C++ How to run server!!!!

A black screen usually means the client can’t properly connect or load the map—check if your IP, port, and config.lua settings match your client. Make sure you’re using the correct Tibia 8.6 client and that all required files (map, datapack) are in the right folders. Also run the server console and look for errors to identify what’s missing or failing.
 
This usually means your client SPR/DAT doesn't match your OTBM (map) SPR/DAT ..

Your client (OTCV8) or whatever tibia.exe you use to login to your server must have SPR/DAT
Your map editor (RME) must use those SPR/DAT from above.. (same as client)

If you can make your engine run these 2 above, you can pretty much load them, then you can worry about matching all items.xml to render whatever you have on both places..

But I guess that's the principle of why you could see that error..

There's also client synch issues were your protocols missmatch and you can't just communicate, or desync client issues were you're not loading the next chunks correctly, shit like that but bro, you downloaded mediafire files, try using github repositories instead, you're gambling with whatever you're running right now
 
1) Open your search bar and type cmd. Press enter.
2) type cd /path-to-your-server (Put the path to your server folder) Ex: C:\Users\User\Desktop\tfs
3) Type .\theforgottenserver-x64.exe (Change for the name of the .exe file in your server folder.

Alternative:
Open your server folder and right-click.
Press "Open in terminal"
Then do step 3 above.

This will allow you to see the error messages before the console closes. Paste a picture of what the console says here for more help.
