JoinPassword= parameter in ServerSettings.ini not doing anything, server still stays open and public

changed the permissions also just to test to 777 so all for everyone, no luck either with this 😦 so it's not a file permission.

First, make sure you are making changes while server is stopped otherwise changes won't take effect and it can revert them as well. Second, i believe i saw mention before that the dedicated server does not work correctly in Linux environments and you might need to do done extra work arounds for full functionality

Yeah i think i might have an idea, i saw something in the documentation about the -UserDir=
"The dedicated server config file is found in Saved\Config\WindowsServer\ServerSettings.ini

This saved folder is by default found in %localappdata%\Icarus\ but can be changed using the -UserDir= command line."

I think i need to specifically tell the -UserDir as it's by default configured for Windows. I will try this and let you know.

Hmm this sadly didn't work. I'm out of idea's.. I find it weird that they don't support Linux for their servers, it's lead platform for hosting servers due to how economical Linux is with system resources :/

Is there no hidden start-up parameter in the launcher that allows me to set a password?
