[FIXED]Can't Host Dedicated Server - Windows 7

[Lone Wolf]

I tried hosting a dedicated server by doing the -dedicated thing... it didn't work. Raptor told me to do it in command prompt. Didn't work. He can't help me past that because he doesn't have a windows 7. He told me that watusimoto can, though. Anyone else can help too, i'd be glad to try it out.

PROOF OF NONWORKINGNESS:
Command Line:

Command Line "Run as Administrator" mode:

(Sorry about the white, i didn't bother busting out photoshop, so i used paint; Open the image on a different tab to zoom it in)

Yup... doesn't work.

BTW, the "proof of not workingness" saved us a lot of back and forth... good idea to include it!

Ok, here's how to make it work: You need to specify the -rootdatadir param. You can get the correct value by right-clicking on the Bitfighter shortcut in your Start menu, and do properties. Look at the Target item. As a hint, here is what I need to do:

  Code:

bitfighter -dedicated -rootdatadir "C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Bitfighter"

Please let us know if this fixes the problem!
