Hi, today i installed a new Windows Machine, i got the VCRUNTIME.dll not existing errors.
After installing the Visual C++ Redistributable it works just fine.

Where i downloaded:
https://learn.microsoft.com/de-DE/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

Server and script have been running flawlessly for months.
Today the server has been restarting every 10 minutes since its 4am restart.
each log file showing the script thinks the server is due for a restart.

NextRestart: 01/01/2024

I suspect the script is only using the day and month,
Since those two values are now less than current it believes it needs to restart.

The template has the below:
#Name of the Server Instance
Name = $Name

Might be better to understand if it was this:
#Name of the Server Instance
Name = "Name"

Followed your instructions. Server is finally running after suffering through figuring out how to get rid of the Visual C++ error message. I am on a fresh Windows 11 install. The Icarus server is not visible in the "Dedicated Servers" list, and is not available by direct connect either.

• netstat -an | Select-String 27015 shows the server machine is listening on the port.
• netstat -an | Select-String 17777 doesn't return anything, showing the server is not listening on this port.
• icarus.psm1 is set to both ports above.
• I have opened ports 27015 and 17777 TCP and UDP on both routers (I have two separate networks).
• Windows firewall has all ports opened for Icarus for UDP and TCP for private, public, and domain networks.
• The server's console window is open and showing the server is running, but no confirmation the server is listening on what ports.
• The server does not show in the "Dedicated Servers" list.
• The server is not available through direct connect in Icarus.

Don't know what to do from here.

I found these to be useful to monitor the status of the running servers:

Aeneas1@01e8c80
Aeneas1@cba08bb
Aeneas1@77c4d8c
Aeneas1@aedbd50

I am unsure what's going on here but its only affecting my Icarus Server after weekly update 108 hotfix. Server will start, but will only stay up for a very short amount of time (about 3minutes) before the client checks the server and it just automatically crashes sending it into a boot loop (where the scheduler will go round in circles because it crashed) Haven't been able to cleanly host it since using this really handy program.

I see the backup directory and folder structures but it's missing player and world .sav files

Automatic daily reboot does not work if the warning time is set to be greater than the task update time.

Timers = [System.Collections.ArrayList]@(1140, 600, 60)

With such a timer, the server sends only the first warning to the chat and then the next time the task is launched in the scheduler, it simply sets a new reboot time without completing the current task.

This stops the execution of the script.

Edit this value :

PowerShellGSM/global.psm1

Line 48 in 98dfc69

LockTimeout = 10

It did not help. It looks like the reboot script simply stops working after 5 minutes, or when the task starts.
I set the reboot to 5:00.
At 5:00

And then every 5 minutes for a 35 minute lock:

The daily reboot cycle never completed. So at some point the reboot script simply stops working, perhaps you need to initialize the launch of the run.cmd file, it reboots correctly with a 30-minute cooldown.

Auto-update with the same problem.

Both of my servers restart every 8 to 10 minutes, the config is set to 24 hours. Maybe the Windows schedule is wrong, it is executed every 5 minutes, or is this to check the Server status? Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hello,
i Get this error when i launch the script for satisfactory

I might have missed something, but how do we update PaperMC to the latest version? It's currently on version 1.17.1. In the Paperclip config I've set the update automatically option to true. However, when running the server it's not looking for updates. I tried updating it manually but the server fails to start (works again once changes are reverted).

I could not find a comment on how to let the servers start after a system restart, but luck had it, I only needed the chane the scheduler task from "Run only when user is logged on" to "Run when user is logged on or not" and enter the specific user's password.

having that in the docs would be great

Hi.
First of all, thanks for the awesome job creating this.

Project Zomboid requires \" enclosings for the text servermsg lines, so currently the servermsg are not arriving with server reboots.

I fixed the problem by adding the enclosings to the server config lines 162 & 165

#message that will be sent. % is a wildcard for the timer.
MessageMin = "`\`"The server will restart in % minutes !`\`""

#message that will be sent. % is a wildcard for the timer.
MessageSec = "`\`"The server will restart in % seconds !`\`""

I'm not 100% sure what the issue is, if this is an issue with my VPS, an issue with SteamCMD or an issue with PowerShellGSM (i'd assume one of the first two)...

