I have found that if your game doesn't show up in game you can manually add it to favorites in steam and it shows up in game under the favorites filter. Now some times in steam I have to add 1 to the port number to get it to return server info. So if your ip info is 192.168.10.34:25250 and you add that to favorites but get on data back ( shows not responding ) if you change it to 192.168.10.34:25251 it will return the correct server info. This appears to be an issue with the way steam looks for servers and returns the data because it happens in other games (such as ARK) as well.

The relaxed/purist setting is in the Serversettings.ini Should be in the Change Config Tool somewhere. ServerCommunity=0 0=None 1=Purist 2=Relaxed 3=Hard Core 4=Role Playing 5=Experimental

When your server is running the game automatically does a save command at preset intervals or when you stop your server. These are located in your /saved folder as Game.db (for the most current one) Game_Backup_1.db Game_Backup_2.db and so on. I think it saves about 50 of these (not real sure and cant check at the moment ). When you boot up your server it takes the Game.db and uses it to load your world. What SS is talking about is they had a system that would make a copy of your /saved folder a couple times a day/ This came in handy if you had a corruption you could go preform a restore from back up and go back to that time. They have a problem with the system that makes those backups and for now if you want that extra security you should use FTP and go in and make a copy of the /saved folder on your own. Make a little more sense ?

Good catch! I was helping someone the other day with WinSCP and they were just posting the error to me. If I had a screenie like that I might have caught it. They just ended up using filezilla and had no problem.

Yes I thank them for doing the correct thing. I would have stayed but i was down 50 plus hours and no reply to ticket i was a little upset.

all the news I have for ya.

*UPDATE:

Guess I bitched enough here, reddit, steam, and twitter. http://i.imgur.com/vnmJtfO.png Still willing to help where I can just PM me.

Communication is my big issue. been down over 40 hours and going on 50 hours on my ticket. Not a word to me. They have our money and really don't care if we are pissed off. If they did they would say something more than they are. I would lot rather hear.. "Hey we though we could get 6 VMs on every machine but we can due to the High CPU usage of the new patch. We are now in the process of spinning up new VMs on more machines. This will only allow use to get about 60% of affected machines up and going. It will Tuesday or wednesday before new machines are installed and at that time we can get back to 100%. We will be happy to prorate your bill next month to compensate ot offer a refund if you wish to cancel your services." What we currently have is ... " Conan fried our machines and we will be up when we are up."

get filezilla Input FTP info from your control panel (dont forget port is 21) once connected you have 2 file browsers the left is your PC the right is your sever open folders on the right till you see Saved Right click and download it (it goes to the current folder on the left ) Main thing you need is Game.db (your world) You can also grab ServerSettings.ini (your config) if you dont want to have to set it on the new provider... but I would it can prevent a server loading if not correct. It was a major cause last week for loading issues because SS had bad code and formatting.

^^^ Been screaming this for 2 days... Just not as nicely put.

I think he meant that as uggg that doesnt look good for SS. But I am not Benny or psychic (maybe a little psychotic) so i could be wrong.

Been that way since midnight sunday.
