Compiling First time compiling and tfs.exe file just flash up and exit what is wrong?

[Zippiex]

Hello. I just follow the tutorial https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/wiki/Compiling-on-Windows
and I choose release x64 bit in Visual studio because I got 64 bit computer and also windows 10. Anyway I don't know if this is right but I took the tfs.exe file from release folder and put it in server folder and try to start it but it only flash up for a second and then disappear. I was watching the status in the screen fast and load of database and items seems to be good. This is first time I compile on windows so I need some help, what is wrong ?

Run tfs.exe with CMD or powershell. When the program stops you can read the error message without fear of it dissapearing on you.

Thank you. Now I don't get it because I got a config in the same folder as tfs.exe and the config have no comments.

You have to navigate to the directory that tfs.exe is located. Use "cd".

Could it be your config file is actually config.lua.dist? (if so then you need to remove .dist from the file name).
Some windows machines hide file extention names by default. Which may be the reason it appears only as config.lua

Could it be a W10 permission issue? Try to right click and run the file as an administrator.

Try to right click on config.lua and go to properties and see if you have any "unblock" option.

Go in the the directory, up in the nav bar type cmd and then run "theforgottenserver.exe", as I said you're probably running the executable in the cmd from a different directory.

I fixed it. I forgot to write CD in the begining so I did that and go to the server folder then I run theforgottenserver and it worked.
