Ok, so I got it working manually from the server, but starting it from tcadmin fails.... When I run the server manually from the tcadmin folder on the server with the AALauncher32.exe it starts with no issues. This starts the game with this command line: "C:\TCAFiles\Users\User\236\AAPG\Binaries\win32\AAGame.exe" server BDX_Intercept_EX /GLOBAL /AuthServerUserName=AuthUser /AuthServerPassword=AuthPass /AuthServerIP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /STEAMSERVERIP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX MULTIHOME=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /NOPAUSE /NOHOMEDIR /CONFIGSUBDIR=AAHostAServerConfig0 /SAP=8780 /SGSP=8777 /SQP=8781 /INST=1 However, when I run it from the TCAdmin Panel it first gives a "Steamworks DLL not found" error box on the server, then when OKed out of that, it is unable to authenticate the server with AA or Steam, so it fails. This is starting the game server with this command line: C:\TCAFiles\Users\User\236\AAPG\Binaries\win32\AAGame.exe server BDX_Breach_EX /GLOBAL /AuthServerUserName=AuthUser /AuthServerPassword=AuthPass /AuthServerIP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /STEAMSERVERIP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX MULTIHOME=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /NOPAUSE /NOHOMEDIR /CONFIGSUBDIR=AAHostAServerConfig0 /SAP=8780 /SGSP=8777 /SQP=8877 /INST=1 I was thinking running from the server the service is run as Administrator, hence why steam would work. So I set the server to be run as Local System via the TCAdmin game config file, but this made no difference. Could it be the " before and after the execute line? But how would I add these in tcadmin? Thanks

KF doesn't work on linux yet, neither does KF2.

Is the Windows firewall on/off? Is your dat license file on the server? Stop the TS server and make sure the process is not running, then start the server via tcadmin.

Thanks for sharing! ...so when would you install mono?

Server says 3.3

I asked on the aa3 forums and this was a reply: Maybe one of the old AA3 server admins can help, we've been on the new version for a while. What is he talking about? I downloaded the files from steam, is that not the way to install the latest files? Thanks

Thanks for the files! I uploaded them, restarted the server...server failed. I uploaded, ran steam update, restarted the server...server failed. Still the same response in the logs with the loop: Log: Data not yet available ScriptLog: INFORMATION: Server is not authorized, requesting authorization again.

The easiest thing to do is a fresh install then import your db. Mirroring the files and config is more complicated I believe. You should submit a support ticket, tcadmin support will be able to help you faster and better.

Hmmm....well, I did the above things and it still says: Server is not authorized, requesting authorization again. Port is open, no firewall. I have the auth lines in both the command line and config file. Service is run as local. I'm puzzled...

Firewall is off.

I submited a ticket to AA to see what the issue is... The info I entered is correct.

I reinstalled and now am getting this error: WARNING: MASS did not have valid server mode for non-LAN server. Trying again in 15.0000 seconds. The server IP is registered.

Have you tried turning the firewall off and try FTP? If it works then you would know for sure it was the firewall causing the issue...

Yes: "{ROOT}\AAPG\Binaries\steam_api.dll" exists....

I have registered the server IP, validated the email address, and received the "Registration Request has Been Approved!" email 24 hours later. But the server still gives this error: Server is not authorized, requesting authorization again. Server using MAS authentication, waiting for MAS result Is there something MORE I have to do!?! Thanks!

Firewall is OFF

Thanks for the help! Now I'm getting these two errors: Wed May 06 10:51:42 2015 - Failure setting terminate on heap corruption: 0 Wed May 06 10:51:42 2015 - About to load Steam_api.dll from "{ROOT}\AAPG\Binaries\steam_api.dll". Wed May 06 10:51:42 2015 - Loading Steam_api.dll Wed May 06 10:51:42 2015 - Steam Apps init failure. Library loaded but Steam Initialization call failed. Wed May 06 10:51:48 2015 - Loader User Prefences not stored MASS did not have valid server mode for non-LAN server.

Made no difference...

I have: /ds Should it be caps? /DS Would that make all the difference!?!

I am using this for the command line: /ds MaxPlayers=$[service.Slots] ServerIP=$[service.IpAddress] SteamServerIP=$[service.QueryPort] /Auth /AuthServerUserName=$[user.UserName] /AuthServerPassword=$[user.Password] /Global /NoHomeDir /Unattended /NoPause /Log=Gameserver.log /ConfigSubDir=AAHostAServerConfig0 But the server fails to start because the launcher window starts on the server!?! And the luncher windows doesn't have any of the comand line info automatically entered, as if it's unable to read the commandline...? When I use the same command line when launching it via the cmd window manually, I get the same launcher window popup, again without any of the command line info. Does anyone have an example working command line? BTW, Yes, the server is registered. Thanks!

What was the issue with the command line? Can you give an example?

Just because you received query failure notifications via email does not mean it's not working, it just means the query protocol isn't working. Those email notifications are not error logs.

This should belong in the game config files section.... I haven't had success with oxide and tcadmin, oxide not run with tcadmin works. At least that's how it was with versions 1-1.8. I'm not sure why.

This working copy came default with tcadmin. The Ship - Windows.xml
