When I run the new DCS Server it fails to launch with
DCS Updater 2.16.3.18

Can't run C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World Open Beta Server\bin-mt/DCS.exe: (2) The system cannot find the file specified. 

The path is wrong and and there is no bin-mt folder. When I run the DCS.exe from C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta Server\bin\DCS.exe I also get an error:
Authorization Failed
Authorization is valid for 2d 23h 59m. The following DLCs are not authorized and will be disabled: TheChannel.

Then it disappears if I hit OK.

start the server directly file from bin folder to solve the issue. The problem is the launcher that is now set to start automatically the multithread version of DCS, that doesn't exist for dedicated server.

This does not work. The program closes itself after the splash screen appears. Using the modular DS.

Setting the shortcut to DCS.exe and appending --server --norender appears to work, though.

to fix the issue we switch to modular dedicated server , we uninstalled and reisntall with modular version
you may try .\bin\DCS_updater.exe update "@dcs_server.openbeta" it should switch to modular or reinstall from scratch

 

So far i saw this issue only for old style dedicated server , no issue for updating modular version

Were we ever informed that the legacy server was going to sunset? 

Same issue and this needs to get fixed...it's been a few days.

What is the "legacy" server?

I'm trying to run the DCS Dedicated Server I downloaded separate from DCS World.

I updated my private dedicated server from 2.8 to 2.9 and had the same issue.

But when I went to the dedicated server download page at the website, I saw that there were two download files. One for 2.8 and one for 2.9.

I uninstalled the 2.8 server on my machine and reinstalled it with the ver 2.9 one and the problem went away. 

It seems the updater for the dedicated server does not "really" update from 2.8 to 2.9. Hope that helps.

Best regards.

Short Summery, uninstalling OB Dedicated Server, downloading 2.9 OB Dedicated Server and installing that fixes the issue - at least for me.

NOTICE: only the download page in English says 2.9 OB Dedicated Server. If you select a different langue at the top of the page by clicking on one of the other flags, all the pages in all the different languages say 2.8(!!) I didn't test to see what they download.

When installing, you will be asked, which if any of the maps you wish to install. If you are installing the Dedicated Server onto the same system where your DCS World installation resides, these maps will not be downloaded again, but rather copied from you DCS World OB installation. The copying will take some time--how long will depend on the hard disks or SSDs you are using--but it will certainly be far quicker than if you have to download the maps.

The 2.9 OB DS does not install a DCS Server Update icon onto your desktop, and the start icon calls DCS_server.exe directly and not DCS_update.exe, so if you want that link you will have to create it yourself.

Can confirm uninstalling old version and reinstalling new 2.9 modular version resolved the issue.

Anybody having issues?  Mine gets to the splash screen (running as admin, clean install, dedicated Win10 PC) and then that's it.  Just sits there with the splash screen, for several hours (until I close it).  

Any ideas?

I reinstalled 2.9 Modular version according this thread, but I'm wondering that Server cannot start all maps? It says in the description:

"Terrain and WWII units modules don't need activation when launched in server mode without rendering, server owners shouldn't buy them. "

It seems that Sinai map does not follow this rule. Other terrains can be started, but Sinai missions are greyed out. Actually the reason seems to be that the Dedicated server has not downloaded any stuff from Sinai to Mods\terrains folder.

----- EDIT -----


Ok, when I manually copied Sinai Folder from OpenBeta installation I can now start it. But still, something to look at.
