RCON port does not load after shut down and update of palword on the panel. Causes the server to load, but not the RCON port, so we’re stuck in a “starting server” loop.
Here’s a github bug report on it:
Reproduction Steps
Create a backup of the server game
Shut down the server and then update the game
Once updated, press start and it loads all the other ports except the RCON port.
I have the same issue, server is launched and players can connect but stuck in the Starting loop, with only abort as an option.
Would be good to have a fix for this so i can at least do Save and then restart scripts.
Pressing Abort(only option) will “kill” the server as expected.
So I found a “fix” for this. Stopped/abort the server, went to main menu and updated the instance itself. Once it was done it came back and auto started the server.
I am not running mine in a docker so i cannot speak to that portion of the step.
I was able to reproduce this with another server i waited to update on 8hrs later so there was no change the steam update that addressed this.
From the Main Menu screen (which shows all your instances):
Right click on the instance, Edit Settings
Turn off “Run in Docker Container”
Save changes. Wait until finished
Right click on the instance, Update. Wait until finished
Right click on the instance, Edit Settings, turn on “Run in Docker Container”. Save changes and wait until finished
Start the instance if not running, then Manage it
Find the “Community Server” setting, turn it off and on a couple of times
