My Glorious Dedicated Server is (crashing) now?

Post by revok14 »

So, I left for work this AM and my dedicated server was running, as is tradition. I usually pop in from my work computer to check on it. Today, when I got home it was not running. I restarted my computer and went to restart the server, as soon as I click the 'dedicated' button the icon shows up for a split-second in the taskbar area and immediately disappears. I verified that all of my port-forwarding ports were still intact. I was able to join other online servers. I suspect Windows 11 overreach bullsh... but I am not savvy enough to combat it. Any ideas as to what might have happened or where I should look? Thank you.

I reinstalled. It worked. It's a hassle to lose all of your game tweaks :noidea

Likely broken ini file.
So just make backup of server or just ini files. And you can put them back if such happens.

Yes, this is a wise thing to do, thank you.
