<ul style="color: #fef3c7; line-height: 1.8;">
|

<li>Only open ports that are necessary for the game server to function</li>
|
||||
<li>Consider using non-standard ports to reduce automated attacks</li>
|

<li>If using cloud hosting, configure security groups properly</li>
|

|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Not Appearing in Browser</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># 1. Check ports are open
|
||||
netstat -an | grep 7777
|
||||
netstat -an | grep 27015
|
||||
<h3>Server Won't Start</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Verify ServerSettings.ini
|
||||
ServerRegion=0 # Should be set
|
||||
MaxPlayers=40 # Must be configured
|
||||
<h4>Check Server Logs</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># View recent log entries
|
||||
tail -f server.log
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Check firewall rules
|
||||
sudo ufw status verbose
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Try direct connect instead of browser
|
||||
# In game: Open server list → Direct Connect → IP:Port
|
||||
# Or check system logs
|
||||
journalctl -u gameserver -f
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>High Memory Usage / Crashes</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Reduce max players
|
||||
MaxPlayers=20 # Instead of 40+
|
||||
<h4>Port Already in Use</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Find what's using the port
|
||||
sudo lsof -i :[PORT]
|
||||
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep [PORT]
|
||||
|
||||
# Increase server RAM allocation (Linux)
|
||||
# Edit startup script to use ulimit
|
||||
ulimit -v 33554432 # 32GB limit
|
||||
|
||||
# Disable building decay temporarily for testing
|
||||
BuildingDecayTime=0
|
||||
|
||||
# Regular restarts recommended
|
||||
# Schedule automatic restart every 24-48 hours
|

<h3>Mods Not Loading</h3>
|
||||
<h4>Missing Dependencies</h4>
|
||||
<p>Ensure all required dependencies are installed. Check the error messages for missing libraries or packages.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Connection Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Can't Connect to Server</h4>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify server is running:</strong> <code>ps aux | grep server</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check port is listening:</strong> <code>netstat -an | grep [PORT]</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify firewall rules</strong> (see Ports section above)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check server IP:</strong> Use external IP, not localhost</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Router/NAT:</strong> Ensure port forwarding is configured</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>High Latency/Lag</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Verify <code>modlist.txt</code> exists in server root</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure each line starts with asterisk (*)</li>
|
||||
<li>Check mod IDs are correct (from Steam Workshop URL)</li>
|
||||
<li>Look for <code>*_ModControlPanel.txt</code> file generation</li>
|
||||
<li>Review server logs for mod loading errors</li>
|
||||
<li>Some mods require client-side installation too</li>
|
||||
<li>Check server resource usage (CPU, RAM, disk I/O)</li>
|
||||
<li>Verify network bandwidth is adequate</li>
|
||||
<li>Consider server location relative to players</li>
|

<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|

<ul>
|

<li><strong>CPU:</strong> Ensure adequate CPU allocation; most game servers are single-threaded</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>RAM:</strong> Allocate sufficient memory; monitor usage and adjust as needed</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Disk:</strong> Use SSD storage for better I/O performance</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Network:</strong> Ensure stable, low-latency connection</li>

<h3>Database Maintenance</h3>
|
||||
<p>Conan Exiles uses SQLite database for world persistence. Regular maintenance improves performance:</p>
|
||||
<h3>Monitoring</h3>
|
||||
<p>Set up monitoring to track server health:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>CPU and memory usage</li>
|
||||
<li>Network traffic and latency</li>
|
||||
<li>Player count and activity</li>
|
||||
<li>Error rates and crash logs</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code># Backup database regularly
|
||||
cp game.db game.db.backup
|
||||
<h3>Backup Strategy</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
|

# backup.sh - Run via cron
|

|

<h2 id="security">Security Best Practices</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Firewall Configuration</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Minimal firewall - only allow necessary ports
|
||||
sudo ufw default deny incoming
|
||||
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/udp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp # SSH
|
||||
sudo ufw enable
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Strong Passwords</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Use strong, unique passwords for admin/RCON access</li>
|
||||
<li>Never use default passwords</li>
|
||||
<li>Change passwords regularly</li>
|
||||
<li>Don't share admin credentials unnecessarily</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Regular Updates</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep server software updated to the latest stable version</li>
|
||||
<li>Update operating system and dependencies regularly</li>
|
||||
<li>Subscribe to security advisories for your game</li>
|
||||
<li>Test updates on a staging server before production deployment</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Access Control</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Limit SSH access to specific IPs if possible</li>
|
||||
<li>Use SSH keys instead of passwords</li>
|
||||
<li>Disable root login via SSH</li>
|
||||
<li>Implement fail2ban or similar intrusion prevention</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>DDoS Protection</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Consider DDoS protection services (Cloudflare, OVH, etc.)</li>
|
||||
<li>Implement rate limiting where supported</li>
|
||||
<li>Monitor for unusual traffic patterns</li>
|
||||
<li>Have an incident response plan</li>
|
||||
</ul>

<h3 style="color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0;"><i class="fas fa-lightbulb" style="color: #fbbf24; margin-right: 8px;"></i>Pro Tips</h3>
|
||||
<ul style="color: #fef3c7; line-height: 1.8;">
|
||||
<li><strong>SSD is mandatory:</strong> World database writes constantly - HDD will cause severe lag</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Restart schedule:</strong> Auto-restart every 24-48 hours prevents memory leaks</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Purge carefully:</strong> The Purge system is resource-intensive; test on low player count first</li>
