I'm just hoping they sort it out fast was really wanting the server up and running, can't find anything online about it, I'm sure it was meant to be a option
Been looking at doing this for awhile now and have watched your vids since well before FS22 dropped so I WILL be USING YOUR LINK sir because your content is AWESOME and VERY much appreciated. Hello from Texas and thanks for all you do! Keep on farmin'!
Here is a Tip for People that have Friends that play on PC but got the Game over the Microsoft Store. You will have to enable Crossplay to be able to see the GameServer. I had several People that tried to join me but couldn't and after a lot of testing we came to the Conclusion that this was the issue. After enabling Crossplay they would instantly see the Server show up in the Serverlist.
Sorry for a simple question...does the game data save to the sever? So anyone with access to the server can pick up where you left off at anytime, regardless of their platform? Great video btw 😊
Yes the savegame runs from the server and it saves to the server just as it would save to your system in local play. The server has 20 save slots and when you start a map on the server you would select which save slot the gamesave is going to use. The server runs the map and keeps track of the ground states and implement and vehicle locations which is then sent to the clients when your connected. This is one of the main draws on server play is the ability to pickup from where another person left off even if the 'host' is not online.
@@FarmerKlein I take it if you have another person logged on through the admin password you would both be able to change settings etc. Or can only 1 admin be logged on at a time.
Do you have, or can you make a video on how to setup a custom game? For example, if I want to start everyone on a map with $150,000 and a motorcycle, and have no place able items on the map, how would I do that? Is that possible? I don't want to do that exactly. But not sure how to do that custom work. I have seen people go into the game program and change game files to change money amounts on hand. But that does seems to then not match the game save screen amount shown. It messes with the accounting summery screen also. Anyway, being a new player, I really enjoy and learn alot from your videos. Thank you for your hard work.
Depends on the map but you would set itup the same way you would do it in single player for the most part just create the other farms and join each and repeat the steps. If your on PC Easy Dev Controls goes a long way to make all of what you mention easier but depending on the map how hard any of that is will change.
@@jakesmith7755 Depnds on wht your adding them as admin of. if you want to add users to the web interface as admins you would go to Settings and the Manage Web Users in the web interface. If you want to add them as admins in game well you just give them the admin password. There is no way to have a user automaticly be an admin in the game they must elevate to admin level in game with the password and then they are admin for the session until they disconnect.
Thanks @farmer klein. Question if your running seasons snd have multiple people playing on same server if u go offline and then a person forwards time do your crops die because of no harvest?
Yes. Its one reason to not give people the admin password. with out the admin password no one can forward time. The game acts just like a local game with that regard. Setting the server to pause when empty can help with that as then only time passes when someone is on the server and when no one is on the game pauses the progress of time.
Question... I have rented my server through game servers and I have my farm linked up this tutorial was absolutely perfect.... but I don't always like to play online... if I play offline and save my progress will it transfer to my server? I only play with 1 other person so no one would be playing online while I'm offline
Thanks for this tutorial bro, i have a question, so i rent a server from games server and how long do i have to wait to receive the link to edit my server like you show here? I got an email but just saying my account is being processed
They need to make sure they have flagged the server to support cross play from the web interface. That there are no PC only mods activated on it. When you search type in just a portion of the server name and be sure to not have to restrictive of search options from the server list. There could be any number of reasons you can not see the other server.
@@KickenChickenNetwork Ya I think thats it. I didnt know about the PS4 update issues until a few hours ago. I hope they get you guys up to 1.1.1.0 soon.
I`ve got a Question, i dont know where i can activated the player mark on the minimap. I dont see me or my Mates on the map only the tractor or stuff like that. Can you help me with that. That would be great Thank you :D
Assuming the server is started then verify your filters are not filtering it out of the selections. I tend to leave my filters as wide open as possible and then just search a portion of the name to narrow down the list.
I only have experience with game servers and they list 15 datacenters in the US and Canada to pick from. You can also move your server from one datacenter to another at no cost as long as you do not do it to frequent but you will need to upload your save game and mods to the new server.
Thank you for the help. Used your affiliate link and the discount. How does money work. If I log into the game and have $500k and a friend logs in how much will he have?
If there on the same farm 500k. The player does not have money the farm does. If yiu create a farmbfor them then they will have how ever much the default farm amount is for that difficulty level.
Sure, same place you added the mods in the first place. Just stop the server upload the mod(s). Activate them on the home page and start the server back up. Players will need to get the new mods before they can connect again.
