Windows 7 doesn't work with Arcemu?

[reloque]

I figured out the problem. Windows 7 uses .64 bit applications, and therefore will not support the common .32 bit servers. Thus I advise you to take the time to search this forum for an accurate guide on how to compile your own server... and make your own .64 bit server. This is not a configuration problem, and is a new fault that seems to be spamming the Emulation Forums like a group of mosquitos... hope this helped!

First, it works fine with W7

Second.. I just lol'd at all the random noobs who were like "ZOOMYGOODNESS, FAAAIL"... Seriously go to another forum is that's what you want to start your replies with. Thank you.

From reading what You said was wrong with the logon server, here is a checklist of what needs to be working:
Makes sure mysql server is running first.
Make sure your IP configurations are correct
Make sure your allowed IP's are correct

That should be it I think I had that problem when I was a noob (THat's long time ago xD) BUt yeah try this checklist It should work. Nothing to do with the OS you are using I'm using W7 server edition, and it's just fine

Now that's a fine example of fail :P you are all wrong.. I also use 64 and it works, it even runs on 86bit

Windows 7, just like Vista and XP, both have x86 and x64 versions. It all depends on which one the user installed or what came pre-installed on their machine.

On topic though, as stated by the other non-idiots that replied here, there could be a number of things that are causing it to crash. I've been using Win7 since beta and haven't run into any problems with my ArcEmu server.

I have Windows7 Ultiamte, and it work's fine for me too. so. YOU FAIL ;D

You more then likely configured it wrong.

Beat me to it. But yeah it depends what architecture your computer has and what the CPU can handle. (off topic) When I first started out I wanted to curse everyone out for miss leading me when I forgot to edit some things. I occasionally run into problems but I try my hardest to find the answer every way possible before I post a topic to keep down spam and annoyances. If you need any help, I can assist as much as I possibly can.

[litttleman10]

is your database updated? that may be the problem, that was my problem

[shadowknight513]

I have Windows 7, works fine for me.

Me too, I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) and it works just fine. I had to download .net Framework 4.0 to make a lot of the tools work, but the arc worked just fine before that.

Well, how can you fix this then?
I am using the P1raten's repack now.
Here is what happens in the ArcEmu Logonserver when it runs:






And then it outputs "Shutdown Complete" on the last line before closing.

As for my configuration files, here they are:

I don't think there is any problems with the configuration files, they are almost default.

Mysql is installed and runs fine, as does the ArcEmu world.exe.
My directories are setup like this (I know arcemu can sometimes require specific directories):
C:\ (Local Disk)
>>ArcEmu
>>>>Arcemu
>>>>>>configs
>>>>>>CrashDumps
>>>>>>dbc
>>>>>>script_bin
>>>>>>scripts
>>>>Server
>>>>>>apache
>>>>>>cgi-bin
>>>>>>htdocs
>>>>>>mysql
>>>>>>perl
>>>>>>php
>>>>>>security
>>>>>>tmp
>>>>Tools
>>>>>>Control panel
>>>>>>GMH
>>>>>>Map Extractor


I can't figure out the problem...? Seems to be something like an auto-terminate function for logonserver?

What you have to do Is Right click and go to properties then go to the Compatibility tab and click run as admin and also Clikc RUN THIS PROGRAM IN Compatibility FOR "WIndows vista service pack 2"
Now run the program and it should work
