[gaunt spruce]

I know what a flush interval is. The game writes from memory. As soon as you see it in the console the log file will be updated

[haughty edge]

🤔 👆🏻

[novel hull]

Then add it there

Remove their ban from the banlist file

Lowering the hearbeat requires a more satable and faster connections, i recommend increasing it instead.

[hollow iris]

But then what would you do to make the queue let in players faster?

[night pasture]

Thanks! Was wondering if there's a fail safe like that if a staff member bans me as an owner

[novel hull]

You can't make the queue faster. It depends on how many players are in the server, so you probably have to kick the person that is in the server the longest

[novel hull]

Iirc you can't ban other admins

[night pasture]

OH great

[night pasture]

One solution i saw is kicking players who are too long in the skin creator/menu, kicking them if they didn't spawn

[hollow iris]

You don't understand the problem.
There's an 100+ player queue and the server population drops because the players are disconnecting faster than the queue puts them back in

[agile sun]

anyone know how to add more colors in the menu or cutsome colors

[novel hull]

Well as you can see what the devs gave us as options, the option you are asking for is not there 🤷‍♂️

[novel hull]

Yes that is what i am doing aswell, same goes for bush growers. Afk too long in-game and you get kicked

[night pasture]

as long as its safe log kick

[novel hull]

Safe log kick? There is only a regular kick

[stuck pecan]

guys i dont have a "TheIsle-Shipping.log" i only have an .exe

[novel hull]

Its in the logs folder...

[stuck pecan]

Yes ik its not there

Thats why im saying I dont have one 😝

theres a normal just called
TheIsle.log

but not TheIsle-Shipping.log

[naive onyx]

it's just theisle.log now

[stuck pecan]

Ohhh

[golden halo]

Hi, can someone explain to me, or does anyone know how to configure the dino AI on a server? Where and how many of which dinos should spawn, etc.?

[radiant patio]

how do i host a server yall?

[lofty birch]

Hey, my server have at 30 players + problems with rubberbanding.. ram & cpu is top, who have a plan? 😭

[novel hull]

Upgrade server

[lofty birch]

I Upgrade now du 24 gb ram and i edit the engine.ini to load full map with that = 0 (i hope you know? 😄 )

That work i think, server run good in this moment wtf

[novel hull]

Ah its a vps? Then you will run into performance issues yes

Shared resources are not that great for cpu intense games

[lofty birch]

Yeah

Now work good

Last Problem now is the favorite problem.. dont know whats wrong 😭

[pastel turret]

Whenever i try to host my server to play for fun it just stays on a black screen. Anyone know how to fix this?

[past sierra]

I have a question for everyone. I want to know if it's typical for some AI dinosaurs that I spawn with /spawn to not move at all. Some of the AI dinos I spawn on my server don't move at all, yet I've noticed on other servers that they can travel around the map regularly and even attack players.

For instance, when I create a Triceratops, it remains still. Additionally, I would like to know if it is possible to have AI dinosaurs spawn automatically without requiring an admin to use /spawn in-game.

I'm grateful.

[merry urchin]

how to disable bullfrog on the server?

[half crown]

<@&933486433342222376>

[hybrid socket]

This is due to those Dino's not having a default controller attached. The devs have not implemented the system for those dinos to be "normal" AI and walk around etc.

[real moss]

👋

[gleaming river]

hey how do i change my server from the evrima branch to hordetesting can anyone help with that 🙂 ?

[half crown]

Ht stuff was moved to Evrima

[gleaming river]

oh ok crazy see it haha

[stuck pecan]

you need to have someone or a bot run the command it cant be automated through other means afaik

[stuck pecan]

do i connect a bot that grabs logs into "TheIsle.log"?

cuz it used to be a shipping.log but that no existé

[quasi ermine]

yes they changed log file in december update

[stuck pecan]

thought so, ty

hey messed up servers its not js me right?

[quasi ermine]

yes AGAIN...

[stuck pecan]

😭

i updated both my server and game client and cant join any server nor my own :(

[quasi ermine]

No proper version of update for dedicated servers on Windows, cant join in after update with 0.21.350 client.
Im trying to update linux version rn...

[golden flare]

Only Linux build is working atm

[haughty edge]

Triceratops, Troodon, Deino, and Beipi I belive are missing the AI functionality as it is likely not built into the game yet.

[quasi ermine]

sorry to ping you @raven cairn, but can you tell it to devs? They never ansver here to us from unofficials... We cant update because there is no valid update for windows server...

[opal sinew]

awesome...

well I feel less stupid that I couldnt get it to update the server... guess no one plays XD

[warm stag]

https://tenor.com/view/vacation-vacation-time-cuba-drinks-pool-gif-5706635753044920258

[opal sinew]

hypsilophodon
dryosaurus
gallimimus
tenontosaurus
maiasaura
diabloceratops
pteranodon
omniraptor
dilophosaurus
carnotaurus
ceratosaurus
allosaurus
tyrannosaurus

are the dinos you can spawn in that have AI and will move

I believe there are mods you can get that will spawn them in automatically otherwise you have to do it - but they last until AI is wiped or server restart so its not that big of a deal to throw a bunch down and itll last quite awhile. (important to note, the ones who dont move will not dissapear on an AI wipe - you have to kill them or restart the server) Some of the non-moving ones are actually helpful because they dont wander off or get stuck somewhere - and the AI can see deinos under the water and will run away so I like to leave various sized AI deinos (or others that dont move) scattered around for them to find and eat as crocs have it the hardest in the last few updates.

[quasi grail]

Can we ping anyone else then Lucky who appears to be away?

Not like the entire community on Windows servers is waiting for a fix...

[eager yew]

that would be great if we can ^^ but who can?!

[arctic seal]

whoever has the balls lol

[quasi grail]

Well, on it. Nothing to lose 😛

Hopefully see you soon, tell my dog he's been the best in case I would go missing

[opal sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-idk-kristen-bell-modern-hero-gif-14213498

[eager yew]

i will tell him buddy, u will make it 😇 🫶

[naive parcel]

but also, why is everyone scared to ping admins or otherwise?

[eager yew]

idk? maybe they think they will get banned for spaming a dev or admin xD

[tardy panther]

If you get banned, we can all petition for your return

[opal sinew]

its literally the first rule of the server not to ping them?

though technically punchpacket is exempt according to the rule..

[naive parcel]

Oh I forgot about that rule lol. I’m rarely here but been here for years if that makes sense.

[eager yew]

but who else can we text the problem we have, and only they can fix?! ..

[naive parcel]

Eh, things operate strangely here. Regardless it would be nice if things just worked more often than not lol

[eager yew]

Because it doesn't just affect 5 or 10 players, but I think several thousand... that's why it's so "urgent"...and I don't think anyone wants to bother the developers or anything, they just want to play.

And I just don't understand it, there are more than five developers seemingly online, but none of them are paying any attention... let alone a server admin or Discord admin seeing or hearing anything about this. Isn't there a community admin responsible for this kind of thing?!

[tardy panther]

Yeah if they know it's an issue it would be nice if they made an announcment saying they at least know its an issue

[naive parcel]

a small amount of open communication would probably go a long way here

[tardy panther]

Yeeeep

Punch is a dev, right?

[novel oasis]

Windows failed ?

[opal sinew]

to be fair, I dont think they really monitor much here in that way - they dont really offer tech support much on unofficials because we have control of the files - right or wrong

[eager yew]

Yes, I agree with you! But who should or can communicate a little here?

[crude tide]

I dont think they would mind getting tagged. Cuz so many people are affected by this. And no one from the server in power have said anything 😄

[quasi grail]

All Windows servers are down. Build wasn't updated so server are stuck with old version

[naive parcel]

Maybe a proper community manager of sorts.

[tardy panther]

@hoary cave Hey! Sorry for the ping, but it seems the last update really broke the game for community servers on Windows. From what I'm seeing, they can't access the correct build to download! We'd all like a little bit of clarity on if this has been recognized as an issue or not.

[eager yew]

Isn't there one like that here?

[tardy panther]

🫡

[naive parcel]

Dunno.

[crude tide]

🫡

[quasi grail]

• this is online game, so you have things like ongoing support, devops (person looking at server infra entire time), support roles.

[quasi ermine]

i pinged @topaz radish like this days ago and still waiting for answer too

[tardy panther]

Oh I'm not expecting a direct answer. Just making sure they know.

[quasi grail]

I dmed him a moment ago, wil try one other one in a sec.

But got positive info from Superlunary that he will let them know about issues

[quasi ermine]

thy never answer... neither in server community discord...

[eager yew]

Can't we link Discord or Server Manager/admin here? Or better yet, all of them so at least someone sees it? This can't be right, can it?

[eager yew]

u got a dm from a dev???

[tardy panther]

No, lol

I'd have a heart attack and a half if I ever did :wheeze:

[eager yew]

oh ok ^^

and another dev's online ^^ are they gonna wake up now? xD

[tardy panther]

I figure we won't know until an update/announcement drops.

[crude tide]

Hahah i just saw that aswell and was like: OH HOLD UP! Is something about to happen or? 😄

[eager yew]

yea hahah 😄

[quasi grail]

Got a response from one of the devs. He will inform others about the issue 🤞

[eager yew]

really bro??

[quasi grail]

Yeah

[eager yew]

don't make fun with us bro

sei mal nicht so misstrauisch bro ^^

[velvet sage]

ja stimmt lol

[eager yew]

vertrau drauf ^^ jetzt sind schon 8 devs online

[raven cairn]

@quasi ermine Please remember to not ping the devs as stated in rule 1. I know it's frustrating but we'll have to wait for the devs to acknolowdge and fix the issue. Since Punch has been already pinged, I'm sure he'll pass it on internally. But I'll make sure to let him know too. Please be patient.

@eager yew@velvet sage Please only use english in this server.

[velvet sage]

i hope so

[eager yew]

oh sry my fault ❤️

[gaunt spruce]

The windows server missed an update

[crude tide]

our server owner found a way to get us to play 😄 nice!

[eager yew]

how? ^^

dont know how, but we are in and playing 😄

[eager yew]

lucky you ^^ have fun bro

Whos your server owner?

