[Discussion] How to setup your own server

[utopiate]

hey all,

Requesting a bit of help. I've been trying to setup a server using the setup guide on the first post. I'm using R30 files but if I use the latest client hook (dinput8.dll) dated 26 ‎July ‎2013, ‏‎02:04:10 then the server won't start giving the error;

"The application was unable to start correctly (oxc0150002)."

Using an older version or even completely removing it from the directory allows the server to start but obviously cannot hook into the backend and thus does not show on the browser.

Has anyone experienced this? known issue?

I tried downloading R32 and R34 files but none of the ones I found were any good, often just erroring with various probs.

Server is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (VPS - Xeon quad 2gb ram with 4.5gb pagefile - raid ssd)

Any help really appreciated

cheers utopiate

R30 is so old.. just move on to R32 or R34

Such errors usually mean that you have a problem with the Visual C++ Redistributables.
Reinstall them (also .NET Framework 4.5).

I am not saying it will fix it, I am just saying to move on to R32/34 anyway since 30 is old.

Yep makes sense, .net 4.5 will need a reboot so it'll have to wait as another populated server is running but I'll report back. Thanks RH

@mizudg as I said in my original post I've had trouble finding decent R32/34 files but if you can point me in the right direction via pm then alls good. However, please don't do this if it contravenes site policy

hmm sry to report that neither vc++ or .net 4.5 resolved the issue. Would someone mind mailing/pm'ing me what they know to be working server files? cheers

Ok so I got sent a link for the R34 files but adding the latest dinput8.dll and running my .bat just gives me the same error. I have installed the Visual C++ Redistributables and .net 4.5 and rebooted the box but still the same error.

The error means that you're missing a .DLL afaik. Did you install VS C++ Redistributables 2005-2010?

Can someone please help me.
One of my LAN computers can run the server and the other wont, what is the problem and how can I fix it? Ports are open. When I run the startserver.bat on my second PC it says that master server is unreachable. Log says that plasma is discconected backend.

Sounds like a firewall issue to me.

You were right, my software firewall Comodo blocked access even when it was off.
One more thing, How do I change my server to normal. Curently it shows silver head so its not completly hardcore.
I am using Procon.
