[Reitak]

if you look on server list dedic 99% are server lobby, what the hell ...

The dedicated server is a joke atm waste of money. They need more work until they are viable.

There are configuration settings so the server won't return to lobby mode (which it does by default after everyone logs out).

Recommend you take a look and configure your server the way you want:

Nope, you do NOT have it set correctly. :)

The two lines that start with "Shutdown" mean "shutdown the instance and return to lobby". So if the server is empty for 300 seconds, it will return to lobby.

Exact text from github (emphasis added)

ShutdownIfEmptyFor (seconds)
When the server becomes empty the server will shutdown and return to lobby after this time (in seconds). During this window the game will be paused.

Values of < 0 will cause the server to run indefinitely.

A value of 0 will cause the server to shutdown immediately.

Values of > 0 will wait that time in seconds.

Default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

If you want it to stay in the instance, those need to be set to a negative number:

ShutdownIfNotJoinedFor=-1
ShutdownIfEmptyFor=-1

i have mine set to 0.000000 and it runs indefinitely the -1 value caused me problems and shut my server down immediately

I run a gportal server and was wondering where I can find this file?

[SuperT]

I too run a Gportal Server for Icarus.
In your game server settings, select Basic Settings. There you will be able to set these options:
Server Name
Max Players
Server Password
Admin Password
Load SaveGame (drop down selection) I leave this blank
Note: Choose Serverlobby to create a new savegame. If you load your previous game, the server will load the lobby and shortly after the savegame is loaded and can be seen ingame!

Toggle On/Off
Load Last Savegame
Allow Non Admins To Launch Prospects (I check this)
Allow Non Admins To Delete Prospects

To Access the Serversettings.ini file directly from Gportal
Select File Manager under your server Settings
Double-click the Icarus Folder, then Config, then Saved, then Config, then WindowsServer
scroll down until you find ServerSettings.ini. Open it, edited what you like and save.

Hope this helps