[alpine ledge]

linux servers work

[sacred wing]

The isle cant support more than 100 players on linux

[opal sinew]

100? ours started lagging at like 50 on linux

[alpine ledge]

i said they work not that they work well lmao

[eager yew]

🤣

[waxen edge]

just say you dont know how to use linux

I dont know how to use linux

ya got me

well im happy your honest

[spare plaza]

Hey guys, if you're running on WIndows just do that until they fix it 🙂

[novel hull]

Can the devs disable the ai blueprint logs already for public builds? It fills the logs crazy much this update

[sand sundial]

has it worked?

[spare plaza]

It does work yes 🙂

[gaunt spruce]

Just disable them yourself

[sand sundial]

dope

[novel hull]

Any idea how?

[gaunt spruce]

Yes just search through my messages here. I posted the log configs.

[novel hull]

Oh damn, i see. Awesome work man! Appreciate it alot!

[naive parcel]

Thank you, seems more servers will be running soon

[sand sundial]

did it work for u?

[winged stag]

Any one getting this error? I've setup a server and me and everyone else is getting this when trying to connect?

[naive parcel]

Try the above fix that HEX posted almost an hour ago

Worked for a server I play on

[winged stag]

Yeah I tried this, still getting the same error. All other servers I connect to just say "game server issue"

[naive parcel]

Weird.

[winged stag]

I was gonna order a Ryzen 9 X3D dedi box for this tonight but I'm not gonna bother until I get it working on my home PC first at least

Gonna cost me an arm

A lot of people complaining about AI not spawning so I wanna order a monster machine to be able to handle high players and lots of AI

This is frustraaaaating though

[opal sinew]

yes this is normal

[winged stag]

Well I have no idea why I can't connect even after doing that fix that was posted. All the ports are open etc. Weird.

Wahooooooooooo

I fixed the damn thing

[tardy gull]

What did you do 🙂

[haughty edge]

Devs - did you guys break unofficial servers? I updated it and now its down: (My client is also updated. Today at 11:05am PDT.)

[tardy gull]

please see #server-hosting message

[brazen willow]

@woeful marsh did u see this

[woeful marsh]

yes mam

[haughty edge]

@tardy gull Saw the HEX post - yes it worked. Thanks!

[boreal smelt]

Affirming the above fix does work

[velvet pumice]

You're amazing, bro

[cyan snow]

can anybody help me fix this damn server, ive tried for 2 days to get it to work and nothing is working, i thought i'd have everything all okay but its rly difficult

[bitter hearth]

Is there a way to use RCON to out a message in global chat?

[thin arrow]

Maybe someone can help me out here, since it would take ages to read this full channel here:P
I want to setup a small Ubuntu Server for some friends and me for the Isle Evrima. The Server itself is running fine.
We are in total like 20 peeps, who wanna play The Isle RP wise on that server.
Now we have the issue, that players who are playing Rexes e.g. are starving or it takes ages for them to feed up with just boars etc.
Is there a way to spawn other AI automaticly? Cause only spawn it by hand is kinda annoying

[winged stag]

Yes in game.ini increase the ai spawn

You can also use something for max ai at any given time

Im testing on a x3d ryzen cpu and managed to get a huge amount of ai working so far

Although if your server specs are not expensive it will kill your gameplay experience

Im on phone rn so cant say the exact lines in game.ini as at work

[thin arrow]

For me it only spawns Boars, Goats, Deers, chickens etc. but nothing like Maias, Tento, etc. Only the Gallis in HL and the Dibbles at the Delta. Bit yeah if you only have the Dibbles as potential prey, everyone is only hanging arround int he delta like on HordeTesting. I would like peeps to wander arround the map for AI

[winged stag]

Mine spawns rabbits, crabs, meerkat things in the hole things, deers, goats, pigs, turtles, little green packs, fish etc

Seen all sorts all over the place

And its more dense too i havent seen this on other servers

[thin arrow]

Yeah but not AI that feeds you well, a full grown rex need like 30 board to get to full.

[winged stag]

Exactly why im pushing the ai to big packs rather than non existent

[thin arrow]

And that is exactly what I would like to avoid. Performance is not the issue for the server. I use a big machine for it, where I host Test System for work etc. a HPE DL385 Gen 11 with 64 Core Epyc CPU and 512 GB Ram. But with tons of small AI it could get a problem for clients with weak hardware.

[winged stag]

The epyc cpu is not good because of all the cores, its the per core performance and x3d cache that make a huge difference. It will massively out perform an epyc any day. An epyc cpu is good at doing multiple things but there reasoning for use case is different. Not a bad cpu for the job though. Again with the ram its about low latency and speed anything over 32gb is probably over kill for a server.

If users have weak hardware they will suffer playing this game regardless. Again server choking will effect user fps.

Im expecting to see evrima using 1 core mainly for a server. Rather than spreading it across cores. Its usually the case with most game servers.

[thin arrow]

We are talking about 20 players max, so no high CPU Singlecore Performance is needed.

But yeah I was more look for spawning other ID beside the small critters. You can spawn Maias etc vial cli command, but that is not what we wanna do all the time 🙂 More fun when they would randomly spawn

[velvet pumice]

the replays still have 30mins BUG, just hope official can fix it~

[tribal wren]

Hello, I have a problem on my dedicated server. With each new connection, every player starts at midnight, regardless of the time of other players.

[dapper geyser]

Hello, i want to create my own Server and i want to learn how to use a injectable client or like managed client to control certain functions on the server, i have setup rcon and a rcon client / reciever but its only limited functionality, i cant find any reference to more. Help is appreciate it

[lofty birch]

anyone a idea? My Server dont stay in the favs 🙁

[dapper geyser]

What i want is

Edit player data f.ex because .sav is now encrypted wotn work to just edit that

workarond=?

[deep steppe]

You'll want to either code, or pay someone to code a custom bot to drop corpses or Ai dinos to keep these bigger playables alive.

Nvm, just saw you joined norden. Youre in the right place.

[dapper geyser]

do you have the norden inv link or how can i find?

[thin arrow]

Yeah thankfully a very nice community here that gave me an hint. I am too dumb for coding stuff like that myself tbh

[tall galleon]

Can some one copy that Skript in here please? Because it’s a Screenshot

[opal sinew]

you shouldnt need it now

[glad cliff]

Someone know how to fix this? I wanna create two server, i give the first server 7777, it works, but when I give the second server 7778 port. It doesn’t work

[stuck pecan]

which ports have you opened on your router/modem
just 7777? 7777 and 7778? 7777 - 7780 (what i reccomend)

[oblique swallow]

for the server running on port 7778 you also have to specify your queryPort=7778 in your Game.ini

[quasi ermine]

We are experiencing Lag spikes on our server from 0.21.344 update.
RAM is OK, CPU is OK, but ping will raise to sky and we need restart server.
Any idea what to check <@&818552355796287508> ?
thanks

[hollow iris]

The current version is 0.21.350, are you sure you are running the correct server build?

Also keep a look on your AI numbers in case that you have AI active,not that you have too much off it. Worst case try disabling AI and see if it helps

[quasi ermine]

yes, we running 350. but problems still occur. Everything exactly the same as before version 344 but with laggs after 344..

[real moss]

👋

[past sierra]

Hey guys, I have a question. Does anyone here have a bot that can automatically spawn AI dinosaurs on the server, or know someone who makes bots like this? I really want this kind of bot.

[peak zinc]

Hey if you find this information out, can you let me know? Been looking for something that does that

Is there a code specifc to spawning fish AI in here?

[gaunt spruce]

My team is actively making a "mod" that can do this as one of it's features. It is not free.

[winged stag]

Since latest update server doesnt show up to connect to. Running on windows. Anybody else having this issue?

[austere tree]

Working on a little Server Launcher

[gaunt spruce]

I'll do you one better.

[austere tree]

Nice is that the mod you talked about ?

[gaunt spruce]

Yeah of course. Also don't stop what you're working on. I was just pulling your leg haha.

[dapper geyser]

hey, that looks amazing, will it be open source or paid? if paid where can we obtain it, or can u help to rebuild or give me a direction how to build such ai bot management tool

[gaunt spruce]

Unfortunately it is never going to be open source.

It is going to be paid for on our patreon for the early access phase. It will require an EULA and NDA to be signed.

[dapper geyser]

Makese total sense! i was just curious, could you give me some direction to build that my own, are there some docs or something to follow? I would also subscribe to use ur program i just want to build my own as dev :D

[gaunt spruce]

It's built in C++ using an SDK. I unfortunately cannot disclose how we made the mod following our NDA.

It's just Unreal Engine modding with our lead developer being highly skilled enough to design the app in C++. He was inspired by my web design.

It has taken hundreds of hours. There's plenty of guides online that help with unreal modding. It does have a large learning curve to it unfortunately.

[dapper geyser]

ah i understand, thank you alot!

[gaunt spruce]

We have more info regarding our mod here:

[Going to redact this since I this might violate the rules even if it's for information]

[dapper geyser]

thank you alot!

[stuck pecan]

Does anyone have any information on an evrima bot for logs

[agile sun]

anyone know how norden added the austro command to spawn it?

[violet forge]

if you want some help you can dm me, i got the sdk aswell

[quasi ermine]

We are experiencing Lag spikes on our server from 0.21.344 update.
RAM is OK, CPU is OK, but ping will raise to sky and we need restart server. We running on dedicated server with windows using the GSM. There are running 2 legacy servers on that machine too and no problems at legacy servers, so probably no hw issues/windows issue. We also restarted a windows server to be sure but didnt help.

No configuration wasd changed before update to version 0.21.344

Any idea what to check <@&818552355796287508> ? Didnt get response from yesterday 😕
thanks

[gaunt spruce]

Tech support role doesn’t help here usually. I know punch has that role which he might help. But other than that almost all the time tech support is for #🔧-legacy-troubleshooting-🔧 #🔧-evrima-troubleshooting-🔧

[quasi ermine]

well i cant ping or dm devs or I get Mute again or ban. I DMed punch and he is not answering and also my friend is waiting for reply from him more than 2 weeks.
So tell me, what should I do ? My last option is <@&933486433342222376> but I doubt they can help me

[left crane]

Have you contacted your provider at all?

