(08:35:09) | Companion server failed to start

(08:35:10) | SocketException: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.

(08:35:10) | Server startup complete

(08:35:10) | SteamServer Connected

What is this? I notice there is a new file "companion" in my server folder too

Hi Goldie,

The companion server is for the mobile app fp is developing. You don't have to worry about this error now but if it keeps happening I would look into fixing it. The port the companion server uses is the max of your server or rcon port + 67.

I should also add you can change the port by using "app.port" in your startup config
