Windows problem opening servers

[poncex]

Hi everyone, I formatted my PC a few days ago and now when I try to open my servers they don't open, the console just stays black without loading anything and it closes.

I checked the Windows event viewer and it shows the capture error.

I have reformatted the PC and it still doesn't work. Please, if you could help me solve the problem or see what the cause is, since it is the only thing that does not run correctly.

Check the simple things, if you have items.xml / world map (.otbm) , conection to MySQL database, user, password..

In any case, create a file called restarter and save it with extension .bat,
inside paste this, and where "here.exe" write the name of your .exe to start server, then open it, windows will dont close and if something give an error it tells you what is.

@echo  Restarter

:DEMON
@"here.exe"

@echo Restarting. . .
goto DEMON

:exit

@pause

Thanks for responding, the server has all its corresponding files, since I was using it from another PC, when I compressed it to use it on my other PC is when the problem occurs (when using it on the second PC) since it throws errors in the event viewer, the server also has a restarter file

Hmm, you mean, hosting server online, on your pc, yes ?
If yes, you need to "open ports" on router, or if this not work, ask your internet provider, about "opening ports".
Or buy hosting, for few dollars.
Or through hamachi.
If you need help with this, let me know ; )

Check everything, i added both configs, in between, for better check.
If still, forgotten server will close, very fast.
Record this, and send here, example, you can download, obs for recording.
And i will slow down video, to see, where is error.

Dumb question but, could be because missing redistributables ?

Can be, can be.
poncex, install Microsoft Visual C++ 2013, and Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022.
Here shortcut.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2013

Download Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from Official Microsoft Download Center

The Visual C++ Redistributable Packages install run-time components that are required to run C++ applications that are built by using Visual Studio 2013. For an updated version of these redistributable packages, see KB 3138367.

www.microsoft.com

How to check version, simple 4 seconds tutorial.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022.
x64 version

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

For older computers.
x86 version

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe

If still this will be a problem, then,
if you are using x86, then you need, to use older tfs, like 1.2 or 1.4

Hello, thanks for responding. I've been trying with other SSDs, etc., and the problem persists. To clarify, my servers on other PCs do open normally (meaning that I can open servers with websites and all that).


I tried installing redistributables, and everything, and still nothing, the same thing keeps happening. To clarify, the error is that when I open the console, it stays black, it doesn't show any text (not even the console version, nor that there is a problem with the database or any loaded configuration), closing the console in about 10 seconds, in the event viewer it throws error 1005 as seen in the images.

Now a few minutes ago I tried with a 0.4 server downloaded from another forum and it opened without any problem (understanding that I am using the servers on my local PC since I am just editing them), but the servers of higher versions like 1.5, 1.3, etc. give me that error not letting me open them.


As I said, I've already tried formatting the PC, updating Windows, trying other SSDs and the same thing keeps happening.

Servers 1.5 or 1.3, working previously ?

Yes, i stopped using the PC for a while and when I started using it again it started with these errors.

You have redistributable ( 2015 - 2022 or 2015 - 2019 )
Are you under 32bits on a computer running a 64 bits ? In that case, is normal it won't run.
Net 3.5 or Net 4.0 / Net 4.8 installed (Not necessary for the server, is more for client/launcher..)
Can be also you are missing a .dll ( that is theoretically installed once you install redistributable ) (For example i have: 2005 / 2008 / 2010 / 2012 / 2013 / 2015 - 2022 ( many versions of them ).
Very rare but i see one time also, very old cpu , if server is compiled with a new sdk or any new setting can make crash console after x seconds.
Antivirus , many people think downloading avast or some shit, will protect computer, but most time can block something to run on computer.

Thank you very much for responding. The system is x64-based, and the console is compiled as x64. I installed everything basic, at least to run the server, and so far it doesn't tell me that any DLLs are missing. Now, as for the processor, I could run it and not at the same time, since it's a basic processor (Intel Celeron, at least the one in this notebook). However, previously I could still open my server based on TFS 1.3 (in fact, I edited it for a long time on this notebook). I changed the RAM to 8GB and even installed a new SSD, but the same problem continues (I've read that it could be a user issue, even a hard drive issue).

Hmm, i'm still sure, this is misconfiguration, with configs.
Windows update, not installing all Microsoft Visual c++
Here is, my all microsoft visuals c++

I recommend check slowly, with patience,
and reading, all things in both configs, if there is a error.
If you want, to make this faster, i can check this, through teamviewer.
Idk, maybe you can check ssd, if there is error, by opening cmd, and typing, chkdsk /F

Windows update doesn't update, but the PowerShell command does.
"winget upgrade" - checks what packages you have and then
"winget upgrade --all" - updates everything you have that is outdated.
