe i can help too

[runic sierra]

I'm asking because I'm not too sure

Would have been great an example or two of write calls

[lethal notch]

humm

[tawdry sentinel]

Have had the same issue, all I've seen so far from people is that the password and that needs be be sent in hex format, but I've been getting nowhere with it

[runic sierra]

yeah I wish they would have like one implementation example

been reading a bit more about TCP packets

might have an idea but I'm lazy now I'l try again later or tomorrow

[runic sierra]

only the password?

I tried the whole string

but it won't work

I know you need to send a buffer if you're using node.js

[tawdry sentinel]

From what someone said the other day its everything including the password, if you search for rcon you can see what people have said about it, I'm going to try and look into it again tonight and see if I can get anywhere

If I manage to get anywhere with it I'll let you know

[lethal notch]

my RCON is not working 😦

whenever I try to connect this message appears.

ip, ports and password are correct.

[runic sierra]

me too

I know @golden flare has as solution but he sits on it like a throne lol

https://tenor.com/view/whatever-shrug-idk-i-dont-know-elmo-gif-16565594

I'l figure it out

you got this right?

[runic sierra]

what do you use to connnect to your server?

[lethal notch]

RustAdmin (RECON Admin)

[runic sierra]

ahhh I see

I made some progress

I managed to get "wrong password" response back

[lethal notch]

😄

[runic sierra]

which means it detected my command

[lethal notch]

what you did?

what are you using to connect?

[runic sierra]

Data received from the server: Incorrect Password.

my own node.js app

[lethal notch]

😐

[runic sierra]

when I get it working i'l post the solution here

[lethal notch]

ok

[runic sierra]

I don't think I'm far from it

[lethal notch]

hey

I have an idea, since you are making your own app, try to send the information to RCOn using json

[runic sierra]

it's TCP it needs a buffer

[lethal notch]

json work on web response too

[lethal notch]

'-' I understood nothing
😢

WTF

[runic sierra]

well well well, I recognize this bit of code

[lethal notch]

RCONAuthenticationError – if authentication failed, either due to being banned or providing the wrong password.

where am i going wrong?

the password can have @ # $ % ???

I give up, nothing works for me.
if anyone can do this, please tag me.

[runic sierra]

Got it thanks to @merry urchin input

const net = require('net');
const client = new net.Socket();
client.connect({ port: YourPort, host: YourHost }, () => {
        console.log('TCP connection established with the server');
        const packetMainLength = 2; // fixed overhead of packet without payload (Accounts command + emtpy null byte at the end
        const password = 'youRconPassword'; // string
        let utf8Encode = new TextEncoder();
        const encoded = utf8Encode.encode(password);
        const packetLength = packetMainLength + encoded.length;
        const buffer = Buffer.alloc(packetLength, 0);
        // Command to execute
        buffer[0] = 0x01;
        for (let i = 1; i <= encoded.length; i += 1) {
            buffer[i] = encoded[i - 1];
        }
        buffer[buffer.length] = 0x00;
        client.write(buffer);
    });

you can apply the same logic for other commands by incrementing the packaMainLength by one

[tawdry sentinel]

what module are you using for "client" if you dont mind me asking?

[runic sierra]

sorry my bad

net module from Node.js

corrected it

this should work

I managed to connect and authenticate my TCP session

[tawdry sentinel]

Thanks, your a legend 👍

[lethal notch]

As usual it didn't work for me. I must be cursed.
😢

[tawdry sentinel]

where it says utf8Encode.encode(payload) change payload to password

it will work

[lethal notch]

humm

thanks

[lethal notch]

❤️

[runic sierra]

wops

[versed bay]

I thought at first ping was fixed, but daaaamn, far from fixed

[golden flare]

It's the only throne i have 😄

[runic sierra]

except it wasn't your solution 😅

[runic sierra]

not at all xD

[bronze sky]

how did you guys fixed the bug removin Port=xxx from config?

when the server starts

[merry scroll]

please tell me, will it work to start the server and log on to it from your PC?

[brisk forge]

you want someone to try to log onto your server?

[merry scroll]

I'd like to come in first

[brisk forge]

im confused

[brisk forge]

yeah sorry i have no clue, thought you needed to see if someone could join your server

[merry scroll]

That is all right

can you help with that?

[brisk forge]

i dont know how to help with that error, havent even got my own server to work yet

im having this error and my server wont appear on the unofficial list

the ports can be yours

[brisk forge]

alr lemme see

i still get the same error and everytime i start the server it deletes the port=, and isint it supposed to be PeerPort or am i thinking of something else

maybe somethings wrong with the server itself, i only have some of the stuff in your engine.ini ima reinstall and try a few things

[merry scroll]

in the main bat file, do not specify the port and ip

[brisk forge]

i got it to work

[merry scroll]

nice

[merry scroll]

have you started the server?

[brisk forge]

yes and i am able to join

[merry scroll]

And I can't get in

[brisk forge]

to your server?

