I believe I have already opened all the ports for routers and firewall

I tried logging in to see if it was something related to trying to access the host machine and now this appears

regular

#

might be dependencies missing that steam will install with itself

#

im just throwing wild guesses tho from past experiences

green ermine
#

same crash launching from steam installed in a different location via steam

#

considering its the same error on server 2025 and ubuntu makes me think its gotta be proxmox

something about the virtualization isn't playing nice is my guess

Hello,

Anyone encounter this issue where it does not create a session? It just loads there indefinably, no errors on the Logs either. Using Windows 2022 Server edition.

Looks good to me! It happens every time, we have not been able to run the server, thanks for answering!

#

I think it created the session now?

#

I already did, nothing is being blocked on there. It's all a pass through.

#

I for the life of me cant get a server going. I get it to show up on the list. Just get a timeout when joining. Ports forwarded. Added windows firewall as full pass. Queue and rcon ports off as both settings are disabled for now. I have 2 other servers running on this box, minecraft and enshrouded with no issues. Any insight?

In your game.ini under the [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession] section u gotta adjust this: RegionSpawnCooldownTimeSeconds=xxxx
Bit tricky, it uses the difference from UTC to the timezone that your host server runs in. Example: If your server timezone is 1 hour ahead of UTC, then 3900 seconds would mean a 5 minute respawn cooldown, if you're behind UTC you'd have to look at -values and test around

Create a folder (e.g. C:\SteamCMD), download and extract SteamCMD into it, run steamcmd.exe, login anonymous, set force_install_dir "C:\TheIsleServer", run app_update 412680 validate, and then quit to install The Isle dedicated server on Windows.

Hello, im having trouble with a dedicated windows server im helping get setup. Im able to ping it, but i can't find it in the server select screen. I've port forwarded. I've set the DedicatedServerClientId and DedicatedServerClientSecret in the engine.ini. The engine.ini and game.ini are saved to TheIsle\Saved\Config\WindowsServer. Is it an issue with my file structure? Is there anything i'm missing?

So after hours of searching I give up. Does anyone know the AllowedClasses command or syntax to enable the humans on the server? I used the button to enable humans on AMP but all it did was make it so I can press Generation 2 but I cannot get beyond that point.

#

For example do I need to add AllowedClasses=HumanMale and HumanFemale, or is it AllowedClasses=Generation2male. I have tried several versions of this and cant seem to get it to work.

Ooh. really.

#

I try that

elder yacht

#

did you shut down the server fully, edit the ini (and save) then load the server back up?

visual timber
elder yacht
#

But it works now

inner dragon
#

yeah I've learned the hard way making any changes needs to be done after the server is shut down fully

elder yacht
#

It did that a few times before. Maybe it becuase i had a comma in my line and if that's not supported it restores the config to a working backup?

inner dragon
#

no the server just does that when you make a change to the ini while it's running. it's kinda janky

I have the -log argument when I start my server so I know when it’s fully exited. You can watch your processes also for when the server goes away from process list

hey all! fairly new server owner here. Does anyone know of a place where I can find a step by step process for activating RCON? I have looked high and low and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to enable it. I have the files in the game ini... so i'm not to sure what has to happen next Thanks!

inner dragon
#

Once the ini has rcon enabled correctly you’ll want to pick an RCON client/script and login with that

unfortunately the options are quite minimal in the RCON space

Check the logs and it's probably due to Steam API or EOS.

This was needed to be added as an Allowed apps , TheIsleServer-Win64-Shipping.exe on the Windows firewall.

#

Also these .dlls were missing. I grabbed them from the Steamworks SDK Redist and added them to:

C:\theisland\TheIsle\Binaries\Win64 - Might be different for you.

inner dragon
#

that's actually super helpful for me as well, I've just installed the steam client for fixing it but this is obviously way more prefered

#

for the love of god though, does anyone know why the region cooldown is ignored in the game ini?

lyric gust
#

I'm not familiar with the suggested TCPView, but I see 443 pop up in red - assuming red is blocked or droped.

that's unfortunately not my situation, I have the cooldown set to false and it is indeed in the session actually placed on the same exact lines as the example Game.ini

Potential fix for servers not starting, even if port forwarded and .DLL binaries fixed!
(Not guaranteed to work, every case is diff)

Ea. If you see [Starting server session...] & [Start server creation]

But it never doesn't succeed in starting:
[Server session started!]

This has fixed a multitude of servers, where they don't appear - on dedicated servers

(And frankly, this just worked for me on Windows server 2019)

  1. Install Steam (i know.. you dont really want that on a dedicated server)

  2. Install & Swap The Isle to Evrima branch. And install it.

  3. Once installed, Run The Isle Evrima
    -- and let it process all the things. It will begin loading up the game, ea saying EAC not installed or Graphic card missing or smth.

Thats fine.

But try to start your server up now, after this - mine came to the Already bound anti-cheat and network failure events - this is not an error, and is ok!

Two minutes after, then the server came with [Server session started!] or something.

And voila, you are done. you hopefully can find your server now ingame!

After this

I was able to remove steam again off the server, and server could still start.

