Private server problem?

[RedLineBoomBoom]

I tried making a server and everytime I logged off and turn off the server, all of my base progression and guild is gone but the character stay's there keep on progressing (level, skill, etc) is it a bug or did I do something wrong? (sorry for my bad english, not my main language)

[Maniac]

Are you hosting it yourself or did you use any of the serverhosters?
I have the same problem but it doesnt seem to affect all servers otherwise more ppl would have reported it i guess

I have the same problem with a G-Portal hosted server. Everytime I come back in my base and horse are gone, but I have all of my gear.

I am also hosting a server with G-Portal and this has happened twice to me in 24 hours, same symptoms. It deletes my horses and guild (as well as doing the same to anyone within the guild). I contacted them today and notified them of the issue, checked the logs and am in the process of wiping the server clean and hoping I just had a corrupted save.

On one hand it's good to know it's not a 'Just Me' problem. And this, I think rules out/leans toward it being a specific problem with G-Portal's hosting specifically, which means it's likely to get fixed faster than waiting on a hotfix from the game devs.

Let's hope! If I find out something new I'll come back here.

Okay, update:
It should be noted that I switched my server to PvP (just to see what happens) and my full server wipe did not work. I pressed the "Delete all Savegames" button and my characters are still there as are the player characters of my friends. So either the Delete Savegame button is broken or characters and character data is stored client side and that could be out problem.
Perhaps the *server* pulls Guild data from the client and not the server and it is causing the guild to blow up.

Speculating...

The game is not optimized yet for private servers. They continue to work on progress to make them more stable, but right now they are honesty "host at your own risk" and should a lot of warnings.

Loss of data through G-Portal seems pretty common from a lot of folks who are using them. This isn't something G-Portal can simply fix, it is the entire coding and how the private server back end works.

I was looking into doing my own hosting, but I will not use a 3rd party site for it, as sadly you are very limited with what kind of support you get and what control you have over your server.

they do have updates almost daily. After updates, you sort of need to restart your server (G-portal probably does automatically). I found, that just closing console quits without saving the world. So, especially if using G-portal I would say, try to use "cheat SaveWorld" before quitting (assuming that you are the admin).

Im also using a g-portal-server. Yesterday my character was deleted after starting the game, but installing the last backup worked. Today my server cannot be find ingame and also not directly by steam. I opened a ticket in g-portal, will see ...

[Frimber]

Hm. Yeah. It blew up the guild again on mine a few minutes ago and the game won't let me Admin mark more than one person so that is an issue too.
The fact that Official Servers don't have this problem proves they are either doing something differently or that 3rd Party Hosting services are doing it wrong for whatever reason. (More specifically G-Portal)

I may just have to request a refund and use another hosting service for now. None of my computers are up to the task of being a server host.

I think I'll give whoever time to fix it- or try to at least. The game is still new-ish.

If a savegame is made before the server restart, that could possibly be the problem

Same here, hosted not on GPortal.

Any news guys? nobody managed to solve this problem?

Same here: I play solo on local private server. On the second connexion, my base and animals disapeared, while launching the server I get the ASGGameMode::LoadWorld File Corrupt, Unable to serialize object header.
I delete the server and start a new server, but same problème

Step 1. Never shutdown the server clicking the X on the console window. Hit Ctrl+C

Step 2. Make sure you have admin rights- use the console before you exit and type in Cheat Save World.

I'm hosting on my own server and never had any issues.

[DrumBeard]

it happened to all the privat servers with the 0.15 update.. so they patched something that caused it and you cant find a Statement from them anywhere

[Ⓦⓗⓘⓩⓚⓘⓓ]

manually locate all the savegame data on the host computer delete all files inside this savegame folder, it should wipe all saves, try it.

I am never shuted down server with ALT+F4 or X
When before i am used CTRL+C it's happened for me too.
After that i am shutting down server only via MCRCON with SaveWorld command and then ShutdownServer
