Dedicated server not even beginning to install on my secondary PC

Lieutenant Squirrel · Mar 9, 2020

Above are my server PC specs.

When I start dedicated server it goes through the motions, and dumps an output file (I will paste that here also) seemingly unable to find a directory that doesn't exist.

I have my Steam account etc on my main PC, when it updates the game, I drop a copy on the dedicated server and re-run startdedicated.bat after modifying the server config to have a different seed, so no cross-contamination of previous maps etc...

Here is the output file :

You have errors in your config. You need to fix that.

Moving to Support since this isn't a bug.

Lieutenant Squirrel · Mar 10, 2020

OK thanks, can you point me to the errors in my config please?

The part that gets me confused is there is no reference to how I can find the library files that it is looking for, given there is no such directory, nor can I find these files locally.

Cheers

Can't get any more specific than that.

Can you describe exactly how you get the game on your server computer? It sounds like you just download the game (that you play) on your computer and then just copy it to your server computer, reconfigure the config file and run the startdedictated.bat file.

So is this the regular game you are using or do you download the dedicated server game?

That is exactly what I do. I have never in the last 4 years been successful at using just the dedicated server game

OK, it looks to me it terminates threads due to not finding a library referenced from somewhere that doesnt exist. I even tried on a fresh stock config with the same issues

The bug is in serverconfig.xml, not in some library. I'm not sure where you are looking, but look only at the three lines above, they say it all

I didn't know we could use the regular download as a server. I have always used steam on my server computer to download the dedicated server files.

Unless you just start a regular game on your server and act as a host, the same as any player could. I thought that way though you had to invite players to your game which would mean they couldn't join whenever they wanted, if you weren't around.

Well I have the game on PC1, copy to PC2, run 'startdedicated.bat' with minor tweaks, and it sits and runs for anyone to join for a few months till they update the game.

OK thank you, I skimmed over that. It was a " missing after changing the loot respawn to 14 from 30...

Thank you Meganoth and Prisma501, legend <3
