Help - Server starts and then has no activity after 10 minutes

[Krystle]

I recently had to hard boot my system due to an issue while I was in my 7 days server. I believe doing so corrupted my file as I was no longer able to log in, kept getting stuck at "creating player" but the server would see me in the game along w/ my team mates. So after some research decided would delete my player data file so can start over. I did that (the 3 files attached w/ my name only), went to give myself admin permissions as I know I'll need some cheat codes to get me somewhat back to where I was. After I did that, I restarted the server but now the server will look like it's loading, i'll see activity under the CPU and memory, then after around 10 minutes it'll still show that its running but with zero activity. I had a back up done yesterday (at that point all other players were able to log in and get on the server) but that didn't work either. I'm not sure what is happening or what I can try. I'll paste the logs too for reference:

Post a link to the entire server log on pastebin. Instructions are in the Pinned threads.

[Krystle]

Thank you, I just added the server log to pastepin: https://pastebin.com/fU8ZN0v5

Here is the first error.

2024-01-04T10:41:18 6.783 INF Loading permissions file at 'C:\TCAFiles\Users\jasonp4\8389952\Saved\World/serveradmin.xml'
ArgumentException: Not a valid SteamID: 

So some part of your admin file is set up incorrectly.
Maybe using an old format from before a20?

Afterwards there are a lot of errors loading xml data from a number of core files. With the way the client loads data, the later errors could just be a cascade from the initially incorrect data in the serveradmin file.

I would analyze the admin file, get it fixed, and then see what happens.

Edit: Also, noticed you're with GTX Gaming, but they're using an old 7700K for the server. Might be a bit underpowered for running DF.

[Krystle]

After I deleted my player data files I went and added my steam ID as an admin, then I went and removed it after I had the issues to try and get myself back to where I was when the server worked. It was "JohnDoe1" which I put back and deleted the steam ID number.

Thank you so much for your insight!

[Krystle]

I went into the admin file to see if I maybe left a character, I put my steam ID back in there. Are you able to look at the admin file in pastebin to see if you see something that is incorrect? https://pastebin.com/nFebFTyj

You have three admin lines listed.

This one is correct.

    <user platform="Steam" userid="76561198848975047" name="Krystle" permission_level="0" />

These two are not because they do not have a steam64-ID in the user ID field. Delete the lines or comment them out.

    <user platform="Steam" userid="" name="JohnDoe2" permission_level="0" />
    <user platform="Steam" userid="" name="JohnDoe3" permission_level="0" />

[Krystle]

That worked! Thank you so much!!

[Krystle]

I'm curious if you would be able to assist with the issue I was having that caused me to add myself as an admin. My player file I believe got corrupted so I went into the server to delete it (.map, .ttp, and.ttp.bak files). I did that and rebooted the server but I still get stuck on the "creating player" screen. It'll show to my team mate that I am online but I never get past that screen.

I am fine with deleting my character but I must not be doing something correctly if I still can't get in the game

[SylenThunder]

Server needs to be off when you delete the files. They are loaded into RAM, and when you shut down it just saved the bad files again.

[Krystle]

I just turned off the server, did a restore from my save point yesterday, deleted the corrupted files again, then restarted the server but I am still having the same issue at the creating player screen

[SylenThunder]

It might be that something in those files got corrupted. Try fully nuking and see if you are able to create a new character. Then try an older backup if it works.

[Krystle]

What do you mean by fully nuking? I did try deleting my character and logging in with a new one but same issue

[SylenThunder]

If you remove the player files, and a new player is corrupted, then that indicates some other errors. Post a log when this occurs.

[Krystle]

I uninstalled the game again and this time discovered the other hidden files in appdata that I missed. Clearing that out cleared out the error and I was able to log in to my server (without having to wipe my player data). Thank you so much for all your help!!
