Nitrado Server

[barracuda922]

Hi, I have setup and installed my own nitrado server but i cant find it on the server list in game, any suggestions?

[barracuda922]

I dont have any empyrion servers in that list??

Barracuda, on the top left on your Nitrado page it should tell you the game's IP and port number. You can connect to it directly until it shows up in the list. It can take a little time for that to happen - and only if your install was successful. Try direct connection to IP/port, and if that doesn't work, the install isn't working (which you can fix by doing a Reinstall at the bottom left of the Nitrado page). Pray that it isn't something bigger - I've been battling with Nitrado's tech support for going on a month, now, trying to get an issue resolved. Pakleds have better technical acumen and Klingons have better customer support skills.

Thanks I now have the server up, Im not sure on what settings to do, It says on server list, number of starting planets 4, and playfields 28?

Is this the entire galaxy or just starting area?

[Casei Magnus]

I wouldn't change those settings. 28 Playfields is likely max active playfields at once (won't be an issue unless you have a server with 29 people connected, spread across the galaxy). 4 starting planets is normal. You've got a whole galaxy to explore and tear up.

I cant find my server in the list now, It popped up once but not since, do i need to install the dedicated server software on steam to connect using a nitrado server?

[Casei Magnus]

No. Just look in your History, it will be there. I wouldn't worry too much about that list.

[barracuda922]

theres nothing in history?

Then connect by IP and port.

Possible issues I dont see in here yet, a lot of which might not apply to you, its a paste from a post I previously made ages ago..

A program like mackeeper or other anti virus, that removes files from the computer may be deleting your servers .txt because it considers it spam for some reason. I would try to whitelist it if possible.

What is whitelisting an IP address?

Spam filters that come with email clients have both whitelists and blacklists of senders and keywords to look for in emails. If a spam filter keeps a whitelist, mail from the listed email addresses, domains, and/or IP address will always be allowed.

MoSt of the time, a server not showing up on the server list for all to see, is almost always related to the host servers Modem but this is for servers located at the clients home, so playing and hosting..

I would do a google on that SPECIFIC modem, look under it at its sticker, grab the model number and do a very specific search with that modem brand and number, that should bring up a heap of results from other people using that modem.
Thats probably the best place to start trouble shooting the issue.

Also, some modems have a like a dual band, 2.4ghtz and 5ghtz, some networks can get touchy about security issues and will effectively only give a licence to broadcast for 1 minute and that can in effect ''trick'' the user into thinking its an ISP issue when its a security setting issue.
Check IPv4 and IPv6 on your modem.

Be sure your modem has a rule set for the game Empyrion.


NOW, Steam History loss.

You will want to bring back a backup copy of the file at Steam\userdata\<id>\7\remote\serverbrowser_hist.vdf.

Note that if you just replace the favorites list in Steam\userdata\<id>\7\remote\serverbrowser_hist.vdf with your backup and restart Steam, it just gets replaced with the newer version with everything cleared. That's because remotecache.vdf has a hash, time, and date of the newer file and asks Steam for that newer copy when it finds an old copy of our file.

In order to tell Steam that we actually have the newer copy, we'll need to exit Steam and "touch" serverbrowser_hist.vdf so that Steam believes that it was just modified and that it needs to sync with the cloud to upload those changes. To do this, open Command Prompt and type this in to go to the folder that contains serverbrowser_hist.vdf:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[your id]\7\remote

After we go to the folder, we'll update the "date modified" time to the current time:

copy serverbrowser_hist.vdf /B+ ,,/Y

Start Steam, and you're all set, we hope.

Good luck.
