Atlas2 crashing as dedicated server?

by Martin Schultz · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 07/05/2006 (5:20 am) · 7 replies

I merged to the Ms 3.5 and have it up running fine so far including Atlas2 (release mode). I tried running now TSE in a dedicated mode and TSE always crashes right after the first log statements of Atlas. When I run TSE as standalone with the gui, it works fine.

I would love to have some just simply test their TSE.exe with the parameter "-dedicated" to see if it works.

Thanks,
Martin

Just tried it with the Water Demo, it crashed at Atlas loading:

Hmm.. thats strange indeed, it looks like in dedicated mode, there are no mod paths setup and its failing when trying to initialise the atlasInstnace with those filenames.

Not sure of a fix, but make sure the mod paths are defined?

I found a thread here:

Which may help you get past this stage, but atlas2 still crashes my dedicated server. (See my new post)

Thanks for the post, Jack. I suppose Ben fixed it with MS 4.

Can anyone confirm that this is fixed w/ latest Atlas2?

Yes, confirmed that it's fixed. In this screenshot there's a dedicated TSE server running on the left and on the right a connected client. Good job and thanks for fixing this! :-)