Question, so I started the server but I go onto the game and over the span of 10 minutes I’ve restarted my game a couple times and refreshed the server list and tried searching for my server and it’s not popping up. Any thoughts?
Verify your search peramiters are accurate based tone the server settings. Language, cross play, etc. If you have crossplay disabled on the server but your searching for servers with crossplay then it wont show up for example.
If this is a rented server then I don't know why you would not be able to see it if your friend could I would compare their MP selection screen settings with yours and see what might not be the same.
Quick question only because I completely lost our entire map. We had 8 people 4 farms and we got on tonight and everything was GONE! So we decided to restart on Haut. I'm using the same server you are. How do I create server back ups? Can I automate that process?
Backups should be automatic. If you go to the savegames tab there should be a drop down for savegame backups. There will be several backups listed per savegame slot if they exist. The server will save a backup every autosave period. It should save something like the most recent 6 or 7 autosaves and then keep a daily save and then a few saves going back one per week for a few weeks. TO restore a backup you select the backup you wish to restore and click on the restore button. then restart the server. For me I set the autosaves to happen every hour so I have hourly restore points for a few hours then daily restore points going back a few days, etc. It sounds to me like the save got corrupted. I believe this might happen if you have the server set to either auto restart on empty or the server pauses on empty and it was in the act of saving when someone left. What I usually suggest if this happens on our servers is that if you save the game manually wait 2 min or so before existing.
How do I fix a game log file error on the server you recommended? I followed your video exactly and got into my server once , and then had to log out due to forgetting a mod , and now I can’t get back and keep getting the error message on the server . I’ve tried removing all mods and restarting but I’m getting no where .
I paid for a dedicated server but when I get into the game I can't get into the store to buy anything. I also can't see contracts or get bank loans. Am I doing something wrong?
im not sure what the question is related to. Are you asking if there is a wait from when you 'start' the server and you see it listed in the multiplayer menu in game? Or if there is a wait from when you order a server to get access? If its the former it will take a few minutes for the game to start up just as it does when you launch the game on your PC on console. The server is launching an text only version of the game on the server, initializing all the mods, loading the map and mods and spawning all the items in the save. You can monitor the progress of the server startup by looking at the game log under settings.
@@FarmerKlein when i start my server...my friend have the server listed on join game list and in my join game list the server just gone my server didnt listed on mine game
my server is started and i followed your instructions but my server is not currently showing up in the server list. i have made sure my filter is correct but still nothing
not sure what to tell you other than to remove or set all filters to be as open as possible and then just type first part of the name in the server name box to see if the list of resulting servers shows it.
uuhm my web portal doesnt even load. i can not acces it. im doing everything from my mail but it doesnt load the adress they gave me? can you help me to even open de web interface of my server. cause it says on my internet that i cannot reach the web interface??
There is no way to upload a console save game that I am aware as I do not think you have access to the savegames to zip it up and then upload it via the server browser.
There would be an app in your phones store from giants. I looked the other day and didnt see the 22 app yet. It was something like Dedi19 for Fs19 from Giants. You can start/stop the server see whos on, see the server resource stats from the moible app.
In the dedicated server web interface there is an option to enable autosave. If you specify a duration in minutes the server will save automatically. If you wish to conduct a manual save you must be admin in the game session then the save option will appear as it does normally in game.
My server keeps shutting down after I start it up and all it says in the logs is “couldn’t inform friends of server”. But when it does launch, it won’t let me load FS22 from my desktop because I’m still logged in on the VPS. Any issue how to fix either issues?
So if i start a dedicated server on pc am i able to control it on my console? I have both pc and console i just dont want to start one on pc and only be a guest of my own server on console. If that makes since? Any help would be fantastic.
So I just rented a server and I’m on console, also did it on my iPhone, it was giving me a url to follow and my phone won’t load the page, if I just punch that in to any computer will it let me access my panel to start the game up?
I would assume Nitrado would send it via email or it would be in your customer portal. I never used Nitrado as a host. I can say that Gameservers whom I used to use would send it in an email to you and GPortal who I now use the link to the web portal is found within your server portal page.
When I go to the web interface and click start server it shows it online. But if i exit the tab out or go to any other page it instantly says offline. Any ideas how to fix this?
@@FarmerKlein Server log was empty but I ended up figuring it out. The problem was on Nitrado's side. Corrupt game files no matter how many times I uninstalled and reinstalled through there website.
