Hello.

I’ve compiled server part for my game, as described in A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums , but now MultiClothTestServer.exe gives and error:

In the same time, game exe file - MultiClothTest.exe - works well.

How to fix this issue?

Thank you!

Solved!

  1. In MS VS - Run Build project with Development settings

  2. In MS VS - Run Build project with Development Server settings

  3. Package game

  4. Copy [YourProjectName]Server.exe from [YourGameProjectDir]/Binaries/[PlatformName]/ to [PackagedGameDir]/WindowsNoEditor/[YourProjectName]/Binaries/[PlatformName]/[YourProjectName]Server.exe

  5. Run [PackagedGameDir]/WindowsNoEditor/[YourProjectName]/Binaries/[PlatformName]/[YourProjectName]Server.exe - it will be started in background. Or, run

    [PackagedGameDir]/WindowsNoEditor/[YourProjectName]/Binaries/[PlatformName]/[YourProjectName]Server.exe -log

to see output log of the server ( A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums ) .

Arthur,
Thank you very much indeed for coming back and updating this post with your answer to the problem. It has helped me to get my first dedicated server running at last.
I have not tested all possibilities but I think I was probably putting the server.exe into the wrong folder.
Anyway, it is working so, cheers to you!