Not guaranteed if you can also remove the game again, I didn't try. But steam should be fine to remove

Hello, would anyone be so kind as to upload a working server somewhere for download?

#

I already tried this, but I can't connect to the server. I followed a tutorial on Steam.

inner dragon
#

you cant connect to the server?

peak tartan
#

yes

inner dragon
#

what do you mean? steamcmd cant connect to download it or?

#

if your steamcmd cant download the server that would indicate you don't have internet to the server which would make the dedicated server also not be able to be joinable and be useless even if you downloade the files on your machine and upload them to the server

# peak tartan the server boots up but during the connection it throws me this

Just figured this issue out if you havent found a solution yet. Go to your Steam folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam"

Copy these files:
steamclient64.dll
tier0_s64.dll
vstdlib_s64.dll
crashhandler64.dll

And put them in your server folder "The Isle Dedicated Server\TheIsle\Binaries\Win64"

***Assuming you have ports open ***

just replace whats in ur server_start.bat with the thing i pasted above, but make sure it points to the correct place for your steamcmd.exe and correct folder/drive for your server location

and port if you are not using 7777

You could also add validate after evrima in the +login anonymous +app_update 412680 -beta evrima +quit

if you want it to "check" files each time it startsup

Start by opening ports in your router and the firewall of the computer you want to host it on.

7777 - UDP Game port
10000 - TCP Queue
8888 - TCP Rcon

Do you have to search for this somewhere?

There is pinned messages in this chat, the PDF-file there goes through the rough setup of a server. However it is missing some parts, so you might get stuck using it.

Okay

inner dragon

it's pretty straight forward

Prep port requirements
Download SteamCMD
Download Isle EVIRMA via SteamCMD
Install the missing requirements and libraries
Setup Game.ini as you wish
start game via batch script (with engine keys in argument)```
#

/adminpanel in game for admin stuff

#

RCON client for almost useless scheduled commands

celest cloak
#

help me please

inner dragon
#

with what

celest cloak
inner dragon
#

enable region spawn

celest cloak
#

spawn

inner dragon
#

these are the arguments in the ini you'll want to adjust

bUseRegionSpawnCooldown=true //Enable region cooldown
RegionSpawnCooldownTimeSeconds=30 //Region cooldown max time.```
#

if you're setting the cooldown timers to disabled don't forget to setup the UTC time difference in the cooldown seconds for whatever reason the Dev's probably won't ever explain

ornate cedar
#

Does it matter? wouldn't 30 sec be 30 sec anywhere, or am i missunderstanding it.

inner dragon
#

you'd think that right? but no it oddly does matter lmao

ornate cedar
#

Who ever came up with the way to setup servers with all these obstacles must have thrown a lot of elbowgreese into figuring all this out

inner dragon
#

it threw me off because before I wiped my VM and went with VirtIO storage drivers the default 30 second cooldown with cooldown false actually worked and then after reinstalling windows it forced the timer until someone pointed out I have to put the cooldown seconds in difference of hours from UTC time

ornate cedar
#

But how does that work practically?

inner dragon
#

yeah I mean I'm going to keep passive aggressively bashing the dev's here and there until they actually start helping relay info on the server side but I'm sure dedi servers bring them no money or new players so probably won't help anytime soon

inner dragon
#

but that's just a guess

ornate cedar
#

did someone document that somewhere with examples?

inner dragon
#

well we cant pin messages in here so no

I was going in on coding a Winform tool to do everything from start to finish to get evirma server on windows downloaded, prepped and running but I lost a good chunk of interest after dealing with the cooldown timer BS

ornate cedar
#

understandable, not to mention every major update kinda bricks all the tools we had

inner dragon
#

well that's where my tool would prob be decently reliable. I was going to use Github as a template updater so the tool pulls from the raw github file and any updates would pull the change and update the ini as needed and just use default setting until modified by user

#

the whole source is on Github and the solution has the default ini's to use as template when setting up so checking the ini on the github master is super easy to do

ornate cedar
#

ah, smurt. Didnt realise it was avalible there

inner dragon
#

not that much left to do besides code the server ini write based on settings entered in UI and starting the server and handling auto restarts and RCON scheduled tasks

#

add to the main UI server info obviously too

ornate cedar
#

What language are you using?

#

Py?

inner dragon
#

c#, it's my love language

ornate cedar
#

ah

inner dragon
#

I'll port this to linux for console app at some point too

#

perk of .NET Core

ornate cedar
#

TI_TroodonStrangle what about me the windows user

inner dragon
#

it's a winform app, it'll run on windows as is

the console app for cross platform just needs redone and moved over to a console app to compile cross platform

Anyone had or have problems with fish spawn? We barely have any fish spawn in the server and we havent changed anything, we only changed growth and AIs to x2. It seems our server has less fish than other servers. Could that be a possibility or we're just really not lucky with them?

ornate cedar
tacit sparrow
#

Ok cool. Glad we are not alone bc im about to loose it with ppl complaining about fish saying our server is the problem.

