Failed to initialize server

[Universum01]

When i try and start the Server Extender i get this error, no matter the ver i use and no logs get reported. I can't boot any servers the start server button does not do anything. It happens when i open the Extender.

I need more information before I can help. If there were no logs I at least still the following:

• Full command line that you are using to launch
• Version that you are running of both SESE and the game
• Delete your /Content/Data folder and have Steam re-validate and download

[Universum01]

No command line, i run it right from SEServerExtender.exe
The server has Ver 01.045.013 and for SESE iv tried SEServerExtender_0.2.10.0-devbuild
SEServerExtender_0.2.9.15
SEServerExtender_0.2.8.5

and everyupdate i do a clean install of all server files so the entire content folder is Ver 01.045.013 fresh

This error has been happening since Update 01.042 i believe.

Are you running it as admin or just running normally? If you are unable to run as admin you need to run with the "nowcf" command line arg.

[Universum01]

Still didn't run but it did produce more data if you will.(sorry for delay was at work)

[chessmaster42]

If you're getting the failed unit tests then something is out of date. Either you have an older game version or you have an older SEServerExtender version.

Iv got a clean copy of SESE and iv got SE fully updated, i do it with the server on updates. (reupdated again today just to check)

[Universum01]

Ok so not sure why this is working but it is,
Ver SEServerExtender_0.2.8.5 works for me but SEServerExtender_0.2.9.0_devbuild onward does not

[DraygoKorvan]

That means your game version is out of date.

[Universum01]

Thats impossible, everyone on my server if playing the latest Ver, i uploaded a clean copy of the updated files 4 times now. If you would like you can Teamview in to see if i missed something

I had the same issue with the latest releases (stable/dev) and also a with a fresh copy from git. I copied SESE to DedicatedServer64. Adding the gamePath=/path/to/se commandline option solved it for me though.

[Universum01]

That did not fix it but i fixed it by moving my game files into the game folder as the SESE, apparently there is and issue with SESE's path finding.

[chessmaster42]

I'm not sure if you know this but SEServerExtender MUST be in the DedicatedServer64 folder along with the other server binaries. It cannot run without them. This is detailed in the setup instructions.

As far as the path finding, there isn't a bug. Chances are you have renamed the folders and the game as well as SEServerExtender expect folders named "Content" and "DedicatedServer64" to exist.

@Jaminb2030 , @bmeier After completely cleaning up and redownloading "DedicatedServer64" and "Content" folders plus following Installation Instructions Are you still having this issue?
