    Server runs fine in the lobby but it crashes right before the match begins.

    I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 and all packages in win32/support have been installed and the server has been restarted. If there's any other information that I could provide to help I would be glad to.

    http://broseph.org/misc/unreal-v20643-2 ... .40.01.dmp

    Command line I'm using:
    Code:
    @start mncds.exe server HostileLobby?game=HostileGame.HGameInfo_PreGameLobby?bAllowJuicePurch=True?bAllowBotPurch=True?bAllowHazards=True?bAllowMascot=True?bAllowCustomClass=True?bAllowChangeClass=True?bForceRndClass=False?bIsLanMatch=False?bIsDedicated=True?bAllowTeamSelect=True?bAutoBalance=True?MatchDuration=2?OTDuration=2?ClassLimitAssault=6?ClassLimitTank=6?ClassLimitSupport=6?ClassLimitAssassin=6?ClassLimitGunner=6?ClassLimitSniper=6?MaxStarRating=4?MinNumToStart=1?ServerDescription="MNCDS - Standard" -ServerInstance=0 -log=DedicatedServer.log -STEAM_DEDSERVER -seekfreeloadingserver -nohomedir
    Thanks in advance!

    Looks like you're running it from a weird path:
    Code:
    C:\UserFiles\StacMasterS\GameServers\TC86711607585631008633088\binaries\win32\mncds.exe

    Why not put it in %program files%\mnc or something simple.

    Also, double check folder permissions for the user you're running that bat file as. Or just run the bat as administrator.

    I've set it up so it can be controlled by TCAdmin - that's why the path is weird. All permissions are enabled for the entire folder and I am exclusively running the .bat as an administrator. I can try running it from Program Files I guess but I don't see why that would be an issue.

    Alternatively, add that directory to your PATH variable.

    I see where you're going with that and I just tried it and it didn't work. It shouldn't be necessary because the bat is in the same folder as the executable..

    Again, the server works up until people start actually playing. So they can join it and hang out in the lobby indefinitely but it crashes immediately after.

    Weird. I wish I had something to view those DMP files with, but I'm not sure what to do with them.

    Can't do much without the symbols files.

    I just tried running it in a different folder and it works great.. there must be something I'm missing with the permissions. I'll update the thread if I figure it out.
