Starting a dedicated server: No such node (visibility)

I get an error message: "No such node (visibility)" when i run the batch file I made for my server.
I've reinstalled the game several times and done a file integrity check.
Does anyone know what this error message means and how to fix it?
Thanks a lot!

Post the log, post the batch file.

The uploader doesn't allow .bat files so here are its contents:
bin\x64\factorio.exe --start-server saves/acerimmer.zip --server-settings saves\server-settings.json
See the attached log file as well.
Thanks!

I think it's an issue in your server-settings.json, make sure visibility is set like this:
Code: Select all
"visibility":
{
"public": true,
"lan": true
},
Only change between true and false in the above example, don't add any extra fields.
If that still doesn't work then post your server-settings.json.

Ok that helped. I had written "hidden" where "visibility" was because I misunderstood the instructions. However, now I've got a new error. That log is attached.

Its time to post the complete server-settings file.

This is in Factorio -> saves, along with acerimmer.zip (my save file). The launch batch is in the factorio main folder. Just FYI.

On line 7 you are missing a number after max_players, set e.g. 0 for unlimited players.

Ok that finally worked. It looks like the server is up and running.
I'd test it but I can't connect on the same computer that's running the server. Guess I'll need to have my laptop run it :/
Do you guys know how to connect on the same computer that's hosting?

You can run both client and server on the same computer if they are different installations or use different config/log files. The easiest way to do this is to download the zip-version from the website, extract it somewhere and use it as server. You can then use your steam version as client.

You also need to have different ports for the two instances, see this topic on how to change the port of one of the instances (default is 34197):
