7D2D dedicated server setup Not working

[Vlad]

Hi,

I hope someone can help me here.

I installed 7daystodie server on my server pc and my main pc to test but both of them are giving me the same error saying :

Windows cant find 7daystodie ?

Any help on how to solve this problem

I followed the online direction on

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/7_Days_to_Die_Dedicated_Server

but it does not seem to work for me

Kind regards

Going to need details on exactly how you set it up, and what you are running it from. The more detail the better.

I ran steam cmd install. then ran the

app_update 294420 to download the latest 7 Days to Die Dedicated Server Alpha stable build

edited the server config with a name and that was it did nothing else.

I then attempted to start the server to make sure its running before i do anything else.

no luck keeps telling me it cant find 7daystodie as soon as i run the bat file to start he server

I did do ports forwarding and firwall rules

I also followed this video with the same result on both my gaming rig and the server rig not sure what i am missing all c++ updates are done and all windows updates are done

Is there a copy of 7DaysToDieServer.exe in the same folder as the startdedicated.bat file?

You should be running the startdedicated.bat in the 7D2D Dedicated Server folder (not 7D2D game folder or SteamCMD folder)

[Look at the files / folder used in the linked video at 2:25]

DETAILS

Part of the startdedicated.bat works out what version of the server program to run ('7DaysToDieServer.exe' for a dedicated server only install or 7DaysToDie.exe for a normal / full install)

If there is not a copy of 7DaysToDieServer.exe in the same folder as startdedicated.bat then it defaults to '7DaysToDie.exe'.

If there is not a copy of '7DaysToDie.exe' in the same folder as startdedicated.bat then it will show a messagebox saying "Windows cannot find '7DaysToDie.exe'. Make sure you've typed the name correctly, then try again."

IF EXIST 7DaysToDieServer.exe (
    set GAMENAME=7DaysToDieServer
    set LOGNAME=output_log_dedi
) ELSE (
    set GAMENAME=7DaysToDie
    set LOGNAME=output_log
)
