Ok, I dont see any glaring issues in the yaml (it is EXTREMELY touchy about where spaces are, and no tabs allowed). There is a log file the server dumps out, and you can find it in the base game folder: /logs/ and look at the latest Dedicated_##.log. If you have any playfield logs, look in those too. The connection logs should not be helpful, but if you are curious, go ahead and check the latest on that as well. If the error is happening during server setup, it will be in the log. If its crashing before the program even begins to go, then it might not be there at all (no logs at all).
Not crashing at all as far as the log is concerned but I can't connect and my friends can't Code: Initialize engine version: 5.3.5p3 (4c1fbb057dc3) Forcing GfxDevice: Null NullGfxDevice: Version: NULL 1.0 [1.0] Renderer: Null Device Vendor: Unity Technologies Begin MonoManager ReloadAssembly Platform assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\UnityEngine.dll (this message is harmless) Loading C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\UnityEngine.dll into Unity Child Domain Platform assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll (this message is harmless) Loading C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll into Unity Child Domain Platform assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll (this message is harmless) Loading C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll into Unity Child Domain Platform assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\Assembly-UnityScript.dll (this message is harmless) Loading C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\Assembly-UnityScript.dll into Unity Child Domain Platform assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll (this message is harmless) Loading C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll into Unity Child Domain Platform assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\Utils.dll (this message is harmless) Loading C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\Utils.dll into Unity Child Domain Platform assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\EasyAntiCheat.Server.dll (this message is harmless) Loading C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\EasyAntiCheat.Server.dll into Unity Child Domain - Completed reload, in 0.091 seconds Platform assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\System.dll (this message is harmless) Platform assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\System.Core.dll (this message is harmless) UnloadTime: 1.697492 ms 27-19:23:01.308 -LOG- **************************************************************************************************************************************** 27-19:23:01.323 -LOG- Dedicated server version: Alpha 2.0.3 0484 27-19:23:01.323 -LOG- Alpha 2.0.3 0484, 64 Bit, Win, DRAM: 16378MB, OS: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (6.0.6002) 64bit, CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5410 @ 2.33GHz (8), Gfx: NULL 1.0 [1.0]/ VRAM=128/ SL = 2 27-19:23:01.323 -LOG- RELEASE: urlInstance 27-19:23:01.323 -LOG- **************************************************************************************************************************************** 27-19:23:01.323 -LOG- Parsing server configfile: C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Empyrion - Galactic Survival/EmpyrionDedicated_Data/../dedicated.yaml 27-19:23:01.432 -LOG- Parsing server config file successfully completed 27-19:23:02.680 -LOG- Game dat not found, creating new one 27-19:23:02.696 -LOG- Faction statistics enabled 27-19:23:02.696 -LOG- Mode=valuesHeader, Seed=2309115, UniqueId=1039376726, EntityId=1 27-19:23:02.743 -LOG- Start Game 27-19:23:02.743 -LOG- Unity network started listening on port 30000 27-19:23:02.930 -LOG- Telnet server started on port 30004 Platform assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\System.Configuration.dll (this message is harmless) Platform assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\System.Xml.dll (this message is harmless) 27-19:23:03.024 -LOG- Now listening for PfServers on port 30003 Setting up 2 worker threads for Enlighten.

Well, one other person mentioned that very same error dialog, but no results were ever posted or followed up with a solution or even reason. So, kind of a mystery. Are all your windows updates up to date? Do you have your firewall configured to allow the allowed range of 10 ports? When you try to connect to the server yourself, are you using your WANIP, or your Local IP?
Yea windows is up to date. Windows firewall is allowing all traffic from the dedicated server exe in and out. Router is configured for to allow traffic from just 30000-30004. Will try increasing it to 30010
Both UDP and TCP separately? I think 30000-30004 are UDP, while 30005 is TCP. I am not for sure, as my setup is a bit different.
increased the port range, still can't connect to server and still getting that error message. WAN/LAN both will not work. and yea UDP/TCP is open for all ports.
Well. Themida is clearly being a snit with you. Sooooo....... theres some 'this worked for me!' posts in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/383120/discussions/2/535152511374539294/ YMMV. Please do respond here if one of the multiple solutions in that thread help. I'd start with the reinstall of steam and the game on that server OS. Follow it by checking into the anti virus you use.