Thank you

#

We've reduced the Ai spawn interval to 5 minutes but no results

verbal nymph
#

What specs do I need to runserver

tacit sparrow
#

Depends how many players you want.

ornate cedar
inner dragon
tacit sparrow
#

Yea we havent tried that yet. We were afraid it would impact performance but on our new machine it should be ok.

verbal nymph
#

No more that like 15

ornate cedar
inner dragon
verbal nymph
#

Not really taxing on the gpu?

inner dragon
#

server doesn't use the GPU

#

it's a multithreaded console application

tacit sparrow
#

Yea as soon as we upgraded CPU all the problems were solved for us

inner dragon
#

I've seen 12GB used with 62 players

tacit sparrow
#

We have the equivalent of a i9 14 900 + 32gb of ram and SSD for 150 players.

#

Can't do more tho.

ornate cedar
#

Easy, just download more RAM

inner dragon
#

I'm testing the server performance with 32 core xeon VM at the moment

#

so far it's done pretty well

tacit sparrow
#

This is the usage of our ressources with 150 players

image.png
inner dragon
#

yeah that's what I would expect

ornate cedar
inner dragon
#

it's really not that resource heavy

ornate cedar
#

tweak it to eat more

tacit sparrow
#

Yes live load but if the CPU is not powerful enough you will get massive rubberbanding and S-FPS below 10 above 100 players

inner dragon
#

you can't really "tweak" the server to use more memory, it uses it as it needs

tacit sparrow
#

We had to upgrade from an i5 to i9 for 150 players

#

Ngl this is one of the most expensive server I have paid for all the games I have made servers on

ornate cedar
#

Hosting is fun

#

(sometimes)

inner dragon
#

yeah if you're renting it I'm sure you're getting bent over on price for the i9

tacit sparrow
#

150 a month

inner dragon
#

I'm just using a bare metal box I was originally using for personal backup storage, added 2 500GB nvme's and booted up a VM for the game server ontop of it

inner dragon
tacit sparrow
#

Not THAT bad but I could run 5 full five m server on that thing

inner dragon
#

I would guess the evirma server will get performance improvements over the years if the project ever focuses on expanding the community's options instead of offical servers and new dino's

ornate cedar
#

i9 14900 to rent for 150 a month tho... thats insane

#

considering the CPU would pay it self off compared after 4 months

tacit sparrow
#

Thats what you need if you want 150 players without lag

inner dragon
#

that's just how hosting is

tacit sparrow
#

Can't imagine how expensive it is for petits pieds or islander, they're prolly not renting

inner dragon
#

one of these days I'll pull the bandaid off and rent a rack in Denver

tacit sparrow
#

Our server is in Austin and EVERYONE gets good ping. W location

inner dragon
#

yeah if you're in a DC you have direct peering

#

that's just how that works

ornate cedar
#

Just smack a threadripper in there

#

two for good luck

inner dragon
#

Epyc 9965 would prob be pretty well

tacit sparrow
#

We even overclocked the CPU 30%

#

Still lags above 150 😦

ornate cedar
#

Poor coding

inner dragon
#

ehh, yes and no

#

unfortunately their multithreading doesn't look to be doing as much as it could to use more of the CPU's capabilities

#

but at the same time 150 people on an i9 with less than 10% usage itself is pretty impressive

ornate cedar
#

The lag most likely starts when they are all in one place, had similar issues in other games where people lump in one location.

tacit sparrow
#

I don't understand why it lags when we bump the player count

#

By lag I mean massive rubberbanding and S-FPS below 10 which doesnt seem very good for performance

inner dragon
#

you'll never know

#

you'd have to checkout the actual code to see what it is/isnt doing to find the true cause of it

tacit sparrow
#

We upgraded 2 weeks ago but I can provide that for you once the month is done

#

In this part of the internet there is no page on my router, so how do I do it?

ornate cedar
#

might be the same for most

inner dragon
#

without a hosted service you'll have to poll that info via SNMP via something like LibreNMS,PRTG,Observium, etc

tacit sparrow
#

I'll look it up once home

ornate cedar
#

I am curious, why is it interesting with the bandwidth? Are you capped at a certain ammount?

inner dragon
#

it's pretty efficient on the networking side, I've seen alot more pps from other servers

still sleet
#

I found out my ip was another now what do I do?

inner dragon
#

was another?

still sleet
#

Yes

inner dragon
#

idk what that even means

#

the server IP isn't what you set for the port forward?

still sleet
#

No, I find the one on my internet

inner dragon
#

you don't need to know your public IP for this server, as long as your modem/router is assigned a public IP and is not behind CGNAT just setup the port forward on your gateway/router to your server and the port open on the server

ornate cedar
#

You only need you "PC" local ip that your router set for you.

#

open CMD and typ > ipconfig /all

#

look for the (perferred) ip, should be 192..... smt

inner dragon
#

it can be anything within the RFC1918 space but more than likely it'll be a 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x

ornate cedar
#

Then you need to open that "PC" ports in the Router by going to your routers webui (ipadress is usually on a sticker underneath your router) bring your phone to take a picture so you dont have to run back for the username and password later.

still sleet
#

I got it

ornate cedar
#

then you browse to said router ip via a webbrowser, login on the website with the info you have on the sticker

#

after that you probably are best off googling "how to open ports router model"

still sleet
#

thank you

Colo hosting use to be a big thing, but not really worth it anymore in most cases

clever arch
#

so ive done everything but i keep getting this error any ideas?

