Dedicated server crashing on startup

[Donald Truck]

Just downloaded the dedicated server to my server PC using steamcmd and also logging into steam and downloading it from my library, I have opened the ports and adjusted the settings but when I try to run the server, it gets to [I 00:00:04,755] [ecs] Build zones changed and then just closes. (Full log below) anyone know what the issue is here?

So I've done a little more digging, looking at the functional server log files on my PC versus the broken server log on my server PC. It seems that the server crashes when trying to make a save file. No matter how many times I run the server, it stops in the same place and doesn't create a save. Even if I move the save from my pc onto the server, it can't load it for whatever reason. Anyone else still in the same boat?

[/quote] Same here. 2019 RDP Windows Server.. It looks like a permission issue but i cant realy get it. For testing purposes i grant full access to everyone without success. I also changed the savegame location. Also no success..

By the way, just for clarity, my server PC is actually just running windows 10 pro, so it runs just like a regular desktop.

I was having the exact same issue yesterday. It runs fine on my main pc with 32GB RAM but not on my server machine with 12 GB. I was wondering if it was due to not having enough RAM on the server. I am going to add more and see if it makes a difference. How much RAM do you have available?

[Grey Hawk]

It does look file creation related as windows ev logging is also pointing in that direction. Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program enshrouded_server.exe because of this error. Program: enshrouded_server.exe File:

Possible solution Launch Enshrouded dedicated server exe directly. Right click, 'run as administrator'. Worked for me when server was hanging on 'build zones changed' and not fully launching. IP is set to 0.0.0.0 Name and password are assigned. Port forwarding is setup in router for 15636 & 15637 Server worked the first time as is. However when relaunching it later it hung on 'build zones changed'. Retrying did nothing. Running as admin launched successfully.

But not on my Windows Server 2019.. i make a wild guess.. could it be possible that this error depends on a missing 3d graphic device althought a server normally didn't need one?!? After thinking about the permission theory i will say it can't be the reason because, in my case, the logfiles were written to the same root folder and the same savegame folder without any issue.
