Red Orchestra 2 Server Batch File Wont Start

Post by PsychoShade »

Hello, I have recently installed the RO2 Dedicated Server files via Steam CMD, and when I try to run the batch file provided, it boots up, then just closes out. I was informed through the ticket system that the RO2 folks here can help me out with a solution. Please help!!! I would love to get my server up and running as soon as possible.

Would you mind posting a copy of your batch & log (server.log) file if available?

Sounds like the server directory/file isn't being found by the batch file itself. Using a text editor of your choice, open up the batch file and post the contents here so we may take a closer look.

Did you install the correct version of the Visual C++ libraries that RO2 requires? You can find it under \Binaries\windows\RO2Redist.exe, or you can directly donwload it from Microsoft under C++ runtime library. I think version 2008 is required, 32 bit, but better check it.

When I try to update that file it says I need the Role Management Tool. I do not understand what this means. As far as my batch file, the batch file is as follows:
start .\Binaries\win32\rogame TE-Apartments?minplayers=0 -seekfreeloadingserver

Got it to work through the role management tool on the server box, then installed the file you specified and now the server remains open. :D Thanks a million! Do you guys by chance know the web admin port?

The Web Admin port should be 8080 by default, but the Web Admin needs to be set up first.

Please take a look at the following Tripwire tutorial (it is for Killing Floor 2, but the game engine is the same/similar) under "Setting up Web Admin". It describes the required steps. The .ini file here that you have to modify is ROWeb.ini, not KFWeb.ini of course.

Thank you! Do you know anything about setting the server to Multiplayer Campaign? I edited the appropriate settings, so I thought, but the server stays on Territories, but never loads the campaign map at the end. Thanks a billion! I will get to work on the web admin, asap!

You should be able to set up the campaing through the Web Admin interface, or you can do it through the config files. Here is a link explaining this:
