Conan Exiles Dedicated Server Launcher (Official Version: 1.7.5 / Beta: 1.7.7)

Apparently it’s a problem with http/https protocol, it looks like Chrome is trying to access every resource of a https page using https protocol, unfortunately the CND link does not seem to work with https, currently looking at an alternative.

For the ones who had problem downloading with Chrome, could give a shot at that one?

Hello
The following entry appeared on the server in the logs, after the restart, the server starts up for about 30 minutes

How to download? Links are not working!

See: Conan Exiles Dedicated Server Launcher (Official Version: 1.3.8 / Beta: 1.4.0) - #1959 by Toolguy

If you want an older version, you need to copy the link and use something like Internet Explorer, or any other browser that does not try to use HTTPS everywhere, because for some reason the place where the files are hosted is failing at answering HTTPS requests (works in HTTP).

Damn… guess I’ll have to check that next week: Is it “tends to” or is it “always” skip?

Maybe I fumbled when adding the new settings for the zombie checker, like overwrote the same entry in the ini file, will have to check that.

Anything special in the launcher log, compared to normal restart?

And Easter is behind us, back to work!

Since apparently the new https CDN links are working fine, I edited the top post to fix all the URL to use the new link, which means the current 1.3.8 and 1.4.0 links should now be working fine for everybody:

  • The current official version: 1.3.8 (released 22 January 2021).
  • The latest beta version: 1.4.0 (released 24 March 2021).

Regarding the server crashes, please don’t ask me to look at them, I simply don’t have the elements or knowledge to answer these, and in most cases I’m going to ask you to either post on the support section of the forum, or join the Admins United Discord where you will most probably find an answer to your question.

Regarding the Zombie Killing feature, it looks like it did not work. Or more exactly, it works, but the way the game server most often dies, it’s the wrong type of Zombie.

So, if you have the 1.4.0 Zombie enabled, and your server get stucks, or crashed, and does not get killed, before killing it I would appreciate if you looked at the bottom right of the UI and checked if the numbers at the bottom change, and which ones:

The idea was to monitor all the writes, reads and network traffic done by the server, and that if they stopped changing then it probably meant that the server was dead, but obviously this is not working for everybody, so I need to know what happens when the server is stuck.

Thanks!

I am having a random fatal error and always these 2 fatal errors.

could someone be helping me to unravel the mystery and identify the possible cause?

Why is the Ping at 9999 and age ???. Its all green…

Apparently since this week-end the Discord Webhook messages sent by the Dedicated Server Launcher are failing to appear on Discord, I managed to diagnose the issue as being related to the formatting of the time stamp which used to just accept “embeds” and “timestamp”, but for some reason it looks like the “description” field is now mandatory, and if not present Discord returns a {“embeds”: [“0”]} error message.

Until I find what exactly is the issue, you can just uncheck the “Time” check box in the DSL.

The system is unfortunately complicated, but being green is good: It means you’ve done the setup correctly, your machine can be seen and accessed from the outside.

Regarding the ping and age, it means that somewhat the communication between the funcom servers and yours is having issues, but that’s quite hard to diagnose, generally speaking, the longest your server is online, with the same IP, the more chances that it is going to be visible and accessible.

Another minor version, with tweaks on the Zombie Check and Discord Webhook features

1.4.1 (12 april 2021)

  • The “Zombie Check” now ignores the “other” part of the IO information: Apparently when the server is stuck on shut down, it still perform some other stuff.
  • Added some magic tokens to the messages: {server_pid}, {map_name}, {date_now_iso}, {date_now_human} (please note that the ISO date is in UTC, while the human readable one is using the local time of the server)
  • The magic tokens can now be used in the Discord bot name, so you can use {servername}: ‘{map_name}’ if you want to display the name of the server and the selected map automatically
  • The Discord JSON packet will now use the “description” instead of the “content” field when the “Time” check box is enabled, since apparently the API was changed last week
    Dedicated Server Launcher 1.4.1

As usual, please report any weird thing, regression, or feature not behaving as expected.
Thanks :slight_smile:

Error: Conan Exiles - DedicatedServerLauncher 1.3.8 Failed starting the game server located at C:\Users\DedicatedServerLauncher\ConanExilesDedicatedServer\ConanSandboxServer.exe

Anyone know why this is happening?

Edit: I’m having to click the conansandboxserver application within the folder to get it running. Now its showing up on on the server site as 9999 ping and cant log into it.

Nope, no idea, and unfortunately the error message it not clear enough, so I just pushed a new version that adds the error code in the error message.

Could it be that there’s another dead server process lying around?

Seems to be working now. Windows firewall came up for conansandboxserver and conandsandboxerserver win 64 and i allowed on both networks so that may have been the issue with 1.3.8. Should I just replace dedicatedserverlauncher 1.3.8 with 1.4.2?

Also, its still showing up as 9999 ping but I am able to join with direct connect. Is that just the suggested workaround if ping is showing as 9999?

Sure, you can even keep the old one if you want, they are generally compatible, and you can switch from one to the other, that rarely cause problems :slight_smile:

Hi, I just built a server pc yesterday to run my own server so everything is fresh and I only have drivers, steam and Conan installed atm. I use the tool from this page and created my server, I’ve opened all ports and the firewall is open for Conan and the server shows up on the in game server list. On the server list the ping is 9999 and the age is ??? and I can’t connect to the server though the in game browser, direct connecting, or through the steam servers window. It keeps telling me the connection has timed out and can not connect to host. Is there any fix for this? Is there anything I’m missing? Please help! :slight_smile:
