Not sure if this is where I should post this or not. I've been gone from EGS for a long while, I had a server years ago and on returning I decided to set up a private server again, however on my server machine the game will not start, Empyiondedicated.exe shows in the task manager for a moment, then goes away. I tested my settings on my computer that I play EGS on, and the server came online. Below is the most recent log file from the server machine, I didn't have any problems running a server before I stopped playing in 2019, but given that the server won't start I have gone back through the step by step guide again anyway with no luck as well as installing Microsoft visual studio redistributable (suggested on the steam forums I think) and the most recent version of Dot Net. This is a fresh install of the server, I'm not sure what else to try, any help would be appreciated. EDIT: I don't know what information the log contains that I would not want anyone to see because I don't see it, but given that I can't post the log here is some basic information. My Machine : Dell R710 Server Blade OS : Windows 10 Enterprise edition 64 bit Processor : Intel E5-26900 2.9ghz 32 Core Installed Ram : 196,562 Installation Type : Dedicated server - Fresh install Installation Version : 1.10.8 Build 4262 Game Type : Default multiplayer Currently installed Via SteamCMD to SteamCMD folder. Previous attempt was installed via steam client to steam folder. Have attempted to launch via Empyriondedicated.cmd, Empyriondedicated_noGraphics.cmd and via EMPAdmin Helper. Per other posts and setup guides: Installed the latest version of Dot net Installed Micrsoft visual studio redistributable The only errors I see in the log are Shaders (I know they should be ignored) and Error starting dedicated server: windowInitialized. Other than that, the log file reads like I started the server then told it to shut down. I don't know what other information I am allowed to provide but, I'm hoping that someone else has run into this before and managed to fix it because after a week of looking over the logs and trying different things that I have found in the setup guides and on other peoples posts, I'm now at a loss as to what else to try.
Log files are confidential. They contain info you dont want others to know about. If you attach the log as file, other players will not be able to open them. Only we can. You can also send it in a private message to us
Empyrion doesn't seem to place nice with the server for Eco, or rather, Eco doesn't play nice with it, to get my server to work, I had to set Empyrion to load BEFORE my Eco Server loads then both come online like thy should, but if eco loads first, Empyrion will not load and doesn't seem to give any errors in the logs. They don't have any overlapping ports, nothing seems to link them in any way, but EGS only loads if it loads before Eco. Should anyone else have this same problem and have additional servers running on the same machine even though nothing seems to link them and no ports overlap, try turning off the other servers anyway, load EGS then load your other servers and see if they all work.
