Hello, - (SOLVED) Solution in Post nr 2
I am newly returning to the OT community and as it's been a few years i'm a bit rusty on things.

My current problem is that forgottenserver.exe closes instantly when i open it. At first my issue was missing libmysql.dll, which easily enough was sorted by adding the dll.
I would look into a solution, however considering that i have been away from this for quite some time, and the fact that i don't get any error messages any help would be much appreciated.

What i have done:
I used the OTland git's tutorial for compiling with their links to boost and SDK. By following the guide i compiled TFS using Visual Studio 2015 without any errors.
I then proceeded to run TFS which lead to the missing libmysql.dll error that i solved by adding the dll.
Now i am stuck at TFS.exe closing instantly when i open it.

Try screenshotting the cmd window before it has a chance to close, to see if there is any information displayed.

I have a feeling your credentials are set-up incorrectly in config.lua , however like you said it's hard to know without some sort of error to look at.

Thanks for the advice. I really should have thought as far as to try that ^^
As for the problem, it was me being stupid. I had not moved the exe and lib file into the actual server directory (Rookie Mistake)
