Yes you are right(in both cases), some Xeons does have a graphics unit. But just for a game, i will not change my CPU (even if I like it). I hope with 2.0 the Dedicated Server will be released. :)

Thanks for the feedback And i think "You simply need 3d-card supporting DX11" thats the point. :noexpression: @_TEddy_: There is only one PCIe slot and my IBM HBA is in it (more info about my Homeserver). The "exotic" external GFX-cards" are crap and my Xeon has no GPU inside (the i7 has - and that's the difference between i7 and Xeon). I never thought to need a GPU on a Server, my fault. :D No seriously, its a shame that there is no 'normal' Dedicated Server for such a great Game! @Nate--IRL--: Yes on 8 and 10 (64bit). But for dcs a dx11 gpu is needed anyway

So what are the solutions? I can't install a GPU because the PCIE-Slot is blocked with my HBA. But what's the problem with "render3D = false"? :o

Hi Guys, i want to Host a local DCS-Server (Internet Speed 100 down and 20up). That should be ok for a few guys. Works great if i host in on my PC with 6 people connected. On my local Home-Server i use ESXI 5.5u2 and on it some VMs. So i set up a Windows 7 64bit VM for DCS and installed the Game (1.5.2.x), vcredist, and DirectX. But everytime i start DCS it only Crashes: Here some System Informations: And the Crash-Report: === Log opened UTC 2016-01-05 08:53:09 00000.000 INFO VFS: Using 'Saved Games': "C:\Users\SRV\Saved Games" 00000.001 INFO DCS: DCS/1.5.2.48726 (x86_64; Windows/6.1.7601) 00000.001 INFO DCS: CPU cores: 4, System RAM: 4095 MB 00000.005 INFO EDCORE: (dDispatcher)enterToState_:0 00000.010 INFO Dispatcher: 2016/1/5 09:53 V1508170900 00000.012 INFO INPUT: Device created Keyboard 00000.137 INFO SOUND: loaded 1074 sdefs from "sounds\sdef" 00000.179 INFO SOUND: XAudio2: Using device ID:'{3.0.0.00000001}.{6C26BA7D-F0B2-4225-B422-8168C5261E45}' Name:'Remoteaudio', channels: 2 00000.680 INFO SOUND: XAudio2: channel layout: Headphones/Stereo 00000.683 INFO SOUND: Using SSE FTZ/DAZ mode. 00000.914 ERROR VFS: Can't mount './CoreMods/WWII Units/Liveries' to '/textures//liveries/'. 00000.920 ERROR VFS: Can't mount './CoreMods/aircraft/Hawk/Textures/Avionics' to '/textures/'. 00000.924 INFO SOUND: loaded 10 sdefs from ".\coremods\aircraft\mig-21bis\sounds\sdef" 00000.974 INFO GRAPHICSVISTA: Creating Resource "Unicode" of type 5 00000.976 INFO DX11BACKEND: TRUNK renderer init: showShaderError coreCount=1 00000.978 ERROR DX11BACKEND: DX11Renderer::init() failed - D3D11CreateDevice() returned DXGI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED 00000.978 INFO DCS: try to write dump information 00000.980 INFO EDCORE: # -------------- 20160105-085310 -------------- 00000.980 INFO EDCORE: 00000.981 INFO EDCORE: # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at ED0C8559 00:00000000 00000.982 INFO EDCORE: 00000000 00000000 0000:00000000 00000.983 INFO EDCORE: ED0C8559 001DEC20 0000:00000000 ?shutdown@DX11Renderer@RenderAPI@@UEAAXXZ()+369 00000.984 INFO EDCORE: ED0C791C 001DEE80 0000:00000000 ?init@DX11Renderer@RenderAPI@@UEAA_NAEAVConfig@Lua@@_KHH_NHHW4FMT_ENUM@render@@W4MSAA_ENUM@6@PEBD@Z()+4AC 00000.985 INFO EDCORE: EF879CB9 001DEFA0 0000:00000000 ?initialize@DXRenderer@Graphics@@UEAA_NPEAXHHH@Z()+259 00000.986 INFO EDCORE: EDE553C8 001DF090 0000:00000000 ??0SceneManager_Implement@@QEAA@XZ()+828 00000.987 INFO EDCORE: EDE6050A 001DF0D0 0000:00000000 ?CreateSceneManager@smSceneManager@@SAXXZ()+2A 00000.987 INFO EDCORE: 400F150B 001DF1B0 0000:00000000 00000.987 INFO EDCORE: 400F0769 001DF230 0000:00000000 00000.988 INFO EDCORE: 401BA4E1 001DF8E0 0000:00000000 00000.989 INFO EDCORE: 401BD6C5 001DF920 0000:00000000 00000.990 INFO EDCORE: 772059CD 001DF950 0000:00000000 BaseThreadInitThunk()+D 00000.991 INFO EDCORE: 7733B981 001DF9A0 0000:00000000 RtlUserThreadStart()+21 00001.045 INFO EDCORE: Minidump created. 00001.045 INFO DCS: try to write track fileI think the Problem ist that line: 00000.978 ERROR DX11BACKEND: DX11Renderer::init() failed - D3D11CreateDevice() returned DXGI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED In my autoexec.cfg (%user%\Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg) i used the "render3D = false" i also tryed to change "render3D = true" to "render3D = false" in the config.lua in the DCS-Game-Directory. I also enabled the 3D-Support in ESXI for Windows 7. But it still crashes. I hope you could help me to fix this. I think the Problem is, that i have no real GFX-Card. :(
