[SOLVED] - Dedicated Server crashing a lot 2.7.0.5118 build

[HC_Official]

SOLVED - Issue was the options.lua file it was copied over from 2.5.6 dedicated server , this worked ok with 2.5.6 DCS World dedicated server but caused the DCS World 2.7 dedicated server to crash, many thanks to @USSR_Rik for helping me solve this problem

 

I updated and started up the server, then connected to the server just using a CA game master slot , and did nothing else no other interaction with game at all, then server crashed

Do you have 'Saved Games\DEDICATED\Config\options.lua' file?

Hi Rik, Yes here it is

 

options = {
    ["graphics"] = {
        ["height"] = 600,
        ["visibRange"] = "High",
        ["width"] = 800,
    },
    ["miscellaneous"] = {
        ["autologin"] = true,
    },
    ["plugins"] = {
    },
}

I am sorry I do not understand @USSR_Rik can you show me what my options.lua should contain please ?

[HC_Official]

Oh hang on , I deleted the options.lua file has re-created its own new one

[USSR_Rik]

Remove your cutted options.lua

Stop server, read created options.lua, you will see:

@USSR_Rik   I just want to thank you for taking the time to help me out with this issue

[USSR_Rik]

No problem.

[USSR_Rik]

Guard for non-complete options.lua will be added to the next 2.7 update, but please don't do it.

[HC_Official]

Sorry about that @USSR_Rik  it was an old config file that did work prefectly fine for the last couple of years hosting DCS dedicated server 2.5
