READ FIRST - Important for SERVER OWNERS, ADMINS and PLAYERS!!

Dear Server Owners,

we already published our recommendation on the “stable dedicated server” settings. (READ)

As we detailed in the posting, we want to iterate on this and increase the stable environment step by step. But we need your help! That’s why we are asking you to send us Logs, Server-Savegames and telemetry – the more we get hands on, the faster we will progress.

Thanks to the reports we were receiving until now, we have identified eight common issues that your servers may also have been affected by.

So, if you or your players encounter the following issues, please save&exit the server and ALWAYS send us the all of the following infos/files (at least a+b; c-e are needed for some issues to be investigated):

a) the complete content of the folder “LOGS” (…\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Logs
b) Your server savegame (Very important for some of the issues!)
c) Any telemetry you have(f.ex. if you are running RAM or CPU monitoring tools, add the logs or screenshots of the TIME WHEN the issue happened)
d) Count of active Players + Active & Reserved Playfields when the issue happened
e) If the issue only happens on a certain playfield: Name and Size of the Playfield (RAM) at this timestamp

Overview of issues:

1. Overall Game Performance
Description: Connection lost, Lag or overall bad performance
Required Minimum: a-e

2. Vessels or Bases vanishing

3. Only Nametag of Vessel or Base visible

7. Internal Errors (global issue)

IMPORTANT -> Send us the Server LOGs + Savegame as soon as possible if you run into Exceptions or “CoQ” Errors!
Required Minimum: a+b; c-e recommened.

8. Devices or Items missing/changed into other devices/items
Descriptions: Devices like Warptanks or Jumpdrives are lost, Pentaxid vanishing from the tanks, Food turns into fuel packs or similar
ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT -> RAM/CPU load, active player count, active playfields, Errors or exceptions accompanying the issue.
Required Minimum: a-e

One word about granting us Server-Access: This is great and we will kindly accept, but it is not necessary, because we unfortunately won’t have the time to monitor all the servers accordingly.

It would be more important to receive the aformentioned files, so we can investigate the logs and the contents of the new info files that are created since the Alpha Release.

Thanks a lot for your dedicated help to improve the dedicated Server software!