[merry scroll]

yea

[brisk forge]

whats the name?

[merry scroll]

I deleted it, I'll start over

[brisk forge]

alr

[merry scroll]

do you start the server and log in to it from one PC?

[brisk forge]

yes

[merry scroll]

ok thx bro

[brisk forge]

np lmk if you want me to try and join yours

[merry scroll]

No, that's all I wanted to know

[brisk forge]

alr

[woven parcel]

I've also got this issue with connection time out, nobody can get into the server even though it's running

[astral meadow]

<@&505047238674874368> having an absolute blast playing your game. Any chance you peeps could start up some more official servers?

[solar snow]

Please only use this channel for help and guidance on hosting an unofficial server for The Isle

[merry scroll]

can you tell me how the engine.ini file should appear in the WindowsServer folder??? Last time it wasn't there, but it appeared, now it's gone again 😮

In the instructions of the EVRIMA Server Hosting Manual, there is not a word about the engine.ini file at all

🤯

[deft venture]

can anyone tell me the link on how to make a dedicated server i almost have the computer built for it and need more info

never mind i found the guide 🤓

[hasty shoal]

Anybody here?

[deft venture]

what

[hasty shoal]

Why can't I find any servers today

[deft venture]

question what are the system rqwirments for server hosting

[hasty shoal]

System configuration？

I don't quite understand

[deft venture]

no like what kinda pc do i need to run a server well

[hasty shoal]

I used to be able to search all the servers, but since the version update, I can't search any servers anymore

So I am in all servers of the dragon now I can not play, I am very sad 😦

<@&505047238674874368>

[deft venture]

is 16 gigs of ram enougf to run a server

[brisk forge]

ah makes sense

[runic sierra]

You will need to kill the connection & open a new one on every calls and have a logic to check wether or not you have a valid authentication by sending a test call

It's pretty dodgy... but it works. The socket won't accept more than one call...

that's not how a socket is supposed to work 😅

Hope they will improve upon it

Otherwise they can just give an http REST api to their server at this point...

would be cleaner

[lethal notch]

I don't understand java_script_ so much, I was happy that the connection worked, but I don't know how to use it.
The language I know is Python, I tried every way here and I couldn't get it to work.
Always giving the same answer (erro): unauthorized authentication.

if you or anyone else knows how to do this in Python, please let me know.

[runic sierra]

it's javascript

[lethal notch]

👍

[golden flare]

What? you just authenticate one time when server boots up and then you can send as many commands as you want until the server restarts again

[runic sierra]

Not according to my tests and I validated with amarok and he said the connection needs to be opened again on every calls. If you send more buffers into the same stream it just stops responding

[muted cairn]

You don't need to try Python. I tested it myself and it did not work

[golden flare]

Well yeah, but you only authenticate one time ?

[runic sierra]

Per server sessions yes, except my app is also running 24/7 and has no idea wether or not it still has a valid session

If the server restarts and my app thinks it's still authenticated and it's not anymore I send packets to check the response

and authenticate or not depending on what I get

[golden flare]

You can solve that by parsing the log and use if not statement

[golden flare]

i got a event that parse the log every minute and if the successful authentication is not present it will send the authentication call

[runic sierra]

I don't see why sending one packet to check the status is any better or worse

than parsing the logs for it

[golden flare]

idk, just thought it was cleaner

[runic sierra]

I disagree

Having played a lot in the server logs so far, it's unreliable

sending one packet and checking what you get gives you the exact status of your connection on the spot

And the server closes the connection when it declines something, so you can almost safely assume that you don't have a valid session if the server ends the connection on its end

[golden flare]

Maybe, been working great for me and the other servers that have been using it since update 4

[runic sierra]

What ever works for you

it's not like there's only one solution

I wouldn't go that way

that doesn't mean that it doesn't work

[golden flare]

nah i mean, you could just have it authenticate at each command, its not a issue either

[runic sierra]

That would not work

I tried that

[golden flare]

It does work

[runic sierra]

if I remember correctly it stopped responding after to RCON after you tried to revalidate a session

And also you're sending 2 calls on every single calls, meh

[golden flare]

just said it was possible 😄

[nova wigeon]

is there a way to request to be able to make a server???

[runic sierra]

you had weird behaviours in regard to rcon password?

I change it in the game.ini file and it stops being recognized

I have like this one password that actually goes trough

[golden flare]

Not really, i can put whatever and it goes through

[runic sierra]

here ?
[/Script/Engine.Game]
RconEnabled=true
RconPassword=password
RconPort=7676

[golden flare]

Yeah

[muted cairn]

Mygameplatform.com installs it for you via the website and server name and so you have to do it yourself.

[errant snow]

Does anyone know if logic servers works with envrima branch? It does not mention it anywhere on their website. I need a new host because G-portal is broken, and they sold me the server anyways.

[merry urchin]

@burnt berry

[burnt berry]

Hello

[merry urchin]

[uneven tide]

Hello,
what can cause, that a my server is no longer visible in the server list?

