Server not running, can't find a solution

[spyllon]

Hello guys.
I can't run the server and can't find the mistake.

I wrote the following message in the main thread, but it looks there are more chances to get an answer opening a new one. So I am going to repeat it here, excuse me, hope I do not go out of rules.

I've played from the first offline server without any kind of problem (just following instructions and playing). I made a folder with all the contents ready to be played, running the early versions of the servers (mono and multi) because they don't give noise with the antivirus and because they are perfect for me.

Then I have not played the game for almost 1 year, recently I wanted to play a bit with the game but can't run again the server.
Before to go asking others I always try to give an answer by myself but it looks like I have no more alternatives.
What I can say is:
-The problem is the same on win10 and win 7;
-Power shell needed the microsoft visual 9.0, I have downloaded it;
-Power shell needed the liblxml2, I have downloaded a WHL file as suggested online to someone with my same error message.

Finally I have got mitmproxy installed.
What happens is: the server loaders reports that everything is fine, the nfsw.exe path is correct, starting the server causes 1 of the 3 cmd panels always crashes and I get the fatal error 5 (and that is right because the server does not run).
If I choose to run by the 0-host.bat I can see all the 3 panels opened and one of them reports an error for mitmdump...googling it I get no answer

I have tried for the first time the latest release of theserver, suspending all the antivirus activity, but the result is a black screen, the game window freezes before it can start. Task manager reports that the game window is stuck.

Thank you, hope you can suggest any solution.
bye

Try 1.9 server version. No antivirus warning, no python, no mitmproxy.

Hi Nilzao thanks for the reply.
I didn't know about this release because the latest here is the 1.8.3.

As I read, in the following link there is a message from you, is because you decided to not release anymore here.


Ok, but maybe I have not understood how to use the release on github.
Do we have to compile it? You said that tha guy Franzen made his installer so at the moment there is no official installer from you (meaning the official crew of developers from the first time).
Or am I missing something.
Thank you again.


Edit:
I've found a server on youtube free of those loops of advertising from the other guy, it is claimed as a Nilzao release. I highly doubt is yours.

I sent one build from source to this Franzen guy, and his made this stupid full of ads release. You can download it and modify and make your own version.

You can try the soapbox-race standalone version too.


@ did a russian version build from source.

@ is working on a brand new nfsw offline server in C#, need .NET framework to run instead of java, almost every windows have it.
