Hi Trekkan,

I've been using your RAT for the past few weeks for a private dedicated server I run for my family on my media server and I absolutely love it! It has been working flawlessly for me and has been very helpful in managing the server.
I run RAT on my media server and connect to it via a remote desktop connection from my Gaming PC.

Recently, my kids asked me to make a 2nd dedicated server that is a "no zombies" server so they can build to their heart's content without zombie issues, but since doing so, I have run into some issues within RAT as soon as the 2nd server is added.

I have searched extensively on your site and at the official forums to see if anyone else is having this issue with RAT, but have not been able to locate any info.

I am currently using the 01116 experimental version of RAT (as of a few days ago) but I initially started with version 01107. The issues I mention below happen in both versions of the software and I have tried uninstall / reinstalling both versions for testing.

Basically, as soon as the 2nd server is set up and saved into RAT the following issues arise:
  • All of the grab bag data gets wiped from the original server's data page (and the new server's page is blank as well)
  • The server console log page for both servers do not accurately reflect what is happening on either server (it only shows data for one server or the other regardless of which server you are viewing in the RAT server list)
  • All of your standard messages (and the custom ones I've added) disappear from the messages tab on both servers.
Regardless of the issues listed above, RAT still connects to both servers correctly and can shutdown and restart both servers with no issues.

The 2nd server has it's own directory (Steam\SteamApps\common\7 Days To Die Dedicated Server_2 ) and own config files (serverconfig_2.xml etc)
I have also set up and forwarded separate ports for the server, the Telnet and the Control Panel that are different to the original server. Alloc's fixes are also installed in both server directories.
Both servers run simultaneously on the same machine (the media server) without issue any performance issues and I can connect to them and play the game without RAT running.

Worst case scenario is that I will just use RAT for one of the servers and not worry about the other one, but I am hoping there may be some way stop the issues or workaround around them.
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I apologise for the long post, but I wanted to give you as much info as I could.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Cheers,

Grax

Just wanted to post a quick note to let you know I didn't miss this, I've been out of town for work the last week. =) I want to give your post a decent reply and will do so soon. =)
 
Hey there Trekkan,

Thanks for the reply :)
Coincidentally I've been away for work too! I only got back a few days ago ...lol

Sorry for the late reply, but I am still interested in your thoughts on this (if you have time with the impending release of A16)

Cheers,

Grax
