Question by treendy · Jun 08, 2012 at 02:18 PM · windows server

cant run app on dedicated server

Hello,

A few months ago i was learning networking, and manage to build an application that i opened on my server which i manage to connected to.

Now i have started again, created another application, uploaded, but everytime i try to open it, it crashes??? the first one still works though

so i thought i would create a new project that does nothing, uploaded that, and that also crashes?

Im totally lost now, because if at leaset the empty project runs i could take out parts from my main project to find the problem, but there is no coding problem as there is no code and still crashes?? and also why would my old one still run???

Any help would be great

What do you understand by dedicated server? A root server hosted somewhere on the internet? What kind of build have you created? Win, Mac, web, ...?

Have you checked the logfiles?

Ask specific and detailed questions. Your question can't be answered without a lot discussion...

Thanks for getting back, sorry for the lack of details, wasnt sure which questions too ask, so this helps

I own a dedicated server that i can connect to via Remote Desktop, its a windows 2008 R2 Server and i created a windows build and also a windows 64 bit build with unity

Neither build runs on the server, when i try to run it, it just crashes right away, even if the application is an empty application, the odd thing is i have an old build that does run... the only thing i can think so far that is different is i updated my version of unity (old build was with the current unity for april this year, current build is with the latest current version of unity??

also, i have looked at the logs, but cant seem to make sense... what location would the log be that holds the crash information?

As you can read on the log files page: For standalone builds on windows it's located in the data directory of your build which is right next to your exe.

 EXECNAME_Data\output_log.txt

Well it is possible that the old build which propably uses an older player runs while the current player have some problems on your server.

Make sure you have copied the data folder since it will actually contain your game / application. The exe file is just the standalone player. It's the same for every build (of course every Unity version has it's own version).

BTW: when you say it crashed, what exactly does that mean? Do you get any message? Does it just die silently? Does it freeze? BSOD?

With regards to the crashing, I double click the exe, it opens up with "New Unity Project Configuration" where you select the resolution etc..., then i hit "Play", the window opens, but is just a white screen and at the same time a dialog pops up saying "test.exe has stopped working, windows can check online and an options to close the program

When i expand "View Problem details" it says Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: test.exe Application Version: 3.5.1.43663 Application Timestamp: 4f721d2e (there is more, let me know if you want me to paste it here

Just having a look at that log file now

Ok, just looking at the log, not sure whats needed to fix the problem, but can see there is a diffence between the working and crasing application, see the links below:

App that crashes http://www.treendsolutions.co.uk/unity/output_log(for%20crashing%20app).txt

App that works http://www.treendsolutions.co.uk/unity/output_log(for%20working%20app).txt

From the Logs I think your graphics card does not support Multi-Sampling. try disabling anti-aliasing for the quality you are using in your server (to do that go to: Edit->Project Setting->Quality)

If that doesn't work try turning off more things and lowering the quality. if that doesn't work I think we need to know what is your servers graphics card.
