I am trying to run a custom game server, Rust at that, and well, it requires to be started by a .BAT file. My problem is, it wont start. The .BAT opens the cmd box but then just sits there. I cant run the server. Its running Windows Server 2012 R2. Please help me fix this. Thanks!

Since the Rust server files are private it's going to be hard to help you as not many people know the correct setup for the server. We can sure try to assist, though.

Is there any text in the command prompt after booting the server? Can you post the contents of your .bat file?

No there is no text. I can run it perfectly fine on my Windows 7 computer, but you do not have the option to install it. Its like WS 2012 does not want to run the .bat file. And the code is: @echo off
rust_server.exe -batchmode -hostname "MY SERVER" -maxplayers 30 -port 28015 -datadir "serverdata/" -oxidedir "save/oxide"

I'd recommend running Windows 2008R2, as that is Windows 7. I'd also remove Oxide from the equation since you want to be sure it's not causing any issues.

Okay I will try WS 2008. Oxide isnt the problem. I have tried both with that and with out.

Okay. I have installed WS 2008 R2 but it still will not work. It just opens up the command prompt and sits there but I can't interact with it. Also, it creates the first time setup files in the background as if the server is running. I hope I can get it to work or I will just have to cancel my subscription

Also the ports for it are blocked? The ports are 28015 and 28016. canyouseeme.org can not see them. I have the firewall off?

It's not likely that the ports are blocked. We don't block any on our side. As for your bat file. Try using something like this..

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
START "" "C:\rust\rust_server.exe" -batchmode -port 28015 -cheatpunch -datadir "save/myserverdata/" -maxplayers 100 -cfg "config/server.cfg"

If you give me a copy of the files I will give it a shot at running it on my dedi running server 2008r2 and I should be able to get it to run via firedeamon which is a good way to run your servers as it gives you a lot of control over them

Okay. I will upload them when I get home from work and let you play with it. I will also try FireDaemon as Im sure you will not be awake at 3:30 am US Central time.

Did you change it to the correct directory?

@ECHO OFF
START "" "C:\rust\rust_server.exe" -batchmode -port 28015 -cheatpunch -datadir "save/myserverdata/" -maxplayers 100 -cfg "config/server.cfg"

Yes. The directory is C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Rust Server\rust_server.exe

Luc, here is a link to the server files I just uploaded. Just run the .exe to extract it. (it all equals about 1.1 GB after extracted) If you can get this running, Please let me know. I am having no luck AT ALL. Thanks for your help
