dedicated server help
What’s the best website to go through for making a dedicated server? My friend has had major issues with Nitrado so I was wondering if I could get some advice
Friend lags out whenever he joins me
Hi there, my friend and I play the game on my connection but the moment we cut down a tree he lags out of the server and can't join back. We've verified the steam game files and have restarted multiple times. Any help is appreciated
reviving npc
so I am trying to revive Virginia but when i go into the files to fix it, i get a internet security block. In every video i have seen the SaveData folder isnt even there, but is causing the pop-up. The problem is that i cant save any changes to the files in my "SaveData" folder so i cant revive them, does anyone know how to fix it?
Pop-up:
Opening thees files might be harmful to your computer. Your Internet Security settings blocked one or more files from being open. do you want to open these files anyway?...

Dedicated server ignoring some commands
Looking for help. I've got my own server going on a separate PC, tested with friends and no issues connecting or building, some console commands work fine but when I want to set specifics on day length, or time of day, either through the in-game console or the config file, the game ignores it. I can see the time clock running in debug mode and can slow it down so it pauses but it only skips over a few seconds but never really stops.
I also tried to jump to a set time of day and on my PC the sun moves for a half second then jumps right back again. I've added my Steam ID to the server whitelist, cheatstick is enabled in chat and some building cheats are working, but not the ones I've listed above.
Is the game updated farther than the commands will allow right now?...
Stuck at endgame
So after killing the second boss I just cant figure out where to go. I went through that cave and picked up a few items but then I hit a rock wall. Is this intended or is it that I'm missing something? (Also i know I'm supposed to pick up a artifact, does not help me though) 😦

Winter Jacket
Hey so I've got the qinter jacket equipped but it doesn't seem to be doing anything? Still getting wet and cold. It also isn't showing up in my inventory, even if I click "equip" on the Tactical jacket instead. However I can't pick up another one as it says I already have one. Bug or they haven't added clothing benefits yet?

SOTF dedicated on headless Linux Server
I run a headless Linux system hosting various game servers without difficulty as they're native Linux servers. I've tried to set up an SOTF server on this system and can't even install it correctly.
Steamcmd always errors out with error 0x602 when using the steamcmd 'app_update' command to install the game server.
I tried copying the installation from my windows machine manually and it successfully copied but WINE does not seem to run it correctly, it outputs to a display I don't have and as a result just locks my bash session until I break the process.
Is there a detailed set of instructions to host an SOTF server on a Linux Headless system out there that I just haven't found yet? I've been searching for some time. ...
