Issues with installing RedLoader on a dedicated server

I downloaded Redloader 0.8.6 and extracted it to the root directory of my dedicated server. When I used StartSOTFDedicated.bat to start the dedicated server, an error occurred. I don’t know the reason, and I really need to fix this problem. I hope you friends can help me! Thank you very much!

Transferring player inventory

Hi, i am reasonable new to SOTF and was hosting a server on my pc for me and my son in law to play. I have now installed a dedicated server using steamcmd and moved the save file across. Our base and everything is there but for the life of me I cannot work out how to transfer the player inventory. I have searched and found examples but a lot are a couple of years old and i just cant get them to work. it talks about moving the playerInventorySaveData.json but the save files now seem to be zip files. I would really appreciate some advice or guidance to what I may be doing wrong or not doing at all. thank you...

Complete noob gamer. Difficulty??

Just got this game a couple days ago, 8 hours in and I have very mixed opinions. The survival, building and exploring part is excellent and heaps of fun. The cannibals? Not so much... I've played 6 hours of singleplayer on peaceful mode and enjoyed every minute. Played roughly 2 hours with a mate on what he tells me is normal. The amount of cannibals is ridiculous, they keep spawning right as we wake up whacking us with boat engines. Go to bed alone, wake up with 4-5-6 cannibals/mutants just waiting to kill. The mutants kill us with one or two hits and take probably 10-15 hits to die....

Anyone else having trouble playing with friends from different countries

Three of my friends (1 uk) (2uk) (3 Ireland) tried playing the after a awhile (friends (1 uk) (2 uk) being new to the game had no trouble joining. But when (3 Ireland) tried join he couldn’t join. It seems more like a region lock than connection issue’s.

One friend can join dedicated server, other cannot.

I just set up a dedicated server for Sons of the Forest; first time hosting, and I'm not sure what's wrong here. One of the group members is able to join fine, no problems at all. The other starts joining; the server cmd says steam auth successful and prints their name and ID, and then it says unregistering client and they get kicked back to main menu. No error messages for either of us, and no indication of what the issue might be. They're able to play single player without a hitch, just can't...

changing server from normal to custom

hello everyone I would like some help converting my multiplayer server from normal to custom. I searched online and got the gist of how to do it, I've concluded on creating a new world (custom difficulty) and then copy and pasting the entire gamesetupsavedata into the multiplayer server gamesetupsavedata file. Would this be correct? This is the json text in the MULTIPLAYER NORMAL: {"Version":"0.0.0","Data":{"GameSetup":"{"_settings":[{"Name":"Mode","SettingType":3,"StringValue":"Normal"},{"Name":"UID","SettingType":3,"StringValue":"e8bee020878e4d8bbad26a987d9d6b0b"}],"name":""}"}} And this is what I will replace it with: {"Version":"0.0.0","Data":{"GameSetup":"{"_settings":[{"Name":"Mode","SettingType":3,"StringValue":"Custom"},{"Name":"UID","SettingType":3,"StringValue":"07bcd102fcc64dafbdd37dbf210ef7d0"},{"Name":"GameSetting.Vail.EnemySpawn","BoolValue":true},{"Name":"GameSetting.Vail.EnemyArmour","SettingType":3,"StringValue":"NORMAL"},{"Name":"GameSetting.Environment.SeasonLength","SettingType":3,"StringValue":"Default"},{"Name":"GameSetting.Environment.PrecipitationFrequency","SettingType":3,"StringValue":"Default"},{"Name":"GameSetting.Survival.SingleUseContainers"}],"name":""}"}}...

HJAELP OS!

so i bought sotf and played with my friend for a few months, having an average of 70+ fps on ultra settings and then i quit, and 6+ months later now i wanted to play the game again and im having issues getting 60 fps, usually stuck at 48-50 no matter the settings, which for me is very annoying because i either sacrifice render distance and a bunch of other stuff to get barely 60 fps, or i play at 40-50 fps on ultra 😭 any fixes?

server problem

Hi, I can't connect with my friends on the server I create directly from the game. I've heard about dedicated servers. How do they work? How can I create my own?
