Yes. There should be a folder named Saves on your server. Inside that folder is serveradmin.xml

Could the LiteNetLib being unable to connect help point to the problem??? Seems like I've seen that being part of others with connection issues.....

Put this in your serveradmin.xml file: <user SteamID="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" permission_level="0" /> where xxxxxxxxxxxx is your steam id; you don't need to put your name. The quotation marks are needed and there is an extra space after "0" before /> This is copied directly from my own server file so I know that it works. If you have entered this correctly, when you join the server, on the player list your name is preceded by star. If there is no star, there's a syntax error in your serveradmin.xml file. That file also shows at which admin level you get certain commands. Let me know if this works. your name is optional so let's keep it out for now

In case you weren’t aware, Madmole got his start in games by making mods for Skyrim if I remember correctly. So he really understands what should be modded and what should come from the developers. I would expect to see quite high-end unique stuff from any dlc while continuing to support the great stuff coming from the modding community.

Let’s make sure you are doing things correctly. In order to issue admin commands, you hit F1 to open the conole then you type dm then enter. You should see a response that dm was successful. If typing dm was unsuccessful, then there must be something wrong in the serveradmin.xml. So firstly, was the dm command successful?? You can’t issue admin commands until you’ve entered dm successfully

You need to make yourself the admin of the server. In the servers Saves folder, there is a file called serveradmin.xml. Open that file(edit the file) and there are instructions on how to make yourself and anyone else you want to be admin with various levels of authority. For yourself, you want to give yourself level 0 to be full admin.

There should be a file called serveradmin.xml in your servers Saves folder. Edit that file to make him admin 0. Instructions are included on how to do so in that file.

Good question, just the one I’m renting but I’ve had it for 3 years. Thanks for the suggestion, I will try another dedicated server. Playing on my own rented server that’s private, I don’t run eac on either the server or my machine for obvious reasons. So I’ll re-enable eac and play a couple of nights on a different server. Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, even with a different engine, it would be hard to get loads of zombies unless there was a big change to the game itself. Somewhere, in the far recesses of my mind, I remember talk on these forums a few years ago that removing underground mining might free up enough resources for things like more zombies but I could be misremembering. One of our forum members actually did some testing, I don't think it was Guppycur but I'm pretty sure he was part of the discussion. If he reads this, maybe he could remember more details. I do know that having a fully destructible world is one of the main reasons we can't have lots of zombies. A sequel where the game is not fully destructible and we get more zombies, more items etc would be a neat idea for a sequel.

Just wanted to give an update to this problem of mine. I turned off Game Sparks.....still got disconnected. I turned off antivirus at the router.....still getting disconnected. So, I don't really know where to go from here. Since it only started once I changed to Spectrum for internet and bought a new router, somehow, one of those 2 things are the culprit but I have no idea how to dig deeper. My router settings are default and I went through those settings and didn't see anything odd or different from other routers settings I've seen in the past. My connection is wired, I've tried rebooting the router just before playing to no avail. No one else is on my internet when this happens. Typically, I play for about 3 or 4 hours most evenings and I lose the ability to interact with the game anywhere from 1-2 times an evening. I wish I had some odd set up that I could blame but it's pretty generic. I've checked firewall settings, verified that my Steam folder is excluded from Windows Defender. Any other thoughts of how I might work through this further would be appreciated. Thanks folks!

Oh and there has not been any official release date provided by TFP as of today.

If I understand you correctly, you need to determine which region(s) your area is in, back up those regions then after generating the new map, replace your generated map region(s) with your backup. I assume it would only work if both seeds were identical.

Back to OP’s original question…….if you read Steams rules or whatever they are called, when you buy any game through Steam, you are not buying a copy of the game, you are buying access to the game through Steam. So if you do something stupid and Steam bans you, you lose access to any ‘purchased’ games through Steam. You can’t take any games with you if you lose Steam. So do developers owe you anything? Absolutely not as the legal agreement is between you and Steam, not the developers of any game. However, good developers do try to do what they initially claimed. That being said, those that were involved in the Kickstarter for the game, it may be a different scenario.

What about not spending any points? Now that would be hardcore survival. No bacon/eggs until/unless you find the recipe in loot. Only using existing workstations, only using tools that you find except for level 1 stone tools. This might be too severe but I might just try it one day.

