Saveworld command / autosave

Post by QualQuek » Thu Jun 25, 2015 6:32 am

Hi,

I'm encountering some problem with this command, the saveworld command is supposed to save the server in ...ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks
But i've tried all kind of saveworld command like cheatadmin saveworld, saveworld, cheat saveworld or even cheatadmin cheat saveworld none of these commands seem to work, that never save the server.

The matter of that is that the autosave is totally weird and sometime make save after 3 hours and sometimes after 6, if a patch is released i need to wait this save before shutting down my server and updating that's really painfull
So anyone know exactly how the saveworld command works? How the autosave works?

Thanks in advance.

Make sure you are logged in as admin first, either with the "enablecheats <password>" command or by adding your steamid to the "\ShooterGame\Saved\AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt" file (create it if it doesn't exist).
Then it will save with "cheat saveworld".

The autosave will save every hour.

First i'm always logged as an admin when i'm trying admin commands.
The autosave doesn't save every hour, it's every 3 hours.
My steam ID is already in the file \ShooterGame\Saved\AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt
The command "cheat saveworld" doesn't do anything, the files are not saved except by the autosave...

Any other idea?

It should save every hour, that's what it does on my server.

Have you tried other admin commands like 'cheat fly' for example?

Qual,

Is this on a local machine?

Windows or Linux?

If you shut down the server on Windows, it forces a save.

It's a dedicated server on Win7 64 bits
I don't know where did you see that must save every hour but that not the case for me that autosave every 3 hours, all other admin commands works.
Shutting down the server doesn't force save the server, that just shut down it...

Can you post your .ini file contents?

Humm.

Everything there looks good. Anything custom in your game.ini?

No, just like the original.
Since last update they added the autosave delay, i've tried with different value, that doesn't change the autosave works always every 3 hours.
Is it possible that it's due because i start my serveur with the server dedicated tool?
