N3 Dedicated Server - Drops back to desktop?

N3 Dedicated Server - Drops back to desktop?

by James Pickar » Sun, 04 Jun 2000 04:00:00

I am currently running an dedicated N3 server on a remote connection
for the "Nascar 3 Australian Championships".

I have had some problems so I uninstalled N3, reinstalled it etc...

To get Demon's to work, you have to at least go to the track to
initialise a number of files.  The only problem is that when I have
configured it the way I want it, when I cluck "Go to track"..
 it just dumps me back to the desktop  :-(   No error messages,
nothing.  Just bang and it kills N3, and I'm back at the desktop.

I am running VNC and running in Software mode (VNC doesn't support
Glide) and there is no sound card in the machine.  I have had it
working before no problems, but can't work out what the problem is
:-(

Here is a copy of the DEBUG.TXT saved from the server.

Any help would be appreciated..

thanks

clear the IPX checkbox multiplayer.
use 16 bit sound.
gotta have the CD in the first time it logs on to WON if using the
"Internet" option.

if your using a switch box to control/view more than one server machine put
a keyboard on the machine that is running N3 instead of swithcing one
keyboard amonst them.
