Steam server error when starting

MarcosRC · Apr 13th 2018

Hi,

So I just downloaded under "Tools" in Steam, the Rising world dedicated server.

First, there must be something misconfigured as in Linux it tries to run the .exe server, you may need to look at that @red51

Anyway, if I manually launch the linux_startscript as I used to do when the server was downloaded from this site before, I get the following:

Code

I just did a basic personalisacion of the server.properties file (server name and such).

Any ideas?

This error is caused by Java 9. Unfortunately Java 9 is currently not supported, so you have to roll back to Java 8 in order to run the server

MarcosRC · Apr 14th 2018

Thanks @red51!

In Debian (testing, where Java 9 was auto installed by an update, but Java 8 was left there) you need to run as root/sudo:

Code

update-alternatives --config java

and choose version 8

That makes Java 8 the default and then RW server works fine again.

Anyway, you still may need to look at RW server in linux from Steam trying to run the exe instead of the linux start script.

Cheers!