Screenshot_2025-02-27_014510.png
inner dragon
#

timing out, no port reply

clever arch
#

im really not good at this kinda stuff

#

but doing my best to learn

#

what do i do to fix it?

inner dragon
#

check your network configuration on router and server, also ensure you're not behind CGNAT from your probider (if this is being hosted at your home)

clever arch
#

ill try look

#

im on tp link and it feels so much more confusing than others

inner dragon
#

tp link should hopefully show the IP assigned from your provider. check that is the same IP your error shows. if not you're most likely behind CGNAT

#

usually you just get "data acquisition failed" but that may also indicate the same thing but in a better detailed return. if your server console doesn't show your connection attempts it's a port issue

clever arch
#

i have no idea my brain is getting fried i normally have a friend help me but hes had enough of helping me at the moment

inner dragon
#

welp if it's a networking thing I can attempt to help you or point out why it's not working. I'm a network and cybersec guy at work so ask whatever questions you have in that realm

clever arch
#

i feel stupid for asking this but can i private dm u and use teamviewer or something?

inner dragon
#

sorry, I don't do DM support and especially don't do remote support into peoples stuff

#

you can post screenshots and stuff with the questions you have

clever arch
#

where would i see what you need to know and ill take screenshots

inner dragon
#

I haven't touched tp link in many of years but there should be a status page for your internet uplink

#

whats your model number?

clever arch
#

Archer VR1210v_F6E3

#

im sorry if i get things wrong lmao

inner dragon
#

looks like that has an internet tab after you login

clever arch
#

yes thats right

inner dragon
#

it should show the IP you're assigned from your provider

#

o boy you're using pppoe with vlan from your provider?

clever arch
#

i have no idea buddy first time doing this

inner dragon
#

that's a good indication you're behind CGNAT

clever arch
#

god dammit

inner dragon
#

in command prompt show me a traceroute to google or 1.1.1.1

clever arch
#

what do i put as the command

inner dragon
#

traceroute 1.1.1.1

clever arch
#

C:\Windows\System32>traceroute 1.1.1.1
'traceroute' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

inner dragon
#

My bad tracert, windows things

clever arch
#

its doing smth

inner dragon
#

Does your internet tab show an IP assignment?

clever arch
#

cant find anything

#

there is also EWAN tab on this internet tab

inner dragon
#

from a quick browse on that plusnet forum it looks like they're doing NAT on the pppoe gateway direct (which is normal) and give you a routable public which is normal - however that means their gateway needs to be the one with the port opened since the NAT is happening on their gateway. My guess is you have to ask for them to setup DSTNAT to open the port but no clue if they would do that

clever arch
#

i just renewed my contract aswell thats a shame i was reluctant to go with them as ive not heard of onestream before

inner dragon
#

worst case you put a ticket in with them and ask and they say no

clever arch
#

i have this

inner dragon
#

well that port is wrong to start, 7777 is for the game

clever arch
#

so what should it be?

naive onyx
#

I think what they mean is from the looks of it you put 7777 as the name, not the port.

clever arch
#

7777 is the external port

#

the interal i have as 7788

inner dragon
#

yeah I would definitely not do that, bind the port correctly on the server and let the NAT rule be a 1 to 1 7777->7777

#

I wouldn't trust tp link to work properly for that setup

inner dragon
#

But yeah I’d hit up your provider and ask if they can setup the DSTNAT on their gateway to your router to allow the port to be open

sick lava
#

ive done everything but when i load up the .exe folder it loads up and stops here any help please

Say I want to run a server on my local network for testing purposes before going live etc. Is there a way to connect the client game to this server?

Nevermind, game finds running games locally with no port forwarded 🙂

Why Port=7777-7778?

pick one thats open

lean shadow

yeah you can't listen on multiple ports

#

HAS to be 1

sick lava
#

Idk lol was trying to fix stuff ill change it back to my port that i set up in my static IP

#

Sweet thx

#

?Port=7777?

#

like trhat?

lean shadow
#

yeah use 7777 if you don't know what you're doing

ornate cedar
#

yeah just erase -7778

sick lava
#

100% dont know what im doing lol

ornate cedar
#

Good thing this channel exists where other people who dont know what they are doing probably encountered the same issues xD

sick lava

do it before -log

ooh nice

How does one go about that lol

ornate cedar
#

Go to your Steam folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam"

Copy these files:
steamclient64.dll
tier0_s64.dll
vstdlib_s64.dll
crashhandler64.dll

And put them in your server folder "The Isle Dedicated Server\TheIsle\Binaries\Win64"