Punch is busy with a lot of things, so it's understandable as to why he would take a while.

[quasi ermine]

Thanks for fast reply 💖
We running dedicated server and server is running smoothly. Also as I wrote, we running also 2 legacy servers on it and no laggs even with 150ppl in. There is no problem at all with server itself

Thats why i tried tech support here, i can understand Punch is busy... But we wanna report the problem and try to solve it, not just waiting another XXX weeks/months until next "random" fix that can actually help us...

[left crane]

There's unfortunately not much that I can personally do. There's no dedicated role or person that I could direct you to other than Punch, and you've already contacted him. I hate to say it, but your best bet is to be patient.

Evrima is quite a bit different than Legacy so that could also weigh in some factors.

[quasi ermine]

Can you at least ask to somebody from devs if they can check our problem please?
We are not some random small server with fews acounts in, we already registered more than 8 000 active steam accounts on our server in last 30 days after start the Evrima server and our server is mostly at 200/200 players at a prime time 🙁

[left crane]

I unfortunately don't have a direct line to the devs. I have the same amount of contact you do.

[quasi ermine]

so no one here on Discord who I can ping knows how to help me, can't mention my problem to the developers or escalate it anywhere, and my only hope is one person in the whole world who is busy and I have to wait until he reads the DM I sent him.
just great...

[hollow iris]

The only thing I can recommend is to disable AI and wipe it at the time where the lags start to happen and see if that helps.
Else it may be a bug which is specific to your hardware or so

[quasi ermine]

wiping ai/corpses not helping ofc...

[hollow iris]

Also completely disabling the spawning logic?

🙁

Then I also have no other ideas anymore

[quasi ermine]

well we can try disable spawning, maybe last option... maybe last thing we didnt tested yet

but no problem before .344 version with that

[warm ridge]

To backup some of what's voju is explaining, is that wiping AIs, wiping corpses, does not help at all, to give full context, our server starts at 6AM CET, and the ping is only slowly increasing with time (of course as the players join), but its getting to a point where its unplayable, reaching 200+ pings with not even 100 players connected.

While before the latest update, we were able to run 200+ players with 1 daily restart only (6AM) with no problems at all, so either we did fked up somewhere (which is unlikely, because barely any settings were changed beside some MZ settings and AI spawn rate reduction), or the update did something that we're not able to find out/fix by ourselves.

The other server owners either don't want to answer or are too busy for that, or wish to keep this as a secret ingredient, which is fair enough, but some official support would have been appreciated.

This is what Voju means 🙏

[gaunt spruce]

There’s likely a memory leak with the game

If you’re running Windows doing that “project version” bypass could be a likely cause. That server would have differences between the server and client.

[quasi ermine]

lags were even before .350

[warm ridge]

The project version patch shared by HEX is not a thing anymore, we removed it a day after adding it, as windows servers are now able to run without it

[novel hull]

Had the same issue before aswell with over 150 players, no issue now

[uneven ridge]

Does anyone have problems with low spwan fish, and do you have any solutions?

[warm ridge]

Yes, and no, no solution found so far

[opal sinew]

Are you running on Linux?

Linux tends to start lagging around 100 players in Evrima even on good hardware.

[opal sinew]

Try turning off small ai - Crabs, rabbits, pterodactyls, chicken etc. We turned them off and have fish everywhere. You can spawn in small/baby Dino ai to give the littles something to hunt.

[quasi ermine]

nope, windows

[uneven ridge]

ok i will try tysm

[uneven ridge]

May I see your AI settings to see which ones are best suited for fish spawning?

[pseudo turtle]

Add this to your engine.ini

[ConsoleVariables]
wp.Runtime.EnableServerStreaming=0
wp.Runtime.EnableServerStreamingOut=0

[quasi ermine]

of course we have this...
And as i said, nothing changed in game/engine ini after .344 update and then started lagging
Before that we had 200/200 in prime time with no lags

[violet forge]

what do your memorylogs say?

[slim trout]

is there someone who would wanna tell or teach me how to add color palettes and or AI dinos to my server ?

[stuck pecan]

have a bot run /spawn [dino]

can anyone DM me about making a custom bot

[slim trout]

ah ok ty
i know nothing about it and i would like to add some things but im new to that

[stuck pecan]

yeah i normally js spawn them myself and let them freeroam XD

[slim trout]

yea but they not moving they just standing there no fun for members as example

[violet forge]

some ai dinos move though

[gaunt spruce]

That’s because some have AI controllers, others do not.

[slim trout]

yea ik and cera and omni and dilo even fighting back which is fun but yea

[stuck pecan]

yeah avoid pachy trikes, troodons, stegos

[slim trout]

ok ty

[quasi ermine]

nothing until we let server crash (not everytime). Then it just say generic error with memory allocation aka x000000000 and

[deft wharf]

Hello, I wanted to host my own server, but I’ve tried everything and I can’t. Could someone help me

[shy trout]

👋

[winged stag]

Well i am stumped. Got evrima server working spot on with my home pc. Ordered a monster bare metal server from ovh and for the love of god i cannot get the server to show up. All ports forwarded etc. Rip 🤦‍♂️

[warm ridge]

Start the actual game once on that OVH PC, it'll install some extra dependencies to run the server properly

[real moss]

👋

[ocean swallow]

Anyone knows how to fix the issue where players have different in-game time? For some its night meanwhile for others is daylight.

[velvet pumice]

thx bro, but how? DisallowedAIClasses=Bullfrog
this setting seems like not works, do u have a right setting show here? thx

[opal sinew]

I don’t turn off frogs, it causes crashes

[velvet pumice]

do u know which ai can be disabled bro? the fish ai have some bugs, deino playsers just starved for that, i just want disablee some small AI to make players can eat more biger AI

[winged stag]

If thats what it is bro omg lol... literally spent 200 bills on this box and have spent the first 3 days going over and over stuff after work. Never once thought of doing that. Ill report back 🙏

[opal sinew]

Crab, chicken, rabbits, compys, pterodactyls

You can also drop various sized deino AI for the crocs to eat - they don’t have ai so they won’t move or fight back.

[velvet pumice]

I put these setting in Game.ini, but not worked after restart, would u like share your Game.ini of this part?

thx

[winged stag]

Closer.... It now shows up in the server browser BUT I get this...

I noticed I was unable to fully launch the game on dedi box due to directx12 not being supported

I'm not sure if this stopped other things being installed

Any work around for that?

This definitely is what it is

[warm ridge]

Sounds like a port forwarding issue to me, do you have a firewall rule on OVH on top of the windows firewall rules ? (For example we’re using hetnzer and there is 2 layers of firewall, the windows one, and one extra right from hetnzer)

[opal sinew]

I can when I’m home I’m currently in hospital

[velvet pumice]

oh~Thank you very much. Your health is more important; I hope you recover soon.

[velvet pumice]

thx, bro, but seems like not worked after restart

[deep steppe]

try adding them to this spot as well, not sure which worked for us

[velvet pumice]

ok

thx

i will try

[deep steppe]

I havent seen a chicken, rabbit or crab spawn since adding both.

[velvet pumice]

u mean add these at the both part?

[velvet pumice]

i till try

[deep steppe]

yeah thats why i did

what*

[velvet pumice]

btw, bro, AISpawanInterval i see your setting is 400, what is it used for?

i see the default setting is 40

[deep steppe]

so the ai doesnt spawn a bunch at once. lets the ai ease into the action

[velvet pumice]

u mean it helps ai to spawn more Smoother right?

More gradual

[deep steppe]

yeah basically

[velvet pumice]

OK

thx

[bright sigil]

guys im trying to make a server just to test stuff out rn, evreytime i try connecting to it it gives me this error, i havent done port forwarding i dont think i need it tho if im making a server just for me?

[gaunt spruce]

Are you hosting this on your own PC? If so you need to enable NAT loop back on your router otherwise you can’t join a server on the same machine. You can alternatively install Tailscale which works by IP proxy

[dry hedge]

hey here, can someone tell me why whenever i launch my server i see it on the list for like 5 secs, then it's barely impossible to connect to it, when i finnaly get into it i have a client disconnect error (not a nat loopback issue i have it activated on my router)
port forwarding ok
firewall ok too

[teal yew]

does this actually work? I have tried it now and doesn't seem like they are spawning for me

[winged stag]

I have a question.. Where inside of the server files is the player data saved? I found some .sav files but how do you read these and edit these? Am I looking in the right place?

[dry hedge]

well what do you want to do exactly (why do you need these data)

[winged stag]

Well I'm going to build a website paired with a bot like everybody else for custom skin colors etc. I've done some playing around on other servers and I see no other viable option but root access to a servers files and manipulating them for this kind of stuff.

I do alot of programming etc for other games too and I'd like to do some cool stuff for Evrima.

[dry hedge]

well i guess everything you need is in the TheIsle.log

[winged stag]

Hmmm

[dry hedge]

i'm tryna making some commands work client side not from weird bots on discord and everything is in the log

and i remember that i see the data there

[winged stag]

I don't think you'll be able to do it client side, as you cannot manipulate the client from the server.

You may be able to have a bot on RCON which see's the server chat and do commands from chat like this.

Making it seem like it's from inside the game.

[dry hedge]

already do the poc

[winged stag]

poc?

[dry hedge]

just tail the file use rcon from a ts lib that i saw on gh
poc = proof of concept

https://github.com/smultar-dev/evrima.rcon

[winged stag]

Yeah something which is connected to RCON

You can program something in python to connect to the servers RCON and see the chat etc

And if it's running on the server machine it can access server files

[dry hedge]

i'm doing everything with node ngl

[winged stag]

Works just as good

I haven't seen what the admin panel or rcon is capable of doing via built in commands yet

Once I see this I'll know which direction to go

[dry hedge]

yeah so i'm making a plugin system from node ecosystem because everyone keep thing

[winged stag]

Elaborate?

[dry hedge]

yes kinda

[winged stag]

No I mean elaborate on what you mean exactly

Like a spawning system for better stuff to eat?

