FBDj failing to launch (Windows 11)
« on: February 19, 2025, 11:04:39 PM »

Good day all,

With RRR I have come across numerous old server missions and am setting up a server to host them, somewhat as an art gallery in a museum for people to take a look at. I can not seem to get FBDj to work. I have tried on multiple computers, disabling the antivirus and DEP, running windows compatibility in all modes, running as an administrator, yet I can not seem to get FBDj.exe to launch and run at all... It will open up, and then a split second later, shut/crash. I had this problem years ago when the server console itself was doing the same thing, however following the solutions I have tried above rectified it. (Mike you may remember that, it was when I was quite "green" shall we say  ;D). Is there something I am missing here?

Any and all help will be appreciated, thanks.

Cheers,

FBDj is java.
As such, I would recommend not to run FBDj.exe directly, but launch it from a command line:
Code: [Select]
java.exe -jar FBDj.jar config=defaultThat way you should be able to see what's going on.
Other than that, FBDj keeps its logs in the "config/Default" folder, might be worth a look.

Whadya know that worked right off the bat... It is always the ridiculously simple things...

Thanks, will make a RRR post in a few days with more details for the server,

Note, for other users who may be looking at this in the future, I needed to install Java onto the machine running the server.

Simply run:

winget install --exact --id Oracle.JDK.19

in the terminal, then navigate to the FBDj directory, right click on the folder and select "Open in Terminal", then run the command listed above in SAS~Storebror's post.

Cheers,