When setting up a server I keep getting "Error: TextInputElement loading specified "maxInputTextWidth" is too small (0.1510) to display needed data" and "Could not register at friends server: #10002" any idea how to fix this?
Hi, i have a very important question and i wish you can reply fast. sorry for my english i come from italy. i have rented a server, i created it but once i go to multiplayer and i put admin pasword it say it's wrong. i cheked out a lot of time but it's alwais wrong
All mods must be in zip format to work for MP. Mods must also be explicitly set to be allowed on MP servers. There is a mutliplayer = allowed line in the xml that must exist for the server to accept the mod.
dont mess with the search filters and put in the first few letters of the server name not the whole thing. Aso make sure your up to date with the game as servers are running 1.1.1.0
Any ideas why my server keeps crashing today? But its been fine the past two days. Just random disconnects and then the server isn't in the list after until I stop it and start it again.
Giants is having issues keeping up with MP demand on their matchmaking servers. Unprecidented demand I woudl say with crossplay. The steam numbers for concurrent FS22 players this last week has been crazy and thats just steam let alone Xbox, Playstation, Epic and direct from giants purchases or disks.
Fairly sure I talked about it in one of these server videos. zip up the files within the savegame folder locally and upload it to one of the 20 savegame slots on the server then pick that slot from the home screen..
@@jaybevan9953 Sure it works how else did I have the same save on both the Console and PC challenge server for the April event. If it hangs when you try to join look at your in game log to see what its hanging in. maybe you have a mod that is not quite 100% MP compatable.
You would have to use only crossplay enabled mods from the Giants mod hub. They would have the mods they dont have autodownloaded. If you activate a non crossplay mod they cant join.
@@FarmerKlein so the host connection determines that. Hmm. I work on the road constantly and trying to figure out a way me and my son can play together.
Well lag is network connection dependant. If your hosing your own server off a home network connection or if your doing a local hosted MP session then the hosts internet connection will be utilized more than if they where connecting to someone else. Depending on a persons home internet connection and what else might be going on with that connection it could have greater lag than if you where using say a hosted server out of a datacenter. In the end every player may have a different experence based on their own internet connection also. I have seen some players from other countries have a lower ping rate to the same server than some players here in the US just based upon various users home connections.
Sure you can download the save from the web interface as a zip that you would then unzip and move the contents to into one of your local save game folders.
Is there any way I could play on a mod map on console? When you set up the server you get to choose between the 3 standard maps. What if we uploaded a savegame from a pc from that map? I don`t have fs 22 on pc so can`t try it.
Lag can be caused by several things. 1) could be slow internet or overloaded internet connection. 2) could be an overtaxed server or servers network connection. 3) could be something on the server side or client side spewing log errors causing performance problems. 4) could be the client overloaded as a result of to much to render. List can go on. You would need to work thru the various issues to find the culprit.
Not that I am aware of. Unless you somehow have access to your gamesaves directly. They must be uploaded to the server via a web uploader in zip format.
I would suggest contacting the company you rented it from but I do know Giants has been having issues with their matchmaking system due to extremely high load.
@@FarmerKlein my brothers joined the server no problem. I use hotspot from my galaxy note 8 for internet on my ps5. 60mbps download 12mbps upload 25ms ping 5ms jitter
@@FarmerKlein as in the multiplayer menu can’t find the server it’s a stock server no mods on it and it won’t even turn off gives a file corrupt error message already reinstalled 2 times and still no luck
The individual who setup the server would know the admin password for in game. If your refering to the admin password to login to the web interface then the host of the server should have provided it to the individual renting the server or have a way to login to the web interface from within their own hosting account.
I doubt it as you do not have access to the PS5 file system the server you would download the save game as a zip file. On PC you would then unzip that file and place the resulting contents of the savegame folder into one of the savegame folders in you FarmingSimulator2022 folder but on PS5 you have no such access.
@@FarmerKlein ah well it would be nice if you could, I do play on pc but have friends on playstation we thought by logging in as admin then saving the game it would but its like you said only saves on the server. Thank you for the reply really appreciated
Unless your host provides ftp then it won't work that way. Direct individual questions on accessing your server with the host you acquired it from. I would have no idea why provided login info is not working for you.
GameServers seem questionable, they show demo servers, but it is extremely vague and LS22 doesn't let you search a server by IP. So how do you go about testing these demo servers? The person setting that page up obviously has never played the game.
