Hi. I have set my launcher to restart game at 04:00 and I want to restart the computer at the same time.
I have done the batch files as described and I put in a -r instead of the -k.
I have set in the shortcut to run as Administrator, but when psshutdown run I get a box from windows that ask if I want to shutdown. (WIN10)
Did you try the command alone ?
I just tried to call psshutdown -r from an Administrator command shell, and after 20 seconds my Windows 10 (Pro / version 1803) did restart without asking me anything.
It’s probably something that is version specific, or maybe some hidden settings.
Can you take a screenshot showing the exact command line you used, what psshutdown displayed, and the actual windows dialog box?
Same version as yours.
Her is the batchfile:
@ECHO OFF
Start F:\ConanExilesDedicatedServer\Pssystem\psshutdown.exe -r -m “Server Is Restarting” -t 5
ECHO Machine Is Restarting - Please Wait
PAUSE >NUL
If I open a command prompt as administrator I also get the box that ask if I want to allow this app to make change to the system. At the top of the box it say *User Account Control’. I can’t capture that box.
If I then run the batch file it restart without any more prompt.
If I right click on the batch file in explorer to run as administrator I also get the prompt if I want to do this.
Have you run the tool once, to accept the EULA?
(There’s also a parameter to validate that you accept the EULA on the command line)
Yes I have.
I think it is windows that ask, not psshutdown.
You don’t get that confirmation box when you open a command prompt when you choose to run as Administrator?
Nope, I don’t get the box.
Could you try to lower the UAC level, see if it’s security related maybe?
I had it at the default level, no. 2 from above. Only when I set the lowest level, I could ‘Run as Administrator’ without the box ask for confirmation.
But isn’t that a security risk?
Another thing:
When you click start server in the launcher or if ‘start server if its not running’ is ticked. why does it open 2 steamcmd windows at the same time doing the same and after that sometimes a 3rd time.
Depends of the context.
Basically you want the UAC high on a machine that is fully interactive, where you are going to do some web browsing, download and install applications, etc… to make sure that the popup appears when something tries to modify your machine configuration.
If you use the machine mostly as a fully automated server it should be fine without the UAC nagging you

That’s not normal, you are the first one to mention that, I wonder if other people had the issue?
So it never do that with you?
Hello all! I am having an issue seeing my server in the in-game server browser. I can direct connect to it just fine in-game, and I can also find it via the Steam servers list and connect that way, but I can’t get it to show in the browser list in-game. Anyone have any ideas?
Ports are set at 7777, 7778 and 27015 respectively as stated in the guide. Everything else seems standard and as I said I can direct connect and play on it just fine.
That’s unfortunately a know issue, if you search on the topic you’ll see there’s a number of mentions.
It’s basically due to a problem with the way the Steam API works, our next game will use our own system to list the servers (similar to what we did for consoles), but that’s (probably) not going to happen on Exiles (at least not in the near future!) .
Sorry for that!
@MarcBomber Please let me know if you are a server admin. I’ll DM you if it’s the case. I have nothing new to add to the reply which was already made.
That sporadically happens to me too. I haven’t been able to pinpoint the exact cause or how to deliberately make it happen, so I acknowledge that it will be difficult to fix for you - especially when it doesn’t happen on your machine.
FWIW I believe that it only happens when I manually start or restart the server, so I’m guessing it’s somehow related to the button clicking itself. I can also confirm that it happens on both - my testserver with a Celeron CPU and the liveserver with a high powered i7-8700 - so it’s not restricted to one specific configuration. However, I’ve never seen it open three windows at the same time, it’s always only two for me.
Can you confirm that this only happens when using the on/off/restart buttons?
Could be a race condition: The state machine to handle all the asynchronous updates, checking of server availability, restart conditions, backups and message sending, etc… has gotten kind of complicated 
I’ll take a look when I find 5 minutes.
Thanks for the report!
No, I can’t 100% confirm this. I believe this to be the case because I can’t recall it ever having happened, but then again automatic restarts usually happen without me watching, so I could very well be wrong about it. I’ll make a point of looking whenever possible in the future.
One thing I can say for certain is, that if it does happen with automatic restarts, it doesn’t have any ill effects that I’d noticed like running the server itself twice. I suppose I could just not close one of the two steamcmd windows and see what happens the next time it occurs.
It don’t happed to me any more. Before I always got 2 steam windows when click restart or start button, not sure when automatic restart.
Now I have tested with automatic restart, starting launcher manually with ‘start server if not running’ not ticked and then click start button to start server.
Start launcher with ‘start server if not running’ is ticked.
Click restart when server is running.
Every time I now only get 1 steam window.
My SERVERSETTINGS.INI are getting deleted all the time I start my server + the app get by 0 too (only the servername and the ports will stay…
I’m using the latest version - this is making me really unhappy, because I want to activate the decay, but everytime i start the server, bam, everything is gone and I need to stop it and write the adminpassword, daily restart… and start it again (when it starts, the settings will be again by default)
Are you editing the correct file in:
\DedicatedServerLauncher\ConanExilesDedicatedServer\ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsServer
of course
