Bad PID

Getting error when trying to start server steam@server-main:~$ arkmanager run Running command 'run' for instance 'main' 2022-12-20 01:16:39: start 2022-12-20 01:16:39: Running /media/user/Файлопом/user/ARK/ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux/ShooterGameServer TheIsland\?RCONEnabled=True\?RCONPort=32330\?SessionName=ARK\ Server\ Tools\?Port=7778\?QueryPort=27015\?ServerPassword\?ServerAdminPassword=keyboardcat\?MaxPlayers=70\?ServerPassword\?listen 2022-12-20 01:16:39: Server PID: 15257 Shutdown handler: initalize.

SIGABRT (Aborted / Аварийный останов (https://github.com/bminor/glibc/blob/master/po/ru.po#L5423-L5425) -> Emergency stop) is just the signal that the game server uses to terminate itself, and the Bad PID '' is the script indicating that it no longer finds the server running.

Unfortunately there's not much to go on to say why the game server is exiting after 5 seconds.

We are using Debian 11 1st try to run server was with error message that something was wrong with '.uproject' file, we solved it by reinstallation of steamcmd with user 'steam' and reinstalling ark server from there. 2nd try was with error message 'No protocols specified', we solved it by running server under user 'steam' And that's the 3rd error we're trying to solve...

It sounds like there is still potentially something wrong with the ARK server install. Please try running arkmanager update --validate to validate the install files. If that still doesn't work, please try setting LC_ALL=C when running arkmanager to eliminate collation / character types being an issue.

Could it be that the error is caused by the presence of Cyrillic symbols in path?

[klightspeed]

Yes, it is quite possible that the ARK / Unreal Engine 4 server does not properly handle paths with characters that have the high bit set (as is the case with UTF-8, KOI8, or ISO-8859-5 encoded Cyrillic characters). We know it doesn't handle characters with the high bit set on the command-line or in its config file (where it only understands either 7-bit ASCII or 16-bit UTF-16).

Edit: Indeed, UE-22616 mentions this, and was closed as "By Design". I think you might need to move the game server to a path that does not have characters outside 7-bit ASCII.
