Ok having some issues with my GameUserSettings.ini files

[GunRunneR 0]

So apparently there are 2 GameUserSettings.ini files that are being polled when you launch your server.

 

One in /DNL/Saved/Config/CleanSourceConfigs

 

One in /DNL/Saved/Config/WindowsServer

 

Somehow my settings I want to use for the server are mixed into BOTH ini files (i.e. Tame, Resource, and XP multipliers are in the CleanSourceConfigs ini file and not in the WindowsServer ini file)

 

This is really causing issues when trying to add or modify setting for the server, because for example I added

PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=0.500000 PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0.500000 into my WindowsServer ini file, where they got scrubbed and instead on reboot placed into the CleanSourceConfigs and back to default settings, which now I can not modify because they keep reverting to default 1x settings.

 

I honestly dont know whats going on, all I know is I just want to be able to modify ONE ini files, which in my experience has always been the WindowsServer

 ini file.

 

I have tried deleting both ini files in hopes the server on reboot would place "clean" versions of these files, but no go.

 

 

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Ok just went and did this, step by step.

 

1. Stopped server.

 

2. Used Filezilla to connect to ftp.

 

3. Opened /DNL/Saved/Config/CleanSourceConfigs/GameUserSettings.ini

 

4. Found PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=1.00000 and PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=1.00000

 

5. Removed both these items and saved file. Verified by re opening they were removed.

 

6. Opened /DNL/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/GameUserSettings.ini in filezilla

 

7. Added PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=0.50000 and PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0.50000 at bottom of settings area.

 

8. Saved file, verified changes were saved and in the fle by reopening it.

 

9. Disconnected from server in filezilla.

 

10. Hit start in my survivalservers control panel.

 

11. Let server fully load.

 

12. Checked /DNL/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/GameUserSettings.ini in filezilla, PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=0.50000 and PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0.50000 were scrubbed and gone.

 

13. Opened /DNL/Saved/Config/CleanSourceConfigs/GameUserSettings.ini and found PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=1.00000 and PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=1.00000 back in here again, and reverted back to default values.

 

 

I either want to know what I am doing wrong here, and if possible CLEAN GameUserSettings.ini files so I can properly manage my server.

Please put in a support ticket if you have not already, this looks like a job for.... The Tech Support Team! =p

But seriously, they'll help you get this one sorted, as there could be an issue on the backend with it doing that.

Yah it was pretty crazy, eventually the solution was to move/reinstall the server with a backup.

 

Props tho to Steven White for the support, he took the time to try and figure it out and kept in constant contact!

Yeah, Steven is a great guy. Super helpful and on point with his support. =)