Well I just read over that thread and apparently vista is not supported and Server 2008 is based off Vista code so that may be the problem.
But .... but .... NONSENSE! LOL, It used to be supported. I wonder if the new unity engine changed that. Well bugger. You don't by chance have win7 or higher on any machines to use? Although, there are some windows 8 posters in there with the exact same problem. So I'm thinking its solvable, but maybe running on vista/2008 might be a dangerous endevour.
I tried just now opening it up on my windows 10 machine and it started up fine. So I will rebuild my server with a newer OS. Thanks for the help!
Hello, My dad and I both own a copy of the game. I would like to set up a dedicated server on our media PC so the server is out of the way and we can actually shut off our computers. Are the dedicated server files standalone or do we need to have another steam account and another copy of the game just to run the server on another computer?
I'm new to this, but I can help on this question, because I've done the exact same thing: You don't need steam to run the dedicated server, just copy the Empyerion Galactica folder from either of your steam installation folders (for me I found under ..\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\) and copy it to your HTPC. Next, you can easily follow the directions on setting up a new server found here: http://empyrion.gamepedia.com/Dedicated_Server_Setup I don't think you'll need to worry about the port forwarding stuff if you're not looking to allow players external to your home network to log in, so all you'll need to do, after getting the dedicated server up and running, is probably what you're already doing to play together, on instead of entering one or the other's IP address, you'd both enter the IP of your media PC. If you get brave and want to start adding in planets, get Notepad++ to edit the YAML files, it's free, and you'll be less confused by the wall of text affect in regular Notepad. Oh and make backups, before editing, good god backup backup back up... Hopefully this helps.
Although this is correct, it makes updating the server files with new updates a bit more of a hassle. I run my private DS on my HTPC as well. Although all of us using it have different steam accounts and EGS game purchases, I do use my one steam account and single purchase to install and run the EGS DS for us all to connect too. As for the updates, I would turn off AUTO updates for the HTPC DS. Do them manually after you shut down the EGS server... otherwise steam has been known to try and auto-update the DS while its running LOL!
To do this would I need to set steam to offline mode so steam does not detect the same steam account running on two computers, or can I run a server logged into a single account on both computers? (Dedi server and game client)
You can run steam on multiple computers at once on the same account. It mirrors friend chat though, so you may want to 'go offline' on the htpc.
Having a bit of a problem. Rented space on GTX, got the game running, everything works fine... except: My son has 2 PCs, he can connect to the server with one, but cannot with the other. We've tried verifying the game cache on the affected machine, uninstalling and installing. We've removed the password, added the password back, turned off the firewall, added the ports to his home router just in case... he still can't connect on that one machine. Here's the weird thing, it WILL connect to other servers, just not the one we've rented. A friend of his tried logging in with his Steam account, same issue on this machine. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Hello. First I want to say: Great game, bought it immediately after it was recommended to me on Steam. Tried a little, liked it a lot, wanted to play with my friends and signed up with Nitrado for a server. Got the server up and running in no time (I ran a Minecraft server some time ago and have some experience in doing these things), then configured it to "Creative" and no drones. Restarted, but I keep getting attacked by drones and aliens. I used the Nitrado config-Interface for configuration and then checked the YAML-file if the correct values were entered there by the web form. Looks good to me, but still I get killed almost immediately after I log in. Halp!
You are getting drones in a Creative set game??? That sounds more like a bug, than a configuration error.
It looks to me as if the configuration is ignored completely even after a server restart Edit: This is how the config looks like: Code: GameConfig: GameName: NewGame_0 Mode: Creative Seed: 2309115 DecayTime: 2 WipeTime: 0 ProtectTime: 96 MaxStructures: 200 AntiGriefDistance: 30 EnableTrading: GlobalVirtual DiffEscapePodContent: Easy DiffAmountOfOre: Normal DiffNumberOfDeposits: Normal DiffDroneBaseAttack: 'Off' DiffDronePresence: 'Off' DiffEnemySpawnRate: Normal DiffAttackStrength: Easy DiffConstrCraftTime: Normal DiffBpProdTime: Normal