I had a server up and running perfectly fine until I hadn't been on for a while and logged in to my VPS to see that it had restarted at some point and the server was no longer running. I ran the launcher again and waited on it booting up (everything looked fine) but nothing showed up in the server list.

I have downloaded CurrPorts to see what ports are showing for ArkAsendedServer and I currently see 27020 and 8888 under TCP with a State "Listening" and I can see 7777 under UDP but there is no state".

I'm really know nothing about networking so any advice/help would be appreciated.

Note: I have contacted the company I bought my VPS off of and they have basically told me there's nothing they can do...

Hello, I have tried to do the install on my windows server PC but I cannot get it to work. Could I get some help?

I have done Step 1 and 2 and 3 as good as I could but then I don't really understand to do with 4 and forward.

Hi there

Have a strange issue where the icarus server I setup was working great, but now the script won't run as the process is locked.

I can't figure out which process it's talking about though.

I've rebooted with no change.

I just copied my config to another folder and started from scratch with it downloading everything again with no change.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Add Documentation about the Monitoring functions, on how to use them manually (from the comandline or from other scripts)

When specifying a two-word priority value, for example Above Normal, neither priority assignment nor affinity works.
It is also necessary to assign affinity when starting the server, and not after the server is fully started. Because when loading, the server consumes resources from other applications. Also in this case it works slower due to the assignment to another Numa node.

Not sure if I am the only one, but the steam installer is looking for a beta version which is no longer out there. I was able to get past it by running steamcmd manually and leaving off the -beta switches. Everything else is good so far.

Issues with: https://gameservershub.com/forums/resources/ark-survival-ascended-serverapi-crossplay-supported.683/

The problem is telling the config file .psm1 to use the API's .exe file instead of the ArkAscendedServer.exe.

Changed the exec path to AsaApiLoader.exe instead of ArkAscendedServer.exe
But launching the server gives the error message Server not found.
Launching the Loader.exe manually with the same parameters does successfully start the server, but powershell cant launch the API.
What else needs to change? does PowershellGSM need an update?

I wrote a template for "Conan Exiles" which works fine for me, but please look for mistakes and add it to your repository if you wish.
(.txt cause .psm1 cant be uploaded)

Hello,
so the update 5 is now on the Early access Branch for satisfactory, if a user want to launch the Experimental branch server, it must be add
this parameter "-beta experimental"
full cmd = "steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental validate +quit"

so is it better to make a new powershell config file to have the 2 releases or a this variable in the conf file ?
"#Name of the Beta Build
BetaBuild = "Experimental"

Please add launch via AsaApiLoader.exe https://gameservershub.com/forums/resources/ark-survival-ascended-serverapi-crossplay-supported.683/

Auto update doesn't work for Ark survival ascended server. The task in the task manager works, adds new time to check Alive, update and restart to INI file. Alive check and daily restart work, while automatic update does not function.

When the task scheduler starts the background task every 5 minutes, there is a quick flash of a window that pops up and is distracting to the user as it can switch window focus. This affects me negatively as I run the server in the background so others can play while I may be doing other things on my computer. I was able to change that behavior by changing the task to "Run whether user is logged on or not" and "Do not store password.". I currently go in and manually change the task settings each time I start the server.

I am not a Windows or PowerShell person (I live on linux servers for work), but I wanted to share this to see if you could incorporate a solution into your scripts. I started using the scripts for ASA and love what you have done!

I know this game is picky but lunching it with this manager it doesnt work at all. I ended up creating a batch file un the server folder where live "rocketstation_DedicatedServer.exe"

using the PowerShell for Rust, I'd love to have the Oxide update included or optional.
If not a fit for the official version - I would try adding it myself. Let me know.

Currently using a batch file I run after manual shutdown, would need to integrate this into the PS:

cd C:\Servers\rustserver
md serveroxide
bitsadmin /transfer downloadOxide /download /priority normal https://umod.org/games/rust/download?tag=public C:\Servers\rustserver\serveroxide\Oxide-Rust.zip

thank you.

