[REL] dedicated server for Windows with no GPU
-
Nice! Is that the “0” key view?
Cheers, Uwe
-
Cool! What’s the default keybinding? I don’t play Falcon. Please share it so I can update the first post.
-
Falcon is not a game, its not to be played
PS: Sat view is the “`” key.
-
Thanks. I’ve updated the first post.
A game. A nerdy game one can’t talk about to passing friends or ever meet anyone playing it. /rant

Sadly after removing dx9display.dsp “setup” still crashes.
Any other ideas what could be causing this? I guess most of the options available using the “setup” menu would also be configurable in Falcon BMS.cfg, right?
Cheers, Uwe
EDIT: “Setup” now works after forcing rdp to connect using a 32bit desktop.I’ve assigned 2 VCPUs to the instance, would 4 help a lot with performance?
Hi Hoover. We have the same problem with the setup menu. Bms crashes every time we click on it.
Can you explain bettet us how do you solved the setup problem? We use team viewer for accessing the server.
P.S.:
We solved the bad view by setting a 1024x768 display resolution. -

I access the server using the Linux rdp client from the command line. You can force 32bit colour depth using the parameter
-a 32
Which windows version are you using? Is there a special reason for using teamviewer instead of RDP?

Thankyou for the answer Hoover, my mistake, we don’t use team viewer, we use VNC. Can you suggest us a better way to access the server?? Windows version is Windows server 2008 r2 standard.

Hm, vnc should be fine too I guess. I don’t think your problems are related to the way you access the server. Maybe you can try a vanilla “remote desktop” connection? I guess win 2008 server should support that out of the box. Are you running a 64bit os and the 64bit fbms binary?
Cheers, Uwe

I’ve not tried Vanilla Remote Desktop yet, because i’m not very able in this stuffs. VNC runs in 32 bit but when i try to get in the “Setup” screen (into BMS UI) BMS crashes…
Yes, 64 bit OS and BMS too. -
Hi sthalik,
great job! I implemented the dll files in my docker setup and it works fine.
Could you please check if it is possible to print a text like “Falcon BMS is in dedicate server mode - Press ESC & E to return” when the screen has turned black? Would help non experienced Users when they are using your dll’s.

Here there’s our vServer specs. Maybe it can help understanding the problem.
Server House: ElasticHost
vCPU: 3500 core Mhz (Assigned At boot base on core-mhz, but we can setup one/two etc… active cores)
vRAM: 4 GB
vHDD: 100 GB
P.S.: please, i’m total noob with servers… so i ask you to speak in the “easiest” way you can do so that i can understand! XD Thank you

Can you post a crashlog please?

Sorry, I should have been a bit clearer I guess:
Check your User/Logs directory in your bms installation folder for all files created at the time of the crash. It won’t help if I look at the logs as i’m a Unix guy, but maybe someone here can shed a light on why things are crashing on your end.
All the best, Uwe

BlacksheepNo, there’s no point.
Here you are
That’s not a crashlog, please copy from User/Config directory.

I’ll post the BMS crash log as soon as possible. Thanks!

Hi Blackglo,
this line looks really weird:
GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX. Vendor: 4318. Device: 401. SubSys: 0. Revision: 0.
Weren’t you saying earlier you’re running on a headless server? BMS crashes in the BuildVideoDriver() function, I have no idea about the BMS source code (not a dev), but I wonder how the GTX gpu got in there.
Cheers, Uwe

Hi guys! Problem solved! After a good server format we made it! But we encountered another problem. When a player exit from the 3d world, his pc remain in the “Leaving airctaft, stby” screen. This happen to all the players who exit from the 3d. Did you know why and how to solve this problem? Thank you!
