Server broken DS config
When I start the server, it crashes directly and throws the following error:
Unable to continue with a broken DS config!
MissionHeader::ReadMissionHeader cannot read mission file. Invalid path given.
Unable to read the mission header ' '
Unable to initialize the game
Game destroyed.

My start command:
cd C:\gameservers\armaReforger_win
start /wait /REALTIME ArmaReforgerServer.exe -config C:\gameservers\armaReforger_win\Configs\config.json" -profile ArmaReforgerServer

My config:
{ "dedicatedServerId": "", "region": "EU", "gameHostBindAddress": "", "gameHostBindPort": 2001, "gameHostRegisterBindAddress": "", "gameHostRegisterPort": 2001, "adminPassword": "changeme", "game": { "name": "Server Name - Mission Name", "password": "", "scenarioId": "{ECC61978EDCC2B5A}Missions/23_Campaign.conf", "playerCountLimit": 32, "autoJoinable": false, "visible": true, "gameProperties": { "serverMaxViewDistance": 2500, "serverMinGrassDistance": 50, "networkViewDistance": 1000, "disableThirdPerson": true, "fastValidation": true, "battlEye": true, "missionHeader": { "m_iPlayerCount": 40, "m_eEditableGameFlags": 6, "m_eDefaultGameFlags": 6, "other": "values" } }, "mods": [ ] } }

This will sound ridiculous, but bear with me. Rename your "Configs" folder to just "config", that seemed to fix that error for me. When I switch the folder name back to "Config", the error returns. Give it a try.

Sadly this doesn't fix it for me.

Also double check that "gameHostBindAddress" is set to your local ipv4 address (or just 0.0.0.0), and that "gameHostRegisterBindAddress" is set to your public ip address.

I overwrite it with the start parameter. Or should I set the addresses in the config too?

It has something to do with the filepath. See I have read that people with a config folder and people not even using a config folder at all have it working no issue.