[subtle pebble]

I get this error when trying to launch my evrima server and I've got no clue what could cause the issue
LogNet: Error: UEngine::BroadcastNetworkFailure: FailureType = NetDriverListenFailure, ErrorString = , Driver = GameNetDriver EOSNetDriver_2147478387
Here's what I tried:
1)Changing my DNS
2)Making sure I put the right IP
3) Port forwarded the ports (firewall & router)

7777-7778        TCP
27015-27017        UDP
7777-7778        UDP```
4)Tried swapping from my public IP to my WLAN IP

Any Ideas on where the problem might be are welcome! Thanks.

[wild oxide]

How do I create a server in Evrima?

[subtle pebble]

same error

but same stuff

[unreal flame]

iam trying to connect eu server, and when 92\100 they write me server is full

[serene flint]

Hi can someone assist to unstuck a friend GER/ENG Die Insel server?

[unreal flame]

try to host 2 hours

[subtle pebble]

nothing to do with the section #server-hosting contact the admins of the unofficial server.

[serene flint]

k thx

[subtle pebble]

same thing, nothing to do with #server-hosting, keep trying

[serene flint]

how do u do that tho

[subtle pebble]

join their discord server, use google to find it or look in#unofficial-isle-communities

[subtle pebble]

what should I have added

what example #announcements have everything there, and only announcement referring to what you're saying is that one

If anyone else could help me, I'd appreciate it #server-hosting message

[violet marsh]

Just copy and paste this into your engine.ini at the bottom. You need the tag in the brackets for it to work. This wasn't explained well in the announcement unless you looked closely at the image.```

However if you're trying to join your server and are timing out and you're hosting it locally, currently there's no way to join your server unless your router supports NAT loopback or hairpinning since we can't connect to our local IP's anymore with the loss of the favorites from Steam. You're stuck with me and a few others if that's your case

[subtle pebble]

Yep, I think I was missing the first line

thanks a lot @violet marsh

It said it's online, imma check

@violet marsh got any idea why this is happening? Is that what you mentioned above?

[violet marsh]

I don't think so, all of my timeouts were 120 seconds not 20. You might search the channel I know it's been a common problem but I'm sure there's a solution somewhere

[tardy temple]

Is there an updated video tutorial on how to host the evrima map?

[subtle pebble]

#server-hosting message
Couldn't find anything on how to change the tick, if anyone got any information please ping me, I would appreciate that.

So it's a bug that you can't play on the same machine your server is hosted or is that intentional

well that sucks anyway

[subtle pebble]

What if youd host in a vitrual machine? Will that make a difference?

[subtle pebble]

Right

[hollow moon]

There's an isle community I'm part of. I forget, was there a way in Evrima to give someone a specific permission or was that just in my mind?

(Since I do content on their server, they might want to give me just spectator like they did on their POT server, they run one of each)

[woven parcel]

I'm getting the timeout message too, playing from a separate machine and nobody else can get in either

[subtle pebble]

Has a dev given a formal answer to this? If not, could we get one?

[woven parcel]

I haven't seen anything about it, seen mentions of it in here but not any solutions unfortunately

[grand quail]

Hello,
How can I destroy the rcon session?
I use net of nodejs

[unkempt igloo]

so i been trying to put up a server on Gportal and it says its active but not showing up at all! idk if maybe i missed a step or what ? anyone got any idea on how to fix this?

[trail crypt]

same issue here, some hosts like pingperfect found a workaround the devs incopetence, Gportal aint one of them.

[nova wigeon]

it only says for the isle legacy

[wise garnet]

Bumping this in case anyone has an idea

[untold ravine]

what do you say about starting a 200 slot server together?

[runic sierra]

They still haven't fixed that?!

omg

[untold ravine]

so basically isle servers isnt that optimized yet to support 200 players

would be awesome tho if the official server could ahve 300 to 400 slots but maybe that is impossible

would be cool tho

[woven parcel]

thank you! ^^

[tardy temple]

Hey guys I need some help, I am trying to set up an Evrima server but everytime I run my batch file I get this and it makes this error over and over again...

[woven parcel]

You need to add this to your engine.ini file so your server starts properly.

DedicatedServerClientSecret=pKWl6t5i9NJK8gTpVlAxzENZ65P8hYzodV8Dqe5Rlc8```

[wise garnet]

Under the heading [EpicOnlineServices]

[tardy temple]

I am following the guide that was posted recently and I followed all the steps but at step 9 when I start the batch file that happens, also I see no engine.ini anywhere

[wise garnet]

You can also set on the command line. See the pins

[tardy temple]

Okay done that and it is installing I guess? Is this supposed to happen cause there are a few warning that look concerning

[sullen kayak]

anyone that has a fix for this error?

https://pastebin.com/j9Gx8cQy

[faint laurel]

Anyone have any ideas here?

[deft venture]

plz if anyone has a fix for this i been on it for 12 hours

[deft venture]

also i need to know what the icpm port it and how to utalze it
