Disk read error during server start
-
Hi,
I've configured a server on my local machine following the guide on the docs page.
Prior to setting up the server I:
- I installed the game from steam with all maps
- Verified the game files
- Ran it from steam for the first time
- Closed the game and ran it from the plutonium launcher then closed it
Then setting up the server I:
- Created a copy of the game under C:\gameserver\IW5
- Installed the server scripts, configured the key and changed the port to 28017
- Launching the server (even without the game started) starts loading the configuration, then fails with "Disk read error" with no file path displayed to indicate what file it was attempting to read.
- I removed all the server files, reverified my game files, re-copied them across and ran it again to no affect.
- I saw some suggest deleting the "zone" directory in %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\iw5 which I did to no effect.
- Similarly, removing the entire %localappdata%\Plutonium\iw5 directory and re-downloading it (Launching plutonium) still yields the same error.
Am I missing something here? The fact that it doesn't provide the path attempting to be read in the error makes it virtually impossible to debug. I tried Windows Event Viewer to see if it would be caught there, but nothing. I also tried running the server as Administrator and it didn't even try to launch, repeatedly crashing and re-starting without end.
My guess initially was a failure to read maps (since the error occurs after the rconWhitelistAdd, which corresponds to the sv_maprotation configuration set after in the server.cfg, but configuring any gamemode and/or map yields nothing, so not sure if it really is that.
Here's an image of the issue:
