it is configured to 'Yes'

That's why it isn't working, you have to set it to 'Only' or 'Prefered' since the container has to be on the Cache drive (otherwise it won't run properly) every time the Mover moves the files from the Cache drive to the Array the game won't work properly since it moves the game files and Backups to the Array and the game executable searches for the files on the Cache drive.

 

Hope that makes sense to you...

Can it be that you have CA Backup running and that's why it skipped? Something must have happened between 2021-03-08_06.25.11 and 2021-03-09_04.12.34 but I can't tell you what seems like the container wasn't running or something eslse happened.

 

Can you try to restore the world on your local computer and see if it loads?

Eventually try to also completely delete the old world files and not just replace it, have you stopped the container in the first place, please also look into the template if anything has changed and if the world name is correct.

Ok to confirm. 

 

If i restore my backup directly back into the appdata folder. files are 42mb each. if i start the container and join the server. the files reset to 3mb. 

 

if i restore locally then copy over my world works. However all spawn points are reset.

Thank you. That makes sense. And I do see that in the install instructions. I guess I missed it on setup.

 

It does look like it failed on the save that would have been right as the mover was starting.

You have to ask on the Valheim Discord/Forums/Steam Community Hub if this is a known problem...

 

Have you checked the Docker template if everything matches your save game?

 

I don't think it's a problem with the container since I run it also and have no problems so far.

Apologies if this a simple error on my part. First time adding a game server (Valheim). Clean install of the docker, default settings, both server and steamcmd paths set to the cache (no move). 

 

I keep getting the same error from the server log...last two lines below. I've let it run for approx 3 hours, this sequence repeats but the server itself doesn't seem to start. I haven't manually changed any of the files (eg. start-server.sh)

Have you set the password to at least 5 characters?

Yes. (7)

Can you try to stop the container delete the valheim directory that is located in your appdata, then also delete the container and after that try to redownload it from the CA App and see if it works with the default settings?

Don't know if that looks right to you (on the right side is water and on the left it goes up I think a mountain... :D, doesn't reset in my case😞

grafik.thumb.png.abe9ff4e62811dbb5c4389689be5ea98.png

doesnt look right. the server is Fox Server

 

the very old one is FoxServer. At lest i know my backup issue was caused by a conflict with CA backup. Think ill have to accept that ive lost around 4 hours of game play

I'm currently trying to get a Valheim server set up, though after I start the container I can not find the server through the steam server browser, when I enter the IP address and port and click "Find games at this address" I just get a message "Server is not responding"


 When I look at the logs of the container I see one error message but am not sure how to fix it.

I've attached the full startup log below.

Done as you wrote and with all default settings everything works. Public posting to server list and stable for a few hours.

 

I'm going to start changing the server name, world name, password, one by one to see what happens. I did make sure the password was not the world name. Will report back if with results.

Server name and password changed - all works.

 

The only steps I did different from when it didn't work:

 

1. steamcmd was on mnt/cache instead of default mnt/user

 

2. On first install I didn't have steamcmd on the server at all. I did try to remove the image and delete both steamcmd and valheim directories before asking for help. However, this time (your advice) I only deleted the valheim directory and left the steamcmd director - then reinstalled the docker with default settings. Not sure if that makes a difference but now it works.

 

Thanks for your response!

when I enter the IP address and port

Which IP adress and which port are you using? Have you clicked refresh after adding the server?

You have to use YOURIP:PORT+1 (eg: 192.168.1.1:2467)

That is only a warning and nothing to worry about.

 

Your startup log looks just fine.

Please read the second recommended post on the top of this thread.

It is the local IP of my unraid server 192.168.1.14:2457, I left the ports default. It is also inaccessable from my public IP, and I do have the ports forwarded on my router. I tried refreshing as well and got nothing. I did take a read through that post earlier, I'll try again shortly and make sure I explicitly follow all directions, but I believe I did.

Please try the same as in this post and the followed up post:

 

Don't know why it isn't working for some users on the first star/install but this solves the problem in 100% of the cases. :)

Howdy! I recently downloaded the ARK dedicated server. Im trying to change the "GameUserSettings"  but it says i do not have permission to open this file  but i can change anything else in this folder .

Have you tried to restart the container yet?

The permissions should be set on the container start.

What you can also try is to install the CA Config Editor from the CA App and edit it with this.

Having the same issue.. anything to do with the recent update to 6.9.1? Docker get updated? I was trying to install the 0.9.5 alpha to do some testing.. but getting the issue below. I have tried deleting, reinstalling, default settings, etc. Here is the pastebin of my log https://pastebin.com/ecGCk8mt and just sent you the alpha 0.9.5 files of V+ for unix server/windows client in the event you want them.

What issue exactly?

Nothing of both, it has nothing to do with Unraid and the last Docker update was made 7days and 10hours ago since my container updates the game and ValheimPlus itself on every start/restart.

Are you sure?

I now tried it also with the default settings and enabled Valheim+ (that's the only thing I changed) and this is the log output: valheim.log

 

And I also think that Valheim+ is working (never actually used Valheim+ before):

grafik.thumb.png.9b5412484529187907b34abae6c695d8.png

 

 

EDIT: Please do the following steps:

  1. Delete the Container
  2. Delete the 'valheim' folder from your 'appdata' directory
  3. Grab a fresh copy of Valheim from the CA App
  4. Set Enabel ValheimPlus to 'true' (without quotes)

 

You can change all other values later on...

 

Please also make sure that your share where the folder 'valheim' is located is set to use the cache "Only" or "Preferred" otherwise the Mover will completely mess up the game and it won't even run anymore...

Yes, it is on cache only. It must be something with their 0.9.5 files as I have tried the above process (and other variants for the past 8 hours without any luck.

 

It's odd, because the same error happened to someone who was using the 0.9.4 files and in a different docker environment. Which is what made me think there may have been another change.

The V+ dev said the only change they did was put some " into the start server/game.sh, however, I tried just copy & paste the 0.9.4 sh files and same issue. Must be something else they'll have to sort out.

Thanks for looking into it at least and I'll report back if I find out anything else.
