Server won't startup?

  • Hello all,


    Hoping someone can help me. My server is hosted on GTXgaming and they had server maintenance earlier today. Now it seems my server won't startup anymore and it gives me an error log.


    Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it?

    Thank you for the help.

  • This message indicates that there is already another process using this address / port. Maybe it's just an "old" RW server instance which is still running in the background? Try to restart the server and see if you still get this error. If restarting the server doesn't help, you have to contact your hoster about this issue...

  • Thanks, Red! I had to have GTX restart the machine cause the problem was on their end, but it's working now.


    Looking forward to the next update, can't wait!
