New dedicated - "Could not retrieve server ID". Telnet works, but not game client.

[vox23]

I have a 7 Days dedicated server running on Ubuntu 22.04 in AWS. I am able to connect to the server via the game's telnet port, but I cannot connect via the game client. I am getting an error that says, "Could not retrieve server ID".

On my Ubuntu VM, ufw is disabled. iptables are full ALLOW. These are the ports I have open via the AWS security group:

8080 - 8082

26900 - 26903

27014 - 27050 (just in case it was a steam issue)

Here is the log file from when the server started:

Here is my serverconfig.xml:

Any idea why I can connect via telnet but not the game client?

I have to say, you have one thing that I have seen in just about every similar report.

This is usually because of an audio device missing a driver, or one that doesn't have driver support in Linux. In early experimental testing, I ran into a very similar issue because of a Bluetooth driver problem. Tested that on both Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, and Debian 10 and 11.

Basically, the server is up; but because the system is looping in trying to initialize the device, it isn't able to handle the network traffic data.

The fix I performed on my test system was to disable the device in UEFI/BIOS, and remove it from the system hardware list in Linux.

I'm running an virtual machine on AWS that does not have access to audio devices. It doesn't come with ALSA or pulseaudio installed, and even if I did install them, there would still be no audio device (I tried).

I verified there were no audio or bluetooth devices installed.

Does a 7 Days dedicated server instance require an audio driver? And if so, why?

edit: both telnet and the web console are working.

I have some additional information. The server is starting and telnet still works, but I'm getting this error when I start the server with screen:

At the end it says "segmentation fault" and it might be some sort of Unity error?

Did you configure Swap?  Has to be 8GB. Your first log shows you are using Ubuntu, which defaults to 2GB.