You would need to know the name of the server to find it in the list from within the game. I have used Gameservers since 2017 thru FS17, FS19 and now FS22.
@@davidlawrence3230 What you describe is more akin to bandwidth limitations at the client than the server side. I have had servers with up to 10 concurrent players from gameservers with no issues that could not be attributed to either a mod causing problems, general internet latency or a users known weak internet connection. As with any internet based service select the datacenter that is as central located to the majority of players to minimize latency back to the server. FS multiplayer takes very little bandwidth from client to server but if someone is on a weak internet connection then they will be the first to notice as the server has more and more to update across all the clients the more users are on manipulating the map and as such changing the environment for everyone. I would offer you to try out the community server on my discord but at this time no one is using it as we are waiting on an interesting crossplay map to show up. Gameservers does allow you to move to a different server with out any real hassle beyond uploading the save game and mods again in the event you land on a server with high sustained load or the server your own develops high sustained load during your time using it as all their servers are shared resources with other clients.
29/Nov/2021:19:30:48] Could not register at friends server: #10002 [29/Nov/2021:19:30:48] Could not inform friends server about server URL: #10002 how can fix this? dont have mods, i just upload my save game
Hi i have a question @farmer Klein. i set up the server and everyone is able to connect to the server with out any issues. but when i try to link them the mods download link no one can access the site. how can i fix this,
In settings you have to enable the public mod link I suspect that was not done. No idea where in the video I mention this but I am fairly sure I cover it. Maybe a bit to lightly but it should be mentioned.
@@FarmerKlein yes i enabled it but the link only works for me. how ever everyone can connect to server in game with out any issues. i set up port forwarding 8080 as u said but im not sure what else it could be
@@FarmerKlein Quick question though maybe i did forwarding incorrectly. there a setting in the router that says service type. i put farming as the name does it have to be a specific name ? like http
wait wait wait. You setup port forwarding. so this is not rented server its one you are running from your home? If thats the case then you will need to open port 80 also to your dedicated server IP to allow the web traffic into it. OR best yet as that can post network security risks as hackers love to bang on port 80 for web servers is to host the mods for your dedicated server using a cloud storage account like dropbox or google drive and then share that link out to your friends to get the mods.
@@FarmerKlein ah ok thank you i think ill just use drive to share mods. and ya its a private server not rented one :) i cant justify the cost to rent one.
Does the game continually run even if players are not logged in? I want to rent a server but I want to know if the time still moves forward if no one is on so my crops and what not will keep growing and wither if I dont log in every day.
@@Dadforgotmilk There are several things that can play into this from a short term MP issue to the other players search settings and if you had crossplay enabled for the session or not.
You can run up to 8 farms on a dedicated server if you want. It would bea bit of a PITA switching farms all the time but ya if you want to run 8 farms by yourself with a server sure.
@@tobiaspedersen8333 Time passes regardless of if everyone is on or not. If one person is on time passes. If one persion sleeps time passes for all. Its a shared save and as such if a player does not get on for a week while others are on every day time will pass them by. The server can be set to pause time if no one is or or it can be set to run 24x7 regardless of anyone being on or not.
not that I know if. Consoles do not let you get access to the file system so unless there is a way to backup your save and then later download it on a computer no.
i downloaded a mod called "rapid growth" and it involves a game_growth.xml file that i somehow need to get on my dedicated server, i use the same host as in the video. Any idea how i go about doing this?
Is anyone else having problems with nitrado? I literally can't go more then a day and a half without it not showing up in multi-player and I have to hunt down the problem
I am sorry I can not help as I have not used Nitrado. Is it as simple as restarting the server? Sometimes this needs to be done if the Giants matchmaking servers go offline as the servers need to reregister with their service but usually if this happens it need to be done with all servers and we have not run into this issue that I am aware of with the servers we use from GameServers as of late.
@@FarmerKlein it's my first few days into using nitrado as well, I've attempted to restart, I've attempted to reinstall, it seems like alot of people with nitrado servers are (for now anyway) having issues with console compatibility
Depending on the host it may auto update. With Gameservers they do not auto update which for me is one reason I like them. It allows us to update the server when we are ready. For Gameservers login to the mygames portal and then click on your server. Pick the Mods tab and then there should be an install option for the update. When I looked earlier this was not showing for me so they may take a little bit to get the server portals updated to show the update.
You must be admin on the server and then you can manually save but ideally you would setup autosave in the server control panel as I outlined in the video. I set my servers to autosave every hour.
