I have a problem, my dear friend: I cannot open the game. When I try to launch it, an error appears stating that a music file is missing. What is the solution?

Dude, what's going on? The database files in the downloaded files don't have the "CF_" prefix, and that's causing the service to fail to start. Why are the database file names different from those in the video? I can't get into challenge mode in the game; it says the server is overloaded. Is this related to the database?

Yes, that was a small mistake I made; the database names need to start with CF_CN_. You just need to rename them—simply open SQL Studio and rename the tables as shown in the video.

However, I still can't enter challenge mode. It keeps telling me that the server is overloaded and asking me to choose a server with fewer players.

this problem is being very common lately, I still don't understand what is happening but you are the 3rd person who says they have the same error, are you running the server on a VM, VPS?, in some cases this can be a Netframework problem, and this is also happening frequently in people who are running the server on the same machine as the client, I recommend separating the server from the client using a VM, VPS, or a server-only machine

I'm running Windows 10 on a virtual machine. I'm about to download Server 2019 to try it out. Waiting for my response.

Well, I just set up a server for a friend in a VM using Windos Server 2019 and it worked the first time. I advise you to do the same. If you need help setting up the server, you can ask for my help via Discord

I'm back again. I stayed up all night installing Server 2019, but I still can't get into Challenge Mode. It just keeps telling me "The server is under high load." It doesn't seem to be a system issue anymore.

wait, are you running the server and client on the same VM?, from the image you posted to me it looks like you are running the server and client on the VM, if that is the case it certainly doesn't work, you need to run only the server on the VM and the client should run on your computer

The CF client cannot run in a virtual machine, so my server is in a virtual machine and the client is on a physical machine.
