Hello, Having issues with a Satisfactory Server on AMP. Can anyone tell me how i get access to Savefiles? I have looked high and low with no luck. Thankyou In Advance.

Hello everyone, so i have followed all tutorials to the best of my ability, and i managed to get everything installed ect with not too much hassle using VNC. however, i go to pass through my GPU (GTX 1060 6GB) and all is still fine, it boots up, everything works in clover menu, it gets to login page of mac os and then i have no response from my passthrough mouse and keyboard? hopefully im just missing something, but any help is appreciated! Just to clarify, everything is functional, keyboard works during clover menu, but not in mac os itself. If any XMLs are required or further details regarding my system ect, feel free to ask. Thankyou in advance.

Interesting to know, if i do start to come across issues i may give that bios a shot, i assume all passthroughs ect work alright? I am also trying to OC my system, i think i may have got it stable at 4.8Ghz with 1.225V. I think... Do you have any ways of telling if cores are running at that speed within unraid? Cheers Edit: Nope, not stable lol, had it stressing for aprox 4-5 hours then jinxed it as i posted this.. damn, 1.28 it is then.

Nevermind! Not an unraid issue, windows firewall blocked nvidias gamestreaming service for some reason, i will leave thread here incase someone gets into the same pickle i was in.

I also have never differed from the norm, so unfortunately i cannot give any advice or experience with that.

I Believe that, or atleast what i took from is, was going into windows power settings and making sure its on the high performance power plan rather than power saving.

Sounds similar to the issue i was having, are you on 6.3.5? or are you on pre-release? as me and heretic found being on pre-release helped our performance issue. I have also heard alot about ryzen not being greatly optimised for unraid yet, although it seems they have been making alot of progress recently, but i cant be sure. As for the high performance mode, not sure if its different for amd or not, but you have to install the 'tips and tweaks' plugin for unraid, accessible through the GUI, once in the plugin, you will have a list of tweaks for your unraid server, many of them i dont fully understand, and it also has details for your current settings down the right side, but one of the tweaks was about CPU Scaling Governor which i set to performance, what this does is sets all your cores to run at max frequency regardless of load. I also had to make sure that my BIOS settings were to allow the OS to control Power Management settings.

I will see if i can get my clocks up that high over next few days when i get some spare time. Hopefully wont be too much hassle, but will soon see. And yes definitely, not sure what games to try but im happy to give all the scored benchmarks a shot. And yes my VM is Identical, leaving core/threads 0-1/10-11 for unraid and 2-5/12-15 for this specific VM. Your 850 PRO is that mounted outside of the array using unassigned devices? thats how i have mine set up.

Thats very good to hear, i am having a new issue with the gamestream feature from nvidia, dont know if you know anything about that haha, but your 4.8Ghz overclock, is that stable? As im looking to squeeze abit more from my chip, i assume you had to give voltages a bump ect, how are your temps? But back on topic, i will be getting some time to play tomorrow, will see if i get similar results. Thankyou for your replies.

Hello everyone, i am having issues with nvidia gamestreaming and i hope the helpful unraid community are able to help! I will try my best to be as helpful with the information i provide as possible. Brief rundown of Specs: 2 Windows 10 VM's for gaming and general use. Intel 7900x 10 core CPU with 24GB RAM- Both VM's with 4 Core/8 Thread. VM1 with 12GB RAM. VM2 with 6GB RAM. All cores paired with relevant thread. Both VM's on SSD's outside of array. CPU core isolated and pinned. 2TB hdd storage split for both VM's. VM1 With GTX 1080TI passsthrough using Vbios rom. VM2 with 1060 6GB. Now the issue im facing, is i have a Nvidia Shield TV in the next room which i usualy would stream games too before the unraid build, however since running unraid, i can longer do so. I have all latest drivers for nvidia and i have even gone as far as using DDU and reinstalling, no help. I have gone into services however and noticed that the nvidia gamestream service is nowhere to be found, and was unable to find much on google to help that, i booted back into my old SSD with my untouched win10 installation on and gamestreaming was working fine with same drivers. So now i am at a bit of a loss and wondering if this is a unraid issue or is atleast known and someone has fixed before. PS: Unraid version 6.3.5 is currently installed, after downgrading from 6.4rc17 as nvidia driver installations was causeing server crashes. Thankyou in advance!

Just a heads up, although you may have figured this out already, but for updating video drivers i had to revert back to 6.3.5, constant freezing would occur every single time and vm would lock up and would be unable to navigate GUI forcing a hard reset!

Very similar to my setup then, what GPU's? As i too have 2 VM's for gaming, one with 1080ti and one with 1060 6GB. I Have upgraded to 6.4, and i have definitely noticed a performance increase, but i am still getting the odd dip in FPS which i believe to be cpu related as it will be the same fps at ultra as it is at medium/low on Playerunknowns Battlegrounds. Going as low as 30fps on my 1080ti which is worse than the 1060 had on bare metal. But Playerunknowns is the main game id like to know, or anything else you may have thats relatively intensive. Do you have a 3rd gpu or are you doing a manually specifying a ROM file like i am? I also noticed that when booting up the PC into unraid, to the screen that says 'Tower login', it specifies that the CPU governer is set to 'power saving' when i have it set too performance in tips and tweaks and it also claims it as being in performance mode within tips and tweaks. Any help is appreciated. Thankyou.

I will certainly give that a try then! May i ask, what sort of performance are you getting now that your up too 6.4? Essentially im wondering what gpus you have and if your planning on playing games, what games are you getting good fps on ect, just want to be able to compare and see if i can match ect, thankyou:)

Im glad its not just me, Ive noticed that there isnt much x299 on here regarding gaming setups, is there a reason why? Hopefully this will be sorted soon as ive ran out of ideas.

Does anyone have any ideas or solutions to my issues? Im out of ideas and havent found much online to help, i have tried resetting everything up from scratch after reformatting all drives ect and deleting all VM's but end up with same result at the end. I feel like i must be missing something somewhere. Thankyou in advance.

All of the suggested above has been done, all in performance modes ect, and through ssh all cores have been set to minimum of 4ghz, just to test if its possibly just scaling poorly, but still dont understand why my 2nd vm affects the performance on vm1 cpu wise, they arent shareing cores and accord to unraids system devices they aint shareing threads either, so thats where im currently at, still no improovement on performance though unfortunately, thankyou for your reply, its much appreciated:)

Also just to add, i have done BIOS update, with no improvements unfortunately. I also noticed that through BIOS my cpu is clocked at 4GHZ. However the task manager on one vm says 3.45GHZ and vm2 says 3.3GHZ which is stock speed, is this normal? Any help is appreciated!

Good evening all, have been reading through the forums alot, but this is my first post! So to begin, a little backstory... I have been looking into getting into unraid for quite some time, not necessarily because i need to or its hugely beneficial, but mostly because i find it interesting and its something fascinating and not widely adopted.. however, it does also have a purpose, space saving! I currently have a spare room in the house which has been dubbed 'Computer Room' however, it is rather small, and ideally i am to fit 2 PC's in, which is easily possible with 2 towers, however i like my 2 monitors for myself and my partner has a monitor for themself. And its also easily possible by just buying a laptop, in which i do already own two, but again, i prefer the upgradability of desktop PC's. So all in all, yes it would be easier and less hassle, and likely cheaper just to build 2 seperate PC's, however, for one, i dont want too for various reasons as stated above, and also, ive already got the hardware i plan to use. Now that the backstory is out of the way, my hardware for my unraid build.. Intel Core i9 7900X 10-core CPU Asus Strix-E x299 Mobo 24GB DDR4-3000 Ram (Planned to be upgraded) 1x Samsung 850 Evo SSD 500GB 1x Samsung 850 Pro SSD 512GB 1x 2TB Hdd 1x GTX 1080ti Strix 1x GTX 1060 6GB Strix EVGA Supernova 850 G2 PowerSupply USB 3.0 PCI-E card Bequiet! Dark Base Pro 900 Case All Custom loop water-cooled - including GPUs + Mobo VRMs. UNRAID VERSION 6.3.5 So thats my PC, and i have already setup unraid using its free trial key, and it is working, but not properly.. What i vision being the perfect setup is basically what i have, which is 2 windows 10 VM's: 1st VM to consist of: 4-Core/8-Thread 12GB RAM GTX 1080ti USB Controller Passthrough Installed on Samsung 850 Pro SSD+portion of 2TB HDD for storage. 2nd VM to consist of: 4-Core/8-Thread 8GB RAM GTX 1060 6GB PCI-E USB card passthrough Installed on Samsung 850 Evo SSD+portion of 2TB HDD for storage. The above i currently have running succesfully, and is what im currently typing on right now.. All passthroughs are working as id hoped, with the 1080ti having to have the vbios rom file manually inputted into XML file, which is succesful and USBs also working as hoped with hot-swappable ports (thanks to passing through whole USB controller on both VM's). All sounds good right? Unfortunately no, that is where my joy ends, i will firstly point out that VM1 is going to be used primarily for gaming and general PC taks, and VM2 primarily used for lighter gaming and photo editing with document writing ect also. Gaming is where my issue begins.. the performance is VERY poor compared to what id expect, even the VM in general is slower than id expect from an SSD or even a HDD at some point and even occasionally getting mouse stutters. The symptoms of the gaming performance is, using Player Unknowns Battlegrounds as test game, Running on VM1 (1080ti VM) id be at a rock solid 60fps at any settings (V-sync) but only when standing still, once looking around the FPS drops to around 15-20ish, sometimes worse.. In past experience i believe this to be CPU bottleneck, but i may be wrong. I have tried more cores on VM, less cores on VM, disabling hyperthreading all together, none of which helped.. After a quick search i come around CPU isolating an CPU pinning, and continued to set that up, however i do not believe anything has changed at all, i will be posting all XML files below (VM1+VM2+Flash config XML) I also believe that even though i have assigned certain cores (paired with relevant threads using CPU pairings in system devices) to each of the VM's, they are affecting eachother, i have tested this by having both running and setting up a CPU cryptocurrency miner.. I started off with the one VM running miner, and it was doing approx 200 hashes (speed) while the second VM was idle. Secondly i tried running the miner on both VM's simultaneously, As soon the second VM started to mine, the 1st VM dropped its speed down to 130 hash, and the second VM sitting around 150 hash. Also as a side note, i have the 2TB hdd in the array by itself, the 850 Evo is currently set as a cache drive and my 850 pro is mounted outside the array/cache using unassigned devices, this setup gave me best general performance when installing windows ect, having both as unassigned or both as cache led to VERY sluggish speeds. I also would prefer to have the SSD's seperated between the VM's so would prefer not to have both in cache, so can use full 500GB on each VM. Not sure what exactly im doing wrong, i do have a few theories which im hoping to test over this weekend, first of which being BIOS update, which i can easily do, and second being maybe PSU not powerful enough? i do not currently have a way to test this unless i undervolt GPUs ect, but i would have thought 850W plus Gold PSU would be able to handle this hardware.