Love your videos. Rented a server and al working fine exept one thin. When I upload a mod and put it in the mod folder the game stil says its unavavible. I do not play crossplay. Hope you have a solution. Farm on from sweden
Then you upload the mod to the server you have to also activate it from the main page of the web interface. The game must be stopped. Add mod to server via the mod web page and then go to the home page and on the bottom activate it. then start the server back up.
@@rolandmahl2777 If the mod is not listed after uploading then its possible the mod is not 'multiplayer compatible'. Mods need a line in the XML that says if it is or not ok to be used on a server. Its possible the mod is missing that line either because it was not added or because it is known to not work.
Of the server or the MP session? The server your already the admin when you login with the username and password the server host has given you. for the MP session you would enter the admin password you setup when you setup the MP session on the server webpage and then your admin only for the duration of that session.
The same way one would on Xbox or PC. By visiting one of the dedicated server hosts like GPortal (affilate link in description) and signing up for a server. You setup the server side just as this video shows and then you join the server in game again the same way Xbox or PC players join. I assume PS5 has a browser function you can use or your phone or computer you might have access to for the signing up and setup of the server itself.
You cant join as admin you have to login as admin after you are in the session by going to one of the barn icons at the bottom it will say login as admin then enter the admin password.

Can I add Mods after I've already started the server? If so, where do I go to do that? Thank you
Sure, same place you added the mods in the first place. Just stop the server upload the mod(s). Activate them on the home page and start the server back up. Players will need to get the new mods before they can connect again.
Question, so I started the server but I go onto the game and over the span of 10 minutes I’ve restarted my game a couple times and refreshed the server list and tried searching for my server and it’s not popping up. Any thoughts?
Verify your search peramiters are accurate based tone the server settings. Language, cross play, etc. If you have crossplay disabled on the server but your searching for servers with crossplay then it wont show up for example.
@@FarmerKlein it popped up for my buddy but still hasn’t showed up for me. It’s got to be something with farm sim or something. I have no idea
If this is a rented server then I don't know why you would not be able to see it if your friend could I would compare their MP selection screen settings with yours and see what might not be the same.
Is this through nitrado? I just purchased a server through them an have no idea what I’m doing.
No I have never used Nitrado services. This video outlines how ot work with the dedicated server website from just about any dedicated host.
@@FarmerKlein alright, I just gotta figure out how to get to that point. Thank you.
Quick question only because I completely lost our entire map. We had 8 people 4 farms and we got on tonight and everything was GONE! So we decided to restart on Haut. I'm using the same server you are. How do I create server back ups? Can I automate that process?
Backups should be automatic. If you go to the savegames tab there should be a drop down for savegame backups. There will be several backups listed per savegame slot if they exist. The server will save a backup every autosave period. It should save something like the most recent 6 or 7 autosaves and then keep a daily save and then a few saves going back one per week for a few weeks. TO restore a backup you select the backup you wish to restore and click on the restore button. then restart the server. For me I set the autosaves to happen every hour so I have hourly restore points for a few hours then daily restore points going back a few days, etc. It sounds to me like the save got corrupted. I believe this might happen if you have the server set to either auto restart on empty or the server pauses on empty and it was in the act of saving when someone left. What I usually suggest if this happens on our servers is that if you save the game manually wait 2 min or so before existing.
How do I fix a game log file error on the server you recommended? I followed your video exactly and got into my server once , and then had to log out due to forgetting a mod , and now I can’t get back and keep getting the error message on the server . I’ve tried removing all mods and restarting but I’m getting no where .
what is the error?
I paid for a dedicated server but when I get into the game I can't get into the store to buy anything. I also can't see contracts or get bank loans. Am I doing something wrong?
you need to join a farm when you get in game.
is it long to wait for the server that i just create to be listed?
im not sure what the question is related to. Are you asking if there is a wait from when you 'start' the server and you see it listed in the multiplayer menu in game? Or if there is a wait from when you order a server to get access? If its the former it will take a few minutes for the game to start up just as it does when you launch the game on your PC on console. The server is launching an text only version of the game on the server, initializing all the mods, loading the map and mods and spawning all the items in the save. You can monitor the progress of the server startup by looking at the game log under settings.

uuhm my web portal doesnt even load. i can not acces it. im doing everything from my mail but it doesnt load the adress they gave me?
can you help me to even open de web interface of my server. cause it says on my internet that i cannot reach the web interface??