[dry hedge]

i mean you can do it i will try to make a sort of api so you can do it easyyy

[winged stag]

Ah I see

I guess you're able to do rcon commands manually to spawn dinosaurs etc

I'm not sure what it's able to do yet as i just restarted the server and now it's not showing up ffs 🤣🤣

[dry hedge]

yes you can

[winged stag]

Jesus this game is buggy ,some times having to click connect 20 times lol

[dry hedge]

https://github.com/aerond7/TheIsleEvrimaRcon
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JI_qVdKIZrqcVTY2Tqnm1T_Ws3_1r5nINGxfprbWw7w/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.p9tfb89b07jd

[winged stag]

I do love it though

Yeah I mean, not how to connect to rcon, but what rcon is capable of doing via commands

Like can admins just spawn dinos at custom coords via a built in command

[dry hedge]

yeah look at the doc there's everything ahah

[winged stag]

Oh I see sorry

Thanks

[dry hedge]

spawn a corpse is an ingame commands

i think you can use custom commands for that

[winged stag]

So you can't spawn something via rcon

You have to be an admin in the game

Because I didn't see a rcon command for that

[dry hedge]

rcon have a custom commands i think you can do it from that

download it on gh and check it out ah h

[winged stag]

Hmmm I read the devs docs on rcon connections and there's a limited amount of commands nothing about spawning stuff in

Right so just as I thought there is no admin command here to change colors on a dino

So it must be by file manipulation

[dry hedge]

not sure

i know that poutine from petit pied did it

i guess custom commands 🤷‍♂️

i will try to do it

[winged stag]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I figured it out

the .sav files are unreal engine save game files

they need converting and then converting back

or hex editors apparently

hmmmm

[dry hedge]

not sure like it will not be instant i guesss

[winged stag]

well

it will probably require a re log

anything player wise

[dry hedge]

no it's instant on petit pied ahah

[winged stag]

ok so then the .sav file must be streamed to the server

or there is a way to force the server to push it to the character

i will test

[dry hedge]

not sure well if you manage to make it i would like to see it ahah

[winged stag]

Ok so using python json and sav converter I can convert the file into a json object aka dictionary modify said values and then back into a binary .sav file

Now it all depends if when the .sav file is updated whether or not the server instantly knows about it (like actively reads it) or not

I'm guessing it probably does

[lofty birch]

Hey, in game.ini

What are good numbers for not so much ai spawn?

[winged stag]

1

[lofty birch]

1 what 😂

[winged stag]

Oh sorry, I mean 1 on the AI multiplier

You hae AI on/off AI multiplier and AI spawn rate

Set multiplier on 1 and turn the spawn rate number right up

The higher the longer the spawn interval

[winged stag]

Yeah something like that

Although I'm not sure if Density takes decimal numbers

[lofty birch]

You think thats good?

[winged stag]

But yeah the interval will then be 4 minutes

[lofty birch]

I test and test and test.. more players = more ki 😭😄

[winged stag]

Yes because per player it's a multiplier

Is the AI lagging your server?

[lofty birch]

No not much

[winged stag]

Well yeah any way if you just want less increase spawn time is all you really have to slow it down

Or disable it

[dry hedge]

still struggle with this issue if someone can help

[peak zinc]

The Galli one seems to work sometimes when you force spawn. Otherwise I’m not sure

[peak zinc]

Hey can I get more info on this?

[winged stag]

What even is this?

[unique osprey]

hi,Have the different server times been fixed yet?

[teal yew]

shift+ins menu

[teal yew]

it's working now and spawning by itself or with forced not even sure how, just did a restart

[peak zinc]

Sometimes we just accept the machine spirits mysterious ways lol

[gaunt spruce]

No it’s modding

[winged stag]

Modding of what though the only files server side to manipulate are the .sav files that hold the player information. I know its modding its not a standard thing.

[winged stag]

Thanks i will take a look at that.

[final dove]

You can decrypt the .savfiles with the proper keys, and if you know the technique you are able to re-encrypt and toss onto the server.

Most servers run under-the-hood mods though, to manage these things, these aren't most likely in a public space.

[winged stag]

Yeah im looking into how to do exactly this.

But ive tried a couple of things SavConverter with python and eusave with rust. Neither will convert these to json.

[final dove]

Its most likely encrypted with an AES key, and before that you won't get a proper decryption to JSON

I don't recall anyone having posted the key in public tbh

[winged stag]

Yes its a brain tickler for sure! But it is an unreal engine save file. There will be a way to do it. These guys found a way around it.

[winged stag]

Keeping it all hush hush. I respect the grind.

[dry hedge]

hey bro this guy is weird, i will make it for free

why in this community you building things and SELLING IT everytime...

it's the isle guys comon

[winged stag]

Because some people dont like to share how to do things

[dry hedge]

i guess skill issue then

[dry hedge]

bro that's cheating no ?

[violet forge]

kind of i guess?

[dry hedge]

yes like this solution will be fix as soon as dev found it

[violet forge]

doubt that

[bright sigil]

im hosting it on another pc it doesnt even show up on the server browser anymore tho

[novel hull]

Super easy to extract them tho

[agile sun]

has anyone figured out how to add dino AI?

[winged stag]

Currently looking into this. I've been un successful so far extracting .sav file into .json format

When you say super easy, what's the approach to this? Of course I understand if people aren't sharing this information. I will eventually figure it out and respect the grind.

Ahhh I think I've figured out how to extract the key from the game executable.

[gaunt spruce]

Yes none of these servers you see even care about the .sav files. The modding is done using blueprint modding or a DLL built against a dumped SDK

[gaunt spruce]

Why would that be cheating?

[winged stag]

So they're not changing dino colors etc by editing the .sav files?

[gaunt spruce]

No. Plus that is unreliable to do since how save files are serialized. Small errors corrupt them

[winged stag]

Ok so I'm digging into the wrong place entirely to build something from?

[gaunt spruce]

Yes. You either can learn how to mod in Unreal Engine or just dump a sdk of the game to mod the server. One requires knowledge of Unreal and blueprints and the other requires you to know C++

[winged stag]

I seeeeeeeeeeeeee thanks I'll do some research in this direction. Direction is all I need thank you. Not asking for any hard work to be done for me. Cheers for the pointer really appreciate it!

Oh wow so you can use SDK/UE4SS to essentially run along side the server and can run Lua scripts to directly interact 😮

This makes so much more sense

I wondered how some changes were instant

Bro I'm only just learning about this approach not sure if I'm onto the exact right stuff yet but it's time to COOK!

Kadin your a G

[dry hedge]

creating a sdk, manipulating the files, doing some weird stuff with dll

like the isle does not provide it so your're creating your, it's just cheating bro ahah

[winged stag]

I'm having a slight issue. I've managed to get so far but there's a couple more things left that I haven't managed to figure out yet. But I'm getting there!

[unique osprey]

Hi, can you send an in-game message to the chat via rcon without an no announcement?

[violet forge]

which SDK are you using?

[winged stag]

I'm currently using UE4SS zDEV and I'm having troubles getting it to work properly

[violet forge]

never heard of that before xD

im using a diff sdk and had no issues though

[winged stag]

How are you doing it?

Like what are you using?

[gaunt spruce]

🤦‍♂️

[winged stag]

I see, the way I'm doing it injects into the exe of the server and launches with it. Then I can simply run Lua scripts along side the server. But it's having a hissy fit.

[gaunt spruce]

I’ve spoke with Dondi and he’s completely okay with modding the server. The game was originally designed to be modded. The only thing devs don’t want is you playing as playable that are in the files not meant to be played yet. Either way they don’t care hence why you see all these servers modding.

Minecraft doesn’t even give you official tools to mod lol.

[gaunt spruce]

Most dump the game using a C++ dump. I’m not going to specify because there might be bad actors here, but the C++ dump provides all the functions with their params, the structs, and any other data you need. It’s simple as just getting pointers to what you need and calling those functions.

But you have to be experienced in C++ to really know how to do all of that. I’m not aware of any large server using UE4SS. They use blueprint mods and a little bit of C++ as far as I’m aware.

[winged stag]

Thank you for some insight appreciated!

[winged stag]

Ok time for a break. Get back at this later on. I'm decent with programming etc but damn just finding the route to take is hard lol. Can't even begin developping at this point 😄

I've done loads of contributions to other games like DayZ Editor, Rust, FAF, CS back in the day, SAMP, FiveM, love all this stuff. Really like The Isle Evrima and want to get fully into it!

Gonna chill and play for a bit then come back at it!

[gaunt spruce]

It takes time but overall it’s not hard. It’s just a game of figuring out everything and what you’re trying to do to piece them together

[unique osprey]

Unfortunately, that's not possible via rcon. It would make things much easier and wouldn't require such a major intervention.

[peak zinc]

I mean if you make it for free, I’ll definitely look into it. Feel free to DM me with more info on your stuff!

[winged stag]

Yeah absolutely. I just need to figure out what I need in order to start. Finding out the unknown is always the real struggle.

[winged stag]

Did any one say there were having problems with fish spawning? This is probably why lol....

They are in the sky rather than in the water haha

[gaunt spruce]

What are you talking about I never mentioned RCON

[unique osprey]

Yes, that's the problem. Rcon can't do it, otherwise everything would be easier and you wouldn't have to work with C++.

[gaunt spruce]

Um ok?

[winged stag]

I can work with C++ but I've no idea how to even start is my problem.

I keep searching the internet for this SDK stuff.

[austere tree]

If its for your server a Server Side mod using UE4SS should be fine.

Overhead: UE4SS itself isn’t the problem; what your scripts do is. Heavy reflection or per‑tick scanning can hurt. With caching, reasonable intervals, and minimal file I/O, Lua can be fine even on large servers.

Stability: Updates can break hooks/offsets, yes. That’s why we use fallbacks and retry logic. You’ll still need to retest after game updates.

Anti‑cheat: On a dedicated server, anti‑cheat isn’t the same concern as on clients. But you should still respect the game’s terms/support boundaries.

