Title: battlefront.exe stopped working (for no reason)
Post by: Anyder on July 09, 2013, 01:59:32 AM
ok so a few mins ago, ive tried many times to set up a server with the german root i have, but for some reason it said, battlefront.exe stopped working.
This is so ''stupid'' bcuz i already have one server running in the admin profile.
Any idea ?

By the title I assume you mean the .exe stopped serving some king for no apparent reason? Most unfortunate. I would advise dispatching the king's army to purge the land and then re-build it.

Basically try restarting the server, 9\10 problems can be solved be turning something off and on.

most likely missing an lvl. i know my server crashed on map like mos or naboo plains (it needs DES and GUN for those). best thing to do is copy all the side LVL if you're using multiple maps and see if that fix the issue. it needs those side lvl even if you aren't using AI or natives

also post ur batch file

We need more information. 

As phobos said, please post your batch file if you are using one.  Incorrect parameters can lead to this type of error, or a bad line in your ini file if you are using the GUI.  Remember if using the GUI there are two server ini lines.  One could be good, and one could be bad.

Just because one works, it will not mean that another instance will work properly. In this case, it is not a problem with battlefront.exe, but instead what is being given to it.

Title: [FIXED] battlefront.exe stopped working (for no reason)

Ok so now its fixed, for those who ever get same problem, u just need to run battlefront server.exe as administrator, or add admin permissions to the account.

That is not quite accurate.  The file permissions need to be set properly, that is all.  You can run the exe from any account.  In his case, the file was owned by an administrator, and he was trying to run it from another regular account, and was getting file permission errors that caused it to crash.
