Project Reality Forums

Hello everyone,

I am trying to install BF2 server to request a Project Reality Server License.
I followed this tutorial for installing a BF2 server : How to Set Up a Dedicated Battlefield2 Server - Tutorials
I use this operating system: Linux Debian 6.0 x32.
During server start, I have this error:
Can anyone help me solve this problem ? I would welcome your help

Regards,

Palermo

Note : Sorry for my bad english, I'am a french frog

You are trying to install BF2 1.41 linux dedicated server so it wont work. It is not your error, EA hasnt added the final version to its public ftp, and they wont do it ever probably. You need version 1.5 I will se if I can get the installer up on ftp to assist you.

The best thing is to start all over with 1.5

Also see this post. Note that link for wget of 1.5 server is fake, you need real adress and I will try to provide one for you.

Hello MaSSive,

Thank you for giving me an answer so quickly.

I used version 1.5, I forgot to specify. I took the file here : BF2 Dedicated Server 1.50 - Linux (Build 1.5.3153-802.0) Download

It is marked in the error message : I look silly, I wanted to offer a PR server to my team for our 7 years of existence (R?sistance Arm?e Francophone [R.A.F.] - Forum :: Portail).

Anyone has had this error ?

I will still repeat the installation with your link.

Ah sorry I wasnt reading the error right.

Try to put this

sv.internet 0

in serversettings.con

This is because the heartbeat server is off and GameSpy is down, so it may cause a server to fail at start. Since there is no server browser you wont be able to connect to it to verify if it works trough the server browser but you can use IP to connect to it. Also I am unsure if it will work adding it to Gametracker but try to.

I LOVE YOU !!!! IT'S WORKS !!!!

sv.internet 0 => this is the solution !

I do not know how to thank you

Ah the pleasure is mine, dont mention it. I am glad I could help.

PS: I will update my post with server installation binary which is verified and I used it to install my server long time ago. I just had to repack it to .tar.gz because it was in .rar and I dont know which idiot packed a linux binary in rar archive.

But if the one you got works there is no need to reinstall again. I will keep the link up until December when my domain expires and I wont be extending it, so the link will cease to work then.


The link as I promised

a BIG THANK YOU, I thought I would have an answer as quickly. I spent two nights on this problem.

It should modify your tutorial. This could help others

At launch, I have this : We should not pay attention to the word LAN, is that right? (first line)

I will redo a clean install with your link.

It says LAN because we set "sv.internet" to "0" in serversettings.con so that is not odd.

You should probably provide an IP adress for direct connection in your application for PR server, unless there is IP information requested already in the application form. They should know that vBF2 can no longer work with sv.internet 1 so application should pass.

Also I am unsure if you can add server to gametracker, cause I think it asks for "sv.internet" to be at "1", but try and see what you get. If they still require that in application form and its not possible then we should notify them of the need to change the form. I will handle it and you just see the requirements and let me know.

I already told you there is no need to redo the installation if the server works. You just need to basic server set now, cause once you get access to server admin section there will be tutorials there and possibly additional setup steps since the gamespy change, and I am not up to date with this information.

PS: additional steps there for adding a specific user and setting up server t work with that user is security measure. You should know that already running a linux dedi. No third party process should run as root ever.

Thank you for all these explanations !

I make the request tomorrow for Project Reality Server License and I will keep you informed

Ah also one more important note. Once you apply for license keep the vBF2 server up and running, because they will be checking if it exists and if it works.

Good luck.

MaSSive,

I have just had the answer : You have been issued a Project Reality User Server License!

Thank you very much

I got the same exact problem and it seems that sv.internet 0 is not the solution.

Um, have you followed all the steps, as described in tutorial plus my additional steps? Do you run Debian nix or some other?

Post your serversettings.con here in code tags please.

Additionaly try to set the following

Massive thanks for the fast reply. I just found out about daemon from battlelog.co and i can see that for now.
I am completely noob!

Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

Look at the title "Server Installation BF2 Linux : Error GameServer.cpp"

You are under Windows and it isn't the same problem ops:

Indeed! FFS so noobish. Didnt see the title earlier, i just googled the problem and came up to this. Bad reading.

Oh well we were all "noobs" once.

So do you need help setting up Windows dedicated server for PR mod or are you setting up vanilla BF2 server to work with BF2 revive project such as battlelog.co ? If you are not setting up server for PR ( or if you do ) I can help but you may get specific details and meet the requirement better if you ask for help on battlelog.co forum or lookup their tutorials.
