Important: Get Your Server IP Address


You will need your LAN IP address throughout this guide. Remember it!.

To find it:

1. Open Command Prompt
2. Type ipconfig
3. Look for IPv4 Address (e.g., 192.168.1.100)

Note: When speaking of IPs I will refer to LOCALHOST (127.0.0.1), LAN(e.g., 192.168.1.200) or WAN(e.g., 142.7.123.34).

Troubleshooting

Spoiler

Spoiler: Login failed for user 'sa'

• Enable SQL Server Authentication mode in SSMS (Server Properties > Security)
• Verify SA password matches config files
• Enable the SA account: Security > Logins > sa > Properties > Status > Login: Enabled

Spoiler: Cannot connect to SQL Server

• Verify SQL Server service is running
• Check TCP/IP is enabled in SQL Configuration Manager
• Confirm port 1433 is set in IPAll

Spoiler: EventLog source already exists

Run the PowerShell commands in Step 8.

Spoiler: Client can't connect

• Verify EndPoint.txt file is configured with LAN/WAN ip
• Verify hosts file is configured correctly on client
• Check Windows Firewall isn't blocking connections
• Confirm IP is correct in all config files

Did you use my files? Do you see your server name in login screen?

i can log in, create an account, walk around in town and even defeat bosses, once i click home screen, it exits the game, when i try to log in into the same account, the game just crashes, im not using the vm option, add me on discord if you can help there: .alexander_the_great

Probably you messed up the database or your game client is corrupt. Did you use any of my files?

i did, i replaced the databases, i downloaded the files from the mediafire link, its yours i assume, no idea whats going on

What you describe happened to me once when I created and account and then touched something about the database. That test account got bricked and made the game crash. I think is a DB mismatch or error. But after that I created a new account and reloged many times without problems.

My best advise, if you cant debug it, just start from scratch.

Oh, and just in case, avoid using names like "test", "test1234", etc.

I'm pretty sure that this is a false positve btw, as expected from a private server

so why would it attempt to download a file from some shady website? i ran the website if its a safe website and it got flagged immediately, i also didnt have this issue previously with the other server i ran

the powershell command, sends out a request to download some JPG that is not an image, rather some virus that installs a exe called TQ_CLR.exe and tells it to run it, this is not a false positive

Shady website? man........ I've been using MediaFire for years (from around ~2009) and everything is fine with this site... Just u need to know when specific file has false positive and when it is an actual virus and in this case is everything normal.

Chill...