UE4SS is workable if you keep it lean (longer intervals, cache results, avoid expensive calls). If you want the most robust/perf path long‑term, native server mods (blueprint/C++) are the gold standard — but they’re also more work.

[winged stag]

Yeah I couldn't get UE4SS to fully work with the server. I got as far as FText throwing a hissy fit. Then I tried to bypass this as don't need to mess with text or UI stuff and it hung on the first Lua scan. Don't feel as though I got it right.

As for the blueprint/C++ direction. I've no idea what that even means at this point to even begin.

[austere tree]

You need to get the experimental branch it supports UE Version 5.6 and 5.7

[winged stag]

Experimental branch of what bud?

[austere tree]

UE4SS

[winged stag]

Oh there's an experimental branch? I didn't see that.

[austere tree]

https://github.com/UE4SS-RE/RE-UE4SS/releases/tag/experimental-latest

[winged stag]

Does it have a dev version?

[austere tree]

Get the zDEV-UE4SS_v3.0.1-849-g486806a.zip

[winged stag]

Yeah nice so we can pull all the stuff from the game that way.

I'll see if it works in a little while.

[austere tree]

Ya im working on one right now using it

[winged stag]

Oh so you're using UE4SS like I was attempting then

[austere tree]

Ya, I`m using C# for UI

[winged stag]

Ok cool

Yeah I don't see any harm in using it at all. It's not going to be a problem unless the code you're writing is a problem.

[austere tree]

Ya pretty much, using the gold standard is a lot of work.

[gaunt spruce]

UE4SS support for C++ to Lua integration is minimal. It’s not really worth it in the long run and to also note the source doesn’t allocate threads like a C++ project can. It’s not worth the hassle coding in Lua unless it’s a language you’re good at. UE4SS itself had a lot of overhead in memory. For small servers running 20-30 players it will likely be fine. But blueprint modding is significantly easier because it’s just the same as if you had the official editor yourself. UE4SS can actually dump the UHT headers for you and then you just build the editor and boom easy as that. It’s hard on paper for those who haven’t touched Unreal Engine but it really isn’t that much difficult.

Programming wise C++ is the fastest and most reliable, of course if you’re aware on how to manage memory, allocate threads, and even handle garbage pointers etc.

Dumper-7 can be compiled and injected into the server process, it dumps everything you need to call functions. You don’t even have to worry about offsets. All the pointers are there for you.

TL:DR trying to mod with Lua is feasible, but it lacks the features and cannot use every function or feature since it’s not native code.

[winged stag]

Yeah UE4SS is able to pull everything and it seems the experimental version will do just that. I take it by build the editor you're talking about the UE editor? Like setting up an environment once everything is pulled so it knows what it's working with?

[austere tree]

True, Lua/UE4SS: Good for rapid prototyping or extremely simple admin scripts (e.g., "Give player an apple"). Bad for core systems.
C++ (via Dumper-7): Mandatory for performance-critical systems, or networking modification.

[plucky walrus]

Hi I have two quick questions

Is there an official way to send global announcements before a restart (for example via RCON)?
Commands like Broadcast or Announcement don’t seem to work on our server.

Is there any supported method to clean up corpses/dropped items on the map, or is restarting the server the only reliable option?

On some servers I’ve seen what looks like large AI dinosaurs (Deino, Maia, etc.).
Is this actually possible in Evrima, or are these just players acting as AI?

[dry hedge]

hi,
rcon can: send global announcements, you can also lean up corpses.
for the large ai dinos, i think Kadin and hes team manage to do it, but it might be kinda hard

[past sierra]

Hello everyone, I have a question. How do you configure your Game.ini to make AI fish spawn properly? I’ve noticed that some servers have AI fish spawning normally, while on my server the AI fish spawn rate is very low. This makes playing Deinosuchus very difficult because there’s barely any food available.

[dry hedge]

so I made the dump and yup that’s huge thx for the hint

rcon is trash so I change my mind ahahah

[young hawk]

favorite dosnt seem to be working on the client side?

everytime i favorite my server it dosnt stick

[novel hull]

It does work

[random beacon]

Hi everyone, I need help troubleshooting a connection issue. I'm hosting a dedicated Evrima server on my Windows PC and trying to play on it from the same machine.

Setup:

Server: Local (Windows), moved to Port 9999 (GamePort & QueryPort) to avoid conflict with the Client (7777).

Status: Logs are clean (Steam SDK Loaded, EOS SDK initialized, Map loaded).
Issue: The game gets stuck on "Connecting..." and eventually fails with "Connection Timed Out".
Troubleshooting tried:

Changed ports to 9999 in both
Game.ini
and startup script arguments (confirmed effective in logs).
Verified
steam_appid.txt
is present (376210).
Disabled Firewall completely.
Tried with and without VPN/DPI bypass (Zapret).

The server seems healthy but refuses the local handshake. Are there any specific
Engine.ini
configs required for loopback connections on Gateway? Or does the new Steam/EOS networking require a specific workaround for Host+Play on the same machine?

Any help is appreciated!

[bright sigil]

guys is there a way to host a server on my pc and also join it from the same pc? i cannot for the life of me get the server to show up in the server browser when i host it on my 2nd pc

[novel hull]

It works tho, am using it atm aswell for remote commands, heal, tp, diet, weather changing, changing migration zones

[austere tree]

Yes you can, what i do just to get it running is turn off my windows firewall (to make sure its not the firewall blocking) - in my router port forward and enable DMZ, It can take sometime to show up on the server list. make sure configured your Engine.ini | Game.ini - i made a launcher to make this easier if you need to send me a DM.

[quasi ermine]

you can use these things throught rcon? wan ve dm about that? I tried many times "general command" but never figured it out how to send command properly

[bright sigil]

if i host it on my actual pc it shows up on the server list but it always gives me this error if i try to join it.. presumably because i dont have reverse NAT/hairpinning, if i host it on my other pc it never shows up in the server list ive waited 20 mins before

[regal merlin]

Hi everyone, does anyone have a list of the current dino limits in a group? Or where I can take a look? I know the question is off topic but it concerns the server xD

[brittle rune]

<@&818552355796287508> I'm having a problem switching beta versions. I was on EVRIMA and switched to HORDETESTING, and everything was fine. The problem started when I switched back to EVRIMA; it keeps launching HORDETESTING... I've tried switching beta versions several times and reinstalling the game, but the problem persists... What can I do?
Thanks

[muted pilot]

Sorry if this has been covered, I could not find it. As Admin/Server owner of Evrima servers, can you no longer change night to day?

[random beacon]

this is strange stuff, I did the same thing and everything worked, I was able to log in to my server, the next day I couldn't, I have no idea how it works, it already pisses me off, developers are too lazy to create a wiki so that people don't have any more questions, I think it's not so hard

[austere tree]

Thanks for the advice, moved everything to C++ project.

[agile sun]

yeah you should be able to in admin panel

and change the weather

[muted pilot]

I have tried...I entered it in the manual time, I have also pushed the various day/afternoon buttons, etc...nothing happens...There is no save or anything. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

[agile sun]

thats so strange? uhhhhh did you make your own server or buy one?

[muted pilot]

I have a server with GTX Gaming

I used The Isle script to set it up

[novel hull]

custom modded commands yes

[crude hatch]

Go into your config and set day length to 45 and night length to 20. That'll fix it

[muted pilot]

Ok thank you, I will do that. I think it is on 45/25 right now

[stark python]

<@&818552355796287508> hey, so a friend of mine is having some AI issues with their server, hes trying to disabled some AI, and decrease AI for performance, but its not working.

[pulsar anchor]

so this friend ai isue is not working at all he turns it off nothing happens and there is so much ping spikes hes using hostbros

[stark python]

half?

[pulsar anchor]

yea lol

[stark python]

XD

[bright sigil]

i just wish there was an option like legacy where you can simply press a button to host a local server..

[random beacon]

Yes, if the game menu had the option to connect to a local server, it would be great.

[winged stag]

God i love making cool stuff 🤘😁

[real moss]

[keen charm]

how to host

[final dove]

Heads up for anyone developing RCON bots or tooling for The Isle: Evrima in TypeScript:

I've released a fully type-safe RCON library that wraps Evrima’s RCON commands.
Usable via npm or manual installation.

GitHub: https://github.com/menix1337/isle-evrima-rcon
npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/isle-evrima-rcon

I’ll be trying to keep it up to date. Feedback and PRs welcome.

[velvet pumice]

guys, set mutation to default value will fix the mutation value show 0% after Entomb problems

[plucky walrus]

Hey guys, quick question. How do I get AI to spawn for dinos like Carno, Omni, Teno, Maia, or Diablo? I know about the /spawn command, but I need them to spawn automatically and actually act like AI (move around), not just stand still like statues. Any ideas?

[runic sierra]

Nice one!

I have my own rcon client since ages now but id have probably used that initially if there had been one

[half crown]

A visual glitch and this is for server hosting.

[teal yew]

modifying game files seems to be only way rn

[dry hedge]

time to a refactor 👀

[fossil bramble]

ok ❤️

[fading raft]

Is there a way to give other players PE as an admin?

[teal yew]

pe?

[plucky walrus]

Okay, what files and how?

[opal sinew]

You are way better off to ask for that in the modding discord

[opal sinew]

Dmd you

[west moth]

Hello! Could you please tell me why I can't access the servers after the Evrim update? There's no connection - I log into the game and search for servers, but I can't connect.

[agile sun]

does anyone know a way to add in DINO ai?

[violet forge]

could ya dm me aswell?

[agile sun]

im trying to figure this out too

[austere tree]

Mods

[plucky walrus]

Well, can I ask for a link or how it works, because the wiki says that mods stopped being added in 2019 on Legacy.

[austere tree]

I think most of those are private or paid. I’m actually working on a mod like that right now myself, but it's still in testing.

[dry hedge]

this mod will be free ?

[dry hedge]

what's the mod for ?

[teal yew]

I have no clue

[austere tree]

Auto Spawner

[random beacon]

Guys, if my router doesn't support NAT Loopback, then I won't be able to log in to my server, which is running on the same PC, but other people will be able to connect to the server?

[dry hedge]

yes, did you have only udp for the game in port forwarding ?

