dedicated server not responding

[Druzil]

Been at this for a full day now. Trying to run the dedicated server from my media pc. The ports are forwarded, the firewall rules are set. I can see in task manager that the server is actually running. It's not visible on steam and cannot be connected to directly even from inside the local network. Changing ports did not work. Toggling show on steam/eos does nothing. Any advice appreciated.

When the server starts, it dumps the configuration in console. Look there for ServerHostSettings if things are looking right there. Does your "media pc" run windows? Can there be some weird firewall problem? On linux it all worked fine for me: the server was listed right away (although I had to change the search filters). I provided all three values in the config just in case "ListOnEOS": true, "ListOnMasterServer": true, "ListOnSteam": true. Not sure if it was needed, but it doesn't hurt.

It is running windows 10. The name I set shows up in the console. Not sure what else I would be looking for there. It seems to load up like any video I have seen. It is using cpu/ram and appears to be generating autosaves so I am pretty sure the server is running. I run servers for things like Conan and 7D2D from this pc often so I am stumped. Not showing up in the list right away is pretty common for other games but the server won't even respond to direct connection to the local ip.

Having the same issue on my server machine. It runs and dumps, but the server isn't showing on steam.

GPortal server is stuck at "Starting..." as of about two hours ago and can't reach the Settings page. Might be hitting all private servers.

You might want to run your server.bat file like this if you are not already.

@echo on
VRisingServer.exe -enableListing -persistentDataPath .\save-data --serverName "Name of Server" -saveName "world1"

Also, check your ServerHostSettings.json file. Also remember, depending on how you are using SteamCMD. it will over write your server and host config files. make sure you are backing those up once you got them setup.

{
"Name": "Server Name",
"Description": "",
"Port": 9876,
"QueryPort": 9877,
"MaxConnectedUsers": 10,
"MaxConnectedAdmins": 4,
"ServerFps": 30,
"SaveName": "world1",
"Password": "",
"Secure": false,
"ListOnSteam": true,
"ListOnEOS": true,
"AutoSaveCount": 10,
"AutoSaveInterval": 220,
"CompressSaveFiles": true,
"GameSettingsPreset": "",
"GameDifficultyPreset": "",
"AdminOnlyDebugEvents": true,
"DisableDebugEvents": false,
"API": {
"Enabled": false
},
"Rcon": {
"Enabled": false,
"Port": 25575,
"Password": ""
}
}

BTW, this is the way I update my Server with a .bat file within my VRisingDeicated Server Folder. Modify as needed for your environment.

@echo off

set "steamcmdpath=C:\Steamcmd"
set "serverpath=C:\VRisingDedicatedServer"
%steamcmdpath%\\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir %serverpath% +login anonymous +app_update 1829350 validate +quit

I got the same issue followed this guide to the teeth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNSSjOr04gw&t=19s

doesnt show up on steam list or i am able to join locally. I also notice when the BAT file runs it only consumes 400 mbs of ram. so something is definately not running correctly

I followed that guide as well as several others. Checked all settings over and over. Attempted every suggestion I can find. Nothing seems to make any difference. Pretty frustrating to support games like this through early access just to have them unplayable at "launch". After two days of fighting with it I am starting to loose interest in playing at all.

I only had small hiccups once in a while getting dedicated servers running before the 1.0 update, couldn't get it to work at all after 1.0, doesn't show up on steam, can't connect through local network, uninstalled everything tried again now I get memory leak errors

[Mightylink]

There was an update to the game and dedicated server on steam last night, it might of messed something up.

Make sure you guys are looking at the settings when joining a game. set all of the settings to Always or Any. see if then you see your server. some settings on a server can make it hidden.

If anyone wants my PVE server settings let me know I can post it here. if you are by chance using your old server settings file. it can and will causing issues for the server showing up.

[Druzil]

The update did not resolve the issue for me.

IDK if this is actually what fixed it for me but this is how it went down. I launched the server and it still was not showing up in the list. I tried direct connecting to the local ip:port without checking the LAN box and it connected. Now it shows up in the list and is joinable. Hope this helps someone.

probably not the port and could be the game preset. While I added mine to one of the presets in the host file config instead of leaving it blank it then showed up "GameSettingsPreset": "",

Figured out a possible solution for People using a Server PC (or extra pc) as your dedicated server. Make Sure the Game is installed correctly on the Server PC with the dedicated server. I had an incorrect version of V rising on the server pc, i just reinstalled the server now works fine