I'm pretty far from a computer expert so take my info considering that. Could it be that EAC disabled desktop shortcuts in order to prevent some 'hacks' to avoid EAC detection?? That's a reach, I know, but maybe an email to EAC support could verify if that is the case. I haven't gotten into EAC too much like I did with other anticheat systems like Punkbusters when I hosted a bunch public servers for COD and Unreal Tournament but what I do know is that how and when cheat software is activated, determines how successful they are in going undetected. Just my 2 cents.

I’m going to try. I’ve been disappointed with the lack of adjustable settings with this router. The reviews are good, it has wifi 6 and I like the thought of antivirus/vpn at the router level but the settings are lackluster. I may, as part of testing, disable the antivirus portion. For me, I game and visit this forum so my need of antivirus is nill on my gaming rig but my wife, kids and grandkids use the network and I can’t trust all those devices not having antivirus.

Interesting. The only recent internet change on my end is I dropped ATT and went to Spectrum. I bought my own modem/router, Netgear Nighthawk Ax6000 CAX80. It is new tech, with antivirus and vpn at the router. I do not have the vpn active but the antivirus is working so any device connected to the network is protected. I have no proxies set up. My inkling is the router but I’m not sure how to figure it out. It’s interesting that the only connection that I lose is to the gameserver. I’ll try turning off the setting on the launcher for the services that gives feedback on what you choose during the game. If that doesn’t work, I’ll turn off the antivirus at the router. Googling the error leads to Unity forum discussions but no clear answer in language that I understand. I’ll give feedback as I try things.

I've got a connection issue that I'm stumped on. While playing on a dedicated server, I get zombies/players running in place, cannot interact with anything etc however I do not lose internet and maintain voip in Steam Chat. To the nitty gritty: Windows 10 Pro, dedicated server from Bluefang, no other players affected. Windows Defender is my antivirus and Steam folder is excluded. Game is 19.6 and no mods on the server nor do I have mods installed and never have had mods on this computer. Spectrum is my isp and I'm hardwired to the router. Here is my log: https://pastebin.com/embed_js/w4nBeyX3 Second time in an hour it happened again and this is the log: https://pastebin.com/embed_js/WBGxEvWZ I have done tracert a few times but not at the time of the crash and I never observed any packet loss. The server is in New York City, I am in Ohio. My ping is always a steady 45-50 and doesn't seem to change when this happens (although it's frozen at the time). Any thoughts? Any more info that you want? Thanks in advance.

Previous versions, I could have sworn that bags dropped more often with headshots but that might have been coincidence. With A19, I’ve tried to find a trigger but no luck so far. With our blood moon set to 12 zombies, 2 players…sometimes we get 5 bags on horde night, sometimes we get 30 bags. Is it rng or is there a trigger? No idea.

I just chiming in here to say what an amazing video Jug!!! I am just blown away by how you did that test. There is no doubt that op’s questions were answered in an impressive way. Thanks for that.

Pepsi with real sugar before 10pm. After 10 pm, either a glass of Malbec or Woodford on ice depending on my mood.

I have the g502 also, my favorite of the Logitech mice. I'm on my second one after wearing out the first after a few years of daily, multi-hour gaming sessions. It fits my hand nicely, perfect weight and the buttons program the way I like. I don't use the multiple dpi settings as I no longer play competitive fps games.

Have you witnessed any wandering hordes in A20 yet? Specifically, are they wandering again? A19 wandering hordes just stand around a lot.

I have pretty much the same rig as OP and have zero issues. My psu is 1000 watts Corsair platinum and power doesn't seem to be an issue. The 5950x runs about 53 degrees after an hour of playing 7 days. I'm air-cooled with a Noctua fan set up and have a huge case with plenty of case fans helping out. This was my very first amd build and didn't realize that you needed to be carefull of your ram speed with amd cpu's. I bought 4200mhz ram when, in fact, the max speed for the 5950x is 3800. If I try to go past 3800mhz, my system becomes quite unstable and either constantly reboots or won't even leave setup. Leaving it at 3800 and the system runs great. So maybe take a look at your ram speed?? Just a thought....

Please post your log file using the instructions in the pinned thread above. This will give us hints. Also it helps to post details about your rig and version of video drivers currently installed. With those 2 things, someone will be able to sort things out for you. Without those 2 things, no one can help.
