I run a private server on playstation.
my sewrver age hasnt moved since day 1
its stuck on zero 0
because of this nothing decays.
im aware this topic has been posted a few times with a solve. PROBLEM IS
i seen a bunch of posts about why this happens and its easy to fix on PC but only seen one fix for console.
The Stated FIX:
turn on server
wait 30mins
click repair
wait 20 mins
turn server back on
this has been posted a solve on these forums but THIS solution has not worked for me.
i have tried a few times. each time it says zero still after i restart so i wait the day or two to see if it will change its age naturally. it does not.
all building reset the timers to full every day still.
i have been trying to fix this for 2 months.
if theres a real fix can someone walk me thru it really really slowly.
jokes aside please help me here. that was the only solve for playstation i could find and its not working for me like its worked for others.
Welcome to the Forum
Short and simple. It is a Gportal issue have had it on one of ours. Let server lapse. However several people on Forum has have this happening. Told them to contact Gportal they blame Funcom turns out if you call someone at Gportal their is a setting they can correct to fix. If you look at your server list and have zero days that is the issue plenty of zero days server’s in the list. Good luck Exile. @Justpaint
ive been in contact with them tioday but they do act like there is nothing they can do.
the person i had started talking to diconnected right as she started sounding like she had a idea to fix it but when i got back ahold of them it was a differnt person and the other person supposedly left.
its a fustrating problem to say the least.
i have noticed a lot of zeros on the server list yes.
so theres no way i can fix this other then hope i can convince someone at gport to fix it?
so its happened to one of your servers and you werent able to fix it? or you got gport to fix it?
i hope it isnt to much more of a struggle to get them to fix it.
I don’t think anyone on console got that fixed.
I read one post about. Server owner says that gportal fixed it. But didn’t say anything afterwards.
I have been pushing gportal to do changes in database on my server, same as what is described to do for pc.
Unfortunately with gportal, you always get different person responding.
Maybe someone feels like helping you, but then next support person comes and have no clue again.
They have put my server on different hardware.
That didn’t do anything but changed server time.
Raid hours started at 6pm afterwards at 1pm. Even though in server settings was 6pm.
I spend a fair amount of time and struggle to get them to understand what happened and to change it back.
They told me they will close my help ticket, if I don’t stop.
I tried everything I could.
I showed them forum post with explanation…
I asked to access my server database…
I have my server for a year like that and other probably even longer.
But it seems like there are servers that work properly, but were open, very long time ago.
We have a Exiles server since shortly after the game came out has worked correctly
The Siptah server about 2 years 10 slot for a few friends didn’t actually notice anything other than zero days until read on Forum about decay started checking everything seemed to reset decay when I logged in or server reset about the time we started in the morning. Did not bother us much just a handful of friends witch is why we did not investigate. Then Gportal automatically billing didn’t work and let it go by that time we had learned some of the map and have been playing on official
Once the bugs are fixed in current update will test the new purge on our Exile server
I know at least one server owner had his fixed but never got back. Please if you get yours fixed give everyone a solution. I see a few server’s that are new clocking days. Funny thing is they are showing up in pve-c and pve favorites and I have never been on them. Good luck . @Justpaint@Bambere just went into servers listing at a glance majority private servers are 0 days quite a few 6 days to 1 day one 239 another 722. If 0 days is connected to decay issue obviously some people have figured it out.
mine is a pve-c exile lands.
still in contact with gport. they keep throwing links at me aboit this being a known issue and pointing to funcom.
i dought its funcoms issue. not as tho funcom doesnt have a tangle of issues this seems like a error that happens when the private server is created.
gport didnt like when i said that.
im going to start a new server on the side and see if it ages. if not ill do it again and keep doing it till it works or my subscription is up.
if it isnt aging right by then ill find a new host to try., any suggestions on good legit hosts?
till then ill keep fighting gportal about it. can not fight funcom on it they are very good at ignoring my tickets hahahaha.
i dont men to be a pest its just a issue that seems like it is a easy fix.
i mean PC can fix it in 10mins themselves but no solution between gport and funcom all these years is well you understand.
if i do figure it out it will be in bold font here on the forums for everyone to see.
if someone figures it out before me. PLEASE message me, tag me, and throw up some smoke signals outside so i know.
