Anyone Using Windows 2012?

[ViolentCrimes]

Wondering how it works with tcadmin and gameservers. Going to run Day-Z,TF2 & Garrysmod servers on it.

v2 works the same as on windows 2008. Not sure about the games.

2012 is 100 times better than 08. Runs smooth as glass.

Good to know

I'd Rather avoid all new Windows OS. Windows 2008 Is Stable and great!

 

 

PS: I have several Windows 2008 datacenter R2 enterprise Licenses can be used up to 500 times. I bought them for Bulk price. If you are interested contact me .

I agree with you. Windows 2008/2003 are more stable than Windows 2012 (In my opinion).

 

I actually tried to get some games installed and some of them were crashing on windows 2012.. So 2008 FTW!

[HIS-MOTHER]

If your games are crashing on 2012 then you missed some dependencies or a configuration as we run all our games on 2012 without issue.

 

We find it very stable...

Also note interactive services is disabled by default in the registry on 2012

 

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows NoInteractiveServices

Change 1 to 0 and reboot to enable it. Then enable in services .

Ideas

[ViolentCrimes]

I can get the server to start via batch files but not via tcadmin.

[HIS-MOTHER]

Some of the valve titles are tossing that in 2012. Set compatability mode.

And here is a nice way to automate that:

I was running 2012 for quite a while until I decided to go back to CentOS. Instead of using scripts just change the main exe for compatibility with 2008 or R2 because when TCAdmin copies the files it will as well copy the settings.

Tried and restarted notta. I see it in regedit but the server won't work

[HIS-MOTHER]

That script wont work if you are running it under it's own user as you need to set compatability for all users.

 

Setting it under the gameinstalls works best as stated because it then copies and carries that to all the installs.

[ViolentCrimes]

How can I do that?

Sorry for the dumb question but what actually is "interactive services" in TCAdmin?
