Hello,
I am taking the liberty of contacting you in order to ask for your help.
Indeed I have hosted BMS dedicated server for several years until the 4.33.
Then after a few years I tried to start again with the same server but with a change of CG in the meantime (it had burned). A change of OS version from 2012R2 to 2016
I had to see the changes of the network code of the 4.34 much research on the forums the new process is method on the hosting.
A lot of posts like the following helped me:

I tried to run the server via RDS but it crashed at startup. So I had to use TemViewer.
I arrive now on the 3D (1 time out of 5) when I get the screen and all blue but it still runs behind.
At the end of 10 to 30min BMS by in step of answer then crash instantaneously. (see attached crash file.)

Thinking it was due to a Quadro CG recognized by the games as a GT8800, I tried the approach by the CPU power as proposed by this post.

I would therefore like to exchange with you on your experience and recommendation in order to be able to host BMS again.
Thank you in advance for your help.