If you have rented a server and can not access it I would suggest reaching out to the companies support.
Is there a way to upload save game files from local to dedicated server on Xbox or is that just for PC servers?
There is no way to upload a console save game that I am aware as I do not think you have access to the savegames to zip it up and then upload it via the server browser.
How do I add the create a farm in the game? I didn’t upload anything and have no mods.
I don't have the upload mods option..... weird.
What Dedi app do you use? I'm not familiar with them
There would be an app in your phones store from giants. I looked the other day and didnt see the 22 app yet. It was something like Dedi19 for Fs19 from Giants. You can start/stop the server see whos on, see the server resource stats from the moible app.
@@FarmerKlein ok thanks I'll keep an eye out for it
I have save and I was play on that save but... when I will leave it's clear save... how I can save the game?
In the dedicated server web interface there is an option to enable autosave. If you specify a duration in minutes the server will save automatically. If you wish to conduct a manual save you must be admin in the game session then the save option will appear as it does normally in game.
Thx works now :))
@@FarmerKlein
My server keeps shutting down after I start it up and all it says in the logs is “couldn’t inform friends of server”. But when it does launch, it won’t let me load FS22 from my desktop because I’m still logged in on the VPS. Any issue how to fix either issues?
As the video states you must use different activation keys for server and client.
@@FarmerKlein so I have to buy a whole other copy of farming sim?
Thank you! Is it possible to do this for mod maps like nomans land?
Sure just upload the mod map and once that is done yiu can pick it from the list of maps on the main screen.

YES. With FS22 and crossplay any console player can play on a dedicated server as long as the server does not PC only mods enabled.
@@FarmerKlein thx man.

So if i start a dedicated server on pc am i able to control it on my console? I have both pc and console i just dont want to start one on pc and only be a guest of my own server on console. If that makes since? Any help would be fantastic.
In FS22 console players can join dedicated server games yes. as long as you flag the server as cross play and only activate crossplay compatible mods.
So I just rented a server and I’m on console, also did it on my iPhone, it was giving me a url to follow and my phone won’t load the page, if I just punch that in to any computer will it let me access my panel to start the game up?

Where I can find Login and Password to log on a dedicated server?
i got server on Nitrado.
I would assume Nitrado would send it via email or it would be in your customer portal. I never used Nitrado as a host. I can say that Gameservers whom I used to use would send it in an email to you and GPortal who I now use the link to the web portal is found within your server portal page.
When I go to the web interface and click start server it shows it online. But if i exit the tab out or go to any other page it instantly says offline. Any ideas how to fix this?
look at the server log to see why its going back offline.
@@FarmerKlein Server log was empty but I ended up figuring it out. The problem was on Nitrado's side. Corrupt game files no matter how many times I uninstalled and reinstalled through there website.

if the admin password is not accepted by the web interface then you should contact your server hosting company.
My mods will not upload , extracted or not
All mods must be in zip format to work for MP. Mods must also be explicitly set to be allowed on MP servers. There is a mutliplayer = allowed line in the xml that must exist for the server to accept the mod.
Can console players add a local game to a server?
No as you have no way to get to the file system of the console to access the savegame.
need help... i cant find my server under fs22... i set it all up with password and everything but when i search it i cant find it.... any help?
dont mess with the search filters and put in the first few letters of the server name not the whole thing. Aso make sure your up to date with the game as servers are running 1.1.1.0
what about the Server deposit and stuff ???
server deposit?
Any ideas why my server keeps crashing today? But its been fine the past two days. Just random disconnects and then the server isn't in the list after until I stop it and start it again.
Giants is having issues keeping up with MP demand on their matchmaking servers. Unprecidented demand I woudl say with crossplay. The steam numbers for concurrent FS22 players this last week has been crazy and thats just steam let alone Xbox, Playstation, Epic and direct from giants purchases or disks.
What do i do if i never got the email with the username and password i rented a nitrado password and cant log into my server
Contact their support. Although I would look in your junk or spam folders before you do so as the email may have gone there instead of your inbox.
Is there a way to ban/block a player from the game?
Sure, they need to be in the server and then you can go to the in game MP menu as an admin and ban a user.
How can I transfer my locally saved farm onto the new dedicated server that I purchased?
Fairly sure I talked about it in one of these server videos. zip up the files within the savegame folder locally and upload it to one of the 20 savegame slots on the server then pick that slot from the home screen..
