From the news posted on November 27:

-Dedicated Server Support: For those who like a bit more control, we're adding the option to set up your own game server. You can put it wherever you want, and we'll provide instructions to help you get it running.

So I guess its in the roadmap.

Thanks guys

what about server files so we can host our own without paying for the service.

[PYOGENESIS]

here are the server files https://steamdb.info/app/2667530/

Downloading the Dedicated Server program through SteamCMD (command line)
1. Download SteamCMD from Valve's official page: Link SteamCMD - Valve Developer
Community (valvesoftware.com)
2. Inside the steamCMD.exe directory, open CMD and Run following command.
1. Note that you should replace the following strings:
1. "Your_Installation_Directory" to the directory you want the dedicated
server to install.
2. "Your_User_Name" to your Steam account user name.
3. "Your_Password" to your Steam account password.
2. Note that the account you are using needs to own the Sunkenland game to be
able to download the dedicated server.
steamcmd +force_install_dir "Your_Installation_Directory" +login "Your_User_Name"
"Your_Password" +app_update 2667530 validate +quit
1. If the preceding command executes successfully, the steamCMD will start updating itself.
Following that, it will log into the account you've provided. If you're using the Steam
Guard Mobile Authenticator app, make sure to enter your two-factor code correctly. After
completing some verification steps, steamCMD will initiate the download for the
dedicated server

The instructions are pretty convoluted. Has anyone got a dedicated server to work? I never get a message like "Server Start Complete, Ready for Clients to Join. ServerID is '11223344-5566-7788-99AA-BBCCDDEEFF00'", but the log says it's saving the world, which is weird. I also see a message in the log "[Steamworks.NET] SteamAPI_Init() failed. Refer to Valve's documentation or the comment above this line for more information."

I get messages like
Game Logics Initiated
2/2/2024 9:26:45 PM GlobalData: SessionInfo: [SessionInfo: IsValid=True, Name=ed277fa7-ec9a-46b1-947d, IsOpen=True, IsVisible=True, Region=usw, PlayerCount=1, MaxPlayers=16, Properties=0=Sunkin,3=1,1=7a208435-dcb5-4a07-b903-55f9b9cbf466,2=Dedicated server,4=2,3,2,1,0,1,1,1,1,0,10,4,]
GlobalTime: 2 7:19:0

but no one can connect, and I've made sure ports are open.

When i start up the dedicated server it throws gpu/render errors at me. Even though i did not remove the -nographics/batchmode parameters. In the cmd-output i also found the region still statet as asia when it is parametriesed as "eu".
For me the server-boot" ends with
ERROR: Shader TextMeshPro/Sprite shader is not supported on this GPU (none of subshaders/fallbacks are suitable)
ERROR: Shader UI/Default shader is not supported on this GPU (none of subshaders/fallbacks are suitable)

after that i can crt+c and it will throw allocation stats at me and ask if i want to cancel the batch. if i say N it will cancel, if i say Y it will cancel as well ;-)

Maybe my problem is that my worl hasnt been created with the latest SL-Version. gonna try that now

uhm nope..

I saw your clown award, and raised you an 'extra helpful' since I can't imagine why anyone would be offended by you linking a citation.

Rented a server from gtx gaming as they seem to be the only ones with servers available right now, but it won't populate in the list, and can't connect via server id

[Kaervan]

Someone named FatFly made a video on creating a server by first starting the game in steam. Dedicated servers are typically headless, and don't have dedicated GPUs installed. I copied the world file to the places it existed in the person's video but the server is still not joinable.

[Kaervan]

Oh, I got it. You have to re-run the steamcmd install line again and it will download more stuff. I guess that's what "Before Running the Dedicated Server After the First Time" means?

I don't see it, i know citadel servers are taking preorders right now https://citadelservers.com/game-servers/sunkenland-game-hosting

Already placed a pre-order on Citadel Servers. Waiting for the release and start grinding.
