Dsconnect and DSgame servers not launching.

[Shade00]

So I followed the set up guide from the wiki. As well as watching the videos on how to do it. Now obviously I missed something but can't figure out what. When I go to launch the servers they just open and shut almost instantly. The AH server will open but has errors. I am super new to all this so any help would be appreciated.

Please check your logs. They should be in the darkstar/logs folder.

Please check your logs. They should be in the darkstar/logs folder.

This is what the login server log says

This is the game server log

I have checked the links but the only thing I understaned from there is how to find my.ini file, and when I did, I did not found the following line:

Code: Select all

skip-character-set-client-handshake

.

PS: mySQL version is 8.0.15

Any advice would be much appreciate it

[Hector]

PS: mySQL version is 8.0.15

Yup ... that was my problem. Uninstalling 8 and installing 5.7 solves it.

[Delaide]

Why I specifically note in the guide not to use version 8...