Does it work? I’m unable to put a current save on a dedicated server. Tends to freeze at 99% synchronise
@@jaybevan9953 Sure it works how else did I have the same save on both the Console and PC challenge server for the April event. If it hangs when you try to join look at your in game log to see what its hanging in. maybe you have a mod that is not quite 100% MP compatable.
hello i have a server and when ever i search it up it doesn't show do you have any idea why (yes it is online XD)
Giants had an issue with their matchmaking servers today I would restart your server and see if it shows up in the listing after a few min.
How would mods work if I’m on pc and my friends are on Xbox
You would have to use only crossplay enabled mods from the Giants mod hub. They would have the mods they dont have autodownloaded. If you activate a non crossplay mod they cant join.
the video start at 2:00
Is there less lag with a dedicated server?
Depends on if the lag is a result of the host having a weak network connection.
@@FarmerKlein so the host connection determines that. Hmm. I work on the road constantly and trying to figure out a way me and my son can play together.
Well lag is network connection dependant. If your hosing your own server off a home network connection or if your doing a local hosted MP session then the hosts internet connection will be utilized more than if they where connecting to someone else. Depending on a persons home internet connection and what else might be going on with that connection it could have greater lag than if you where using say a hosted server out of a datacenter. In the end every player may have a different experence based on their own internet connection also. I have seen some players from other countries have a lower ping rate to the same server than some players here in the US just based upon various users home connections.
Is it possible to download a server save folder locally?
Sure you can download the save from the web interface as a zip that you would then unzip and move the contents to into one of your local save game folders.
Is there any way I could play on a mod map on console? When you set up the server you get to choose between the 3 standard maps. What if we uploaded a savegame from a pc from that map? I don`t have fs 22 on pc so can`t try it.
You can upload any mod map that is crossplay and it will be selectable after activating it to start a save using it.
@@FarmerKlein Thank you so much!! That really helped us. It was a little tricky but got it. :)
Anyway to fix the terrible lag?
Lag can be caused by several things. 1) could be slow internet or overloaded internet connection. 2) could be an overtaxed server or servers network connection. 3) could be something on the server side or client side spewing log errors causing performance problems. 4) could be the client overloaded as a result of to much to render. List can go on. You would need to work thru the various issues to find the culprit.
Is it possible to upload an Xbox game save to a server?
Not that I am aware of. Unless you somehow have access to your gamesaves directly. They must be uploaded to the server via a web uploader in zip format.

@@FarmerKlein as in the multiplayer menu can’t find the server it’s a stock server no mods on it and it won’t even turn off gives a file corrupt error message already reinstalled 2 times and still no luck
If its a server you rented I would contact the host you rented it from via their support ticket.
kde to mam najst aby som zisil to administrátorské heslo
The individual who setup the server would know the admin password for in game. If your refering to the admin password to login to the web interface then the host of the server should have provided it to the individual renting the server or have a way to login to the web interface from within their own hosting account.
Does anyone know if its possible to save the game from server and play it on ps5 for offline play ?
I doubt it as you do not have access to the PS5 file system the server you would download the save game as a zip file. On PC you would then unzip that file and place the resulting contents of the savegame folder into one of the savegame folders in you FarmingSimulator2022 folder but on PS5 you have no such access.
@@FarmerKlein ah well it would be nice if you could, I do play on pc but have friends on playstation we thought by logging in as admin then saving the game it would but its like you said only saves on the server. Thank you for the reply really appreciated
how do i get those login infos? it keeps saying wrong password/name, tried ftp
Unless your host provides ftp then it won't work that way. Direct individual questions on accessing your server with the host you acquired it from. I would have no idea why provided login info is not working for you.
GameServers seem questionable, they show demo servers, but it is extremely vague and LS22 doesn't let you search a server by IP. So how do you go about testing these demo servers? The person setting that page up obviously has never played the game.
You would need to know the name of the server to find it in the list from within the game. I have used Gameservers since 2017 thru FS17, FS19 and now FS22.
@@FarmerKlein What are the demo servers names, they only list them as ip addresses and generalized, vague map titles like FarmSim22.
@@davidlawrence3230 I dont know them I honestly never tried to connect to their demo servers.
@@FarmerKlein has anyone reported the rubberbanding effect playing on GameServers? I'm just wondering how nice performance is for five players.
