[soulfrenzy]

Hi there,
im at a loss right now, downloaded the tar, extracted it, copied my previous savefile over, changed stuff in server-settings file
server-settings:

hit start with:

Code: Select all

./bin/x64/factorio --start-server ./saves/my-save.zip

and only the following happens:

The Server wont show up on local nor on public, what am i missing?
I forwarded the 34197 Port via UDP, Port is open according to various Portcheckers.
Im sorry if this is an easy fix, but for the life of me i cant find a solution on the interwebs...

[Loewchen]

The log shows the server starting, how did you determine that the server is not live?

[soulfrenzy]

how did you determine that the server is not live?

It doesnt show up on LAN and on public Listings.

However joining direktly via IP works.

[Loewchen]

It starts, goes live and you can connect to it. Check your server browser filters.

[soulfrenzy]

well if thats the solution... glad i have a domain with dyndns set up, so i can give out the domain name for people to join...

[Loewchen]

well if thats the solution...

What is?

[soulfrenzy]

I have all filters set to "any" so all active games should show up, mine isnt. So that's not the Solution to my Problem...

[soulfrenzy]

Ok found out the Solution, the server didnt read my server-settings file so i had to change the start line to this:

Code: Select all

./bin/x64/factorio --start-server-load-latest ./saves/server.zip --server-settings ./data/server-settings.json

Thanks for trying to help me anyways.

Greetings,
