TFS 1.3 Windows Server 2019

[undead mage]

So I've tried to start my server on a windows vps but the console closes straight away without loading anything. I have opened it aswell in cmd to see if it's just really fast but there to it doesn't show any errors and just jumps to the next line and let's you write a new command. I have already tried installing VC_redist_64 but this doesn't have seemed to solve the problem.

Did you install/create your database and wrote the right mysql info in your config.lua?
Also if your Windows VPS has old processor you might have to do like explained here.

TFS 1.X+ - Illegal Instruction on compilling

Im follwing this guide: github.com/otland/forgottenserver/wiki/Compiling-on-Windows-%28vcpkg%29 When i try to open the .exe outisde VB, it crashes without message. Inside VB, this happens. Any thoughts?

Try opening the server in Powershell. You should be able to see exactly where the server stopped booting up.

Yea 100% sure I did that right. The website connects as it should and the server config has been configured as it should to.

I've tried that but the same happens to Powershell

Did you "open with" powershell? You should open a shell in that folder and run it with ./ServerName.exe

Powershell shouldn't close when an app like that fails to run.

 

[undead mage]

Well Powershell doesn't close but beneath I opened the exe with ./theforgottenserver.exe and it just jumps to the next line like cmd and let's you write a new line without any errors.

Did you compile this yourself?

Have you tried recreating the problem on a stock server from the current TFS build + a stock data folder?

Also, do you have a key.pem file within your main TFS folder?

 

[undead mage]

1. No I did not.

2. Will try it in a moment.

3. Yes I do.

i had the same issue when i changed from tfs 1.2 to 1.3, the issue couldn't be solved even after changing the os copy many times so the solution i decided to go with is to change to linux, i knew nothing about it it took me 1 day to run my server by reading tutorials and solving any issue stops me so i think its time for you to go ahead too, i don't think this issue can be solved

I switched from 1.2 to 1.3 with no problems at all besides a few lib errors that were solved by switching out the lib / events folders.

If you'd like, pm me. I'll see if it's still causing an issue when running on my machine? It might be something on your computer that'd be causing it to crash.

nvm about me, iam using linux easily now and my pc is windows 10 so all good, it was just advice cause you will switch to linux anyway one day, faster more secure and better

Absolutely. It's much easier to manage the server from a Linux machine. I don't see the problem in building it out on Windows, however. I would think that running on Windows and Linux with the same build would be much the same.

As for any project, it's better to use what you're comfortable using. Unless you're running a huge server with thousands of connections on a daily basis, I don't see the issue with using Windows.

2. I've used the already build exe from appveynor and the same thing happens like that last screenshot I've sent.

Yea I eventually will change to linux but not yet

Have you tried one of the released builds on GitHub?

Yea that's the one I was referring to from AppVeyor

 

[Aoxomoxoa]

Try using this build here: TFS Master
Here is a scan for the folder: VirusTotal

I had just compiled and ran that from the TFS Master branch on GitHub. So it should be working fine.

 

[undead mage]

That doesn't seem to be working either unfortunately so I guess my vps is missing something. =/

Try this one, I just compiled/tested on my PC and it worked without any issues.
Latest forgotten server compiled for Windows 64-bit, I only switched Enhanced Instruction Set to SSE2 so it can run on old processor (might be your issue).