#

might help

#

or you might just have to restart your server/game incase its just being difficult

sick lava
#

Sweet

ornate cedar
#

eitherway a restart is needed, so smack those files into there while ur at it

#

@lean shadow create_auth_message might be structured incorrectly from what little i know, and i asked mr chatgpt and its throwing this out


def create_auth_message(password):
    packet_id = 1  # Can be any integer
    packet_type = 3  # 3 = SERVERDATA_AUTH
    password_bytes = password.encode() + b"\x00"  # Null-terminated password
    packet_size = 4 + 4 + len(password_bytes) + 1  # ID (4) + Type (4) + Password + Final Null

    # Pack into correct format: <int (size), int (ID), int (Type), string, final null byte>
    message = struct.pack("<iii", packet_size, packet_id, packet_type) + password_bytes + b"\x00"
    return message```

ahh my ip is leaked

yeah this issue looks familiar

sick lava
#

hasnt said that is started sucessfully so im getting there might have to check my ports are the same in the game.ini

ornate cedar
#

Yeah might be ports honestly, i got 7777, 8888, 10000, 5555 open

#

firewall on the computer and or the router

sick lava
#

Ill make sure its open

#

Wait it says session started succesffuly now

#

Ill have a geez

#

Still says the data thing

lean shadow
#

@sick lava whats your server IP?

sick lava
#

Idk how to see that 😛

lean shadow
#

google whatsmyipaddress

#

im assuming you're trying to run the server from the computer you're on, right

sick lava
#

Thats my port mapping

lean shadow
#

WHAT IS YOUR IP ADDRESS

ornate cedar
#

its in the screenshot from me above

#

the New Zealand IP

lean shadow
#

118.92.226.166?

ornate cedar
#

thats what his server has yeah

sick lava
#

oh my IP is 192.168.1.15

ornate cedar
#

thats ur local ip

lean shadow
#

OK you really need to read the documentation milor from the pinned

sick lava
#

Thats my IPV4

lean shadow
#

You don't need 7778 mapped

ornate cedar
#

192 adresses is locally on your router

lean shadow
#

And the port mapping doesn't include the interal ip address that it should be mapped to

ornate cedar
#

192.168.1.15 is basically your computers internal ip adress inside the routers network

lean shadow
#

This is a proper example of what mappings look like

image.png
#

A connection looks like (source_address, source_port) -> (destination_address, destination_port)

#

You don't need to know the source address because presumably, you want anyone to be able to connect. The destination address is your EXTERNAL ip address at the first step of the connection. The ports can be whatever you want, but they must match your port forwarding rules

#

For example, if I want people to connect to my 7DTD server, they would connect to (THEIR_IP, 26900) -> (MY_IP, 26900)

#

The reason that the IP on the port mapping is included is because you have several computers behind your "router". The route needs to know which computer behind the router uses that port for the game server

ornate cedar
#

as an example of multiple devices within the router network

image.png
sick lava
#

118.92.226.166
this is my routers ip

ornate cedar
#

yes

#

it is your public ip

#

assigned by your ISP

sick lava
#

Nice

lean shadow
#

Not 100% accurate, but demonstrates the purpose

ornate cedar
#

It might be worth mentioning static and dynamic ip-adresses too

lean shadow
#

The reason you have to do the mapping is because you only ever get the 1 IP address to go over the internet. The 192.XXX addresses are "dummy" addresses so you don't ever need more than 1 IP address. Port forwarding "maps" the external 1 IP address you get to one of the 192.XXX addresses

#

Because the connection needs a port to operate over, you ALSO need to specify the port (otherwise computers could only ever make 1 connection at a time with no ports)

sick lava
#

So do i put 118.92.226.166 anywhere in the files?

lean shadow
#

nope

sick lava
#

Okay all good

lean shadow
#

gennnerrrraalllllyyy you never need to specify the external because the router already knows the 1 it needs

#

(some setups complicate this, not yours)

#

BUT you need to know the LOCAL ip address of the server so you can put it in your Port Forwarding rule

#

This way, the "router" can send all INCOMING traffic from port 7777 to the server (server's port 7777 as well)

#

Remember, a connection is (SRC_ADDR, SRC_PORT) -> (DST_ADDR, DST_PORT)

sick lava
#

Im on vodafone and the mapping is baked its not showing any ip adresses only ports

lean shadow
#

do you have your router model?

ornate cedar
#

sick lava
#

HG659

#

sick lava
#

Thats why im so confused lol

ornate cedar
#

huawei

sick lava
#

Btw thank you for helping me i know im a potato lol

ornate cedar
#

Looks like you just choose internal host in the port mapping from this docutmentation

#

So it would be in the previous steps before you get to the port section

lean shadow
#

man the HG659 overcomplicates things

ornate cedar
#

where you first select the "application" which is your portforwarding then select "internal host"

#

then save and its open... i think?

#

yeah this was probably the worst i've seen

#

but at least the documentation shows you step by step how to pick and choose, just make sure its the correct computer selected in the internal host field

#

and the right application selected when saving

sick lava
#

Yep thats set up correctly

#

Whats a port trigger do i need to do that aswell?

lean shadow
#

no

hmm

lean shadow
#

GOT IT

ornate cedar
#

you figured it out?

lean shadow
#

nope

#

I think it is his router, but couldn't verify for certain

ornate cedar
#

I had the exact same thing two days ago when i came back to the isle, granted i had 39.4 degrees fever at the time so its all abit hazy but i managed to solve it

#

did you guys make a fresh install of the server?

#

or did you continue on his existing one

lean shadow
#

I did validate with steamcmd just in case

#

one of the problems was he was editing files on his desktop instead of the install directory of the game

#

but I pointed that out

ornate cedar
#

what did the cmd log message say?

lean shadow
#

AND THE ISLE DOESN'T ACTUALLY USE THE RCON PROTOCOL :V

#

the server console did not change, as if no connection was ever made

#

another reason I think its the router

ornate cedar
#

It would seem that way, either router or firewall on the pc but i am gonna assume you checked that too.

lean shadow
#

I honestly forgot to check firewall

#

I disable windows firewall on my server, thats a good call out

ornate cedar
#

yeah i do the same xD

#

thats a good start i guess, disable it and try again. worst case it doesnt work and it can just be flicked on again

lean shadow
#

I disconnected a bit ago

maiden dew
#

i guess i messed up something if i created evrima server and it is showing on list, both for me and for friends. but it have 0 ping and when trying to connect it says "Data acquisition failed" tried find help on google but no luck
Server is installed with SteamCMD and started with batch file all following this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2952501611

ornate cedar
#

What does the cmd logs say?

maiden dew
ornate cedar
#

"Data acquisition failed" usually means something in the server isnt properly configured

maiden dew
#

yea im trying to find that problem. i should have correct ports opened, i also found guide saying that it could be ICMP not being opened, so opened that as well. but still doesnt work

ornate cedar
#

do you have a firewall on the pc ur hosting on

#

also what does the cmd log say

#

add -log to the startup script if you arent getting a cmdwindow

maiden dew
#

yea one sec. trying transfer the log over 😅

ornate cedar
#

Looks like its running

#

What about the firewall on the pc?

#

if it is on, try turning it off and restart the server

maiden dew
#

ports should be open. i tried turning it off just to test if that was an issue

#

had a friend try connect they get same issue

ornate cedar
#

mh mh

#

did you restart your serverpc anything?

maiden dew
#

yes

ornate cedar
#

what ports have you opened

maiden dew
#

7777-7780 cus i planned to have a few to test stuff. 5555 for rcon

ornate cedar
#

what about 10000

maiden dew
#

uhh

ornate cedar
#

and 8888

maiden dew
#

oh

#

that could be why

ornate cedar
#

yeah most likely something there being the issue hopefully

#

easy solves if it is

maiden dew
#

yea im walking doggo now. will test when getting home. thank you so far

i think though i canged query port to 7778 as router had old config from legacy server. i mean in the game.ini

ornate cedar
#

Got nothing to lose, can always change it back

maiden dew
#

yea i will try that

maiden dew
#

i know there is alot but keeping them all just in case. but still 0 ping, data acquistion failed

#

alright. will try that

#

nope did not help

amber fox
#

is there a way to get the information on population or que of a given server outside of the game?

#

like an API access for server pop / que's (probably just current population)

novel hull
amber fox
maiden dew
#

nvm that was there as well just didnt see it :D

maiden dew
#

now i might have gotten a step further. i does not say data acquisition failed. but i get disconnected with this window:

azure harness
#

Try connecting with the local IP address if you’re self hosting

#

Your friends will still use the public

maiden dew
#

they are getting same message

#

i read a guide with port things. and it tells to go canyouseeme.org and if 7777 is not giving a result it means that something else is using it. which i find hard to believe as the pc is freshly installed with windows. but i guess i will try change port to something else

inner dragon
#

are you behind CGNAT

#

or using pppoe and assigned a public IP from your providers gateway

maiden dew
#

i have static ip

#

the CGNAT im not sure about

inner dragon
#

static public IP?

maiden dew
#

uhm yes

#

i can host legacy server fine

#

just evrima is bugging me

inner dragon
#

whats your queue port?

maiden dew
#

1000

#

10000

inner dragon
#

and there's a rule for that as well on the router and server?

maiden dew
inner dragon
#

hm yeah that's definitely correct

maiden dew
#

i know there is alot of ports opened but i didnt wanna delete any of those i sat up in case they were correct etc

inner dragon
#

doesnt matter unless the router has a max you can add obviously

maiden dew
#

yea i have a max of 128 rules

#

for the ipv4

#

the nat is correct? port restricted cone is what is selected

inner dragon
#

from a google (never heard of port restricted cone before) that is correct

#

on the server run
netstat -aof | findstr :7777 and netstat -aof | findstr :10000

maiden dew
#

alright one moment

#

should it be while server is running or should i just close it?

inner dragon
#

while running, open command prompt as admin and paste those one after another

maiden dew
#

is it supposed to write anything?

inner dragon
#

also, are you starting the server with the epic online keys in the arguments?

inner dragon
maiden dew
#

oh yea. i changed the ports in case they were unexpectedly used by something else

