Solved.

I am working on hosting a dedicated server. I have got it to start, exceptions to firewall, ports forwarded all the normal stuff. However, when I launch the start.bat or server.bat however you want to call it, the server.ini file gets overwritten with the default values. I have tried to /save and /stop and edit the file again. Only for it to be overwritten again on the next launch. I am not using any third party software. Just notepad++ for the editing of the ini. I have even tried with regular notepad. I do have some mods in, but I have even removed them and tried as well. This is my server.ini settings: [Game] Scenario=1 Seed=358741268 Difficulty=0 HardcoreEnabled=false InfiniteResources=false PlayTutorial=false CollisionDamage=1 SafePlayerInput=false PlayerToPlayerDamage=false LogoutInvincibility=true LogoutInvincibilityDelay=30 ShipyardBoundBuilding=true FullBuildingUnlocked=true RepairingAlwaysAllowed=false BlockOverlapExploit=false PermaDestruction=false DockingRestrictions=true Barrier=true Storyline=true UnlimitedProcessingPower=false UnlimitedShipSize=false RelationLossFactor=1 RelationGainFactor=1 StartingResources=0 DamageMultiplier=0.600000024 InitialRelations=0 MapFactions=350 Rifts=200 ResourceAsteroidFactor=1 ResourceWreckageFactor=1 EventsFactor=1 PreciseAIAim=false BlockDestructionThreshold=0.800000012 DevMode=true ExplicitCallables=true BigWreckageDespawnTime=1800 SmallWreckageDespawnTime=900 MaximumFightersPerSectorAndPlayer=-1 MaximumStationsPerSector=-1 MaximumBlocksPerCraft=-1 MaximumVolumePerShip=-1 MaximumVolumePerStation=-1 MaximumPlayerShips=-1 MaximumPlayerStations=-1 MaximumAllianceShips=-1 MaximumAllianceStations=-1 MaximumAllianceShipsPerMember=-1 MaximumAllianceStationsPerMember=-1 MaximumBlocksPerTurret=250 BoardingAllowed=true MinimumCraftSize=0 MaxShipVelocity=0 PlayerInventorySlots=2000 AllianceInventorySlots=2000 Version=2.0.11 sameStartSector=false xsotanInvasionSectors=5 startUpScript=data/scripts/server/server.lua startSectorScript=startsector motd=No homophobia, racism, sexism, discrimination or harassment of any kind No stations or unattended ships in 0:0 Use of bugs, hacks or exploits is not allowed We expect the above rules to be enforced by the administrators [System] MaxTimeStep=1 saveInterval=300 sectorUpdateTimeLimit=300 emptySectorUpdateInterval=0.5 workerThreads=9 generatorThreads=4 scriptBackgroundThreads=2 aliveSectorsPerPlayer=5 weakUpdate=true profiling=false sendCrashReports=true hangDetection=true backups=true backupsPath= statsLogging=true simulateHighLoadServer=false commandsFile= sendSectorDelay=2 placeInShipOnDeathDelay=5 autoSavePerformanceData=false performanceDataAutoSaveFiles=10 timeBetweenPerformanceDataAutoSaves=30 fileClustering=false clusterFileSize=200000000 clusteringThreads=8 [Networking] port=27000 broadcastInterval=5 isMultiplayer=true isListed=true vacSecure=true sendStatsToAdmins=true useSteam=true forceSteam=false rconIp= rconPassword= rconPort=27015 maxReceivableMessageSize=52428800 networkingThreads=2 [Administration] maxPlayers=100 name=[US] Biscuits Space Nerds description=PVE, 24/7 Dedicated, Starting Resources, Hosted in my basement not my moms. password= pausable=false accessListMode=Blacklist steamIdOverride=0 [Meta] branch= This is the log I get: 2022-01-01 23-39-25| Main Thread ID: 1 2022-01-01 23-39-25| Enabled Traces: 2022-01-01 23-39-25| Starting thread [Networking 1 WorkerPool Thread 0]... 2022-01-01 23-39-25| Started thread [Networking 1 WorkerPool Thread 0] with id 2 2022-01-01 23-39-25| Starting thread [Networking 2 WorkerPool Thread 0]... 2022-01-01 23-39-25| Started thread [Networking 2 WorkerPool Thread 0] with id 3 2022-01-01 23-39-25| Avorion server 2.0.11 9bd383de131a running on Windows 10 starting up in "C:\Users\Server\AppData\Roaming\Avorion\galaxies\Greedy" 2022-01-01 23-39-25| Version Hash: 3846310715050629456 2022-01-01 23-39-25| CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @ 2.93GHz 12 Cores 2022-01-01 23-39-25| RAM: 48GB 2022-01-01 23-39-25| 2022-01-01 23-39-25| Detected Modified Files: 2022-01-01 23-39-25| "data/scripts\server\factions.lua" 2022-01-01 23-39-25| Initializing networking... 2022-01-01 23-39-25| Server version, as listed publicly: 2.0.11.34546 2022-01-01 23-39-26| Server connected to Steam successfully 2022-01-01 23-39-26| Server is VAC Secure! 2022-01-01 23-39-26| Game Server Steam ID: 90154655573888005 2022-01-01 23-39-26| Game Port: 27000 2022-01-01 23-39-26| Steam Port: 27021 2022-01-01 23-39-26| Steam Query Port: 27020 2022-01-01 23-39-26| Query Port: 27003 2022-01-01 23-39-26| 2022-01-01 23-39-26| Steam Networking initialized. 2022-01-01 23-39-26| Installed Steam exception handler 2022-01-01 23-39-26| Warning: No RCON password set.