[covert nymph]

Hello not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I'll try here first. I am attempting to "turn on" Galli and Dibble AI and I am unsure how to do it. Not sure if this is a thing or not for private server side settings. If anyone has any helpful info that would be much appreaciated

[glass field]

Anyone know why my Physgun file manager Game.ini keeps getting reset to default?

[glass field]

never mind, I'm so pro I figured it out

[random beacon]

Guys, how do I send directmessage correctly using rcon?

[fading raft]

Just saw this, my apologies, prime elder!

We want to mess around on a small server for some fun fights and i dont want to give everyone admin in order to access prime elder.

Tried messin with commands and the admin panel but it doesnt matter what i try, growing players always results in frail elder

[steady yacht]

Hi Menix 😄

I haven't update my python one in ages lol

[muted pilot]

I am looking at the Admin panel. Under various things I can do for myself/players is "NHJ" can anyone please tell me what this is used for? I clicked it for myself but nothing happened haha.

[teal yew]

ohhh are you releasing this??

[opal sinew]

That’s the zombie virus, it’s locked it doesn’t do anything unless you mod your server

[gaunt spruce]

I should probably note this here.

My team is close to finishing up on the all in one mod for servers.

More info and features in my bio.

[austere tree]

Yes

[agile sun]

gali should work automatically it did for me when i started the server but dibble isnt in

[agile sun]

im not sure how to do this either the /primeflags command doesnt work, or im just not doing it right

[teal yew]

do /elder <player> instead

it's a toggle for prime

[agile sun]

ah okay

how do i know if it works? if they pick the 4th mut?

[teal yew]

yes

[agile sun]

tysm

[teal yew]

np 👌

[agile sun]

after i type elder it doesnt give me a choice for the players name like primeflags does

[teal yew]

have you tried it with their steam id?

[agile sun]

yeah

[teal yew]

not sure then, it works for me

[agile sun]

can you show me a picture of how you type it in the chat box in game?

[teal yew]

I just did /elder steamid

[austere tree]

Just use /adminpanel or insert key

[runic sierra]

Anyone has the full updated list of mutations and default values for this update?

[lofty birch]

Knows anyone how this parking systems work? For owner? Install?

[violet forge]

i got a full list but without values if you want that

[covert nymph]

The command we used was /elder [player steam ID] prime and it worked perfectly

We typed it in the admin chat in the chat bar

[covert nymph]

Thank you appreaciate

[velvet pumice]

There's a less convenient method: if you delete all the MUTATION entries in GAME.INI, it will revert to the default values. Then, you can check the default values ​​for each entry in the game.

[velvet pumice]

guys, should we still need add these in Game.ini?
;METADATA=(Diff=true, UseCommands=true)
[/Script/EngineSettings.GeneralProjectSettings]
ProjectVersion=0.21.370

[slate solar]

tried that, and it didn't boot up the server, removed it, and its still not booting up

[velvet pumice]

my server run normal

but i dont want add these in Game.ini after every update, if this update no longer need add these, i prefer remove these

[slate solar]

makes sense, sadly i have tried each and its not booting up for me XD

[novel hull]

You don't need the manual ProjectVersion anymore

Btw anyone can join their server from this patch? Getting Data acquisition failed rn

[velvet pumice]

oh , thx, btw bro, Are the Bullfrog AI still have a disabled bug?

[novel hull]

What do you mean exactly?

[slate solar]

can't join at all as my server isn't showing up XD

[novel hull]

Just got this after updating both the server and the client

[austere tree]

[velvet pumice]

What I mean is, in the previous version, if a server disabled BullfrogAI, BullfrogAI would still be spawned, and the AI's name would change from AI_Bullfrog to AITIBullfrog, causing all players near this AI to experience game crashes.

[novel hull]

Reconnecting throws me directly into this error aswell

[runic sierra]

Problem is some i dont want

[novel hull]

Ah wel idk, i have no issues with bullfrogs so i don't disable them, got my mod to limit ai and increase fish spawns

[golden flare]

Windows servers having issues again ?

[novel hull]

Yes

[velvet pumice]

I understand. For example, I don't want the Gastronomic mutation to become the default value, but if I don't change it to the default, the display of mutation values ​​after the player's ENTOMB will be bugged.

[novel hull]

Then remove them, i am fairly certain the format for all mutations are still the same, the value is a different situation tho

[velvet pumice]

That's so cool, but our servers without mods can only achieve BIGFISH menbers growth by disabling Bullfrog.

and the disabling bullfrog is buged

[novel hull]

If you know how to mod then you can set the spawnlimits for them to 0

Otherwise you are completely left up to the devs help

[velvet pumice]

LOL, I wish I had that skill, but I'm just an ordinary server owner. u r right, maybe i should ask for Devs

[novel hull]

They might look into this channel every now and then to see some issues with the hosting/config side

[velvet pumice]

yea, hope so, Thank you bro and thank for Dev's work

gud~

[ember mantle]

Linux

[hybrid void]

somone else cant connect to server

[sacred wing]

It's like they don't test the update on servers before release.............

[runic sierra]

Windows build is toasted, don't bother another one on the way it seems

[hybrid void]

Then eu 8 just donr working for everyone or just for me

[winged stag]

Quick question, when you first spawn and pick your colors, is there any way to then change your colors or do you have to die and start all over again? (just standard game play im talking about)

[half crown]

Die and start over

[winged stag]

Clears up a lot

🤣

[glad perch]

jop

[hybrid void]

Tell me when it starts working lol

[onyx osprey]

Hello, can you tell me how to give growth to players remotely or via RCON, heal, etc.?

[novel hull]

Not possible unless you mod

[onyx osprey]

And then how do they make a slot system?

On some servers, people save dinosaurs from slots, I understood how to save player data, but I don't understand how to give it back, I didn't find the necessary tools

[teal yew]

again modding

[onyx osprey]

And how???

[teal yew]

either code them yourself, or get the paid ones. So far I have not seen any free ones or anyone mentioning they had a free one

[novel hull]

If you make your own. its free 😉

[onyx osprey]

and how to make your own, where can I find a guide?

[teal yew]

and thats why I said, either code yourself or get a paid one 🙂

[magic tulip]

trying to make one and stuck on how to execute kill command on server or i do it wrong and python wont work do to limited info in logs and no accesses to .sav ! MY biggest question is how exactly it happens if you cant inject code ! im not super IT but have some exp

[novel hull]

😄 there is no guide to this hahaha

[novel hull]

Rcon does not support slay commands

[magic tulip]

yea and its my main problem and i do not know workaround 😄

[elder yacht]

YOu can inject code. Its called reverse engineering. its "forbidden" but allowed. Its not hard to make.

[magic tulip]

so its illegal than and go against tos

so all server using storage is basically ban 😄

[elder yacht]

Yes every unoffical server has it so i asume nothing is done against it.

Prob will be allowed in the near future when modding is enabled. Now you have to reverse engineer your mod into the game so it gets booted.

Just explaining how it would work 😉

[magic tulip]

right i feel you 🙂

[onyx osprey]

Where can I find out the list of all admin teams, it's just that even the issue of prime is not displayed in the chat

[verbal heron]

Any news about Windows servers?

[signal siren]

Nahh

[winged stag]

@gaunt spruce can I ask a quick question in DM?

[lethal sundial]

I want to run my own private server for my friends and I. I got it setup and running I can see it listed but I get a data acquisition failed error when attempting connection. Any ideas?

And yes windows install through steamcmd

[swift olive]

im having the same issue. been researching for the past 2 hours!!

[lethal sundial]

Hmm, me too finally decided to ask for help.

[prisma acorn]

the current update broke a lot of stuff. Wait for them to fix it

[swift olive]

i can access other unofficial servers tho

[lethal sundial]

Lol, bad timing I guess

[prisma acorn]

what version are you trying to run the server on?

make sure it aligns with your game version

[swift olive]

evrima

the most current

[prisma acorn]

I mean the version not the branch

if you open the game it should say in the bottom right corner

and check in #announcements to see what it should be

[lethal sundial]

So move the server to the pi5 got it

[teal yew]

Probs other servers are running linux

[swift olive]

so is mine. :/

[teal yew]

I got a linux server right now and works fine

[swift olive]

i just dont know linux well

[teal yew]

Are you running directly off root?

[swift olive]

a friend set up the pc for me and im using AMP to edit

[teal yew]

like manual game server install?

I don't know AMP well. I use pterodactyl panel

[swift olive]

this is my 1st time doing all this so im learning as i go. like i said, i can see my server, so i know something is working at the very least

[teal yew]

it's on the server list just not able to join?

[swift olive]

yes

[teal yew]

Was the server running before elder system was added? Or fresh server after?

[swift olive]

fresh. like i just set it up today

when i try to connect, i get "data acquisition failed"

[teal yew]

Whats svr name so I can try joining rq

[swift olive]

the sheltered lamas

[teal yew]

Do you have a pic of console?

Seems like server isn't fully coming up
ping sits at 0 or -1000

[swift olive]

mine is at 0

[teal yew]

Yea so server isn't being properly/fully initiated

[swift olive]

i cant seem to figure out why.

[opal sinew]

Is there a windows update yet?

[swift olive]

well, apparently the isle doesnt work in AMP since the christmas update and the devs have to do something to fix it, (as per a mod on cubecoders. so not super happy with that.
ill look into pterodactyl panel and see if i can easily move to that.

[alpine ledge]

use pelican panel instead of pterodactyl

[swift olive]

any specific reason for that one over the other?

[alpine ledge]

from what i remember most of the devs moved over to pelican from pterodactyl

look into both

[swift olive]

i will do that, thanks for the info

[opal sinew]

It’s working for me fine in AMP

[swift olive]

:/ well this just shows how dumb i am. i can not for the life of me figure out why i cant join my server

[alpine ledge]

are your ports forwarded correctly?

including icmp

[swift olive]

yes but not icmp because i did not know about that one

[alpine ledge]

try with icmp allowed

[swift olive]

i dont have icmp under protocol for port forwarding.