#

port: 7780 and queryport 27018

inner dragon
#

if nothing shows from that netstat nothing is using that port

maiden dew
#

yea that is why i just remembered i chaged port

inner dragon
#

if you're running 7788 on server side your port forward external would be 7777 and internal would be 7788 and hope your router can do that correctly

maiden dew
inner dragon
#

it's not using 27018 for queue

#

7780 is good though

maiden dew
#

i changed the queryport to 27018. cus that helped when i had problems with legacy but i put it back to default (10000)

inner dragon
#

it's not bound to that as per the netstat

maiden dew
#

yea thats why i wanted it back to default so can solve if i did something or what it is

#

server is starting again

inner dragon
#

yeah so couple things I'd do

#

go back to defaults, 7777 for game and 10000 for queuery or 7778 for query

#

how are you starting the server command wise?

maiden dew
#

using the batch file from the server guide setup from pinned messages

#

this:

@echo off
REM Start TheIsleServer with the specified parameters
set SERVER_EXECUTABLE=TheIsleServer.exe
set LOG_FLAG=-log
set
INI_PARAMETERS=-ini:Engine:[EpicOnlineServices]:DedicatedServerClientId=xyza7891g
k5PRo3J7G9puCJGFJjmEguW
-ini:Engine:[EpicOnlineServices]:DedicatedServerClientSecret=pKWl6t5i9NJK8gTpVlAx
zENZ65P8hYzodV8Dqe5Rlc8
%SERVER_EXECUTABLE% %LOG_FLAG% %INI_PARAMETERS%
pause
inner dragon
#

hm, that's correct but kinda weird batch setup

maiden dew
#

yea well. 😅

#

i wanted to use whats from here

#

even i had another one

inner dragon
#

might be worth making a new batch with the steam post layout

cls
echo Protecting isle server from crashes...
title The Isle Server - Your Server Name
:TheIsle
echo (%time%) Checking for updates...
start /wait C:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\theisleserver +login anonymous +app_update 412680 -beta evrima +quit
echo (%time%) isle server started.
start /wait C:\theisleserver\TheIsleServer.exe ?Port=7777 -ini:Engine:[EpicOnlineServices]:DedicatedServerClientId=xyza7891gk5PRo3J7G9puCJGFJjmEguW -ini:Engine:[EpicOnlineServices]:DedicatedServerClientSecret=pKWl6t5i9NJK8gTpVlAxzENZ65P8hYzodV8Dqe5Rlc8 | set /P "="
echo (%time%) WARNING: isle server closed or crashed, restarting in 1 minute.
timeout /t 60
goto TheIsle```
#

obviously change the locations to where your server and steamcmd actually is

maiden dew
#

that is also what i have

inner dragon
#

it's doing the same thing but the arguments are direct in the start line instead of as a variable in the batch runtime

maiden dew
#

i just have -log in mine

inner dragon
#

same outcome?

maiden dew
#

ye

#

actually. 1 sec

inner dragon
#

no worries, gunna take the dog out real quick

maiden dew
#

i tried intalling the server directly in the steamCMD folder so no adding "force_install_dir" - that made it install as steam usualyl do. under steamapps/common/appname.
so im little confused as what to put in the bat file. if i point just to the steamCMD folder, or the steamapp/common ?

#

it do look like the query port is not open for some reason. let me check the firewall rules once again

image.png
brisk merlin
#

@ornate cedar have time?

inner dragon
#

alright I'm back, netstat shows prcoesses bound to that port not firewall ports. the process will bind regardless of the firewall rules

#

I'm also wondering if this is related to epic online not liking the port setup since that's throwing the error instead of your client directly

#

sure would be nice if a dev stepped in from time to time in the server hosting channel

maiden dew
#

no idea

inner dragon
#

also to answer your question, the file patchs for that other batch file would be the path to steamcmd binary and the root install folder of the server in steamapp/common/<folder name>

maiden dew
#

yea to use the other batch i renamed folder without spaces as it caused issues

inner dragon
#

if it has spaces you have the double quote the full path

#

"C:\folder with spaces\theisle\"

maiden dew
#

yea then it came up with error of what was after the patch

#

ie the ?port=7777 and the anti cheat lines

inner dragon
#

arguments are within the double quote as well

maiden dew
#

this how it end up and it is working 😂 i mean the batch. still not able to join it

inner dragon
#

I don't see spaces in names

maiden dew
#

no cus i renamed it

#

it was "The isle dedicated server"

inner dragon
#

ah yeah avoid spaces in names like the plague

#

whats your game.ini config look like for server port and queue port?

maiden dew
#

copy from the server setup guide

inner dragon
#

you didn't change any port bindings?

maiden dew
#

nope

#

trying keep it all as it is in guide then it should work

#

only port mentioned in game.ini is rcon port and queueport

inner dragon
#

o yeah the ini only has queue port

maiden dew
#

QueuePort=10000
RconPort=8888

inner dragon
#

when you leave ini as default and the batch as ?port=7777 still nothing?

#

default queue is 1000

maiden dew
#

uhm

#

not according to the guide

inner dragon
#

as per steam doc, I don't bother looking at the pdf

maiden dew
#

ah okay

#

so i put the QueuePort= in the Game.ini to 1000?

inner dragon
#

that's where I would start, I personally run 7778 as queue

#

but 1000 is what the steam post has

maiden dew
#

my head spin 😂

#

i saw a post stating that the router must support hairpinnin to host evrima server?

shell quail
#

im going crazy, im using shockbyte to host a server, how on earth do i get it to show up on the evrima server listings?

maiden dew
#

well

#

im inclined to give up

#

thanks for the help though Rum

inner dragon
inner dragon
# maiden dew thanks for the help though Rum

unfortunately I can't help beyond what I've seen and done on my end, the dev's don't post anything for server side of the game. probably only care about offical since that's the bread and butter

shell quail
#

its a good point

#

which brings me to my second question lol

inner dragon
#

alot only do legacy

shell quail
#

whats the best server hosting for evirm (i wanna be the crocodile lol)

inner dragon
#

I don't think "the best" is a thing, whatever provider sells what you're looking for at the price point you want is gunna be your best bet

brisk merlin
#

or is there someone else that can watch with me

#

installing the server

inner dragon
#

watch you install it? there's one command for that

clever arch
#

@inner dragon im currently contacting my provider about doing what you said with the DSTNAT

inner dragon
#

nice, hopefully they're able to help you out

clever arch
#

i hope so if not ill be changing provider any suggestions?

shell quail
#

right i think bisect hosting does evrima

inner dragon
#

I'm in the US, unfortunately not familiar with UK providers besides Vodafone if that's still a thing

maiden dew
#

I uaed gtx gaming before

clever arch
inner dragon
#

well, they were a big F1 sponsor back in the day so can't be a bad gamble lol

clever arch
#

@inner dragon they have sorted it for me thank you also do you know how to use rcon?

inner dragon
#

Nice! that’s awesome they got it setup. So RCON isn’t oddly within source RCON standards. I’d recommend picking your favorite script for the isle evirma RCON and going from there. The commands for RCON on the isle are almost useless though so fair warning

clever arch
#

i was mainly thinking for server restarts

inner dragon
#

I still have yet to find an RCON command that does a restart

#

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction if it does lol

clever arch
#

yeah ive noticed servers doing it but unsure how

Well there’s multiple ways of doing it. A scheduled task on the server itself would be the easiest imo

How to add dining storage to server?

inner dragon
#

I would assume it's simply copying the user's data file (saved as their steamID64 for the file name) and then storing it in a different location. when a user selects their stored dino it probably copies the backed up file back to the server BUT that's purely my guess as there's definitely no mod or RCON to do that to my knowledge

sick lava
#

Anyone know how to fix server timeout ive got the Game.ini and stuff set up the cmd prompt thing loads and sayes session started successfully then it will connect to my server and say timeout

#

And its showing like of the same server in the thing

image.png
inner dragon
#

That’s interesting

sick lava
#

got it back down to 1 server but timeout issue still relevant

#

I had 5 because my DNS serever was an Ip and my IPv4 was the routers not my PCs

inner dragon
#

start verifying your server is open to the internet, outside in

inner dragon
# slate shore How to add dining storage to server?

just tested the process on my server.

Player must safe log or the data wont matter (and will be imported as corrupted).
Copy the player data out of the Saved/PlayerData folder
Label it into a folder however you wabt, when the player wants to "import" it they'll have to log out - once logged out you copy the saved files back into the PlayerData folder and they can log back in

#

So not really a mod or plugin, just a process you will have to code however you want to make it work

#

the files are saved by players steamid64 so to code handling that wouldn't be too bad but it'll be alot of work if you're not familiar with any languages that can automate something like that on server side and "client" side

sick lava
inner dragon
#

well the easiest I've found is telnet to your public IP using the queue port, it should instantly close the connection instead of throw a refusal/timeout

#

you could do a UDP port scan too but the telnet check is far faster

brisk merlin
#

now it shows

terse tree
#

Know this - you will see errors in the log when it starts - this is NORMAL.
The issue most people have is you can't connect if you are hosting the server on the SAME network that you are on. You must set hairpinning network adjustments specific to your router/equipment for it to work correctly in addition to port forwarding for external (those outside of your home) to join.

brisk merlin
#

i have a separte pc with vmware

terse tree
#

That's great - still requires hairpinning to route the traffic from your gaming pc within the same network back to the server.

inner dragon
#

I’d start with verifying your console log shows a connection attempt outside of your network. Then work on hairpin if your router doesn’t do that like normal

slow flare
inner dragon
slow flare

is that a bat file or is that in the shortcut?

inner dragon

That’s the command in the bat file

okay i ran that in cmd and it launched

can the speed of dinos affect my connection to the server?

inner dragon

I would guess the faster you move the more packets needing to be sent so kinda

clever kernel

for some reason it happens with carno

but not galli

#

i modified the nocturnal mutation to give over 60% speed buff

#

it was also thuderstorm when i was testing carno

#

could that also affect it?

#

what i achieved with galli was 93 km/h

clever kernel
#

to be known, having 2 big speed buffs at the same time, disconnects u from the server. Photo tissue(or Nocturnal) + hydrodynamic, both set over at 69%.
