MatchAgent not running

[antonio1]

hey guys,
I am trying to setup a local quest server, but after setting everything I try to run the server and MatchAgent just won't start, instead it gives a dmp file.
I set all IPs to 127.0.0.1 since I want it local, and built my own MatchAgent from source.

When I try to run the same stuff on my desktop pc, it works fine, but I want to run it on my laptop. If it helps to fix the problem, the only difference between the setups is that on my laptop I'm using newer version of SQL server managment studio (2018 or something), might be causing the problem?

the log file shows only these lines:

[10/02/20 15:20:32] Command registeration completed
================================== Agent configure info ==================================
[10/02/20 15:20:32] Release Date : Jan 16 2012
===========================================================================================
[10/02/20 15:20:32] Match Agent Created (Port:5100)
[10/02/20 15:20:32] MMatchAgent::ConnectToMatchServer BEGIN
[10/02/20 15:20:32] Request Connect to matchserver ip(127.0.0.1), port(6000).

Any idea why is this instantly crashing ?

your laptop could be outdated, or the agent you're using does not support the windows that you're using.

This problem is the same with mine. MatchAgent didn't show, even in TaskManager.
I installed new W10 OS to my 2 PCs a year ago, and the other one is just this 2023.
And both has the same problem. With the same MatchAgent LOG (antonio1).
Even we forwarded ports, still problem didn't solve.
Sources I am using are Jun13r/Gregon (old, #1 & #2 sources).
Anyone found a perfect solution? Please show us kindness.

OPEN : MatchAgent/stdafx.h
Replace with the code below

#pragma once


#ifndef VC_EXTRALEAN
#define VC_EXTRALEAN
#endif


#ifndef WINVER
#define WINVER 0x601
#endif


#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x601

#include <afxdtctl.h>
#ifndef _AFX_NO_AFXCMN_SUPPORT
#include <afxcmn.h>
#include <afxrich.h>

Go to that location, change it to the code above and try rebuilding.

I tried but still won't. I also tried just to run or open different exe/executable MatchAgents from AbbyG, Jur13n, Gregon, DarkG, EvilG, NextG, and also 2008/v1.0.... All MatchAgents won't show nor appear on screen after I open/run. Everything suddenly closed.. I also looked the MatchAgent at the TaskManager, and to hold/holding the Enter Key or to run MatchAgent hundred times to actually see it in the TaskManager, it was closed immediately/suddenly/instantly in just milliseconds or second 1 by 1.. No matchagent appear on screen.

It looks like the build was debugged.

Change to Release build, Please try again

If it still doesn't work,
Can you tell me the contents of the .DMP file?

I'll give you the file, check if it runs. (MatchAgent.zip)

If the file I gave runs
It is most likely a build issue or another error occurring.

Yours is running and appearing in screen.

I attached: AgentLog_2023-10-22-5.rar
from EvilG matchagent.

I have attached the .cpp .h file to help resolve the error!

If a build error occurs,
The existing code was written in VS 2003 version.
You can change it to fit your VS version.

Do not proceed with the build in Debug
Please proceed with the Release.
(Ex: KOR, BRZ, ~ )


I hope this fixes the error!

If it still hasn't been fixed
Check the Google Drive link below. It is a modified version of Jun13r code. (VS 2003)

Yes. I'm still using VS2003. But since August 2023, I started VS2019 and now this early October, I learned and I can convert GZsources to VS2019 (both are installed, 2003 and 2019)...
But that's the only problem I have now, these MatchAgents.
Now I will first study how to solve this problem because I have read many posts that they are also have this problem. I'll reply here tomorrow... I will first try to reinstall a clean W10 OS on my PC. Thank you very much for helping and taking the time to help.

We can help you use VS 2022.

We will also help you use SRC, which was recently released for free.

MatchAgent issues can be resolved immediately.

Hi qudtlsemf and I am back.
I'm not well experienced and don't have much knowledge but
I found some posts about (IOCP) I/O Completion Ports and this is what GunZ 1 is using. And I found out that the problem is from the:

Connect(pCommObj)

LOG(LOG_PROG, "Request Connect to matchserver ip(%s), port(%i).\n", pszAddr, nPort );
    int nErrCode = Connect(pCommObj);

or from the
m_RealCPNet.Connect (from RealCPNet.h and RealCPNet.cpp)

if (m_RealCPNet.Connect((SOCKET*)&nKey, pCommObj->GetIPString(), pCommObj->GetPort()) == false)
    {
        LOG(LOG_PROG, "if (m_RealCPNet.Connect((SOCKET*)&nKey, pCommObj->GetIPString(), pCommObj->GetPort()) == false)\n");
        delete pCommObj;
        LOG(LOG_PROG, "delete pCommObj;\n");
        LOG(LOG_PROG, "return MERR_UNKNOWN;\n");
        return MERR_UNKNOWN;
    }

Mostly W10 (and most updated W10) even non-Gunz is experiencing this kind of problem about IOCP

You are truly amazing!
You've solved the error!

I think this post will continue to be helpful to others.
Thank you for your hard work!

I'm not good at English, so I'm using Google Translate.
I hope my words were conveyed well.

Now I tried to use VMWare temporarily (from the comment I read on the YT

Today it's working.