Sometimes my server crashes or a windows update got forced through.

I added a scheduler task to remove all .\servers*.LOCK files on system start.

Maybe, this could be added by default (when creating the game scheduler task)

has become "PalServer-Win64-Shipping-Cmd" on 04 APR 2024

Is it possible to set it to restart 2 times a day?

When the Password in the GSM config is empty, their is a addional " in the SessionName. Also the password in the GameUserSettings is set to "/"". When joining the Server a password is needed.

Hi there,

I've been using your scripts for a while now and, whilst most of the stuff is running perfectly fine, I do encounter a random issue. Sometimes the script fails to recognize that a server already exists and boots up a duplicate server using the same set up. This causes many headaches as 2 servers writing to the same files often lead to corruption of people's stuff in-game. I was wondering if there's a way to prevent this from happening. I included a screenshot of an error that I see pop up occasionally when trying to reboot the servers. The dupe issue is often the consequence of this error. Thank you in advance for the assistance!

i've deleted the installation and started from scratch twice. both times i've only used the ASE.psm1 script in configs to update server information. servers is running without errors being thrown, although I haven't seen the server on the list due to some port forwarding issues most likely. when i look at gameusersettings.ini I see that about half of the command line argument is being added to the serveradminpassword string for some reason. it is adding port, query port, rcon port, serverPVE, etc, when it shouldn't be. love the script so far, any help appreciated

First off, thank you for this script! It's awesome.

Just wanted to throw in a suggestion of allowing the user to set how long they want to keep the logs for (maybe in days) and then have the script do some cleanup. I had an issue with the process lock and generated almost 20,000 logs in the span of a week or so.

Great work and thanks again!

It looks like the old command ?MaxPlayers=100 doesn't work, you need to use this argument -WinLiveMaxPlayers=100.

Tell me how to check the stability of the server? I encountered a problem that after restarting for the update, two copies of the server started up with an interval of 20 minutes.

Good morning, everyone, I did the installation and everything went well on the ARK ASA server, but after less than 2 minutes the server closed by itself, what could it be?

Is it possible to somehow check for mod updates? If I'm not mistaken, the server updates mods only at startup, and mod updates are not checked during operation.

stated to use the PS a little bit ago - excellent work!

I was running into an issue with the temp-backup folder already existing error. Seems like the last backup was not correctly deleting the folder. This will exit the startup with error. (error: folder already exist in line 79 of Backup-Server.psm1. Maybe the compressor had a lock on the folder when the remove command was executed?
I fixed the problem by adding another remove folder (new line 79) before creating it again:
This works 100% now.

78: # Create a temporary directory

Hi there! recently I had an issue where a user was able to join my Icarus server without being required to enter the password configured in the configuration script (icarus.psm1>Password =).

I reviewed the logs and was unable to determine why, nor was I able to identify any malicious activity by the user.

There are over 100k lines in the log so I'm not sure what to share. :)

Seems there is a motor town server config on a fork, that could be pulled in.

Automatic daily reboot does not work if the warning time is set to be greater than the task update time.

Timers = [System.Collections.ArrayList]@(1140, 600, 60)

With such a timer, the server sends only the first warning to the chat and then the next time the task is launched in the scheduler, it simply sets a new reboot time without completing the current task.

This stops the execution of the script.

Hi, for my own usage, I created a small install/setup script that could be run by copy-pasting a single line into a powershell terminal.

You might want to have a look at it.

1. downloads the current PowerShellGSM scripts (no git needed) with a one-liner
2. allows to update the previously installed PowerShellGSM scripts
3. allows the selection of a server template by arrow keys + enter

rerunning the script allows to activate more templates and updating of the PowerShellGSM files

EDIT:
Fixed it by deleting the .lock file from your server dir

Hey, i cant start my server anymore, the last two days it just worked fine.

Here is the log:

Is there a way to add a scheduled task to restart the server with the restart warning settings from the config file? It would be great to gracefully reboot the server to apply new ingame config files, etc. It's no issue but more of a feature request.