What you have said about Funcom and Gportal is sad but true Gportal is the only choice for Playstation and Xbox
I took a screen shot of your post . In case something comes up and this post has been shut down . My wife started laughing when I read your post to her but in Sympathy. I would go into my server settings on Gportal but have no clue what to look for plus they have made changes since I set ours up.
Haha ive laughed in pain for weeks. Its all good we will figure it out or a work around
Update. Kind of.
I split my server slots since im a new server owner and havent but a few ppl i know on.
I started a new server on the side. My ifea qas to keep starting and deleting every other day till i get a server i see that ages.
Seemed like a plan.
It worked. Again kind of. It aged. Made it to age 4. 4 days. I thought ok thisnos a good one. So i turned off the server to edit the settings and turn off the stability multiplier. Set to 0. And fix up the pve-c setting times and make a back up of the working, aged, server.
I turn it back on and its
0
I about had a stroke.
Noooooooo not zero.
So now im waitijg ankther day to see if ot will age again but im not confident it will.
Why would it reset just by going into the settings?
Exactly.
It was a good plan it shown promise but it has failed.
Back to the drawing board
Im wandering if building stability is the reason this is happening. Its not building decay. Its building stability. Where you can put ceiling tiles out unlimited without extra supports.
It shouldn’t have a effect on the age but thats my thought id love to find out if anyone else with a reseting age also have stability at 0.
I feel like its the server restart that is doing it and doesnt seem to matter if its the daily restart or one you do to change a setting.
If this info is useful to anyone to brainstorm off of there it is.
I am also on a G-Portal server on PS4/PS5 (I play on PS5 but the servers are those of the PS4 version).
At the start of the adventure I had Mitrado as an alternative to g-portal, but this has not been the case since.
Each time you restart your server, its age returns to zero.
As mentioned @sestus2009 a PlayStation user managed to get help from g-portal, but he never came back to tell us how he could have been helped.
We are counting on you, you are our hope , lol .
Glad I saw this. Our Siptah server extended stability I believe. 5 had never used it before. A side note Our Exiles server seems to have several hundred days less than it should expected 1800 now 1500 something. Will have to screen shot and monitor. @Justpaint@mynotaure@Bambere
Ok i have a question for you and those who run a Playstation gportal server.
Do you all or have you gone into the gportal settings and set a daily restart?
Everyone has yes?
Im trying to figure out if the server goes to maintenance restart without using that setting. Because i feel like this scheduled setting is the thing we got to work around to keep the building decay going. Im a mad scientist brainstorming here hahaha
Hmmm this seems like it may be linked to that somehow. I dint see how but process of eliminating.
It has to come down to the scheduled restarts and or the building stability multiplier.
Somewhere a code is messed up. Crossed. Smoking in the back and forgets to start the potatoes.
I dont think we can fix it but im trying to comr up with a gum and ducttape work around for those of us who keep reseting.
At the beginning I carry out an automatic reddemage every morning at 4 an hour.
Now I do a manual reddemage each time I go to the G-Portal site (once a week)
And it restarts because you set it up to restart in the shecduled settings on gportal like ive shown ?
Or dors it restart without those settings?
The 4 day old one also didnt have a shecduled setting made in that settings area untill after i messed with it today getting it set up to use since it was aging.
I have not been on Gportal site possibly this year. Your screen looks different from when I was on last. We allow updates restarts have been going on by themselves for years. It disappeared a couple years ago and I had to mess with it don’t recall what the issue was. Several years ago The DC location had to shut down because something happened to the cooling system. Really wish I could help more if you think some pictures of the site would help let me know have to pay bills tomorrow about the only thing I use pc for. Old guy and not tech savvy. Still using what was top of the line 17" Sony flat screen monitor
Im not that greatvwoth tech myself.
This is all new to me.
Juat brainstorming. Gathering info whatvothers have or havent done with servers figuring out a work around
My current waybto keep daily maintenance and not go to a once a week maintenance is to remove peoples doors if i suspect theu have abandoned the server.
If it looks like theybhave been on or i see a bidy laying around or one of us has seen them on we make not of the day and leave it be.
If theu seem like the left they get removed doors and i wait and see if they put them back or message me mad
I mean its a door. Containers are locked and builig damage is off. If theu built by things that can come attack their thralls ill go a different route.
This is for ppl who i cant find names to messge.
Otherwise i message them and see whats up.
Its a horrible work around but idk what else to do.
Ive tried to get pll to join a group chat but ppl arent as friendly as one would hope.
