Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/2942

Well, I am having a strange issue. I'm running an lgsm ark server. for some reason every night around 8:30 EST when I'm in the server I realize that I can't switch my tools or any item in my Hotbar. I quit and then the server does not appear in the favorites tab and the steam > View > servers> favorites tab thing. after restarting the server and rebooting the server and waiting 20 sometimes 30 minutes I can't join. the computer has a scheduled reboot at 1 am so that could have something to do with it. yet every morning it works again. sometimes i am unable to join the server throughout the day. and it's not just me who experiences it. its everyone who tries to join. as you can imagine it's not to fun to experience. oh i should mention the server autostarts on boot. I read in another form that distance could have something to do with it. I am not good with distance but I would say its around 5 feet away from my rig so that doesn't seem like anything to worry about. I have other servers including lgsm and non-lgsm servers but none of the ports are shared. I have 8 ethernet ports and 4 network cards so I'm not putting the servers on the same cards.

the output of the command ./arkserver postdetails gives me this output:

i have 2 identical cps, I'm running a raid 5. I have 40 GB of ECC memory if any of this helps that's good. I don't know if this helps but I don't have a pc firewall what so ever. not even iptables. I have a Verizon fios quantum gateway router and a sonic wall. again i don't know if this helps I just don't want to give less information then I need. I have updated the server, lgsm, and all the packets if that helps.

I hope you can help me but I understand if you can not

I've posted this here as well: https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/546626-lgsm-server-cant-join-server-occasionally/

and here https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/9/2574319916023991016/

to reproduce this bug create an ark server and have it now work for an unknown reason similar to my issue i suppose. i mean i really dont know how to reproduce it.

I am afraid I am unsure of what the issue is and it appears to be a game server specific issue. It is possible the issue is related to mods so it's worth checking them