@@davidlawrence3230 What you describe is more akin to bandwidth limitations at the client than the server side. I have had servers with up to 10 concurrent players from gameservers with no issues that could not be attributed to either a mod causing problems, general internet latency or a users known weak internet connection. As with any internet based service select the datacenter that is as central located to the majority of players to minimize latency back to the server. FS multiplayer takes very little bandwidth from client to server but if someone is on a weak internet connection then they will be the first to notice as the server has more and more to update across all the clients the more users are on manipulating the map and as such changing the environment for everyone. I would offer you to try out the community server on my discord but at this time no one is using it as we are waiting on an interesting crossplay map to show up. Gameservers does allow you to move to a different server with out any real hassle beyond uploading the save game and mods again in the event you land on a server with high sustained load or the server your own develops high sustained load during your time using it as all their servers are shared resources with other clients.

i set up port forwarding 8080 as u said but im not sure what else it could be
@@FarmerKlein Quick question though maybe i did forwarding incorrectly. there a setting in the router that says service type. i put farming as the name does it have to be a specific name ? like http
wait wait wait. You setup port forwarding. so this is not rented server its one you are running from your home? If thats the case then you will need to open port 80 also to your dedicated server IP to allow the web traffic into it. OR best yet as that can post network security risks as hackers love to bang on port 80 for web servers is to host the mods for your dedicated server using a cloud storage account like dropbox or google drive and then share that link out to your friends to get the mods.
@@FarmerKlein ah ok thank you i think ill just use drive to share mods. and ya its a private server not rented one :) i cant justify the cost to rent one.
Does the game continually run even if players are not logged in? I want to rent a server but I want to know if the time still moves forward if no one is on so my crops and what not will keep growing and wither if I dont log in every day.
it will pause instantly when no one is connected (there is a setting for that. Its automatically set to pause)
It can do either. As the video showed there is a pause when empty setting. it can pause if no one is on or time can continue to pass. its up to you.

Is it possible to add a console save to a server?
not that I know if. Consoles do not let you get access to the file system so unless there is a way to backup your save and then later download it on a computer no.

Is anyone else having problems with nitrado? I literally can't go more then a day and a half without it not showing up in multi-player and I have to hunt down the problem
I am sorry I can not help as I have not used Nitrado. Is it as simple as restarting the server? Sometimes this needs to be done if the Giants matchmaking servers go offline as the servers need to reregister with their service but usually if this happens it need to be done with all servers and we have not run into this issue that I am aware of with the servers we use from GameServers as of late.

Can you get a server and use a farm you’ve already started
The video demonstrated uploading a save game.
How do you update the server once a new update drops?
Depending on the host it may auto update. With Gameservers they do not auto update which for me is one reason I like them. It allows us to update the server when we are ready. For Gameservers login to the mygames portal and then click on your server. Pick the Mods tab and then there should be an install option for the update. When I looked earlier this was not showing for me so they may take a little bit to get the server portals updated to show the update.

You must be admin on the server and then you can manually save but ideally you would setup autosave in the server control panel as I outlined in the video. I set my servers to autosave every hour.
Love your videos. Rented a server and al working fine exept one thin. When I upload a mod and put it in the mod folder the game stil says its unavavible. I do not play crossplay. Hope you have a solution.
Farm on from sweden
Then you upload the mod to the server you have to also activate it from the main page of the web interface. The game must be stopped. Add mod to server via the mod web page and then go to the home page and on the bottom activate it. then start the server back up.
@@FarmerKlein sorry, have done al that but it stil say that mods missing.
@@rolandmahl2777 If the mod is not listed after uploading then its possible the mod is not 'multiplayer compatible'. Mods need a line in the XML that says if it is or not ok to be used on a server.

You need a second copy of the game but yes. A different video on that topic exists in the playlist.
but how do i become an admin
Of the server or the MP session? The server your already the admin when you login with the username and password the server host has given you. for the MP session you would enter the admin password you setup when you setup the MP session on the server webpage and then your admin only for the duration of that session.
does sir reply ? got a question
How can I rent a server on ps5
The same way one would on Xbox or PC. By visiting one of the dedicated server hosts like GPortal (affilate link in description) and signing up for a server. You setup the server side just as this video shows and then you join the server in game again the same way Xbox or PC players join. I assume PS5 has a browser function you can use or your phone or computer you might have access to for the signing up and setup of the server itself.
@@FarmerKlein alright I got it thank you
How do you join as an admin?
You cant join as admin you have to login as admin after you are in the session by going to one of the barn icons at the bottom it will say login as admin then enter the admin password.