[alpine ledge]

is this on your own router? if so it could be in another section

[swift olive]

yes. im not very familiar with this router, i see some icmp in the firewalls but they are not blocked. ive even tried with the firewall off

apparently my router was in stealth mode, so i disabled that and am trying again,

son-of-a.... well that seemed to fix it... joined just fine now!

[alpine ledge]

nice

[swift olive]

thanks for the help! never would have really looked at the stealth mode otherwise. and thanks @opal sinew for informing me that amp was working for you, i was already giving up at that point lol

ok well it let me connect once and now its not letting me!

[opal sinew]

I think the server browser is having issues anyways so dont get too discouraged tonight

[swift olive]

I got in once, that's a good sign. Perhaps on the next update of the game.

[alpine ledge]

if u spam it long enough it will work eventually

but if u joined once u should be good

[verbal heron]

Did the update from a few minutes ago fix the Windows servers? I'm still experiencing the same error.

Is anyone else having the same problem?

[ocean swallow]

Yea

my server doesn't seep to update anyway

[past sierra]

My linux server not working too. Server will show but can't connect 😞.

[runic sierra]

Do you get data aquisition failed?

[runic sierra]

data aquisition failed?

[past sierra]

Yep.

[verbal heron]

yeah

[slow crypt]

can they not revert back to before update so we can play while they fix this new update?

[haughty edge]

I'm sure they know they killed the player base for the night. They are likely actively working on it.

I have a server running on the previous build... Is there a way to revert my client?

[runic sierra]

Try enabling the queue I'm pretty sure no queue is busted

[haughty edge]

Thanks Italienne

[runic sierra]

Along with all the rest on this build. Seems like the windows build is also not matching the client version so it will likely not work anyway

[haughty edge]

I sent you a dm ages ago btw

[runic sierra]

I get a lot of dms

[haughty edge]

lol

I get that

Thanks for the tip!

[bitter hearth]

I forgot the format to force a version in game.ini

[alpine ledge]

looks like they didnt push the changes to windows

only to linux

[verbal heron]

Try again, but now it keeps connecting until I get the "incompatible version" message.

I took a look at the boot logs and it seems that no matter how much I update to version 0.21.369

[runic sierra]

Yup

They did not include the windows build from what I can tell so far

[bitter hearth]

So even i force the game version, it wouldn't work?

[haughty edge]

Interesting.

[verbal heron]

yeah, I think the solution is to wait.

ty Poutine

[alpine ledge]

you can manually change your version in the meantime

[runic sierra]

where is this?

So it's only the linux build that got updated?

[alpine ledge]

https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/21579444/

yes looks like it

[haughty edge]

I have a test server on the last version before todays updates.... It would be nice to revert my client...

[alpine ledge]

you can do that in steam

you can also manually change the server version

[haughty edge]

Oh yeah - not counting on any players to understand steamcmd....

But at least I can continue refining my things.

[runic sierra]

So the windows fixed build did not include the windows build

[alpine ledge]

yep

[haughty edge]

lmao

Also -

[bitter hearth]

hmmmm . . . waiting for windows version to release

https://tenor.com/view/kei-gif-4662707477700116274

Does the Linux server also have the same Data Acquisition Failed issue?

My Linux server can't connect.

[haughty edge]

This is mucho disappointment. I had the night planned around this game 🤣. Guess I will set my server to auto restart tomorrow morning in hopes that it is fixed.

Is there already a solution for Win Server, or are we going to continue to be penetred my ass? As a server owner, I feel cheated by the last three updates. as I understand it, no

[thick yacht]

i sure hope so

same problem with linux "Data Acquisition Failed"

[agile sun]

[lofty birch]

Hey! How in server console announcements? /announce text? Or how ?

[lofty birch]

My server is online 😮

[bright robin]

hi guys i have a question about server hosting, when running this command: Force_Install_Dir C:\YourFolderName on steamcmd to create the server's files it doesn't do anything, yes i changed "yourfoldername" to my folder's name

[pallid knoll]

did somebody know how to fix "data aquisition failed"?

game and server-version is the same

[slate solar]

after the new update to fix the windows version, mine is still not working - i've updated it, and it's still not findable on the server listing (RAM and cpu are essentially non-existent so i know it's not fully operational)

seems like the update isn't sticking, each time i turn it off, i run the update, and there's yet another update to do, but it should only be the one... @.@

[tall galleon]

Is that Part of the new Patch Problem or is it just me that got this when trying to join my Own Server

[violet forge]

i have the same problem

Anyone else getting data acquisition failed?

Yes

[barren nest]

Yes I'm still getting the same issue

Does it have to do something with Easy Anti Cheat ?

[visual coral]

https://gyazo.com/a0c377cdc8da8c681a4394b283c7bcf5 same data acquisition failed problem, another broken update 😄

[tall galleon]

i dont get it, all the big Unofficial Server Communitys are working now, and everyone else here still got the same issue

[vivid willow]

why the devs need so long to fix it i can't play on any and it just saying error the whole time

[native mauve]

did you restart and update your server again?

[bright robin]

hey guys, i'm not that tech savy when it comes to hosting servers but i want to create one on my pc for me and a couple of friends. Are windows servers broken rn? Is there no single guide to create and host a private server? All the guides i looked at all do things different and none work, this is very frustrating...

what's your issue ? can't see the server ?

[ocean swallow]

Could you share the fix?

Can you connect now after the last patch?

[bright robin]

i can see the server but i get the data acquisition problem

ok so just client side issue

[bright robin]

what would be the fix?

also while following this guide the Force_Install_Dir C:\YourFolderName did not create any files

Anyone got a fix?

[winged stag]

Oh lovely

[stuck pecan]

how do i stop my server returning data acquistuin failed

[split pine]

good question... we have the same problem.

i think people are actually reverting back to the older version of the game before it broke

[uncut verge]

On Evrima, unofficial servers, I can't find Dinopolis NA anywhere. Does anyone know if it is down temporarily or gone forever?

Lot of server issues goin on right now @uncut verge
just takes a little bit of lookin around/reading stuff. A lot of us cant play the game rn

nope

nothin yet that Ive seen

Temp, since there are alot of unofficials which can't boot up there servers

[mighty comet]

[muted pilot]

I had this problem...in your server set up, change your night length to 20min. That will fix it. Don't ask. Just do. 🤣

[lament musk]

Our main server is down right now but we have a Temp one up you can play on in the meantime.

DINOPOLIS FREE ROAM

[modern dove]

anyone have a reliable source for info on hosting evrima in ubuntu/linux?

[maiden widget]

Can you share the name of the setting. I set ServerNightLengthMinutes=20 but time of day is still dysfunctional.

[muted pilot]

This one....make sure it is 20...most auto server set ups have it at 25...

ServerNightLengthMinutes=20

[stray fjord]

Does anyone know how to fix the data acquisition error for Windows OS, or are we waiting for a new patch? 🙁

[uneven ridge]

same i think must waiting dev fix it

[prisma ingot]

Hello your hosting with GTX? You work for GTX and I host with you. How about you fix my server instead of lying on here for sales....

<@&401466542140817419> @visual coral is advertising his hosting here

[past sierra]

On Linux Server have Error data acquisition same too.

[stray fjord]

The solution is to set bQueueEnabled=true in the game.ini file

[uneven ridge]

Of course, I've already set it up that way, and there have been times when I've encountered a "data acquisition error."

[stray fjord]

Did it work for you or not?

[uneven ridge]

I'm not sure because sometimes I can access the server normally, and sometimes I can't, getting an "Error data acquisition" message. Right now, all I can do is inform the developers to fix it as soon as possible.

[past sierra]

When will the Data Acquisition Failed issue be fixed? It’s been almost two days now, and my server still can’t connect at all.😢

[muted pilot]

I tried this and it took me clicking connect 8-9x but I did eventually get onto my server.

[past sierra]

I’ve tried fixing everything—disabling the whitelist, enabling/disabling the queue, and even recreating the folders and resetting Game.ini on the server to default values—but I’m still getting the same Data Acquisition Failed issue. I’ve seen many people say that this only affects Windows servers, but my Linux server is also completely unusable. I’m really stressed right now because players on my server keep messaging me asking when they’ll be able to join again.😭

[stray fjord]

It sometimes fails but still connects to the server; the developers need to release this patch, but this is a temporary solution.

[velvet pumice]

I dont know it is work or not, try delete"SaveGames"folder before restart once, or just run evrima on your server pc once, u will get a Easy_cheat error, but just ignore it, then restart your server
and add these in your Game.ini
;METADATA=(Diff=true, UseCommands=true)
[/Script/EngineSettings.GeneralProjectSettings]
ProjectVersion=0.21.376
If all above dont work, i think u should wait for a fix from devs

[past sierra]

I’ve already tried that, but it still doesn’t work. The server log also shows this message:
LogSockets: Warning: Failed to read address for socket (SE_ENOTCONN) with error -1

[split pine]

Unfortunately, we have the same problem because we also have Linux servers. Honestly, I'm not finding this funny anymore. A freshly set up server, ready to get new members, and you haven't been able to access it for two days... who knows if the devs are even aware that the Linux servers still aren't working! Everyone initially thought the Linux servers were working and only the Windows servers were having problems.

[past sierra]

Exactly. I’ll admit that I’m really stressed right now because many players on my server are waiting to play. But all I can do is tell them that the game and the server currently have issues, so it’s not playable. Like you, I’m also wondering whether the developers are actually aware that Linux servers are affected as well. What I’m most confused about is why some servers are able to fix the issue even though their config files and settings are the same as ours

[young hawk]

seem to fix the data aquisistion error:

turn off server
change queie port to true in game.ini- ensure all are true if using PT
assing queie port to your server in PT
open port in your machine -
turn on server
ensure the queie port is listening and bound

this seems to fix the issue for the most part

[past sierra]

As I understand it, does this mean changing the server port to a different one—for example, switching from 7777 to another port?

[split pine]

Yes, I totally understand you. We're pretty stressed about it too… waiting for a fix feels like we don't even know if the devs will give it to us. We can't pin them about the problem, and it's really not fun… but if some of you have managed to solve the problem, maybe someone can help us?

[split pine]

Please tell me if it works?

