Compiling tfs 0.4 ERROR: Unable to load config.lua!

Hello!

i have all files in the release folder from the source code.
and im getting this error ERROR: Unable to load config.lua!
but when i open the The forgotten server manually without visual studio its working in the same catalog.

don't open it with visual studio, it opens it inside the release folder
if you want to debug your server open it manually then use ctrl+alt+p to attach debugger to your process

Or just change the working directory.

Googling says it's there, can't confirm:
Project > Properties > Configuration Properties > Debugging > Working Directory

then to start the server he'd have to copy his files over to the release folder and use that as a working directory or swap release destination to his server's folder

No, that only changes the directory in which the binary is run. No need to move anything.

Bump. I dont know how to solve this

I have changed destination as Dantez recommended, i set this to main theforgottenserver directory, but despite this it has been located in (theforgottenserver)/vc14/x64/Release



And server doesnt even pop up (i can see blinking cmd window for a 0.5 second then it disappears).
There's a content of main directory:



Anyone has a solution?

Copy the exe to the same directory as config.lua
