1.08 Dedicated server troubleshooting

[|rsi|super64]

Ah, sorry. Specs listed below:

WinXP Pro SP2w/all patches (clean install)
P4 - 3Ghz cpu
1.5GB DDR 2700 mem

Vid card should not matter since the pc is only used for game servers, which are mostly command line based.

Currently no anti-virus installed. I wanted to try the ArmA server before anything else was put back on.

Specs as requested:
Windows Server 2003 SP2
2.8 Dual Xeon CPUs
2 GB Ram
150 GB Seagate SCSI Drives

All this system does is ArmA... doesnt even run a Web or FTP. Dedicated solely for ArmA and ArmA isnt running... O.o

Like I said, arma_server.exe shows up in the processes... but the server isnt running and no graphical startup is seen.

I did a fresh re-install patching 1.01 --> 1.05 --> 1.08. Twice.

P.S. BTW, the Full Dedicated Server download is unavailable... there needs to be another download mirror or something.

I just wish BIS or someone who knows something would come out and say "yes this is a known issue with the server application happening on some pc's and we're working on it". That would make my day.

Ok, maybe I've got the ball rolling some. I right clicked on the arma_server.exe icon and there was the choice called "analysis". I chose it and it created a report file on the root of C. After it finishes creating this report it says to send it to support@securom.com. So i sent it off. I got a reply back saying,

Quote[/b] ]Greetings.
Thank you for your email. I've checked your analysis file, but will need to consult our developers to offer a solution. I will return to you as soon as I can.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience.

I'll post back as soon as I hear their reply. It seems just like the "1.08 patch will not boot" thread, this is also a securom caused problem. Not a BIS issue.

It's been a week... and no response from BIS on this matter.

There IS a problem with some servers that cause the Arma_server.exe not to work. I see 2 of them are Windows 2003 servers.

A response from BIS would be nice...

FIXED!!!

Securom support sent me a new arma_server.exe this morning. It started my server right up!

I put it on my file server just in case they haven't posted it yet. Thank you Securom for working out this issue.

FIXED ArmA_Server.exe