[velvet pumice]

my server run normal use 7777 port, and QueryPort also is 7777, and the queue port i make it true not false, i want to help u , but I don't know anything else.

[past sierra]

Is your server working normally without any issues?

[past sierra]

Sure.

[velvet pumice]

sometimes, i got same wrong because RCON, but, i dont think RCON make this DATA FAILED problems happen

[velvet pumice]

yea, just normal

The server crashed frequently during the previous update, but the last update fixed it.

btw, my server is not linux, it is windows server

[past sierra]

Okay, on the Linux side that I’m using, I’ve never had server crash issues before. This latest update is the first time I’ve had a problem, and it’s specifically the Data Acquisition Failed issue.

[past sierra]

It still doesn’t work. The same error keeps happening.

[past sierra]

Sorry bro,It still doesn’t work.

[velvet pumice]

sry bro, i really want to help u, but i think we can only wait for the official maybe

[past sierra]

It’s okay, thank you so much for your help!

[onyx osprey]

Tell me the command to kill with lightning, and to turn on the zombie mod.

Or is there a list of all admin commands somewhere, even hidden ones?

[young hawk]

server port and query port should be the same queie port should be different

[maiden widget]

Alright, I solved Time and Weather, just in case others have not found out yet how to do that:

These 2 values must be exactly as shown. If one is off, then Time and Weather will be broken.

// How long a day should take in minutes - default is 45 - if set anything else but 45, then admins can't change day time and weather anymore. Also time will not be in sync across players.
ServerDayLengthMinutes=45
// How long a night should take in minutes - default is 20 - if set anything else but 20, then admins can't change day time and weather anymore. Also time will not be in sync across players.
ServerNightLengthMinutes=20

Also no one was able to join my server since the last recent patches until I turned back on the Queue system.

I did not enable any of the newer vars to further fine tune the Queue behavior:

bQueueEnabled=true
//bQueueEnabled=false // 23.12.2025, disabled due to login issues after TI devs released Tyranno and Allo. Should be solved since early January 2026
QueuePort=10000
// More granular control over the Queue. TI devs added 4 new configs for server owners to manage Queues 09.01.2026
//QueueJoinTimeoutSeconds // was hardcoded 20s now default is 30s
//QueueHeartbeatIntervalSeconds // default is 8s
//QueueHeartbeatTimeoutSeconds // default is 5s
//QueueHeartbeatMaxMisses // default is 2

Please note that I still see the Acquisition error and connecting fails ~ 5/10 times...

I hope this helps others to get back on their feet 😉

It would be nice if other server owners could share more about how they do things. While trying to troubleshoot the current issues I visited many other unofficial servers and saw a few nice things there.
On some servers I saw Dinos with very bright skin colors, which are obviously not possible to create/pick in the current in-game skin editor. Can someone share how that is done?
Another interesting thing I cam across is a server announcement which is not shown on the top of the screen but on the left side and looks much more compact and integrated into the other UI elements. If anyone knows how to do that, then please share.

These "nice things" you've seen are modded servers.
You can do it yourself if you're a dev but if you're asking it means you're probably years away from the required knowledge to do it properly. In that case you can buy the mods to someone else who provides them, you'll save the time.

i can confirm the night and day minutes has fixed the issue with chaning time as an admin when reverting to default in the game.ini

[woven kite]

Here's how i fixed it.

In your start .bat make sure the queue port is designated.

"Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?QueuePort=10000"

Like others said in your game.ini make sure these are set.

bQueueEnabled=true
QueuePort=10000

Also if you haven't already add this to the start of your Game.ini

[/Script/EngineSettings.GeneralProjectSettings]
ProjectVersion=0.21.376

[violet forge]

this unfortunately did not fix it for me

[young hawk]

does anyone know how to fix the favorite issue? i can favorite other servers but my server seems to reset to not favotire everytime i click off it, it also dosnt save in the favorite list.

[onyx osprey]

Tell me the command to kill with lightning, and to turn on the zombie mod.
Or is there a list of all admin commands somewhere, even hidden ones?

[obsidian sapphire]

the lightning one is something only dondi uses. and zombies are disabled.

[dry hedge]

data aquisistion error real fix:

• shortcut: windows + r
• go to %appdata% -> local (not roaming)
• delete TheIsle
  yes it will delete your data you have to change some settings but it's i think the only way.

[past sierra]

It doesn’t work on my Linux server.

[austere tree]

@past sierra Do you by any chance have Mass Migration Enabled ? Disabling it fixed my data acquisition problem

[past sierra]

Yep.

[austere tree]

Hmm after few restarts data acqusition problem is back.

[past sierra]

It doesn’t work.

[austere tree]

Try to disable Mass Migration & Migration Zones

This is what i have, ill try and restart my server few times and see if it pops up again.

@past sierra

[past sierra]

Yep.

[past sierra]

It doesn’t work.

[austere tree]

interesting

[unique osprey]

Is this still the current update code? app_update 412680 validat

[austere tree]

Ya +app_update 412680 -beta evrima validate

[unique osprey]

😘 thx

[unique osprey]

Can anyone help me with this?

[austere tree]

@past sierra I dont think it has anything to do with the settings, it started happening again, I just kept pressing Connect and it connected, had to do it like 15 times EOS/Steam transient backend/auth/session data fetch.

[alpine ledge]

Delete the steamapps folder inside of evrimaserver and update the server again

[bitter hearth]

I've set up a script to copy and paste playerdata folder every 10minutes into a back up location. I just tried to replace the .sav + .sav.bak of a player and it didn't work.

Am I doing something wrong?

[unique osprey]

Thank you very much. That helped.

[novel hull]

You can't back them up, it has a hidden check inside.

[bitter hearth]

Unlucky. So the only way to give them back there save Would be to save the rcon playdata then grow them back to what they had manually

[novel hull]

Yes

[bitter hearth]

what a pain ahhhhhhhhh

[novel hull]

I automated it with my mod, auto grows compensated players to whatever they had including prime and mutations, if you can its better

[bitter hearth]

i haven't tried figuring out modding yet. just python, rcon and task schedular

any tips?

[novel hull]

Then its best to save rcon player data to a json and keep it updated every x seconds, keep logs of all "previous" dino data so you can find it aswell easily

[magic tulip]

w8 this works ? i tried in rcon and didnt get any data

[idle spoke]

i lost my 95% fully grown t-Rex with the lastest update ( EU8 ).

[past sierra]

Please, devs, fix this issue as soon as possible? It has been almost 3 days, and the servers are still unplayable.😭 😭

[random beacon]

Remove

theisleserver\steamapps\appmanifest_.acf
theisleserver\steamapps\downloading
theisleserver\steamapps\temp

Launch the .bat file again

[random beacon]

Does anyone have an answer to this question, I need one too

[magic tulip]

use log reader = snap when log in no save eddit as soon as logout copy save use python easy to make ! im building storage with this (downside must log out ) cons its safe no tos violation and extra backups

[winged stag]

Windows servers fixed yet?

I'd like to continue modding but I can't whilst I can't bloody connect lol

You're joking 🤦‍♂️

[winged stag]

Tried this didn't work

Now getting data acquisition failed again

Seriously losing the plot with this game

[random beacon]

What commands are you entering?

in what order

It worked for me.

[winged stag]

This is the bat file for the server

@echo off
cls
echo Protecting isle server from crashes...
title The Isle Server
:TheIsle
echo (%time%) Checking for updates...
start /wait C:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir E:\Evrima +login anonymous +app_update 412680 -beta evrima validate +quit
echo (%time%) isle server started.
start "Isle Server" /wait cmd /k C:\Evrima\TheIsleServer.exe /Game/TheIsle/Maps/Game/Gateway/Gateway?Port=7777 -log
echo (%time%) WARNING: isle server closed or crashed, restarting in 1 minute.
timeout /t 60
goto TheIsle

And I'm just launching the game on my PC normally

Oh

Hold on some how I might of been a COMPLETE idiot and running like 3 instances of the server on the dedi box

[young hawk]

Does anyone know if the favorite issue is part of a config issue in game.ini?

[winged stag]

hoooooooooooold on 🤣

NOPE

IM DONE

Definitely done everything right this time

Still says incompatible version

[cedar canopy]

Hello! Does anyone know if it is possible to somehow see who is nesting with who on an Isle server using the logs or RCON? It does not seem to be specified in the get player data command, nor in the log files, at least with my settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated <3

[winged stag]

Is no one else having problems with windows servers still?

It can't just be me??

[cedar canopy]

I am on Linux, so I do not know sorry :<

[winged stag]

😅

[cedar canopy]

Yea :(

[winged stag]

ok

my mind is broken

it suddenly works and I've changed nothing

just clicked connect 1000 times

🤯

[cedar canopy]

Whaat xD

That's both awesome and tragic at the same time xD

[winged stag]

i know, it's even worse because of that 🤣

well... i will continue modding

PLEASE DON'T RELEASE ANY UPDATES 🤣

[cedar canopy]

xD

Good luck!

[winged stag]

Thanks bro 😅

[cedar canopy]

I am just desperately looking for a way to see who is nesting with who ingame for a discord family tree :>

[cedar canopy]

You're welcome!

Maybe you have any idea 🥺

[winged stag]

a way to see who is nesting with who?

[cedar canopy]

Yup!

And who is the parent of who and such

[winged stag]

well you could make a function to store the info

[cedar canopy]

How

Please teach me

[winged stag]

Tell you what, it's a bit of a steep learning curve me trying to teach you C++ and stuff, unless you already know that, but once I have finished a plethora of things I need to do, you can tell me what you need and I will write something for that, it sounds like an interesting idea

[cedar canopy]

Thank you! I already know a bunch of systems programming if that makes it easier. Can you maybe give me a starting point for doing this?

[winged stag]

Are you already modding your server?

[cedar canopy]

Nop! I never tried modding but I have made my own software using C++ and such

[winged stag]

Then you should be able to find your way around pretty easily then

[cedar canopy]

Yes!

[winged stag]

Take a look at Dumper-7

Use it to dump the SDK from the server.exe

And then make whatever you like in Visual Studio with C++ DLL
