Next update.

I haven't tried this, but I'd assume it works. Let me know.

Set game type to source query protocol, set query port to 27016 (or whatever you're using).

Again let me know if it works.

I used the ARK type and it seems to work mostly. Players counts are off but I'll try the other and see how that works out.

@Masher,

I'm having to start the server with the broker process. It starts without it but it won't allow any connection. If I start it with broker it comes up and ppl can join.

I'd prefer to start it without the broker process if possible, but it is working...and with ARK profile it seems that the graceful shutdown is working.

Do you have the windows firewall enabled? If so try adding port based rules for the server and try again. Also look in the game server's log for errors.

@Masher

the firewall is turned off. Also when running the broker and having it check for processes it starts a background process of dnl and an app process of dnl and it's causing the server to crash.

So i have two instances of DnL running on in background and one in app area of task manager.

Any idea why it will run with broker but not as normal?

@Masher so here is the setup:

Using ARK Profile, Broker = It starts and works but when you have monitor process on it starts the server twice after a bit as a foreground application with broker and a background process per the regular start. This eventually crashes the server.

Starting without broker does not allow anyone to connect.

No firewall is enabled.

The server on the panel shows "No Response"

if you start with broker it shows up as running like ARK does.

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated because really want this running inside the panel so updates and stuff can work.

@Masher here is my command line I'm using.

"../../../DNL/DNL.uproject" "/Game/DNL/Maps/CapeOfSacredPath/DNL_ALL?QueryPort=28301?SessionName=BoxieGames 0 Lag?MaxPlayers=150?listen?ServerPassword=?ServerAdminPassword=SERVERPASSWORD?RCONEnabled=True?DifficultyOffset=1.000000?NewMaxStructuresInRange=8000.000000?GlobalVoiceChat=false?ProximityChat=false?NoTributeDownloads=false?AllowThirdPersonPlayer=false?AlwaysNotifyPlayerLeft=false?DontAlwaysNotifyPlayerJoined=false?ServerHardcore=false?ServerPVE=false?ServerCrosshair=true?ServerForceNoHUD=false?ShowMapPlayerLocation=true?EnablePvPGamma=true?DisableStructureDecayPvE=false?AllowFlyerCarryPvE=false" -nosteamclient -game -server -log

Using the ARK profile it reports players but they are not shown correctly in number. So it polls them but it doesn't show the correct ones.

It only works with Broker for me. Have to use it to start or can't connect. The server will start as a process without broker but there is no connectivity to it. Starting with Broker it works. No Windows Firewall is enabled.

No monitoring of process works for now because it starts 2 processes and crashes server over some time causing corrupt saves and huge rollbacks.

According to this, the server will not show on the list unless you are logged in to steam via the steam client. This would explain why it doesn't show on the server list when not running through the broker. It's pretty crummy the devs would do it this way; i'd hope it's a bug and they will fix it.

As for having two processes; I'd disable advanced/query monitoring for now. Also ensure that when you stop the server the process actually closes if you're using graceful shutdowns.

@Masher

I've found that link but honestly I''m not logged in to steam via the steam client when running my server.

There is quite a bit of miss information going on about hosting. I'm using steam cmd only and no client and I'm able to see the server fine with the broker. I'm running on dedicated hardware as well so it's just steamCMD and the server files with app ID. I did validate the download with my credentials but no steam client is on the server.
